  • Finally got some street time Turbo 383lt1!

    Well this weekend I finally got the car out, since it is insured etc.
    I had some heating issues but i think that is solved now..

    Anyways I took it out on the highway on a very very conservative tune.
    5PSI, running very rich 10.0 or under, and 19* timing., and small header leak ( just go my new gaskets today)

    I was rolling at around 90km and mashed it, car spools around 3800RPM and the higher I take her the more it pulls!
    It just went all squirrly and roasted the tires until around 140km. This is an Auto car so i was impressed!. Just a built up 4l60e with a 3k stall.

    The next day i drove by and there was about 60+ feet of tire .

    Anyways This is my first turbo car and first time ever welding and i built the entire kit myself.

    Plans will be 10PSI, a tad more timing and meth injection (installed but the tune is rich so it isnt needed yet)

    on the track I may bring it up to 12psi with race gas.

    Hoping to see over 600RWHP street tune.


    Forged 383 lt1 (made 411rwhp N/A)
    9.78:1 comp.
    Garrett 74mm T6 turbo
    50mm wastegate
    dual dsm bov's
    1 5/8 log style headers
    2.5 inch crossover
    4inch DP necked to 3inch about 2 feet down (clearence issues)

    Nice, but I think you're going to start leaking at those BOV's. Go grab some different onces.

      Yea only reason i used them is bc this was a budget build and my buddy gave them to me, i just bought part by part. In total after selling my long tubes and 36# injectors and old cam, I have about 1500ish into the car and did a 4th gen LS1 front brake setup too.
