my profile is current to what made the last dyno run for this car. but due to a flywheel failure on the brand new motor i now am rebuilding it again. this time i am going with a 6-bolt 2.4 instead of the 2.3. as well i am changing from bc 280 cams to GSC s3 grinds. with weisco hd pistons in 11.1 compression since this is a e-85 car. all other mods in profile should be current. my issue is it seems that the turbo i currently have will not make the goal im looking for of 750-800 whp. since before the flywheel destroyed my motor i was making just a hair over 500 at 28 psi. so my question is a couple fold.
1. will a hx52 put me in the ball park power level (i love the price)
2. will any turbo that makes this kinda power even work in a 2.4 since im rev limited to about 8000 rpms
3. will a dnp t4 manifold fit said turbo (no fans in the way stock radiator)
im a little stumped on this one guys and i would love some help before i sink a ton more money into this car. i looked but could not find a lot of stroker motors with large turbos. most people running these size turbos run destroked or 2.0 motors. neither of which i want to run.
i know this post is kinda long but i wanted to try to answer as many questions as i could up front
