Your cart doesn't load. What's your goal? What fuel?

damn i was hoping that wouldnt happen. give me a few. thanks for letting me know

 

[AWD-Tony]

Don't quote me on this. Stock 7 bolt rods will start to become an issue around 450ish.

 

[Brandonjffrs96]

is this usable?

Basically, a good healthy engine, proper size injectors and turbo including all supporting mods and lastly something to tune it with. Don’t forget all the maintenance too.

Not sure on which clutch is best for 500 wheel but the info is out there. And yes, bottom end is a must for that level.

if you have the time id really appreciate some advice from you. what parts would you buy to build it up. 7 bolt btw and money isnt an issue, not to sound cocky.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Kiggly hla regulator also

Someone will chime in on building the bottom end. I’ve had basically stock motors on both my dsm’s and only got the 2g to just over 400awhp.

sounds good man. again i appreciate the advice

no problem man. Post your build so I can follow along. Good luck!!

Start with the turbo and go from there man. The build’s based on the direction you want it to go, and the turbo chosen to get you there. The rest falls into place.
500-550whp is ‘expensive’ territory.
Yes. Lots of guys here 375-400whp on bottom end. I’ve read through the 68HTA dyno thread and have seen 20G results on people making around 415-425 on stock bottom end. I personally wouldn’t go much higher than 400-425 on the bottom end for a long time. Idk if it can sustain that or not. Just cause some people have laid down more doesn’t mean the parts aren’t stressing. If it’s over the mechanical limit of the part, you can only do it so many times before she goes.

PM me and I can raddle off recommendations if you want?

Don’t make 13 threads asking the same shit. There are a lot of guys that are going to see the title and will come in here offering their time and advice. Just be patient.

I would go with a fel-pro head gasket, lose the aeromotive fuel rail, go with an fp-red and go with some br8es plugs. Fel-pro composite because that's what has worked for me and countless others while not requiring a great surface to bond to. FP red because it's a perfect match for 5-550hp. Nobody I know uses the br8eix plugs as they don't appear to offer much of an advantage but cost a lot more.

Why the HKS timing belt? You could go with a Gates T167R and save some money.

 

[Bleakley]

I live and die by iridiums, but am moving away from them. I change plugs quite often and mess around with gaps, etc. that the iridiums become less appealing. I have had nothing but great results with them. Every car I own gets a set.

What’s up with the Aeromotive rail. I liked that one.
If you’re going FP Red I say go Black. I always says this —> Same turbine wheel anyway, might as well get the compressor to go with it.


Not to thread jack, but I am curious about FP’s turbos (familiar with 68/71HTA, not so much FP Green other than wheel specs)
Would the green hit 550? Reason I ask is it may make for a faster spoiling turbo than a Red or Black. Again this is mainly for my info but it is also relative to the OP.

What fuel?

This.

What fuel will you be using to get to your power goal?

Just saying, there's a pretty big difference in what's required between 600awhp on 91 octane and 500 bhp on 118+ race gas.
