That's propably the most you CAN run without blowing it up (and it is a fully built motor). It might only run 15psi but it's a what, 5.7l? I'll propably get 750hp with only 2.6l, stock internals...

 

no matter how u figure it, engine blocks not designed to have turbos stock, usually really arent meant for boost. Look at the new Mustang Cobras, Ford tried supercharging the aluminum block and it didnt work, so they went and designed an iron block to work with it. And ur talking about a 5.7L vs a 2.6L, thats over 2x as much displacement. "Theres no replacement for displacement," actually there is, its called good engineering and in most cases boost. Compare Vette 5.7 motor to 2.6L GTR motor, what handles more boost stock, given that the GTR was made for boost, thats understandable, but when both built, the GTR can still make as much power as a boosted vette. Not just teh GTR either, look at the Supra, a built up 2JZ, NA motor, new internals and turbo, running like 600hp, they run 10s, the 2JZGTE motor built up can put out well over 600hp with different turbos, and its still a small motor versus the 5.7L.

 

I agree. It's very difficult to run boost on an engine not orginally designed for it. I think the Buick GN, Supra TT and Nissan SR20DET engines are some of the more stout engines out there. For the Supra TT engine, there are some that put down reliable 700hp+ on a completely unopened bottom end. Daily drivers as I understand it also.

 

That Vette is a monster. MT clocked it faster than a Blue Angel Jet up to the quarter mile. Of course after that it's toast, but you know.



Over 1G on the skidpad as well.

 

why does everyone compare a cars acceleration to that of an F18 jet, does anyone have any idea how slow those things start off? Their not exactly holeshotters.
