I'm trying to get to over 1,000 rwhp on high boost setting.
Do you have any info or a build thread on your combo?

What horsepower level and boost setting are you at now?

i dont think he has the kit installed or the car even together from his post. Think he is just trying to figure it out.

Which is impossible to do on any build. there is no set in stone you will be XXXrwhp @ xx amount of boost.

Yeah, here are the stages I went thru.

7psi 530rwhp stock LS6
11psi 650rwhp meth
13psi 717rwhp 4L60 conversion
22psi 883rwhp forged LS6, double pumper fuel system
25psi 1000rwhp race gas

These runs were all on Turbonetics 57/62's. This year I upgraded to Precision 6265's. I haven't cranked these way up yet, just set about 20psi for 900rwhp, with nitrous on top made 1050hp. I have no doubt you will make 1000 easy with a manual trans, and with less boost on your 7.0L.

My car isn't assembled yet. The motor just arrived and the TTIX twin turbo kit will arrive in 2 weeks. I'm looking to have 5 different boost settings with the Pro EFI stand alone ECU.

Ok, what size engine?

I have a 427, TTiX, Precision 6265s, 3" Champion downpipes, 3" exhaust with no mufflers, and 35mm wastegates. In this current configuration, the car will not make less than 21 psi at 5600 rpm. This is with a 6 psi spring in the wastegate. I picked up a 3 bar MAP sensor and plan to do further testing this weekend.

[QUOTE=5 Liter Eater;1590891690]Mainly it's choked up. Very high backpressure makes it a quite inefficient kit that doesn't make "turbo" power per pound of boost. EG: Other kits will crack 1k on less than 20# easy. I need to push mine to ~25# to do that. The log manifolds and T3/five bolt housing meant to be internally gated create high backpressure ratios and non-priority wastegate placement causes some to not be able to run

Sweet!!!! I'm as excited as you are to find out the results. Please let me know how it turns out.

When did you buy your TTIX kit?

My car makes 1140 rwhp and my customer's C6 makes 1160rwhp @ 21 psi.
eliminating back pressure and going with the nice 3" down pipes from champion is a good idea

depending on your goals the t3/t4 hybrid turbos can be limiting and I think around 370 ci might be the sweet spot (like to hear what you all think about that)

I'm going to try the .82 housings with a 62 mm turbo and I think you will be ok to around 1100 hp at the tire which will mean some pretty serious drivetrain mods are in order to handle it.

my advice, worry about hooking up 1000 hp at the tire or back half the car and go racing

Rob,

how much do you think the upgraded 62 mm / 65 mm turbos are worth up top?

I think I've got the 58 mm turbos, but a few folks make over 900 at the tire with those which might work!!

I've got a pair of the .82 mm housings and I'm considering just putting those on the existing smaller snails with the 3" down pipe and trying that out first

I've made 800 at the tire but looking for a just a bit more (900)

Because you have the older turbos like Rkreigh

The DSS carbon fiber drive shaft and RPM level 7 tranny will take care of that power. Aside from that, I have Mickey Thompson drag radials on 18 inch Weld wheels. Anything else I'll need aside from the Pro EFI stand alone with boost-by-MPH?
George from Turbo Technology Inc is upgrading me to mild steel heat coated 3 inch downpipes. I have pretty good aftermarket casting heads and a turbo cam as well as a PMC billet/sheet metal intake manifold and spraying methanol. I'll be disappointed if I don't make at least 1,100 Rwhp on a DynoJet

take a look at the champion 3" down pipes

they are really nice and might fit better.

lots of folks who are at the "baller end of the pool" don't like the smaller t3/t4 turbos which can be limiting, but space is indeed tight.

If you want WAY more than 1000 hairy chested ponies at the tire UPP or custom might be a better route and more system are emerging every day.

the small 2.5 down pipes and and exhaust can add back pressure but even going to the biggest available turbos and 3" downpipes/exh, the system will start to max out with the bigger displacements and HP levels above 1k.

what I tell most folks is "use all of the 1k at the tires and get that to hook well and then you can worry about making more power."

the vette is a great car but the IRS and drivetrain needs lots of time and $$ at that level and even when beefed up can also be a limiting factor

the RPM 4l60 they build now at stage 10 can likely hold the power, or more aggressive and expensive 480LE or glide, but then you also need to invest in much stronger drive shaft, axles, tires, ect.....

IMHO, when going much over 1k at the tire the IRS can be a limiting factor and back halfing the car to go solid rear makes sense to handle the power or spending a whole bunch of money to get an IRS that will live. other kits make more sense when trying to go much higher, but then the car is mainly for bragging rights and dyno charts than actual performance or you are building a dedicated race car.

TTix is enough for me, goes from zero to jail time in nothing flat.

Hey. How did it go once you installed the 3 bar MAP sensor and re-tune?

I know you guys will hate me for this, but I'm not crazy about the howling/whistling sound of the turbos. Is there anything I can do to minimize the sound? I'd much rather hear the motor like I did on my car when it was N/A and Azeri as when it was Superchargers with an ECS centra blower.
I have a stock 3 inch C6 ZO6 exhaust.
-Maybe there is an exhaust system out there that will help out with this...

Even if there is nothing that can be done to minimize the turbo sound, I will just deal with it because I'm dead set on the TTIX kit since I've already bought it and almost everything else I need for it.
