If you want no boost for part throttle, then a big turbo with low boost settings will do. also, no forced induction at all would be the cheapest way to make 0 boost, IMO.

yeah, i see what you're saying.. pretty much what i want to do is go ahead and buy a big turbo, and run low enough boost to keep the engine from blowing, atleast until i buy an aftermarket block. i want a turbo that is properly sized so that i can stay in the "safe zone" with the stock block, but be able to pump out big numbers when i go with the aftermarket block, without having to upgrade turbochargers. i also only want to hit boost when i want to hit boost, AKA stay out of the boost range for regular driving, but hit it REAL hard when i punch it.

so basically, here's my question: would i be able to run a 76mm (or 67mm) turbocharger, and even possibly an aftermarket top end and keep the power low enough to stay in my stock block's safe range, but be able to up the boost enough to produce 600-650hp when i get an aftermarket block? pretty much what i want is to keep it fairly toned down (below 500 crank hp) until i have a block that can handle it...

thanks for the help JBIGBOOBIES

sounds like your going about it all backwards

dont put a huge turbo on that engine right now. go ahead spray that fucker while your building up the turbo engine. there ya have a safe place. daily driving its on motor. ready to punch it open the bottle

Just my opinion

e3sean · May 10th, 2008, 07:04 PM

as long as u keep stock hci u should be safe not to blow the block up

e3sean · May 10th, 2008, 07:05 PM

why dont u just build a 347 it will cost about the same as a turbo kit and provide some good power

Stock blocks handle alot more turbo HP than any other dute to a non linear boost curve. A stock 5.0 block have handled in excess of 600 HP.

holy shit dude

In a turbo engine you should be able to keep ultra low boost by being easy on the throttle, even at high RPMs.

yeah, but the main reason i wanted to keep the hp low (even when i'm getting in the boost hard) is because i know i'd punch it every once in a while.. i'd rather know the engine was somewhat safe under WOT as opposed to having high hp and having to keep my foot out of it

I gotcha. If you were to keep the punches of throttle to a minumum, I think you'd still be OK.

i have decided to go with a 76mm turbocharger. with stock h/c/i, running the lowest boost possible, about how much CRANK hp would i be looking at? how much CRANK hp would i be looking at with the trickflow street or holley systemax intake, trickflow twisted wedge heads, and custom grind cam with the lowest boost possible?

my goal is to just run this setup until i buy an aftermarket block, or until i blow the engine. then i'll drop in a new aftermarket block and up the boost for the big numbers.

Here is a link to my buddies web page.

His kits are second to none and very cost effective.
