It's a very nice kit but I don't think the bottom end can handle much more, it's over kill in my opinion. Would be alot better on the cobra bottom end.
I agree, that motor will be short lived so long as the guy drives it like intended (HARD!!!).
I believe most experts (which I am not) agree that about 500 FWHP is the threshold for a non-forged motor. I mean I guess it will run for awhile but if driven hard I imagine 30k-50k miles?
Any ideas? Will this motor last if driven aggressively?
Weak torque, and I don't want to give up my factory intercooler setup. Its there, it works great, why bother, and it would save cost and cutting to not have to replace that, just develop a sheetmetal upper to keep the factory Garret IC. Is there room in front of the turbos to put a Fluidyne radiator? I'd hate to be limited with our stock cooling system and more power, thats a dead end I don't want to be caught in. I love the turbo idea but something is not right: max torque not until 4750 (before they lifted) and even then it doesn't beat a pullied eaton. Turbos are capable of 1000hp, car doesn't put down half of that (I know, at the wheels) and he's already upgrading to 1300hp turbos?!
