I've seriously done some thinking and am truly interested in going the LT-Turbo route. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good site to research first about making TUrbo Kits for our cars.?

 

Google.com is your friend.

Try searching for this:

LT1 kit "turbo"

I got over 4000 hits. First one looks promising!

 

Not sure why this forum was picked over the Forced Induction forum. Transfering-

 

Proturbo is in the process of developing a nice kit for us LT1 guys. The question is how long do we have to wait. They won't say yet, maybe this summer?

 

Are you talking about these folks?

If so, those kits have been out since last year.

 

PTK's kit has been out for quite a while. I'm using their headers on my turbo build.

I'm looking for a setup that overall will have 600RW HP.

This is my Goal. But on a FI Setup it's all in the block. So how would one go about building a bomb proof block?

 

By spending wads of cash.

 

PTK's kits is already out and is very nice. Kit will easily make 600rwhp with a T76.

I know this will be a long and interesting project...but when done I think it will be worth it. I really want to as much of the kit as I can myself. Piping and everything else is nothing... only issues are finding a good set of TUrbo manifolds...and figuring out how to set the block up.

 

Yes, that's the kit I was referring to. I was told that they are in the process of making some changes to that kit. I am going to wait for the more updated version of it.

 

The kits have pretty much been updated. The only thing they may change is the access to the first bolt on the driver side header, and its no big deal. PM me if you need any info on the PTK kits.

That's not true. The block is fine for 600 horsepower. You just need a forged rotating assembly.

I wouldn't be concerned with the block until the 800hp range. Slugs, rods and crank...that's another story.

 

I was talkign about the Internals...not the block itself.
