My VK LS Turbo build

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

I would have thought that the twin 044 would be enough that max 1400hp or does it not work that way

[Red1m8Participant NZTurbo VX LSx Turbo VK in the build View build HERE Member since: April 10, 2015 Posts: 101]

1400 naturally aspirated on pump gas yes.

Around 1100 hp boosted on pump gas.

And Around 800 hp boosted on E85.

my goal is 1000 hp at the wheels, so two 044s wouldn’t have been enough, would have required a 3rd pump.

Dam nice

[Red1m8Participant NZTurbo VX LSx Turbo VK in the build View build HERE Member since: April 10, 2015 Posts: 101]

Yes , looking forward to the build process.

Very nice piece, but already a hicup, looks like my Belair starter relocation bracket won’t fit

will have to look at a sandwich plate type relocation kit, a mate has one for his conversion so should be able to trial fit before ordering.

failing that will have to swap to a manual rack and move the mounts

[GMH-304Participant Top End82 VH SL, 86 VL SL, 99 VS SS Ute View build HERE Member since: March 13, 2015 Posts: 39]

Should of got the normal LS Next block, it can mount starter on either side.

[Red1m8Participant NZTurbo VX LSx Turbo VK in the build View build HERE Member since: April 10, 2015 Posts: 101]

The supplier only had the Dart SHP and the billet alloy blocks $10k was way outa my budget…

ill make it work, definitely a big step forward from the LY6 block I was gonna run.

What cubes are you going for? Power level? Awesome base to build from

[Red1m8Participant NZTurbo VX LSx Turbo VK in the build View build HERE Member since: April 10, 2015 Posts: 101]

Just a 6.0 , I prefer std stroke and want to leave the max amount of meat in the bore.

A 6ltr is also a better match for my turbo than bigger cubes would be.

Aiming for a reliable 1000 hp plus.

Made a patern to lower it 50mm, and had some new brackets cut on water jet.

worked out pretty good, still need to get some milling done and work out new belt length.

Dam now that’s an up date and half, what you did with the rear coil overs I have to do the same, so much for bolt in, I like you tank idea going to do something similar have a drop in hunger from A.I with surge built into tank and two 460 pumps

 

[Red1m8Participant NZTurbo VX LSx Turbo VK in the build View build HERE Member since: April 10, 2015 Posts: 101]

Yeah I decided one less fuel pump, and getting away from a surge tank and pumps in the boot simplifies the fuel system and all the added cert requirements.
