Fairly similair setup to what i’m working on right now except I went with a 3071 instead. It took me like 3 months to decided between the 71 and 76. I’m still not sure if I made the right decision.

my apologies, but a turbo (pics) alone aren’t that hot, that motor all sparkling and such, quite hot… :oops:

EDIT: stock cams? no valvework or rocker arm stoppers?

the boost should hit around 3500-3800 from what im told.  
rocker stoppers are in already but im just trying to get the fornt end of the car finished before i go too crazy on the motor.  
ive got a quote from jgy to build the bottom end and finish off the head but i think it will be over the winter

im thinking your’e gonna be closer to 4000-4400 depending on exhaust a/r

but that turbo will haul ass all the way to 8500rpm no questions

pretty motor dude

Is that the oil drain outlet on the side?

Should you not want that as vertical as possible for maximum efficiency?

Unless you have a pump.

Other then that, not bad.

See you on the track/drag.

Just like sasha said you will probably see spoolup later than that, especially with a short runner manifold and your future cam upgrade. It will still spool up nicely though and really haul ass. As for having your motor built by JGY I suggest doing some research on them, I have read some real bad horror stories about their work and motor builds. Be really careful if you choose to go with them and please do some research on past customer complaints, i’d hate to see them screw someone else over.

You may start to see boost at that RPM range but its going to be very hard to BE fully spooled there. Like Sasha mentioned, 4000 + is where that turbo will kick you in the ass and go.

Just curious why you choose such a large turbo? drag racing the car?

Nice ‘room’ though 🙂 I think we all wish we had a place like that to do work on our cars.

4000+ is not bad. Especially for a drag/highway app. Even on a road course it will not be bad. It’s going to suck for drift/autoX tho.
