ok over the course of next year i am going to upgrade the internals so i can get a tt setup and not blow my engine.
so far, i am planning on getting XT-Pro 8.5:1 piston heads and crower billet rods. are these strong enough to handle a street tt G? and is there anything else i would need?
any help would be greatly appreciative

also, could i get the vortech to do 350-400 rwhp?
and does a supercharger's bov sound like a turbo so that when u shift it "pffffftsssss"? just curious, also could i put a greddy type s bov on a vortec kit?
sorry for all the questions

yes, you can get a vortech to get 400rwhp...I'm only 12 shy...see my profile pics...as far as sound...when I rev really high in neutral or shift, it pppsssffffffff and sounds amazing! If you are in the SoCal area, we can meet up and play show and tell.

as far as pistons go....if you're planning to run about around 400-500 whp then i would suggest 9.1:1 pistons. Anymore whp over that then the lower compression should be sufficient..just expect more time to spool up the turbos. I had ordered pauter rods because i have heard that they come perfect out of the box. Arias pistons are also the brand of choice for me =)

Internals are a great thing and I suggest them but you can get a 375-400 hp car with it. You must make sure your tuner know what he is doing.

The vortech emits a hiss sound constantly, that is true. Well not constantly but when the car is in vacuum/not in boost. You do get the psst sound but only at or near full throttle redline shifts because that's when a supercharger has boost to blow off. A turbo builds boost at a lower rpm so theres more oppurtunity for psst shifts.

If you're going to build your motor get a turbo, if you want to stay stock and somewhat safe get a supercharger. I think building your motor for a supercharger is a waste of funds. Unless it's a monster 20psi roots blower like on funny cars and pro-stockers, not the kits for our cars.

 

ya i want a turbo setup but i read that the greddy is bad so what other turbo setup options do i have, i am looking to spend less than 6500 on the actuall kit?
when is the turbonetics single turbo coming out?

Has anyone investigated the forged rods and pistons that Nismo recently released?

How do they compare with the popular names in rods and pistons?

 

I agree, unless you have endless money do not put in a TT kit unless you plan on babying it or until you rebuild the engine, and TT kit will yield out the most HP and handle much more power with a fully rebuilt engine then a supercharger, but no one has done it yet. I know there are a few people turboing their cars, rebuilding and so on and expecting like 600-700 hp at the wheels, so im not exactly sure what your after! Go witht he PE TT kit, and the APS kit looks AMAZING, both great quality..

thanks bro...the sound you heard on that vid is probably when the car is at low rpm's ...it sounds like a jet until under boost, then it shuts up and gets to biz!
