2002 Turbo L

[RedFire2003]

I wanted to get some input if I could I just talked to someone about My L and Im going to be putting a Turbo kit on it in about a week. I was wondering how much hp you think the stock motor can handle. I had a differnt 2002 L and ran 14psi plus multiple other bolt-ons with a 125hp shot of gas and it held up for quite awhile does anyone think or have experience running 500-550rwhp on a stock L motor? I have been talking to Jdm about buying there longblock but dont have that $ yet. Would it be a better idea just to get some beter connecting rods and go from there becasue that is what went out on my Last 02L? Any comments Ideas??? Im all ears :beer:

500 -550 RWHP on a stock block will go BOOM! The stock rods won't hold up to that much HP.

Kind of on the same topic, how much power could I get out a KB on the stock block and still be safe?

 

[LVSVTLIGHTNING]

are you taking the supercharger out and putting a turbo in there? that would be pretty unique/sick but you're not going to get that supercharger boost from down low

 

[SVTman75]

14lbs is the max that this truck can handle. I'm not sure why we go through this topic over and over again. 14lbs...safe tune and you will have a reliable truck. Some say more...some have blown with less. If ya wanna take a chance then go ahead.....but most will say 12-14lbs with a good tune. It's hard to tune a turbo so be cautious...

I really am not sure it's worth doing this set-up unless you go all the way and do the motor as well. If you can't run the boost and make the power...then I don't think it's worth doing.

 

[SVTman75]

I agree. If ya can't run 16-18+....what's the point other than being different.

 

[ralphy1798]

Get the built block and run 18 psi :beer:

Is it twin turbos? Or Single?

I think you should go with a KB or similar setup since people have done these before if you are onnly looking for 500-550rwhp. But you will need stronger rods.

 

[RedFire2003]

Im still debating talked to a Guy here that will build the lower end and port the heads along with some cams for a good price. But Im thinking of saying f*** it and just whip out the dough and getting the Long block form JDM. Then crank the t76 thats going on it up to 20psi!!!

600HP with a Supercharger is a big difference (stress wise) compared to 600HP with a turbo kit. Not all horsepower is created equally.

yes, but 20 psi is 20 psi...

 

[Silver '01 L]

Yeah,...20 IS 20!
