| Engine Build
Ok. Here Goes. I'm looking to build my first Turbo V-6
The engine I have now runs good. But. I want more power.
I talked with John Craig via e-mail on a suitible turbo to acheive what I want performance wise. mid 11's and streetability.
He recommended either a TE-61 or a 62.
He also made mention of a Precision intercooler as a recommendation as well.
List of parts I have to build with so far:
Walbro 340, Adjustable Billet FP Regulator, 57 lb Injectors, LS1 MAF, various new sensors. Mini Starter,
Now for the Questions....
I am thinking of building it from a 4.1 Block.
What year of 4.1's are suitible for the turbo build up?
Brand of Pistons?
A good cam recommendation for both roller and Hyd.?
Timing set. Steel Tooth Double Roller? Nylon stocker?
Heads. Stock with what size of valves?
Aluminum with what size of valves?
Roller Rockers? Tbs rocker set?
Stock intake good enough?
RJC Plate???
Upper plenum recommendation? Hempco, ATR......
62. 65. 70 mm throttle body?
Jay Jackson Treatment. Yes or No?
Headers. What are some of the best out there?
Cold air intake system?
Translator or Translator Plus?
Good Alchy system.
Turbo pre luber?
Oil Pump. High volume or high pressure or High volume/pressure?
I'm pretty sure I'll go with a Jim Testa chip.
I'm sure I missed something. If I did. I'll add it when I think of it.
These are questions I ask that someone will probably throw in a link and say go here (gnttype.org) But. There are many new parts out there that the recipe section probably doesn't have listed yet.
I want recommendations based on what the community here sees as working parts/combinations.
Thankyou. -Matt-
