conversion of a supercharger to a turbo

[ricoswave]

Im looking to convert my 2001 GTP to a turbo. I need some recommendations for a website were I can purchase a turbo installation kit

[matt5112]

25-35 psi?

You know there's a turbo section with a sticky on this right?

ZZP. I already told you. Google it and enjoy.

[ricoswave]

I did not know that. but yeah im wanting to run somewhere around that

[Oxfire]

Well now you have the answer my man. Take your pick at which kit and have fun blowing your tranny.

[ricoswave]

Im not running the stock trans.

[Oxfire]

Im not running the stock trans.

Did I say have fun blowing your stock trans? Nope. You could have all the upgrades done to a 4t65e, but if you're going to go nuts with boost and drive like a madman just to have 500whp or whatever you want to achieve, you'll smoke even a studly built trans.

I don't drive it on the street, its strickly a drag car

434/400 @ 13psi with filter
446/403 @ 13psi without filter (little bit of a gain there)
511/446 @ 16psi without filter (same psi at the track)
529/472 @ 17psi without filter .. was on the verge going lean. So we called it a day.

Just to show you how insane 25-35 PSI is.

Hence...when I say...you'll blow your trans or something else. Sticky drag tires = a blown tranny right quick with enough repetitive pulls and heat. You can argue your case all you want but there is something that has been tried, tested and true with this platform...our trannys SUCK with more than 350WHP. Shiet.

I know its pretty insane but its worth the winnings on the strip

Not when you blow and all your money goes to waste. Fast, Reliable, Cheap. Pick two.

[matt5112]

You're awesome.

You go get 'em tiger.

[ricoswave]

well oxfire, say what you will, its not your problem if I blew the trans or not

[Oxfire]

I am saying what I will and will continue to do so. Don't come crying back on here asking for help when you grenade your car. Have a nice day.

well this thread is useless..

rico, go a googling. learn some.. dont expect answers to be handed to you.

[ricoswave]

well I have been building and helping build drag cars for awhile so I do know what im doing

[Mad Monkey]

then i guess i can go ahead and close this thread since ya know what you are doing.

[1quick]

it sounds good on paper but its not really as cheap as it seems when you actually get to it, your going to spend in the area of 20K to build that car and have it half way reliable at that power level

[GMR Badass]

How did I miss this thread earlier....to the OP...what all do you have done to the trans currently?

And like everyone said that kind of boost isn't needed. 15psi-22psi is about as high as anyone goes one these setups.
