you guys sure are short tempoered and emotional. lollipops!

I just don't see why I need to be talked down to like that considering I haven't said much in this thread...

Because you said this:

there's no way a stock LPT block is going to hold 350 whp

Even though you don't know what an LPT block can hold.

I don't think anyone on these forums can help you out with how strong the block itself is. Good luck with your project!

trust me I'm going to try and have near that power figure on my HPT motor

I didn't specify whether I meant complete block or just the block itself

I don't think there would be any problem with making 400 hp with the lpt block. The cylinder wall thickness is still over .350 and that is pretty thick as far as cylinder wall thickness. The main thing would be to lower the compression a little and you will be OK

Someone send me a nasty email . "im dishonest" and try to rip everyone off. Its a shame that i offer 5% off for VS memeber, and im doing GB and those whom know me will stand by VMS and know kinda of salesman i am.

ok so maybe there is a need to go off topic

T3/T4E hybrid. 57 trim compressor wheel/50AR compressor housing/63AR turbine housing with a stage 3 wheel and 10lb adjustable internal wastegate bolted onto a stock manifold that I will have some fun with

Now it's just a matter of sorting out who the heck is going to tune this

[ROB @ VMS]

Tuning shouldnt be a problem, Upsolute can do a very good job. Its more or less what injector do you wana go with and how are you going to controll the boost.

[theunderlord]

Poi....

read this thread... I came up with some really good info on this one..

16T on an LPT engine.

i'm pretty sure that belongs in a forum other than "performance modifications," maybe you have something technical to add to the discourse? that would be helpful.

It's a really good idea to piss off the guy (Rob) who helps out tremendously to this site.... cough * sarcasm * cough... Not to mention discounts...

[JHEIII874T5M]

this thread will be closed and moved it does not get back on topic

[ROB @ VMS]

No need to close it,shouldnt have posted it here, but anyways, Jesse we have a turbo you could use if you car to buy it that would bolt directly upto to the manifold but there are fitment issues. The turbo you are looking seems to be a good choice and should fit. Also we are going to make a downpipe adapter that maybe you would like so people can use the 4bolt outlet to adapt to the strate or angled. Just depends where placement of the exhuast outlet is. As for your choice of injectors i feel that is pefect for what you are wanting to do. Let me know when you are ready to install your pump, if its like my install the only thing that suck is the pump is a tad big in dia and its tuff to get it in the sending unit. After thats done we can make a new map from upsolute to start tuning on.

[pennybridge pioneer]

Did we not say stay on topic!

The only weekness which really isnt a weakness until you start making very high cly pressure is the thinner walls. Also the higher compression you can balance out im sure and run less boost to still achieve a final compression that you can run on pump gas as well as other methods of cooling. Cooling will be a good issue to work out as well as what kinda fuel you are going to be using.

so Rob, in your opinion, you can have a nicely powered S70 GLT motor with a turbo upgrade and all the usual mods?

[Bay13]

you can have a nicely powered GLT motor

The GLT badge is not for the motor, it's for the trim package. You can have a GLT with a Non turbo.

I know GLT sounds like it stands for "Great Little Turbo" but it doesn't. I'm not 100% on what it does stand for G, Lux, Touring, sometning like that.

[ROB @ VMS]

Yes i do beleive you can have a good setup with a LPT.
