Help with turbo selection LB7

If your friend is truely a friend then do not let him think he is going to make that kind of power on a LB7 and have it live any length of time. 650 - 700 RwHp is a pipe dream on a stock lower end. You may do it once or twice but that's about it. As for a warning before it let's go that's another pipe dream! Most people have run them hard and then go to drive it somewhere and it just cuts loose with no warning at all. If you get lucky and only bend rods in the center 4 cylinders you may be able to reuse the block, if not everything is junk.

I would save the turbo money and really think about what's wanted first and how to go about it properly.
 
Do I hear an ECHO? LOL


But really, obviously he is free to do what he wants. Just wouldn't recommend it.:Cheer:
 
i'd do it. Spray the hell out of it, twins too. Need somebody to show us how far stock internals will go.... again....

I hope your not refering to me I gave logical advice. I gave him real world advice to make his truck hold together at that power level.
 
It's all in the tuneing, if you suck ass at tuning and you can't make a D-Max live at and above 500 RWHP I guess you need to get off the SOUP... There are several tuners out there that have stock internal D-Max's LB7 through LMM runnin and stayin together 500-650 RWHP.

And sayin a rod will window a block at 500-600 RWHP is a pipe dream in it self. yeah it can happen but you could window a fully built engine and billet block if your tuning is bad enough. We shorten and bend rods not window blocks...
 
I will blow up. been there done that. Save the core. Rods and head studs can be done reasonably and the bottom will then last. then turn the wick up.
