Torq Hub Media hey guys can I get your email I’m building my L77 here in malaysia would really like your advice and maybe help me source parts from Australia for my built. I’ve already got a GTX4202r turbo to be fitted. So will need the performance parts to go with this built. Looking at 700-750hp on e85 preferably stock internals it’s a drift car built .... cheers guys 🙏🏾

Thanks for watching Bullzai, you'll make that power very easily with the fuel and turbo you mentioned providing you have a competent efi tuner familiar with the platform. We recommend turbosmart plazmaman, pwr as well as many other Australian manufacturer for any of your turbo kit specific parts that you need. Is there anything in particular you're struggling to find that you need to get from Australia?

@@bullzaihamdan111 l77 motors aren't normally chosen to be turbocharged that often mainly due to the smaller tuning windows the standard cooling system allows, so a few things I'd suggest are a colder thermostat better steam port cooling, rockers because the trunions won't stand 700hp and you might as well buy rockers with trunions already installed, keep in mind the LS platform rockers are an off centre fulcrum so use "perfect fit" pushrods (standard is fine mostly) Switch the timing chain tensioner to an LS2 style for reliability Keep in mind the standard piston ring gap is tight so you'll need to do good heat exchange so a highly efficient radiator and intercooler are advised. Port the heads as they have really heavy duty valve guides that are quite happy until you start pushing lift over .670 but run stronger valves (stainless preferred) And if you want to bring your compression up deck the heads 30 thou, that'll take you to about 10.8 - 10.7. Although I dont advise this for turbocharging on standard internals as your piston speed will go through the roof and your cylinder pressures will climb and you'll spin a bearing... I think that covers the l77 Hope something helps :)

In the costings we literally just covered the basics of cam and turbo on the motor, and fuel system requirements to make it work. We didn't include the price of the clutch upgrade, trutrak diff centre, ceramic/powdercoating, or the boost, oil pressure and wideband gauges as alot of that is personal preference or application specific (Auto vs Manual etc.)

You said you put in a mellings stock volume hi pressure oil pump what was the reason for this over a hi volume hi pressure ? Thanks in advance !

@TorqHub

3 жыл бұрын

I think the theory Rob went with was that the volume of oil that the LS moves is plenty enough for lubrication, but adding the extra devices could see a slight reduction in pressure across the system. So using a higher pressure relief spring would ensure plenty of oil being pushed to the turbo and flooding the bearings, while not washing oil past too quickly.
