Why dont you search to find your answers OP? Everything you post about has been beaten to death 946 times around here. And no, a tbird with an ECU chip isnt "a badass monster"
compared to a stock LX i'd say it would be a wicked combo. Its a GT ecu with a probinator chip in it. Now i know the chip does a few things like correct fuel map and things like that but after thinking about it if i added bigger injectors than the GT has, not 330's but something larger since i may need it what exactly would i need to do.....lets just say 12 psi. Maybe not 15 cause i dont' want to kill this thing. But would i still need an FCU for the added boost or would the probinator account for that?
My buddy does extremely good welding so i'm going to have him make a flange and have him probably make me a down pipe. I need to find a flange that has the 5 bolt patter unless someone on here has a link to one. I want to keep PS but this summer had some pretty hot 90's days and it didn't really bother me that much. And after i boost this bastard i really don't GAF about the AC so i'll probably just take i out or at least take out the lines and such so i get more room. I'm also picking up a GT head if i can find one thsi weekend and his uncle has a machine shop that would port and polish it. I'm also changing the springs to some new ones unless i should get some that are stiffer. But since i'm not messing with the cam i'm sure i dont' need stiffer springs.
i want to install my tbird so bad so i can see for myself how it feels. Just waiting on getting the inlet adapter made because i dont have much free time working 50 hours a week.
you shouldnt have any problems boosting an lx motor. I ran 10-11 pounds on it for a year and a half and the pistons were in great shape. No sign of detonation at all. The only think that happened was i blew the headgasket.
everything stock GT swapped over. Probinator chipped ecu was the only mod i had. As fpr the tbird im not sure. If it does flow more depending on who you ask, then you may want a walboro 190 and maybe some slightly bigger injectors. if you can afford it i would just buy a wideband and fine tune it.
and wasnt there someone who ran a high 13 sec 1/4 mile pass with a tbird on here? A high 13 sec. car is plenty fast enough for me or else its just going to get me in trouble and most likely become less reliable.

Well the stock car needs slicks to begin with Even my LS when it was stock was traction limited and the V6 torque peak is higher than an F2T.

so needless to say me going over 240hp is somewhat of a reality with a port and polished had, chipped ecu, and t-bird hybrid. Along with the high compression LX running at 12psi. Do i seem crazy or is that figure actually do able?
Yes...you're crazy. Example, a "disco potato" will support 250hp, a tbird will not. It's limit is in the lower 200's. I would like to see dyno sheet to prove me wrong though.
and? do that with a stocker and you might break 14's.
You can break into the 13's with a chip and boost controller with traction, same as a Tbird. Dont fool yourself. Those Chicago guys have been in the 13's for years on stock turbos.

Crazy indeed.
If I could only talk a local guy into coming to dyno... he has a tbird on 15PSI, while Ill have the stocker on 16PSI... Id like to see the dyno differences in a controlled test (Same dyno, same day, same temp, etc)
but this is an LX block not the GT.......so with the higher compression i shoud have more HP per pound of boost. I know 8psi on a stock gt is 145.........and i think its what, every pound more is 7 more hp so it would end up being 169ish hp. Well i remember reading somewhere on here that with LX pistons it would end up being 8psi at 210hp. so using the same theory only maybe makeing it 10 per pound more that would make it almost 240 am i right?
at least i thought, maybe its more like 8psi, LX block, 180hp.........i dont' remember. I should still break at least 200 hp i would think though. But thats also without a chipped ECU. thats based on a stock GT ecu.
yeah someone had some math. But it was an estimate. I think they said 167 instead of 145. That number is only an estimate though and is not dyno proven. the compression really isnt that much higher anyway.
