Daily Driver Turbo lq4 set up

[SCIV]

Check out Jamest

His setup is similar to what you are talking about.

I just checked out his profile. looks alot like what i want. Seems like alot of boost for stock internals though??

welcome from ky...

are you planning on fabbing and installing your own kit or buying a premade one?

[jonathan_tipton90]

Fabbing and installing my own. I've got access to a tig welder for all my tubing and ive got a guy in winchester with a huge water jet machine for any bracketry and the turbo mount. Gettin a good deal becuse i used to work for the guy.

LS motors are holding 10-12 pretty well. You're talking about having forged internals anyway. No problems for you.

Sounds good. So what stall converter should i get. I dont want it to act like a drag car on the street. Thats my main concern i want it to be dirveable everyday. Having good street manners but a good stree/strip set up.

What cam size did you have in mind?

We'll be happy to spend your money for you.

I was gonna get a custom grind but the more i look into it most people are just running a comp cam. i def like a rough idle just nothing too dramatic. i've tried to find some of the cams guys are running here on the forum with no luck. One i have seen in a lot of gto's and ls1 camaros is the Comp 224/230 114lsa. Would this be a good cam for my aplication?? I do have a big farm and use my truck to haul cattle and hay. I need good torque numbers along wtih the hp. Ill def sacrafice some hp for tq.

Sounds like your going to be hauling heavy and often. If that's the case, and I hate to say it... buy a duramax. Then you can have mutiple tunes so you can haul your cattle trailer around, then unhooking and turn a knob and unleash the beast! You said your willing to sacrifice HP for tq. How about 900 ftlbs with a stock Turbo and drive train? I think you will spend alot of time worried trying to tow heavy loads on hot days with the Turbo gasser. I'm no F I expert tho either.
