rpm stage 3

[amerimuscle99]

Can the rpm stage 3 turbo get me into the 10's? I'm doing 60lb injectors , converter, 3" downpipe, have a A2A already , also will have meth injection and a cam. Looking for something bolt on preferably. Trans is built and just did new distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires. Still the stock motor.
Runs great just need to start getting parts together to go 10.99's or faster. I'm located in Colorado.

thanks

What Series RPM stage 3 turbo are you referring to? From my exp. the bolt-on stage 3 journal bearing turbo, I was lucky to get into the high 12's. . .The Stage 3 bolt-on turbos that use the stock DP is about a 50hp gain over stock.

Even if you launched it off of a 1/4 mile deep cliff on the moon? I really doubt it.

Re: rpm stage 3

So right now I have a I.T.S. turbo sitting on my box. journal bearing 66mm. That is what I am going to use for now I guess. Weld on a Turbonetics racegate 42mm along with it and see what happens.

Re: rpm stage 3

The rpm stage 3 isn't the right turbo for 10's. If you are going to go through the effort swapping a cam, you should change the heads as well. It will make it a lot easier to meets your goals.

 

[amerimuscle99]

Re: rpm stage 3

yeah Vortec heads will be in the mix just not yet.

Re: rpm stage 3

I would think the stock ecu is going to also be a big bottle neck for you when you start slapping on a huge turbo. Aftermarket ecu that is completely tunable and a really good wideband o2 is the safest way to go

 

[amerimuscle99]

Re: rpm stage 3

I do have a wideband already wired up.

not sure about that. these are pretty heavy trucks.

The stock ECM is fully tunable if you want to put the time in. it isn't as easy to tune as say the new Holley systems.

Re: rpm stage 3

I understand the tuning aspect but the Holley system is $$. Eventually it will be something I invest in but not until I need to. Or not until things start to get serious.

Re: rpm stage 3

As mentioned already, if throwing a big turbo, meth, and adding air to air to the stock longblock is all that was needed to get to the 10's we'd all be there. Heads, cam, and tuning is a must to reach this goal. RPM stage 3 only adds 100 HP(stock 280 + 100 = not enough). Also, it suggests running a stall, do you have one in your built trans? Looks like a simple HP / 1/4 mile calculator shows 600 HP min to reach 10.92 at 4k#. This did not account for AWD losses.

Re: rpm stage 3

Keep it roughly stock! Enjoy pulling up to the pump and only paying a couple bucks a gallon for fuel. Don't get me wrong there a handful when built but it's very spendy. I got over 25 grand sunk in mine under the hood. Enjoy it for what it is not for what it could be, but to each there own.

 

[amerimuscle99]

Re: rpm stage 3

Oh I understand its not just throwing a turbo, meth, and a2a will get me in the tens. I just wanted to know if the rpm turbo was capable of 10.99's not that that's all I was going to do. I understand what I am going to need to get to my goals, I have done it in LS cars not v6trucks. I am looking at turbo options that are capable of that time so I only have to upgrade one time. It will have all supporting mods.

Re: rpm stage 3

Way too many variables to name one turbo as the do all. Some interesting discussion here though. I really do agree a stock well cared for and tuned up truck running on pump 93 is a smart choice. But for those wanting a project and to get to the 10s, Hit up Phil Long. What turbo did he use and ran 10s on a stock engine. Just a thought. I feel too many dismiss the stock ECU as being handicapped and its capable of doing more than most think. Many take the easier route though and go to a standalone. Options. To each their own and budget.

Re: rpm stage 3

Do you mean the stage 3 turbo kit with the 67mm? I dont see why that turbo wouldnt be good enough for 10s. The turbo is rated for 800+.If you have the right supporting mods, good tires, and a good tune I dont see why you wouldnt be able to do it with that turbo. My friend just went 9.5 second run ever letting off right at the end of the track in his sc300 2jzgte swapped th400 full interior 3500+lbs with the same turbo they offer.

I was just talking about the rpm stage 3 turbo. Not the whole kit that they sell.

O ok yea dont think thats gunna do it.

Re: rpm stage 3

My equation: C16 + 67mm turbo+ diet+ $ + stock motor= eventually boom!

My truck with me in at 3450lbs

Yes, it would have ran the magic 10.99 with a 1.5 60ft but it wouldnt have stayed together! I had to push my stock truck without concern to run the times above! The heads are the bottleneck! Once you get rid of the bottleneck then u need o get rid of the other problem, the stock bottom end!
