I have been doing my home work and have been reading and searching for what the pluses or minuses are with the BB turbos. I like the idea of a water cooled unit but are they tried, tested, and true?
Does it make much difference?
The engine is fairly tame mild cam, standard heads, ported intake, 70mm TB, new 60lb injectors and Turbo Tweak chip, new 255 fuel pump, and hot wire kit, Hooker Super Comps, ESP front mount inter cooler, new plugs, wires, coil packs, tps enhancer, 160 stat, 9-10" convertor suppossed to be 3k+ but feels tighter, line lock, Trans Go shift kit and billet servo.
I don't know the current turbo size but the seals are shot. I don't get much play in the shaft up or side to side. But it is sucking oil and fouling plugs ect. All cylinders comp is OK.
Sure low 11s would be nice after a roller cam upgrade and some valve and port work maybe even Champions.
Could it run high 11s with what I have and a 61mm turbo or should I try a smaller size?
It may only hit the track once or twice by me. I want to smoke my friends hopped up n/a LS1 Camaro.
Also where do you place your trust when spending 1K$ and then some?
Jack at Cotton's has been very helpful and John at ESP too. Talked to Mike at Fullthrottleperformance as well. May consider the BB Gt6131e.
Thanks,
