LT1 stroker can i spray it or turbo?

[tupac]

hey guys i need help here i got a 96LT1 motor bore .60 over and i want to know if i can still spray NOS os maybe a turbo or a supercharger are the cylinder walls too thin? or is it ok as long as it has a good bottom end people has told me that cylinder walls are to thin to for any of those above to keep it all motor what you guys think?

First off, unless you're motor has a larger crank (i.e. 3.75" stroker crank as opposed to the 3.48" stock stroke) you're not a stroker with a .060" overbore. But you are at 360ci now, 10ci helps out.

If your pistons, rods & crank are forged, add the juice and/or the boost. Lots of racers go straight for an over bore on the block. Add's more displacement, thus more power.

If you're running stock style oversized pistons, you can run a small shot of nitrous or small amounts of boost. Forged internals are your best friend.

Good luck.

hey redneck383 i have a all forged assembly 5.750 crank for a stroker forged pistons and rods so u think i can still put a turbo or supercharger the walls are not to thin for that can i spray it is it safe ?

I think you ment 3.75" crank...

But if you've got a fully forged bottom end, you can slap on a turbo/supercharger system and run moderate boost. I'd guesstimate at about 9-11lbs.

Or you can use a fair amount of Nitrous by itself... like a 125-175 shot. I'm not well educated on nitrous shots, but Self (fellow member on AF) was running I believe a 200+ shot on a stock bottom end. I'm sure you can safely run a 200 shot.

I wouldn't suggest running both a Forced Induction system and nitrous shot... if you do, use them both in small amounts for the safety of your motor.


Good luck.. have fun.

What's your CR with the new crank and rods? That would help a lot in giving you a answer to your question.

gtstang were you been, havn't seen you around here much. and i like the sig kill count thing.
i would copy but i don't know were i'm at in kills

[tupac]

the compression on the motor is 11 to 1

If you are sure it is an 11:1 You could add an induction kit with moderate boost as indicated by redneck. But what I would say is add some juice to it instead. Less maintenance and easier on you motor since it is only used when wanted!

I've been around here and there. Haven't had much time for AF lately. Look in my gallery and you can see why LoL. Love the Silver Vette in your Sig Pic.

11:1 Compression street motor on pump gas..... I think you should just leave the FI or Nitrous idea at that an idea.

I would agree. To run forced induction, you need to have lower compression. 11:1 is high (our race car just has 12.5:1 pistons), and I'd say you'll cause a meltdown with NOS, turbo, or s/c.

[xAUTOxRACERx]

Exactly my point your compression is a little high for induction.

[chevytrucks92]

Yeap. NOS would be his best bet, but still yet, if he gets trigger happy on the button/switch then he's gonna blow that motor sky high.

Best thing to do I think would be just keep it NA. Change the cam out, do a little work on the heads and then he won't need the "kick in the ass" NOS gives ya.

these cars love nitrous.... they hate fi but love nitrous. i have seen people run 100 - 150 hp shots on all stock internals and 160k + milage no problems accept for the rear end(DR's grip too much) id say go for 100 shot. ill get some info for you when iget the chance
