Set it & Forget it FI: Does it Exist?

[illtal]

I'm not sure the stock manifolds are really a restriction to be honest. I think most who had valve float had a restrictive exhaust. I have the boost actuated cutouts on mine. I just got done installing my built 6R80 and Circle D convertor. Hope to get it to the track this fall.

I have LTH, so I would need to get something else. either a hellion header or a shorty that we can modify. I actually need the "B turbos" that they now sell because those are rated for 1300 HP but likely not wheel. I may just buy the base kit and then put my own turbos on it.

Do you have the mechanical scavenge pump or the electric?

My kit just showed up for my Wife's 18 and it has the mechanical pump which I prefer.

it's mechanical on the sleeper

I didn't even know they offered an electric pump. Mine is mechanical driven off the crank mandrel.

I think you can option 68mm precision turbos. Some people have also gone with comp oil less turbos.

it's a single stage dry sump pump. some people don't like it and went comp for some reason. having a reliable pump opens up opportunities for other turbos.

Are you a sleeper or a top.
For both did you buy the turbo headers?
For sleeper how is the single stage oil pickup?
I'm looking at this kit too but I would have to upgrade the turbos to make my number.

Sleeper
Stock manifolds
Oil system is great. Never given me any issue, never any smoke from the turbos and they way the belt drive is set up it should last a while before any issues with the belt breaking or anything. It's spins so slow I honestly thought there was an issue at first and figured my turbos would smoke on the first drive but nope all has been good.

I'll probably have to see about getting me some manifolds made....

Ford with the GT500, Chevy with the ZL1, and Dodge with the Hellcat that they put in damn near every model they offer has achieved OEM reliability so it is possible. I’m wondering what aftermarket set up can approach these type mass produced offerings in terms of power, drivability and reliability.

Overdesign and underutilize, not really a concept most ballers on a budget are willing to follow.

Everyone wants to run right to the ragged edge before it fails/breaks.

If you want reliability, build it to withstand 50% more power and torque and heat than you're asking of it.

Hence is the nature of car enthusiasts. Give me 95% please. And then they wonder why shit breaks.
