what motor would you use

[1quick]

i know its a stupid thread but i want the thoughts of people that know these motors
i have an l26 that has held up good for close to 2k miles on 15+ lbs of boost

and here are the options
1. keep it and chance turning up the boost
2. pull the 159k mile l67 from my gtp (pending compresion test)swap everything over and put the l26 in the gtp
3. buy a lower mile l67 the least expencive one i could find local was $550 with 85k on it

keep in mind i dont mind pulling the motor but id like whatever option to last the whole season

Run the L26 till it breaks then buy a low mile L67 if you plan to keep the car

 

[boostedguy05]

swap back to an m90 and run forever


ill trade you to help so you dont have to search for stuff.

maybe i should add that i plan to beef up the fuel system the right way and run in the range of 24lbs of boost on what ever motor is in there this summer

i would put a carburated 305 in there if it would fit, and spin it to 7k all day long it would be the fastest grand prix in the world

24 are you gunning for zzp

nope lol just want to have some fun with it medium boost is boring now

 

[boostedguy05]

medium at 24 what is high on these motors.

 

[1quick]

medium is 15-17 that i run on the street all the time, 24 is what i would call high on a stock bottom end thats what i want lol

 

[boostedguy05]

so what you are saying is you wanna get high :naughty:

 

[Wild White Pony]

Leave the 15-17psi for your street use, then spray that thing like a pressure washer when you hit the track.:nos:

We can then determine if you should of swapped the motor out.

 

[SleeperLS]

I agree with running the current set-up till it breaks. If you really want to go through all the work you could swap motors, but you still run the risk of your gtp motor taking a shit as well. If you get a replacement block down the road you might be able to pick up a l32. I have had pretty good luck so far with my l67, but I feel like the l32 would hold up better to more boost if I remember right.

yup...run til it breaks then do something.

1 and 3 getting built on the side

its one reason i keep several engines..... as spares

only 24psi

I would buy the l67 with 85k and swap that in. U already blew up one l26 and pretty much know the limits. It wouldn't cost too much to swap it in, plus u would feel a bit safer turning up the boost on it. Sell your l26 that is in the car for some profit. Imo, that's what I would do.

 

[slowchevy]

i'd use a gallo 24

im not really sure what the limits are the waste gate didnt open the day i blew up the l26 but my boost gauge also turned out to be broke so i dont know how much boost it took to do that, it just leaned out from the junk ass fuel pump not being enough to keep up

Ohhh ok. I just remember u saying something about the car spiking to 25psi or something like that. And then boom.
My answer still stays the same though.
