Twin turbo LS7 ftl.

The cylinder walls are way too thin for boost. A ridiculously crowded engine bay also accounts for extreme heat and an estimated 3 hours just to reach the spark plugs.

Stroked 6.5L LS3 ftw.

It won't be able to handle for ****, but it will go godly fast in a straight line. Rgonza has some crazy builds, so I'll look for this one also, although I personally find the idea of a GM engine in any RX blasphemous.

some of you guys are so dummmmbbbb.. all you guys do, is make people stop sharing their projects. It doesnt matter wether you like it or not just sit back, relax and let RGonza amaze you with his creations.. Heres a little pic of my car which happens to be another RGonzas baby..
The new turbo setup was all thanks to RGonza...

I totally respect the custom work going into these projects, I'm just not sure if the 8 is the right platform for this kind of swap...

BTW- that engine bay is beyond badass angeljoelv

I'm subscribing, the rest of you dipshits STFU. If it can be done Rgonza can do it. He didn't ask what you children thought about his idea.

7 liters.

even a 3 rotor cant stand up to that based purely off from NA horsepower or pound for pound of boost.

more power, more mods, more fuel efficient, more people who know the engine well enough to help you/repair, more of a supported aftermarket, cheaper...the list goes on.

I'm def. subscribing to this. Keep us posted.

Dipshits, rgonza rules... Btw do you smart guys know how much the ls engine actually weighs since you like shitting on other people's projects. Next time don't look at any other threads, stick to your weak greddy turbo kits and play with your intake and exhaust setups... dumbass' show some respect!
