Planning on ordering peakboost gt 30r kit.. I have rbc, 880cc injecters, k pro and 3' cat back.. i know i need to bring my compression down.. But i have a few questions to be answered tho.. ( only planning on running 16 psi at hi)

1) What rods should i order for only about 450 hp?

2) Will i need an fuel return line for this set up?

3) And is there anything else that might be need to run this set up??

Thanks in adv..

it will take more than 16psi to reach 450whp with a gt30 with low compression

eagle rods can handle that power goal, but if you ever look to do more power i would go with Brian Crower pro-series rods or Manley turbo tuff rods:

no that power can be possible, it might be harder to reach on pump, but def possible on E85. A RBC would definately help reach that goal on pump.

well beyond 400whp you should really do a walbro, new feed line, and return with a FPR...other than that you should be golden

sounds like I have a similar setup to you as well except I am on a stock motor. I am only partially tuned running 400whp & 280ft/lbs @15psi with my peakboost kit, gt3076, complete fuel system, cc stage 4 clutch, 3" exhaust, innovative motor mounts, gm 3bar map sensor, gm boost control solenoid but I will be swapping out for the hondata solenoid soon though (the GM solenoid is normally open, the one from hondata is normally closed). The thing about a solenoid being open is if the solenoid goes bad you can't bring down your boost. If it was normally closed then you would basically run off the wastegate if the solenoid goes bad.

im going to be running 20psi daily after my dyno tune, right now im at 18psi and it hasn't knocked yet so 18-20 is safe for low compression.

the gt30 starts to really take off at about 4500 rpm :vtec: and the sound of a ball bearing turbo spooling is sick :giggity:
