Old people....
max bhp on stock internals?

450whp is minimal in cost because you can still do it on an upgraded ct26...once you go with non-bolt on t4 turbos, the game changes
"the Z06 is only 200lbs lighter"
Its actually closer to 500 pounds lighter. 3100 vs 3600.
I have been runnning mid 400'srwhp for a while, probably closer to 500rwhp now with no issues on stock internals. If I had to rebuild, I would definantly go with some forged pistons. I would also probably install eagle rods and rod bolts too although I don't know if I would ever need them.
With my new setup, I should be pushing 550rwhp easily this spring. I don't plan on any engine rebuilds so we will see how it takes it. I'm betting it will handle it with ease.

What exactually is the difference between a 7mge and 7mgte motors? Some just recently told me it was only the forged pistons...
7m-gte does not have forged pistons stock. It has a lower CR, and piston squirters. 7m also has oil feed and return lines for a turbo

So what your saying is, they are completely alike(minus the CR and piston squirters), so turboing a 7mge is easier than I expected? Interesting...
Exactly. The folks who drop in turbos on top of a GE usually just snag a wiring harness from the GTE, new coils / igniter / CPS / ECU / etc... and bolt everything on.clueless said:

well you have to figure the mods and how much they'll cost... and upgraded ct is going to run cheap $500, then you'll need injectors $250(used), some sort device that fools your ecu that your getting more air (lex afm, maft ($250 used)), then you'll need a mbc which could range anywhere from 10-35bux and then after you blow thta ct at 450 you'll need a new turbo... it's possible on a low budget but if your going to do it, do it right... I mean some people have had their ct's at that hp and had them last... I just know with my experiece with those ct's is that they are junk... and that could be that I just got some junk turbo's but who knows... I've got that to4e now:evil2: :biglaugh: :evil2:
EDIT: I forgot exhaust... you'll need exhaust to hit that 450hp... and probably an intake... hardpipes wouldn't hurt... thats just more money... it's a pricey thing to mod a car... I know b\c I caught the mod bug...lol

when you say "snag a wiring harness from the gte" what wiring harness do you mean? cut it? or pull it out? Sorry if I'm confused, I have a friend down in Texas getting me stuff cheap from a yard.
The ECU and engine side wiring harness. NO CUTTING.
I don't know of a writeup offhand, I do know that the doc's site has a parts list... dig through http://www.4cefed.com to find it.

...the friend of mine down in tx that doing the shopping for me said he's not really interested in pulling all this out...plus I don't know what's all involved as far the the harness goes(not sure if the above link includeds what you call ecu and engine side wiring harness)...
