When boosting alloytecs what needs to be reinforced

[Immortality]

In all seriousness your not going to do this as getting 1000hp out of an LS is expensive and difficult enough.

If you truely wanted to get a thousand horsepower out of an Alloytec (rather than just wishful thinking) you’d be made of money and you’d be finding an engine builder and writing them a blank cheque, because that is what it would take.

Unless the bar your aiming for is one dyno run before it explodes you’ll be up for a billet block for the build which will be at least five figures before you even add any other parts required.

Why a billet block? A stock ecotec block has gone to 1000rwhp and the alloytec arguably has a better bottom end.

I believe it's already been done and then some but I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

Making power with boost is completely different than N/A which is the route most go with the Alloytec engines (cams and intakes etc).

One. And old mate has dedicated every waking hour to it. (That word was “waking” not the other similar word)

If you want a thousand and you have given up drugs to free up the budget, the Alloytec is the very last engine you’d do it with. Geeze do a Honda swap. It’s cheaper and easier. Sound a better too.

This is something that will take up all of the school holidays.

Iron beats alloy when it comes to boost. I know a stock ecotec bottom end can do 1000hp but I’d be dubious about an Alloytec doing the same. The only reference I can find about a HFV6 doing 1000hp is behind a SAAB and it says that hardly any of the original SAAB remains.

In the future I want to boost my ly7 and I was wondering what needs to be reinforced I want to try and achieve a 1000hp

Easy bro,
Swap the LY for a 2jz and turn the boost up.
You'll be finished before the school holidays are up and won't hurt your house deposit savings too much.

Somebody did a 1000HP Ecotec build, which was featured on Fullboost...

Another guy on YouTube (Corn fed Boost) has also made a high HP Ecotec...

I think both examples needed a new block so it's honestly not worth it...

There are no aftermarket blocks for the ecotec. So 1000rwhp stock block V6 ecotec.

I know there was someone who did a tubro alloytec way back when they first come out, he had a twin turbo ecotec and I think he was running 8's back then and then converted to an alloytec. I believe it was in a 2nd gen Commodore. I'll see if I can find it later.

Not sure if coincidence but today is the first day of school holidays ?

O.P is pretty young (19) and is on his P's (most likely)... The only performance mods he's putting on is an exhaust and cold air intake...
