I am currently building a homemade Front Mount LS1 Turbo project....I am using exhaust manifolds from a 98 Camaro and turning them forward.
Other parts:
Turbonetics T-76
Turbonetics Racegate Wastegate
Turbonetics Godzilla BOV
Large FM intercooler.
60 lb injectors
Walbro 355 Fuel Pump
and many more

here are some progress pics...Still a lot of work to do.

WOW!!! looks like its going to be alot of work! Cant wait to see this when its all done. Good luck

wow nice project you got there. Im interested in seeing the finished product. Im doing something similar

 

How much boost you think that hi comp ls-1 will handle ? Nice project! cant wait for updates.

 

Heres the latest update...All pipes are done and getting heat wrapped at this time. Then it's time to put everything back in, finish up the fuel system, and get this thing tuned....I'm only planning on running about 8 lbs. of boost seeing that the stock LS1's dont like more than 600 HP. I'm hoping to make somewhere right above 500 rwhp.

 

Holy old post Batman...I want more pics and info!

 

I know that this thread is ancient but i also want to do a fm turbo when i swap in my 6.0, and i wanted to see how you liked your setup. Could you have fit the turbo between the engine and radiator if the fans werent in the way? And can the passenger side manifold be flipped without being modified like you did? thanks for any help

 

Yes I loved my setup....but I'm currently in the process of changing it...I could not fit it between the radiator and the motor ....I never tried it without the fans in but it might have possibly fit. I don't recall about the manifolds sorry..
I'm currently in the process of changing my whole setup with a custom core support so it's going in between the motor and radiator this time...

 

I was also planning to use the t76 with my setup at about 10 lbs. How much rwhp are you making with yours up to 10 lbs now? Much lag? Thanks for your time.

 

I was making 538 rwhp on 10lbs but that was only at 4800 RPMS because my fuel pump couldn't keep up. Not much turbo lag since I chose to go with a smaller exhaust housing ( a .81 a/r)...Any other questions let me know

 

Do you recall what the dimensions were on the intercooler? thanks

 

I believe it was 18x30x3.

 

Have any updates on your new setup? I see a turbo in my future! Any pointers?? What kinda pump are you running (fuel). Thanks!!

 

Yes their are updates..I just forgot to post lol....The car is coming together, I will post pictures soon...I changed my fuel system to a sumped system and am running a Magnafuel 4301 pump.

 

Good looking set up, were you able to sneak in any track passes before the cold weather?

 

Any more pics of the dp?
