That turbo is a friggin MONSTER! my buddy has the same turbo getting ready to instal on an Ls1......you should definately fly,if you can get it to boost early.

 

Wow awesome looking setup and car...I guess there is another alternative for me move the rad WAY forward lol. IM also doing a T6 turbo in my Iroc.

You should post your build on theturboforums.com!

Here is my progress on CamaroZ28.com since its picture friendly if ur not registerd

Are those the ebay headers?

No meth injection? Figuring the E85 will cool the air well enough? Are you going to monitor IAT's?

Very nice, this is a setup I have been wondering about.

 

For safety's sake, keep your head away from that turbo inlet!! lol

That thing's HUGE! Should outright fly if you can keep it on the road. Nice!

 

I will not be using meth injection, the E-85 should have a good cool charge, i will be watching IAT,EGT, will be using a data logger also. yes thay are the e-bay headers modified.

 

I'm planning a similar build! i'm using your old shorties *well one of them* to do mine. I was planning on that turbo too but on a T4 flange. Not sure if its gonna fit under the hood with the BBS manifold, that thing looks much bigger than i thought it would be

 

When do you think you'll have it up and running?

 

yeah soon as the spring hits....my camaro is gettin hit with a s475 1.32ar along with jgs bov and wgate....im gonna try not to move my rad, and i see your not runnin a intercooler....even with the cooler injection....i still would if i was you....just a though....nice welds tho....who did those you...

 

another set of ebay headers with the flanges cut/swapped for v-bands. - Looking good man. A bit suprised you fit that down under that hood.

 

The driver header did not clear steering shaft had to cut rear header tube #7 cyl. and turn tube 180 and re tig fits very nice now.

 

I have a S400 T4 on the BBS manifold. I'm running a 3" charge pipe and a 4" Downpipe. I did have to cut a small section of the under hood brace.


4" Downpipe

Looks good Can you get that pass. valve cover off with the turbo their?

 

good deal, that looks fantastic! what do you guys do about a rad overfill bottle?

 

just get aftermarket overfill bottle you can mount it anywhere youl like.

 

you might want to move the msd box inside the car...............supposed to keep them away from extreme heat.looks good tho

 

I'm running a overflow btl from a older supra. If you look just right of the hood latch you can see the top of the btl. No way to get valve cover off with turbo on. But to get the valve cover off really isn't very hard at all since everything is V-band clamps, and 4 bolts. I'm in the process of installing a JGS 50R WG.

I am using a 50mm BOV and a 60mm GATE.

 

Hey. that looks AWSOME! let me know how the tuning goes with that. as im also going to try and do a turbo/blow through carb setup and am curious as to how hard they are to tune and what i should do about the distributor weights and such. except im going to do a rear mount turbo because i dont need the extra power right away, just from 4000-6500.

 

STOP IT! THese are awsome setups. I keep telling myself that I am not going to modify my car anymore, and you guys keep showing me these awsome trubo projects.

If you do not mind me asking. How does that S400 setup run and what are the specs on that S400.
