Turbo LS Low Budget Build Video Documented

Hello my fellow 3rd gen lovers!
I document my projects by video and post them to my YouTube Channel. I just recently realized that I haven't come over here to share with all of you. So here it is. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see a photo of a specific area. I take MANY pics and would flood this site if I posted all of them.


Some of these videos will have info of my other project C10 truck mixed in with them, sorry about that. I try to do updates on them separately now.


This is my '92 Camaro. I will start with a video when it was NA 5.3 powered to introduce the car, what it looks like and all.




This next video goes over the turbo hot side piping as I was making it.

LS 6.0 LQ4 first startup after rebuild on the stand before it went into the car. It also shows the turbo hot side on the motor while running.

This is the most recent video. The motor is in the car and I'm planning out the downpipe.

Mark,
Here is the heater box I bought. From the same guy, but you might find a better deal on a factory metal take off.

Yea, that's one that I was considering, but afraid that I may have to modify it as well. Once I get the piping in there. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks Wayne!

Re: Turbo LS Low Budget Build Video Documented

That t76 will light up really easy with that 6.0..I know how my car is a handful at times when boost turns up. Love the build up on the rearend also.If I lived close by I would be buying one of those from you lol.My lovely 9 bolt is living from pure miracles so far!

Thanks! Yea, I hear it'll spool up quick but then choke up top. These rears have been fun to play with so far. I'm excited to finish it, I've just had other work take priority. I'm looking forward to getting back on it. Hopefully I'll have it in the car before I destroy my 7.5. lol

Re: Turbo LS Low Budget Build Video Documented

What ever happened to your car? Seems like you stopped working on it a few years ago? Did you ever get that 6.0 turbo sorted out? I enjoyed going through your videos but now I am left with a cliff hanger!
