Wondering if this has been done in a reasonable way to not 1) have a ton of extra weight forward of the front wheels and 2) have the turbos facing forward. Been looking at pictures for a long time and have a couple ideas that may not work: turbos back behind the K member by cylinders 5&7 and 6&8, next to the steering pump and tensioner, low down by the alternator and where the stock a/c unit would be, etc. I need the hive minds collective wisdom on this one.

Turbos are TB0348's and will be using piping of 2" for feeding the turbine and 1.75 (might go to 2) from the compressor to FMIC and 2.5 from FMIC to tb. The downpipes will likely be 2.5 or 2.75.

 

Its compact but seen similar. Aps twin kits on 4th gens or vettes. If you can go 2" to intercooler, 2.5-3" out to tb.

It will make good power

 

I dont think the turbos will fit there. Thats the biggest problem with that idea.

 

Thats where you said you wanted them right? 6&8 5&7?

Thats where I would like them bu tin the bold is the caveat

 

My entire goal is minimizing impact on CG

 

looks like control arm mounting point gets in the way of the ideal mounting. Looks like the APS style mounting will not work.

 

You already upset CG over stock sbc with the ls1 assuming you have ls1 with alumium block and heads. Weight different therecombined with composite intake manifold vs sbc cast alum, changes things. Adding two small turbos up higher in normal spots for turbos isnt goin to change too much

Those are small light turbos

 

I dont want to be greedy about it but I would like to get to the best feasible spot. Right now an option is putting them about the height of the LSx steering pump.
