I wish i could take all the credit for this but i cant, a local high performance shop is helping me out. Me doing all this would take over a year with my busy schedule, they have had this for 2 months now and itll be done in about two weeks pm sent
No pics but the car is basically done. All im waiting on is a hobbs switch to activate my 2nd fuel pump on and 3bar map sensor for my 2 step setup. Then itll be on the dyno.....its always the little things that hold you back
Yea, theyre the stock truck manifolds flipped around backwards with the stock flanges cut off and v-band flanges welded to them. Everything disassembles real fast and easy
Nice project I looks right at home under the hood. What kinda power do you think its going to make and how many psi of boost? Is it a stock bottom end? I am thinking about doing a LS1 350 with twin turbos. I was going to go with a buick 455 but the cost to get the power I would like is to much with the BB.
Were going to run right at 7-8 psi, we have 3 waste gate springs and we will run whichever one will get us closest to that psi. Were shooting for around 500 rwhp, but no real goal, just what the 7 psi makes is where we will stay. And the tuning is being done a a dyno dynamics dyno (known as the heart breaker) because it reads so low. Its basically a stock bottom end. Only upgrades were arp rod bolts, ls2 timing chain, and hardened push rods...rest is stock for now:Brow: . Also, unless your just stuck on twins, go single. You can make just the same amount of power and cost you much less to do. And i dont know what your engine bay is like compared to mine but mine would be almost impossible to do a twin setup because of the drivers side.
You can't beat 40 years of R&D and thousands of engineering man hours that the new LS motors have over the '60s GM motors.
AAAAHHH!!!! Its always the lil stuff that gets you, im still waiting on a hobb's switch coming from Cali...its the only thing holding my car from getting tuned and finished up
Very nice build i have so many questions on this build i currently have 2 motors and un decided which to use. You said truck manifolds what years. and they welded the ends .... how big of pipe running up to the turbo ....what size down pipe after the turbo ..... di you buy the motor mounts or make them
