Turbo photos

No, I dont have any, I am looking for some. I know there are a few in house turbo setups on F-bodies running around. I would even entertain LS1 photos. Just want to see some of the things you guys have done.

Q, I know mine's not an F-bod turbo setup, but if you want to take a look at it so you can see how things plum together, etc, then come on down.

Also check with Pat (squirrel kid) he has pics of his setup I'm sure.

Heres a custom set up we built on my ls1. Its a little differant than most of the other systems your gonna see.

theres tons of pics of custom fabricated piping and intercoolers and such on my site

hope this helps

Thanks Scott

No one else wants to show off thier setup? :confused:

Not quite what I was looking for, but cool none the less. Thanks

Those are a tad old though...probably June or July. Don't have anything newer. :(

Very cool, couple questions. Where did you move the accessories to, and do you have any shots of the lower engine bay area?

Scott, are you doing all that fabrication in house or do you send it out? I may be interested in a set of those Kirkey brackets for a 4th gen if they can be fabbed without the car in your posession.

some pics... haven't updated in quite a while. Kept stock accessories, but deleted the AC.

Thanks Matt, I have been bugging him for some of those. He sent me ONE :rolleyes: :)

See signature ;)
What did you do with the powersteering? For that matter, what did either of you do with it? I see the alternator down low in the driver side, but where did you put everything else? Or is it gone?

Where did you move the accessories to,
Hmm, to the floor in my garage. :lol: I'm running a Strange master cylinder (no power brakes), Madman manual rack (no power steering) and the AC & heater have been completely removed. I did relocate the alternator to the bottom of the motor though.
do you have any shots of the lower engine bay area?
I don't think I do. I can get some this week though. It's pretty straightforward though. Downpipes exit before the front tires, wastegate pipes run to the firewall..that's about it. ;)

Birdie..

Yeah we do those in house. If you drop off the seats I can use my car for the fitting. Im actually about to make a set for my firebird anyway so I can just bang out two sets at the same time. Might be better to have your car around though while we fab them. Just to make sure that the fitment is good for your cage and that the seats get positioned properly. We build them specifically for the driver so keep that in mind.

give me a ring when your ready and we can talk more about...

The only thing I lost doing my project was the A/C which I didnt use much anyway. P/S and Alt are mounted down below

Have photos of said locations? I would really be intersted in seeing them

yeah check my signature that says twinturbo...if You look you can kind of see them.

I can kinda see the PS pump, but how did you attach it is my question. It obvious you didnt use the mount bracket from GM. Care to elaborate? Please :)

I believe the pump is off a 90's Grand Prix. Probably had to fab up some spacers to get the belt lined up properly I would imagine. You can't use the stock LT1 pump because it is spun counter-clockwise, but our cranks spin clockwise.

Theres something I didnt think of. Using a GP pump, good info there. Thank you :)

I personally like the madman manual rack and low alternater mount which would allow the removal of the accessory bracket. But thats just me!!

:eek: That is a real clean setup!!! Did you makes those headers from your head or did you find plans somewhere? I'm very impressed your setup. What kinda of clamps do you use in that setup to hold the piece together without leakage?

And do you have tuning problems with the MAF before the blow-off valve? It would seem to me that the MAF would read too high when the blow-off valve is open.

Y2KHAWK!!!!

What kind of power are yall making (or going to make) with that log style header.

I love the simplicy of that setup, an I've heard that you're loosing hp by the log style, but I like that setup that you have. I could easily duplicate this instead of the spegetti header wrap that I've thought of.

Thanks

Jordon Musser came up with that Turbo setup, there are V-band clamps all the way around and the turbo is a 4 bolt. Yes there are issues with the MAF before the BOV, the BOV isnt hooked up right now, I need to get a FAST system and run speed density to make it work right that way.

Thanks
Patrick

I don't understand why everyone always says that a post MAF BOV will not work. I've run one like that with no problems. Obviously Jordan ran it like this, he had the stock PCM as far as I know (he was using the MAF wasn't he?) Everyone always thinks there is going to be all this unmetered air making you run rich all the time, but look at the times when the BOV lifts, its usually when you off the gas and shifting. I'm just saying it can be done, and work.

im going with that same kind of setup...how is the manual rack?hard to steer?

My bypass valve has a vacuum line actuating it. In other words, it stays open as long as there is vacuum in the intake, i.e. at cruise also.

SLEEPERZ28.....

You have log style headers also, right?

I couldn't really see with the pics. I saw one pipe, but I couldn't tell if there were 3 more seperate pipes under that one, or was it a log style..

If you're making that kind of power with a log style headers, then I'm sold on them.

Thanks

He's not running a log style header.

Bypass isn't the same as a BOV, and you run a blower. I'm sure if you own a blower you are familar with its operation. We are/were talking BOV's here.

My little project. :)

I thought Jordan had a FAST system.

I thought Jordan had a FAST system.

I thought he was one of the guys that was playing around with the Pro-M MAF? he wouldn't use FAST for that. I obviously don't know him personally, and am just going off info that I read in the forums, but his turbo kit clearly has a MAF, weather or not he started with FAST and switched back to the stock PCM or vice-versa I am not sure.

i did NOT run a MAF on my turbo setup- although I wish I had for drivability reasons.

It shouldnt be 2 hard to steer with a manual rack if you have small tires up front. My car is a daily so I still wanted a big tire up front. Yeah I used a pump from a GP.

No my headers are not a log header. They are tubular and setup like the diesel engines. I have a tangenal housing. (the turbine housing is split in half so exhaust gas can hit the turbine wheel at 2 different directions.) Thus, my headers are setup to hit the turbine wheel an equal number of times on each angle. The hole idea behind it is to make the turbo spool faster.

ok.

Thanks for the info.
