I would like to see some header pics from TT and single turbo lt1 guys. I'm getting prepared to turn my stroker 383 into a TT setup and would like to see how you guys have fabbed up the headers and other hot parts. I'm especially interested in how you routed the exhaust from the turbo outlet back. I can pretty well picture the headers swept forward, but I'm having a difficult time visualizing the downpipe routing while still being able to change plugs..

Help me out fellas..

Thanks

mine looks something like this.

Jon (RealQuick) was responsible for building it.

 

Holy big picture batman!!!!!!!

 

log kit 1 was Jered's kit (Roadie)

You guys setups are sick! How much does that manifold setup cost you guys?

 

Its free if ya have all the materials laying around and you can weld some pipes together

 

Free, I wish I was as skilled . Im thinking about adding boost to my LT1. Right now I have a 355 it makes good power but I want a little more. How conservative are you guys engines to run the turbos. Like compression and what not?
because I have forged probe pistons .030, 6" scat i beam rods, Scat crank, 2 bolt studded, double roller timing chain conversion but my cr is 11:1 could I run boost or would I have to change a few things first?

 

At 11:1 CR, you would want to stay under 6psi... probaly 4-5psi realisticly. You need to get your compression down. If you are running stock LT1 ported heads, then your combustion chmber is probably ~54-56cc, so a set of AFR heads with 74cc (or is it 72cc). That will help.

 

My engine is an all forged 355, 8.65:1 with competition port trickflow heads flowing 301.x/221.x @ .600 on 2 different benches. I plan to push a T-76 Q trim to it's limit (the .81 a/r turbine housing is probably the bottleneck in my setup).

 

Just give me the word and I'll send ya the .96 to try...

 

Thanks for the pics fellas. This does indeed give me a little better idea of routing. I was thinking about routing like the old GN's, but wasn't sure how well it would work out, hence the twins idea instead of one big single.

Thanks again for the pics so far. Keep em coming

see my car domain site in my sig.

 

You wouldn't happen to have hi res version of the pics on your cardomain site or any other pics of the install would you? It's almost exactly what I'm planning on doing. I'm planning on using a F.A.S.T. ecu though, otherwise VERY similar.

Thanks -

 

your car is amazing.
