I would rather have a front mounted turbo. They give the biggest gains. I guess I can just buy a kit from one of the few vendors we have. PTK seems to be the way to go.

I would like to do a custom system, but I am not that skilled in fabricating, nor do I have the means.

Thanks,
Jeff

 

TTi also.

 

I went to TTi site and they didnt have mich support for the LT1 systems. Only a street system and no good pics of it.

I would like to see some pic of your guys homebuilt systems.

Will- how did you get Megasquirt to work with the opti? Fuel management has been one of the biggest fears I have in trying something ridiculous like this.

 

the opti is just being used for the cap and rotor. The megsquirt is triggred off a crank position sensor from an obd II LT1

 

Here are a few kits i have made:

True Header T88 kit:


Log Manifold T76:


Different Log Manifold T76


Cast Manifold T76:


Cast Manifold T67:


TT Headers for a 67 Camaro with T60's:

 

Wow realquick! Thats some primo work there! Some of the talent on this board never ceases to amaze me.

Realquick, of all your turbo systems, which one do you prefer and why? I like the header one myself. I just like the single turbo systems for ease of packaging and I would think would have alot less total cost. And as for turbo placement, in front of the engine seems to be the most popular location. How is it as far as cooling fan and radiator clearance? How is the regular maintenance on them such as spark plugs/ wires/opti/oil ect?

Nice work you guys, I wish I could only be as talented.

Realquick has been honing his skills for a few years now. Nice work. I like the T88 setup, but I'm sure the radiator had to move.

 

Yea, I dig the T88. Mucho power!

Found this one on ebay. Looks like a decent starter system, but I cant quite see the pass side manifold and how the opposite bank feeds the turbo....

That looks very much like a TTI kit. Speaking from personal experience, I would stay away from it.

 

frame-mounted HKS T55R SPL, Blitz Nissan Skyline front-mount, stainless 2.5 inch up-pipe, 3.5 inch downpipe, hot pipes T304 stainless. ABS and A/C delete, relay box relocated.

so what would be the best way to go for a street driven daily driver twins or a single ?? i love the looks of twins but i know alot of turbo supras that go to a big single ? whats the best for the lt1s i was going to get an sts but all u guys got me thinking!!!!!

 

Some very nice custom setups in this thread. If we could just get a company to take the LT1 crowd seriously we would have a lot more fun in the FI section ( ERIC @ Victory build it and we will come (LT1 kit)

 

PTK makes a very nice kit, but I wasn't too happy with waiting for 8+ months to get everything in. There's another thread about my build:

If their service is better now, it is a nice kit for the money. I am also interested to See how Victory's comes out.
