is a twin turbo kit i found, if it was setup for the lt1, what would i need for the engine to handle it? will it really make 1200hp?
thanks

 

That will not fit in an LT1 car.

 

that guy creates his own kits, if he can make one for the lt1, you think it would be capable of 1200hp? what would i have to do to make the camaro handle this power

 

My god, I bet plug access is a nightmear on that setup!

From a quick glance, inner fender clearance might be an issue, you would HAVE to go !A/C (no biggie), and would HAVE to relocate the alternator and remove the stock bracket.

 

yup...and about 15k worth of work to make it work..and stay working. a single t-76 is costing me about 20k(im making sure im doing everything right..to make it last) ..this **** is expensive

 

The engine: All forged rotating assembly & high end components, easily $20K with parts & labor (with the turbo/IC setup)

The car: A larger engine bay! Or, to add to the information above you could add/eliminate/reroute/modify the following items:
Inner fenders
Hood
Alternator
AC
Water (heater) hoses
Misc. wiring
Dual oil feed
Dual oil drain

The good news is that you could keep the stock cooling setup & turbo access would be easy. Chances are you might fry something close by if the turbine side got too close or too hot. That setup is putting alot more heat (which rises) at the top of an already cramped engine bay.

IMHO, you'd be better off with a single PTK type of kit.

Keep in mind the price does NOT include the turbo itself.

 

why is it so much for ****ty tubes? is there any whole kit for around 4k thats like twin or single turbo that makes good hp?

 

I should have my twin turbo car on the dyno in the next couple of weeks (finally)and we are looking to have around 1400FWHP. With that kind of horsepower you definately want the engine built well with all the best parts.

 

Sounds like STS is right up your alley.

 

At the risk of starting a turbocharged flame battle , there is always STS. They mount a single turbo in place of the LT1 muffler, draw air from the driver side underside & exhaust it on the passenger side. The turbo hooks into your existing pipe/catback & then a tube runs forward to your motor. There is an electric oil pump to return oil from the turbo to your motor. It has been reported this system can be installed in like 4-6 hours.

Sells for about $3795 last time I checked, and this includes everything you need for a basic install. There are some vendors here (search) that will sell for less than that, I know Tbyrne just posted about this topic in this forum. You can add methanol for higher boost or run an IC. The main argument here is that the PTK style makes/can make more power than the STS, which is less costly and easier to install.

In my case, I got rid of a P600B Procharger due to fitment issues & overheating and like the design of the STS enough to try & duplicate it a little bit at a time (I can't spring the $4K at once and already have a FMIC installed from the Procharger setup).

Also, I think the PTK price includes an IC? I think just the piping is like $1500. I have not researched the PTK kit like I have the STS, so I'm sure someone will jump in & offer better info on the PTK.

 

That is any oxymoron my friend. STS attempted to create the link between low cost and a turbo setup but the kit is nothing close to the functionality of a conventional turbo kit like the PTK... you get what you pay for.

 

what if i got that kit, can i only setup 1 turbo to it? does anyone have a link of good turbos that would make like 700-900hp? without MAJOR engine changes that will cost too much
thanks

 

or is the GT-42 74T or any of them less good enough to not make major upgrades on this page:
