Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
Hell yeah! With a pair of turbos, do people ever run them sequentially? Like one for low end and one for the finish. Or just dump them all in ftw

Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
Where did you get the inter cooler built.?
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
It is from treadstone.

Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
What bracket did you use for the A/C? No clear picture but it looks like the A/C is in the upper right hand corner on a stock bracket.
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
Sanden mini compressor. Custom bracket from Ls brackets.
Have been smoothing the firewall , and doing a larger step notch for the rear. Once things start coming together more, I will post some pics. |

Long overdue build update. I ended up going back and spermmo notching the rear, and adding hills rod and custom inner fender wells. Which in return made me have to re adjust the turbo positions.
I had a buddy that wanted my 70 mm turbos which realistically for the street would be laggy. So I opted to get rid of those and purchase 2 61 mm turbos. I finally finished all of the fuel system and and mounting trans and oil coolers above the intercooler. Bought a fully built 4l80e and 3200 stall from jakes perf. The 6.0 has billet h beam rods, pistons,all balanced ported 317 heads done by our shop, custom btr cam ETC. I hope to have it started atleast in a couple of months. |
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
61's on a 6.0 will be insta-spool!
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
I hope so. It should be a fun street racer, if I can get it to hook up .
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
Cant wait to see this finished
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
i too am in Coweta, I ran my 5.3 on some twin on3 70s, it would start spooling about 4g, then I traded them out for a set of their 61mm turbos, now it spools about 3g, much better. that 6.0 should be spooling those up near the 2500 rpm range.. what exhaust ar did you get?
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
61/65 .82 ar

Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
I'm getting a parts list together for my twin turbo set up . Never done one before so you. So learning as I go. Thank you for the pictures. It is nice.
|
Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build
Thank you. I will probably be selling this truck, or Turbo setup once I am done. On to building something else LOL.

Re: 68 5.3 ls twin turbo build

How much would you ask for the turbo set up? |

Not sure on price. Prob around $5000 with the complete setup,turbo cam, meth injection, and boost controller/ wideband . |

Finally found some time to finish the build, and tune. I have put arpund 2000 miles on this turbo setup, and I am so impressed how it drives like a stock truck off boost, and a total BEAST on !
