Re: ls turbo build
 

Will do. My goal is 500 to the wheels. Really don't want to blow this 6.0 up...they are becoming harder to find...and pricier to boot.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Looking good. Following your progress.

Re: ls turbo build
 

69trk- Do you post on MWSC as well? That pic of your truck in the avatar looks familiar. I had no idea you had all this turbo/ls swap going on! Nice work so far.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Yep, i'm over there....

Re: ls turbo build
 

Got motor and trans installed today.... Went real easy and motor mounts worked perfect!!! So i don't have to cut or lengthen my 3.5" aluminum driveshaft.... Engine slides real easy with these mounts... Now i have to order the steam line kit that uses the fronts and rears and then order my pro flo xt intake and throttle body... But for now i can install my driveshaft, shifter, radiator and hydraboost unit..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Look at all the room in front of the engine... Turbo should be fairly easy:metal:

Re: ls turbo build
 

looks like you could even move the motor back a bit

Re: ls turbo build
 

It looks great! I wouldn't move it at all. Leaves plenty of room to reach around and lots of clearance for that tall intake manifold. That thing is clean!

Re: ls turbo build
 

Haven't posted in a while, just trying to save for the new baby coming in early may. But i did order a ron francis wiring kit that came in today, that should keep me busy for a little while. I cut all the old wiring out of the truck, man what a mess lol....

Re: ls turbo build
 

Heres some picts of the wiring and the shifter. Not sure if im going to like the shifter or not. My helper wanted in the picture also..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Great build so far, keep it up...!

Re: ls turbo build
 

Hey 69 I'm from dfwss and mwsc I starting a turbo build soon. Starting to gather parts. Thanks for sharing the build now part numbers.

Can use pm me a link to those mounts? I have same stands as u and I am going with f body oil pan. Thats the same intake I wanna run can't wait to see some numbers

Re: ls turbo build
 

The upper engine mounts are 355-3-1114g.

And the dirtydingo sliders just say dd-slider... I sent you a pm...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Where u gonna mount turbo?

Re: ls turbo build
 

Not sure yet. I'm moving the ac compressor up towards the top and i need to make sure the headers or a log style manifold will miss the ac compressor...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Have you seen this?

http://www.performancetrucks.net/for...k-kits-514181/

Re: ls turbo build
 

Ive been looking at that, but needs to be a t6 flange. And i think the turbo would be sitting to close or in the way of the ac compressor. Unless i move it to the driverside?

Re: ls turbo build
 

That is intended to work with the AC compressor in the stock location.

That will place the turbo in the exact same spot the AC compressor when using the Kwik Performance/Vintage Air bracket.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I'm gonna mount mine in the middle up front. If camaro guys can surely I can. Gonna run. 76mm for a while with truck manifolds. What size is your turbo?

Re: ls turbo build
 

bw s475 t6 flange. Ill look into a ac bracket that will hold the ac compressor mid mount...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Easier said than done. Have you actually set the turbo in between the engine and radiator? I have. It didn't fit.

Re: ls turbo build
 

no i havent yet. just figured if camaro guys can we should be able too. been kinda worrying about my turbo being so heavy i was wondering how to mount it. my turbo ended up being a 88mm. its a little to big but got it cheap so will try it.

sorry 69trk not trying to hijack. i will be following the build.

Re: ls turbo build

Re: ls turbo build
 

How far back is the engine? Thinking bout sliding mine back as far as possible

Re: ls turbo build
 

Could you make me one of those ac compressor brackets?

Re: ls turbo build
 

I didn't have time to make the setup myself. I got the brackets from a guy on LS1tech that goes by fox12303

It's about 3x the cost of the Kwik setup, but worth it for my application...IMO.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I'm currently building a twin turbo set for my 67 chevy truck.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Installed my wilsons 90mm throttlebody. Had to make a wheel bracket for the throttle cable to work. Installed the starter, alternator and most of the hydraboost unit. Finally received all my guages so I can start back to wiring the truck.

Re: ls turbo build
