Re: ls turbo build
 

Got the ronfrancis wiring all installed and everything works except for the dome light when i open the doors:metal: I also got the fuel lines finished, just need to buy a couple gallons of gas and cycle the fuel thru the filter to make sure everything is clean.... Then i'll plug the oil feed and return so i can put some oil in it and crank it to lubricate the engine.... next thing is ordering my ac system and installing radiator and mounting ecu and running the holley hp wiring.... slowly getting there... I would upload pics but for some reason all my file types are to large even after i shrink them...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Trying to post pics. Mounting ecu in center console.

Trying to figure out how to mount intercooler. Looks like I will have to modify inner grill in order for ac condensor to fit..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Hey, sorry to hear about your dad and Mom. The engine bay looks great. Keep the updates coming.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Thanks.... Things have been pretty tough around here for us.... This truck is all i have that dad and i worked on together, and it kind of calms my spirit when i work on it....:(

Re: ls turbo build
 

awesome build.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Just an FYI(not bashing your setup bc it works too) but a 4150 style TB and an Extreme Velocity Carb Hat will get you some better numbers. I am going to go that route but with a Super Victor.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Thanks... I've checked into various ways of doing the intake and tb. And on the turbo forums and yellowbullet everyone with turbo setups that i've been talking too have said the way i have it is the better way. Just need a spacer to get the air to transistion better in the runners.. Plus there is a truck here in oklahoma making around 1200 to the wheels with an elbow and spacer.. It's on street outlaws... Personally i don't know.. But this was a pretty cheap set up that i bought used...

Re: ls turbo build
 

I've heard it the other way and I have also heard of the spacer to help staighten the air out as well. I can't remember the company but they make some damn good elbows, when I find them I will give you the link. I can't decide on what intake I want to run it's either the ProFlo or Super Victor/4150tb. I'm probably gonna stick with the truck intake until I upgrade or hurt the motor. I can't wait to see results, I have been itching to work on mine but I have only been here in Japan for 5 months and I have another 2 1/2 years to go. FML

Re: ls turbo build
 

6061.com is the site. Supposed to be the best flowing elbow. BTW I wouldn't have passed up that deal either. How did you route your fuel lines? is your regulator before or after your fuel rails?

Re: ls turbo build
 

After the fuel rails.. Ill get some pics. up later... I was also going to go with the proflo intake mainly because it looks bad a--. The only problem i had with the fuel rail plumbing is one of the sweeping 90 deg. elbows was going to interfere with the back of the alternator. SO i changed it to 90deg. elbows to shorten them up.. Have truck acc...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Thanks for the replies. Keep us updated bc I have to live vicariously through other peoples trucks right now.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Any updates?

Re: ls turbo build
 

not alot.... new baby and still dealing with my dads stuff which is 280 miles away... I did buy a ac compressor bracket. Looking for some c6 exhaust manifolds. Then im buying a complete new vintage air system next... Everything i have left is very expensive...

Re: ls turbo build
 

I have a BRAND NEW pair of C6 exhaust manifolds off a LS3 crate engine, never used. I even have a pair of the flanges from the converter side....

Re: ls turbo build
 

How it been going? I ended up selling my 88mm and getting a s475.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Which 475 did you get? Cast or billet?

Re: ls turbo build
 

I got the cast one for my truck
1.1 ar T6 housing 83mm wheel

Re: ls turbo build
 

Cool build. Just got my LQ4/4L80e last week. Debating now on H/C/I or cam and turbo. Goal is less power than yours is going to be. Can't wait to see the results.

Re: ls turbo build
 

What kind of Hydroboost set up is that you are running? Where can I get one and how much was it Sir?

Re: ls turbo build
 

The hydraboost is by hydratech. It was $783...

Thanks for all the complements, things are just kind of slow right now....

Re: ls turbo build
 

what exactly did you order from hydratech? not sure which one to choose because they dont list one for our trucks...thanks

Re: ls turbo build
 

Started back on the ol truck again... mounted the tranny cooler behind the cab under the bed and installed an electric fan... just ordered vintage air from a vendor on here called Laid Back Recreations...ill post some install pictures as soon as I start on it which will be in a couple weeks..Then ill take it in to have the hot and cold side of the turbo done....

Re: ls turbo build
 

Looks like the exhaust manifold on the passenger side will not work with this ac bracket... will any other manifolds work?

Re: ls turbo build
 

maybe run another passenger side manifold and point it down?
or corvette style center exit manifold?

Re: ls turbo build
 

What manifolds have you tried? I have also seen where guys cut the stock flange off and weld a different type connector or just weld a short piece of pipe and then you can use clamp style connections.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Look at Wasted Incomes blazer thread. I think he did a similar setup to yours.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=529064&page=5

Re: ls turbo build
 

Pretty sure Wasted used a Vette manifold (ZOMGVETTEPARTS!!!) on the passenger side with a vband flange welded on.

Sorry Wasted but couldn't resist using the ZOMGVETTEPARTS!!! from your build thread!

Re: ls turbo build
 

thanks fellas... ill check out the vette manifold... tried some f-body manifolds and they would not work either...

Re: ls turbo build
 

what about THESE

Re: ls turbo build
 

doesn't look like i can weld v-bands on those...

Re: ls turbo build
 

You can thank me later.
C6 manifolds.

Re: ls turbo build
 

haha, I busted out laughing at my desk. :lol:

Re: ls turbo build
 

thank you sir....,what's the threaded nipple on the manifold for?

Re: ls turbo build
 

I knew I had seen this done somewhere.

Re: ls turbo build
 

EGTs?

Re: ls turbo build
 

I did the same thing at work. I was reading your build thread got to that and was almost in tears. My guys were looking at me like "something is wrong with him"!

69tk they are for thermo-couplers I'm pretty sure.
