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
Got the ronfrancis wiring all installed and everything works except for the dome light when i open the doors 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 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
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...
