We can only hope his reply is "All of it!". Hahaha!

Re: ls turbo build
 

He should meet his 800whp goal at about 18psi

On the street with pump gas around 10-12 lbs is what I'm thinking...track on e85 I'm not sure yet?:)

Re: ls turbo build
 

Anyone have any coating recommendations here In Oklahoma? Need to either coat all the hotside or wrap....depends on costs.. may leave the headers alone

Re: ls turbo build
 

Looking good. I like the aluminum downpipe. Glad I did mine that way too.

Re: ls turbo build
 

What's the reason for doing aluminum versus mild/stainless steel on the downpipe?

Re: ls turbo build
 

Who is this guy?:hi2:

Re: ls turbo build
 

Save a little bit on weight...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Looks good.
I'd run the DP further back or out the side, you're going to hate the drone.
What heads are on the motor?
FWIW, mine made ~650 on 8#.

Re: ls turbo build
 

It has a little bit of an angle facing down and out... if it's to loud I'll put a muffler on it...has 706 heads that have been worked.. kind of went overboard on everything for a bigger and better 427 ls for later.. here's a few picts with most of the ac stuff done..I'm getting close..still need some new valve covers, wires and a few small things..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Had to move dryer because of inner cooler.. but everything fits very nice...

Re: ls turbo build
 

It's actually significantly lighter than a stainless downpipe / exhaust...and it's just badazz.

Oh, herro round eye. ;)

Re: ls turbo build
 

Nice progress hadn't seen this build in a while by any chance do you have any close up piks how u tied in the hotside pipes to the turbo trying to get ideas for mine similar to yours I like the way this one turned out cause both banks look pretty close in length I've seen some with the drivers side all the way to the passenger then the pass just with a 90 to the turbo and like the way this one turned out keep up the good work

Re: ls turbo build
 

Thanks..I'll get some better pics when I pull the turbo off to wrap the hotside..

Re: ls turbo build
 

What s475 did u go with?

Re: ls turbo build
 

69trk that is a nice looking truck. Just seen you live in bridgecreek I also live in bridgecreek. I'm building a twin turbo 70 swb now. But have a long way to go. Do you ever take it to the car shows in tri city when they have them?

Re: ls turbo build
 

I went with the 1.32 ar Bws476 76mm

Re: ls turbo build
 

Small world.. I have not taken the truck anywhere in about 6 years..but plan on it this year.. I need to come check out your truck..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Ok, just curious I'm building similar with 1.1 ar

Re: ls turbo build
 

Very nice progress on the engine. Looking forward to hearing this puppy this year....hopefully.... :)

Re: ls turbo build
 

Nothing to much to see yet but when i get something to look at i will let you know. Haha. I dropped the motor and transmission in for fitment and set the cab back on it so I can figure out where to mount the computer. Got the wiring harness all broken apart to build my own.. once that gets done then the frame goes for sand blasting and powered coating. Got rust to fix on the cab . I like the way your truck looks tho. .

Re: ls turbo build
 

Wrapped the down pipe and some of the hotside...also finished all the ac stuff....need valve covers, wires, turbo blanket, finish up the plumbing on the wastegates and 10an drain for the turbo..

Re: ls turbo build
 

Looks good. Nice clean work. Can't wait to get to that stage..
