Starting turbo G-body research...

[mjdwyer23]

Hey Folks-
I am no stranger to turbos (grand national guy at heart), but I am considering swapping a turbo 6 liter into a g-body and am starting to do my reading. The initial plan is to use an LQ4/4L80E (or possibly a T56) and a single turbo with either a log type PS manifold and conventional crossover or a crossover in the front.

What supporting mods need to be done to the LQ4 for a mild turbo setup?

My goal is to have a fun, different cruiser that can rip off 11.0's at the track if necessary. Suspension mods will be full HR rear package with C5 brake conversion all around and SC&C AFX Stage 3 kit up front. I'm excited about the prospect of the LS motor because of the aftermarket support and because of communities like this one.

I look forward to reading and learning in the next few months!

Thanks,

MD

I know hedman says they are coming out with a swap kit. They mentioned it at sema '08 if that helps any

Yep I've read Grr's thread about a million times! I shot you a PM over on tb.com a few days ago. Should be fun!

Muscle rods is the company with the swap kit for the G-body. The kit uses Hedman.
