a big ole 88mm turbo would just be insane,, 8 psi,, might happen.. see if i can find any good deals..

howmuch are you asking for the intake and are you going to keep that water pump?

Wow that was fast. I seen this motor in the for sale section a day or two ago.

Nice you got a good deal.

just seeing what it would look like,,eye candy... thats a mpt70 with a .68 housing,, i kno way to small,it would choke it up big time.. plan on getting a 76mm or a 88mm if a good deal comes around.. if none then i'll just buy another mpt70 and do twins,, motor will be blowthru carb.. . 12 psi.. guy on truck forums ran 10's with his stock l76 with cam, with a procharger 12 psi i think..

if i do single turbo i'll do the truck setup,keep driver side manifold and make a log type on the passenger type.. real clean look..

thanks ,,and good luck to you too... let me kno how it does..

and no i wont be keeping the vvt..
i would need a .96 housing to make this turbo work,,but it would stil run outa steam.. be instant boost tho..haha.

i seen some dyno numbers from a l76 in a pontaic g8,,same motor as mine just alum version,, 100% stock with twin turbo's 9 psi made 545rwhp. then upgraded fuel system and cam, ran 11 psi made a mind blowing 723rwhp.6xx rwtq.. http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14444

there's another guy on youtube had a ly6 in his 70's model camaro ran twins made around 720 rwhp. e85..https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...cs-inside.html

i found a ht60 which is a holset turbo of a big semi.. already looked it up and stuff.it will support 980hp for a gas motor.. this thing is massive.. also had a ht3b ..ht55,,but the ht60 flows the most..
another guy had one on his 355sbc,,ran in 9's with it..so it looks promising..or buy another mpt70..he wants $300 for ht60,think i'll buy it any way and do twin compound on our ole 12v cummins..

Did you have to do any Mod to the tranny tunnel ? am putting a 4L60E in the same car tonight. Did you drop the motor and tranny in one shot or you split them?

thx Lenny

Cool build! I was thinking about going with that same motor/tranny combo. What kind of power you looking for out of it NA??

chevellepowered

iTrader: (37)

well there a kit for vvt,that makes 480hp.. but its exspensive.. if i stay n/a i would be getting rid of the "vvt" and break 500 mark.. and blah blah about keeping the vvt,, if you want it then you keep it,""for all those vvt freaks""..,dont tell me to keep it,, some people have def opionions on vvt..i dont care about it.. i'll only keep vvt if i go boosted and leave stock cam in it,, think right now as i sit,im going to run the mpt70 and try .68 housing..yes yes i kno to small.. probly have boost creep.. i'll just get bigger wastegate.. should have killer torque real low rpm.. put stock tq convertor back in it..

i'll need to invest in some good tires!!!!

This turbo setup going to have a phalic looking intake again?

chevellepowered

iTrader: (37)

big as i can get it..with out it being redicilous....

man its hard as hell to track down a factory harness for this beast.......gonna try to mod it myself,,"standalone" or send it off..
any one have a local junkyard with 08' truck harness with vvt..would greatly help..or a website to junkyard..

tried looking around ,saw the ls3 complete standalone kit for around $850 which sounds like an awsome deal,, but it doenst have vvt,, if i cant find a vvt harness and ecm ,then i'll just convert it ls3 harness..
and im not gonna pay a arm and leg for a custom harness..
