New project parts found....
I got a 6.0 liter gen III (LS1,LS6) style block it's just cast iron so you can bore it w/o having to sleeve and they are dirt cheap from a yard...
Eventuallly I'lll be getting AFR heads, custom intake and a scat rotating assembly kit with h-beams... But it will be a while before I'm that far...
I also I have found a pair of these hard to find Incon headers to mount twin turbos on a LS1 v8 f-body... Still playing email tag but will get them from him.. 99.999% sure. They went under so I can't find them elsewhere...
Side view of a header mounted on an engine on a stand with a T28 garret....
Bigger turbos can fit..... You just need an elbow on the comp outlet on one side so that is why it looks like a big28 with a different turbine housing because that is what it is.....
I have looked at a TA my brother knows the owner of...
I'm just thinking of finding a cheap near dead 6cyl base model or an already caged rolling chasis... because even the T-56 in that T/A would need the full g-force upgrade kit and the rear end swaped to a ford 9"..... A g-force GF5R fivespeed would be preferable but thats a $6K trans vs a $2k upgrade kit.... Maybe their is a drag shell with all the goodies out there?
Atleast I got the headers and block.... Here is the full kit... Again the only thing I'm getting is the headers.....
I dont like the rest of the kit anyway like the IC's and the y pipe I would be going to true duals, etc so I think alot of what there would be useless and did better work DIY on my DSM than what that kit is... I can't cast my own manifolds and DIY tubular headers for a turbo in that tight of a bay would be a bi*** to get right.....
I might get turbos from agp... Also If I can find a cheap turbo to slap on the DSM I might pull the PTE 56 trim and use the CHRA and comp housing and just get another 56 trim CHRA and TO4E comphousing..... That means 1200 whp potential.... Which is why I'm thinking of buying a rolling chasis someone already built to handle that much... Drop em in a bullseye turbine housing with the t4 flange (http://www.bullseye-power.com/product_info.php?products_id=37) and make a o2 housing that is pretty much a combination downpipe/o2 its just a slight bend and a short length to meet the duals.... I guess something like Just two minor bends on each side welded to a RRE DIY o2 flange or one I made with my buds plasma cutter....
I have seen this kit installed aside from their "yucky" looking IC plumbing... If someone wanted to be sneeky just run an air-water intercooler instead and hide it under the stock airbox plastic cover infront of the throttle body... Just get an air to water with two inlets and one outlet.... The BOV's would go on the upper portion of the LICP just before they meet the IC as the outlet from the IC would only be a stub of tubing and a silicone coupler...
Run mandrel tubing from the inlets to open elements in the fender wells.. Then paint the lower IC pipes the same color as the frame, run them low and connect them to the IC....
Since they mount so low an electric scavenge pump is used by the kit... The oil feed is from the oil filter housing just like on a DSM... If I go dry sump I wont need it just T off a scavenge pump...
