Nice ET's and 60fts. love the wheels up photo too.
-
I like where this build is going. Subscribed to your thread. Nice work.
-
You can really see the nitrous kick in on the video. I can't wait to see what it does at the track.
-
Yeah, good to hear!
-
I'm on e85 with a 8 gallon tank. So I'm not driving very long distances. lol. I'd say I'm in the "teens" for mpg's
-
This is sad to see. I was looking forward to seeing some track video's

What manifold is that?
I'm running 2 passanger side truck manifolds. 02 silverado I believe (non egr).
Since there will be no more front mount intercooler sitting behind the bumper I sourced a grill to put back in. It needed alittle tlc but it looks pretty good now and matches the engine bay.
The turbo hot pipes are really coming together now. The muffler is in place with the 4 inch pipe heading to the merger. A 4 inch vband will be added in where the pipes meet but aren't tacked together yet. The passager side manifold wraps under the 4 inch exhaust to feed that turbo. The drivers side is more direct. Next up will be the wastegates.

I saw it in the store. Congrates.

Thanks and good luck with your sale and build. I have a few friends on TSC but Im not on there much. I have the same screen name on there too.
Here is the picture of the air to water intercooler that I plan on putting in the dash. Hopefully it will fit. The piping and couplers came in so I can build the exhaust. The exhaust is starting to take shape.

the s480 hit around 5500 on the 6.0L and was worse on the 5.3L.
This is as far as I have gotten so far:

Collecting Parts. I'm going to attempt to fit a 4 inch in/out Magnaflow Muffler in the front fender. I also had some water port flanges cnc for the lq4. It will use 3/4npt to 12an fittings. My hope is to less restrictive and run cooler. That and they look cool. (March. 2013)
I got the turbos hanging in the engine bay. I kind want them an inch higher so I may redo the brackets but haven't decided. I also put the muffler in to see how it will fit. I think I will need to run the intercooler pipe on the other side of the motor to make room for the ubend going into the muffler. I need to see how the intercooler fits behind the dash before I make the final decision on that though. Exhaust mandrel bent pipes should be in tomorrow so I can get some more built this weekend. (March. 2013)
If anyone is interested in the water pump outlet flange above I can get a group buy started. It would be 80.00 for a pair shipped in the USA. I would need to let them know in the next couple of weeks though.
-
The oil less turbos are basically just a standard comp TBB center, the only big advancement is the addition of a very specific extremely high temperature capable grease that is used to pack the bearing unit with. This is expected to last 5 years or 40-50k miles.
The above is quoted from these thread - http://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/1398813-comp-turbo-oilless-turbos.html
I would like to add that the water is run through a totally different chamber that doen't contact the shaft. Therefore couldn't leak into the comp or turbine housings.

I'm going to be running dual precision mfs-6152e t4 .58ar. It should spool pretty quick if I did my homework right. I hope to make atleast the same power as before but from 3k to 6500. I made 577whp on just one sc6152 t3 in my integra. I hear the billet mfs wheel is better than the old cast sc wheel but not as good as the cea wheel. The 2cea's were out of my price range. The 6.0 is going back together now. I had gone to a stock 150k 5.3l junkyard engine last season and it took a lot of abuse. 770whp to be exact lol. But came to an end while crusing on the freeway. Having pulled it apart but its making a floping noise.
i will pass the word around on your turbo's
-
Have you varified with a timing light that the actual timing at the engine matchs the timing on the haltech. I have tuned alot of cars and the glowing exhaust and falling on its face up top tells me the timing is extremely retarted or the cams are out of phase.
-
I took the car to get recertified by the nhra tech this weekend. It only happens once a year so you have to make sure you get on the list. My car is good to run no faster that 8.50 in the 1/4 for another 3 years. (March. 2013)
-
I don't have personal experiance with them but every review I have read has be positive. There comp wheels are on par with the precision cea wheels. I have seen a few people running them in low mount or rear mount setups on ls1 tech and yellow bullet.
-
I am planing to doing a A2W inside the dash.
-
Its always fun to see what your up to. Iove what you did with the dash! Are you going to hit the dyno soon?
-
Its funny your going back to a single. I just switched over to twins. I'm in the process of building the kit now. I look forward to seeing more of your build progress.
-
Working on the new setup for 2013. I drew up the plan for the twin setup. Here are some photos of the beginning of the merger for the exhaust. I want to have the turbo's oriented before mapping out the rest of the piping. I measured so I can use the ports in the top of the radiator support for air filter pipes. (March 2013)
I made a bracket to support the turbos. It will attach the turbo's to the radiator support. I also ordered the 4 inch bends so I can build the new exhaust which will incorporate a magnaflow muffler. (March. 2013)
-
looks like a fun swap. Nice work so far!

I'm running the silvermine kit on mine. I don't have a brake booster on my car so its all manual. I can stop my car okay with out the parachute on 1/4 mile shut down from 150mph run. Granted its alot easier with the parachute.
-
No kidding on the tease. I thought I got to see another tt v8 build up. I need to just get started on my own.
