Default DYNO UPDATE!!! My twinturbo redo/build...

Hey guys! I thought I'd share my redo/build. I was just initially going to replace my t3/t4 turbos on my CAS twinturbo kit as one of the turbine wheel got damaged, but when I saw a pair of 2010 camaro exhaust manifolds, I thought...this might actually work. So, here's my first ever attempt on fabricating a twin kit, just don't pay any attention to my crappy welds...I'm terrible! . I'm basically re-using the wastegates, blow-off valve and more likely the intercooler as well from the other kit. Anyway, I'll be using a pair of Turbonetics T4 BB 66/65. I'm hoping to hit the 1000rwhp mark. Here are some pics.

More mock-ups and test fittings.

Had to do some clearancing on the passenger's side to clear the the turbine and compressor housing, and I also on the driver's side to clear the flange and wastegate pipe, that piece that I cut out has already been hammered as you can see in able to clear the other kit, but I still need a little bit more. So, I decided to just cut it out and weld a flat piece back on which should look a lot better after I finish the welds and painted.

I had to cut re-locate a brace on my BMR k-member (passenger side) to clear the compressor housing. I think a BMR "turbo" K-member would clear the housing. I'm also using a Powermaster mini-starter, which is shorter compared to a MSD unit.

3" down pipes and 1.5" waste gates tubes with a pair of 38mm Tial. I'm still trying to decide what to do with the rest of the exhaust system.

Completely cool. Don't worry about how the welds look. Function over form. If they work who cares how they look!

That is really inspiring to look at.

Believe it or not, I've been working on my Twin setup using the same manifolds, and same turbo's lol. Except mine aren't BB. Regular TC66's.

However, mine is going on an 04 GTO. And I'm running into issues with the stearing shaft. If I can't get it to work out, I'll end up facing the foward as they work in that position.

Good luck with the built! That is by far the coolest custom setup I've seen yet!

Fantastic job! I also looked into this using the LS3 manifolds but was planning on bolting the turbo's right to the manifold flange. But that would put the turbo's very low. I never thought about cutting into the manifolds.

Thanks, guys! I actually kind'a surprised myself that it turned out halfway descent.

Well, a compliment coming from one of the guys on this board whose works I really admire... I'll take it! Thanks! Anyway, they're .68a/r. I was initially gonna go with .81 but, I was kinda worried that it might make it too laggy with my M6, hopefully it won't choke it too soon. What do you think?

Thanks! Yeah, I just got tired of how hard it is to change the plugs with my CAS kit.

Thanks!

the 0.68s are a good fit on a 6 speed. I Have made 1200 rw on them.
