Default My tt "budget" 6 speed build Now with BA 2-step vid (pics back up)

Well a little back ground on the car, it is a stock bottom end with a trex I ran it with a 150 shot for about 5 different track outings It went 10.06@136 its fastest pass and the next run I bent the mainshaft and destroyed the trans. So I decided to ditch the nitrous because it is a huge pita dealing with refilling bottles and worrying about pressures all the time.

Details on the build are ls3 camaro manifold, two on3 76mm turbos (I will never buy from the guy again he is the biggest A hole I have ever dealt with buying car parts), two 44mm on 3 gates, a couple rps bov's, 80lb injectors, two walbros, #8 feed line and stock return. I also did headstuds, and ls9 gaskets which at this point I don't know if it was worth doing. One of my favorite things about the build was the custom steam vent set up.

I am also using an n2mb wot box for a two step and for its no lift shift feature, which is really bad ***, I tried it out for the first time last night and didn't loose boost in between shifts! Jon @ N2MB was awesome to work with and very helpful.

I can say this has been a nice learning experience I fabbed everything and rebuilt my first t56 ever. It was basically my first time to weld something that contains any amount of pressure, I did pressure test so all was good, and after my first 7 psi pulls it feels great!
On to some pics!

thanks, I forgot to mention I have about 5 months in the build. I did not really push my self to make any deadlines just wanted to make sure it turned out nice. It spools quite well and with the no lift shift I got two nice fire ***** out of both down pipes. I will get video as soon as I can.

edit: PTP turbo blankets they work very well so far

I don't know if I will ever put it on the dyno, but if I do I will report back. My main goal is to reach 145mph in the 1/4 if it will do that I will be happy I just hope the stock pistons and rods will take it. What fuel are you using?

Wow, twin 76s?! That seems awfully big for that size engine..

May I ask what size the turbine wheel is, and what A/R hot side?

the turbines are .96's on the ar if my memory serves me right and the turbine wheels are tiny@60mm or just a hair over. If I had it my way I would have gone bigger turbine wheels but these were just under 700 for the pair...

I still have to put a cage in it and make some subframe connectors before I make any passes on slicks but I may take it out tomorrow night and make some street tire passes so I can get a little more tuning done.

Nice built you got going on there, I'd love to see a 9 second stock bottom end 6 speed! I'd like to know more about this no lift to shift box as my MSD box doesn't cut spark for WOT shifting.

WOT boxes are more prominent in the mustang crowd. I love the build, i just dont like the exhaust exiting right onto the tire. Should you blow the turbo seals going down the track and shoot oil all over your front tire it will not end well.

I have never seen a turbo "blow the seals out" at least concerning a huge oil loss coming from the exhaust. I would be more worried about the turbine wheel trying to come out in the case of a turbo failure. Also the angle of the pics doesn't do it much justice.

As for the WOT box just check out N2MB.com and you will see their product line. Installation was pretty straight forward even though there are no specific instructions for our cars I can help with more info on the installation if need be or Jon @ N2MB can also help.

Yea they will more than likely spool about instantly for you. I thought about going with the small housings but I am glad I didn't now it is a little easier to control breaking the tires loose when the power comes on a bit slower

I wish you well with your new setup. I do have a couple concerns. I don't see the vent tubes venting to atmosphere. Am I missing no seeing it? I doubt the stock radiator will do the job if you plan to drive it on the street.
