Lightbulb 6.0 TWIN TURBO LQ4 Aerocharger!!!!

6.0 TWIN TURBO ESCALADE MOTOR


I'm the proud OWNER!!!!

So it is...with a little sadness...I bid, farewell, Ms. ZZ4, Though we did have a blast, I knew it wouldn't last!!!

STAY TUNED FOLKS....STAY-TUNED!!!!!! HAha

BTW: I called it LQ4 because the seller labled it as such but technically wouldn't it be a "LQ9" HO?

Does anyone have any info on Aerocharger in general or these turbos specifically?

If you decided to switch turbos please email me centralairmo@gmail.com I'm interested in them for a couple of Harley projects.

Wow, it looks like the turbo kit is $5000 on its own! Nice snag.

Wow, that's cool. Big but cool.

Gonna take a lot of engine bay to swallow that though but it looks like an OEM with the covers.

The twin-turbo is going right here! I spun a bearing in my ZZ4 about two months ago now...I've already pulled the motor, sold my Hughes 700 because I want a 4L60 that I can simply "plug-in". (Or maybe a T-56?)....(Or maybe a 6L80?!!?) From what I've read, the Transdapt LS mounts are the best thing going...great price and great fit! As far as fuel goes, right now I have a fuel sump welded to my tank an fuel is plumbed through a Holley Blue. I can either keep the tank, x the Holley for a Walbro external, or I could sell my whole sump set-up and go for a new tank with a Walbro internal?
Decisions....Decisions....

Dont know if I'll keep the cadillac cover yet? Dont think I'll be able to get the signature LSX covers either(because of the turbos). I'll have much more to say once it arrives. By then I will have plenty of pics and a decision on wether I'm going 4L60 or T56! Any suggestions?

SIDENOTE: I HAVE A STOCK 02 DENALI MOTOR COMPLETE TAKEOUT...ECM,HARNESS,FRONT ACCESORY, STARTER, PAN EXH. MANIFOLDS

Bought it a week before I saw the twin. Got it for 1500...U can have it for 1500

P.S...I CANT POST IN CLASSIFIEDS???

I doubt they would turbo the LQ9 so it probably is an LQ4. Watched that for a while myself. Good score.

Cowl induction for sure - if you don't have to put some monster sized one on it. That looks good from here.
