Just look under the engine bay. Now if there is anything you are ditchin (like abs), picture it without that in the way.

Best thing to do is have the turbo and hold it up in a area that looks that it will fit nice in. Just make sure that you can run all piping to and from it without getting close to anything that could possibly melt.

Im not postin pictures because a ton of people already are tryin to copy me. Now where is the originality in that?? Be creative and come up with something.

Do a google search for LT1Boost. That will take you to a guys website with pretty good pics.

I'll have pics of mine once the hot parts come in and while I'm fabricating the cold side piping for the horizontal FMIC I'm doing. PT76GTS btw.

Im gonna start on mine here in a few weeks so i need ideas too. Ill be using these headers i got off a guy. Some of you may know these headers and i got a good deal on them. Figureing anything i do ill need to mod some headers up and these are damn close as they sit so they should need much modding to make them work. Well see, but more pics would be cool.

I'm using this header that I found at the shop on the driver's side and a hooker LT1 shorty header on the passenger's side.

I have to reroute the last primary over the top as it hits the steering shaft and aim the collector more forward versus downwards. Here it is mocked up hitting the steering shaft:

The hooker shorty on the passenger side will mount normally and I'm going to run the crossover in front of the sump on the oil pan. It will go under the driver's side header around the motor mount and merge upwards. The turbo (GT42-74mm-T6 flange-1.15ar) will mount like this although further back once I get rid of the ABS block:


If I had a BMR turbo k member the downpipe would run over the k member, but I'm rocking the stocker. There for the 4 inch downpipe is going to go under the k member on the passenger side. I'm going to flatten that section to an oval shape for better clearance.

Haha, I like your how to roll back your odometer pictures. Why did you ditch the twins is favor of the single? How do you like megasquirt? I'm thinking that's what I'm going to run on my 93. I'm not completely decided yet.

My thought process is a bit different than anything else ive seen, i would like to do a setup similar to gn/ttype regal but with the turbo mounted lower around were the ac comp would be located. Take a shorty type header on the driver side, wrap it around into a custom passenger manifold to the turbo. It may not be the most efficient but i feel itll leave more room upfront for access to acc and locating a intercooler. Plus that way i can route the charge pipe up to the tb the same way a cai would, so from the top itll look pretty stock.

Just sucks I dont have the money to pull it off

95 turbo Z - No Opti - MegaSQUIRT - EDIS8
My kinda ride! Have you ran into any issues with the EDIS and the supposed rev limiter? I have yet to see anyone who has ran into one with it.

Do you have pics of your crank trigger setup?
