Default Kentucky Turbo Build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i have finally got started on my build, i just picked up the kit a couple of days ago and man is it a great kit, good quality, Josh sure has something good going. The kit is going on my 99 camaro which has all the mods in the sig, im going to be running 7-8 pounds of boost. The turbo is a 78mm Turbonetics, Turbosmart wastegate, and BOV. I am still needing a couple of parts here and there like exhaust, alternator relocation kit, fans, etc before im completely done. Hopefully will be done within the next week or two hopefully haha. Ill keep everybody updated with pics and all that good stuff

Right now im in the process of tapping the oil pan(waiting on the right tap), and cutting and mounting for the intercooler.

Make sure you tap the driver side of the pan. Some dumb *** member on here had to do it twice on.
This is wrong, lol. Good luck, hope everything goes smoothly.

Ya i just lifted the motor off of the k-member with the engine hoist, took the steering rack off so it would pull on the lines too much, and then just took all of the bolts off of the k-member and just let it hang by the struts, and the pan came right off with no problems.

It doesn't sound like it would be too hard then. That is one of the things that I still have left to do.

well you need to do away with the stock fans and put some pusher fans in front of the radiator and as Farr as the radiator position im not exactly sure but, when i was mocking it up the pipe from the intercooler to the intake manifold didn't really want to fit but i guess its too soon to know for sure until i really start to mount everything.

Since the A/C condenser is gone you can move the radiator forward a little on top and kick it a lot farther on bottom.

Your cold piping is different then mine. Looks like Josh revised it again.


BlazinT/A- Two pusher fans are used to make room for the turbo. Then you jump on TBSSowners.com and unloaded you stockers pretty easy for some extra cash.
