Default Building a a/c turbo kit with manifolds need pics guys.

hey guys im gona build my own a/c kit to fit a 70 mm and a 76mm turbo but i wana build it to keep radiator tilted and keep the sway bar. i could use any pics of your setup. the more the marrier. my buddie has a truck mani kit with a 70 mm and a 76 and his rad is still stock location but fans set as pushers.
are the oem speed control fans reversable? i see a lot of pics of the non ac truck only kits. i need to see the ac setups with vette manifolds and truck manifold.

You're going to have a real hard time keeping the AC, AND the swaybar, AND the radiator in the stock location. I fabbed up one kit that routed the plumbing under the swaybar and around the AC compressor, and should keep the radiator in the stock location. My only complaint with it is that the plumbing hangs down a bit low in the front, and on a lowered car, I was worried about it scraping on things.

Here's a pic of it



I made a couple more with a swaybar delete taken into account





Another one

TC78, I'm not sure how much bigger you could go and still clear the radiator sweep.

It's a C6 LS2 Corvette manifold. Search for "official c6" in this forum and you'll find a thread with all kinds of info.

Bad *** man I can see why the bmr k member is needed. That's how I had it planned in my head great to see it on photo. Have u got any further along with it? I wana make it fit a 70 and 76mm keeping the rad tilted w pusher fans and I can delete the swaybar so the straight 90 bend there looks good

My car has a BMR turbo K-member, C6 vette passenger manifold and truck driver side manifold and I have the ac still. I have a griffin radiator that is located like everyone else uses on here that is not in the stock location. I still have my condenser and the intercooler up front. My T-cooler is mounted underneath the passenger side floorboard. I just had to get the stock a/c line from the compressor re-bent to work with the new distance between the compressor and condensor.

I don't see you being able to do all the things that you mentioned, and I think you will have to sacrifice something to keep the a/c and run the turbo you want.

My car has. Everything in the stock location. Even the alt. And it has a 67mm on it. the only thing moved were fans , they were swapped for pushers. Plenty of kits have been built like that. It's a tight fit, but it can be done

I kept my sway bar....had a small issue with rubbing but it was the fabbing not a space issue
