KY-Turbo Build
Figured i'd make a build thread since all the parts are in and we can start putting this thing together. Planning on pushing this motor to atleast 15psi @ lsx fest this year, it'll be a learning curve since i've raced it on the jug for 2 years now. The goal is for it to eventually be a 9 sec. street car, last year i drove the car about 400 miles round trip on radials and skinnies to lsx fest and ran 10's with the 150 pills / cam only.
Engine:
forged 346ci LS1
comp 22x/23x .61x/.62x 115 lsa
new bearings
317 heads
total seal rings
dual springs
melling oil pump
RPM head studs
Turbo:
KY-Turbo front mount manifold kit
Stainless plumbing
46mm pte wastegate
tial bov
PTE 7675 Billet Turbo
4" IC
14" downpipe
Thanks again to Josh from kyt&p, and my tatershack boys in Nashville. God knows i bugged the hell out of em for questions just to get to where i am now with the build.
Here is a picture of the car from camaro performers jan 2011 edition...

I will be buying almost the same kit from KYTP within the next few weeks. Talked to Josh the other day about upgrading the turbo the pt billet. You leaving the radiator in the stock location or moving it upwards? Look forward to following your build.

Hell the only turbo car i've ever drove is my 2011 VW GTI haha so it should be a change of pace.
The plan is to keep the radiator in its stock location, and just use pusher fans. The kit should clear the stock radiator, if it doesn't i'll go with an aftermarket.

Thats why i went with a healthy cam for a turbo car, its not too radical but i want to be able to spin it high.
