LQ4 370 Kytp build
Cold side going together, the radiator and fans worked out great hard to tell by the pic but there's actually quite a bit of distance from the turbo to the fans
I'm a little worried the blow off valve may be sitting a little high not sure the hood will clear it

And thats where im at, im hoping to have it running later this week Im not sure if it will run ok with the old tune since im going from MAF to Speed Density, or if ill have to re tune it just for the initial start up?
Getting closer Im working on the exhaust im thinking about doing an elec cutout then going over the axle to a magnaflow muffler. Does anybody know how loud the open cutout out will be? Just curious if I should put a small bullet muffler before the cutout. My goal is to have loud when i want and quiet and mild the rest of the time
Looks like a good build, for what its worth I got a 7875 and its nice on the street but I wont get any track numbers till its warm. Why didn't you go with a bigger turbo. If I had that K member I would have gotten something bigger.
Looks killer though

I have a stock lq4 with stock 317's with a custom spec'd cam from Brian Tooley and all the other supporting mods (Cam, valve springs, pushrods, ls7 lifters, rod bolts, head studs and ls9 hg) and my tc76 is doing ok, but does not make near the power most guys are at my boost levels (granted its only 3.5 inch dp and goes through a full exhaust) but FWIW at 11psi it made 480Whp (stalled 4l80e) but with that boost I was able to run a 6.76 @ 104.8mph in the 1/8th, when we turned it up to 15psi it made 585 but I haven't gotten back to the track yet (got kicked last time for no safety equipment). So the #'s are lower than most people pushing 15psi not sure on the times still really curious to see what it runs with 15 psi.

With a forged 370 I'd still go with a bigger exh wheel then that. Its day and night difference between the tc and that but if your going to upgrade might as well do it right. I'd go to a PT88 or a BW S476 or S480 with a T4 flange. Not sure you'd fit the either of the BW's though.
the turbo came with the kit I figure I will see how it runs and upgrade if necessary I didn't think a 76mm turbo would be too small for my set up
Progress update, got the radiator top mount made up, got the gauges installed and the front clip mounted. We ended up cutting the plastic out of the grill to let the intecooler breathe and got a black billet grille, I think I want to paint the inter cooler black so it doesn't stand out so much, got to give a big shout out to Matt at Gearhead Garrage, for the clean install

We'll some more progress the exhaust is all made up! Next update hopefully will be video of this thing coming to life I'm still not sure it will even run on my old tune so I may have to trailer it to get a base tune in it, guess we'll find out soon enough
Got it running its a crappy cell video I'll try to get some better video soon
