LS2 GTO twin turbo setup Forgot to post this from LS1GTO:
It's been over 3 years....
That's how long i haven't driven the GTO.
Got the Headers done. I got the passenger side already welded up. Small pipes. Stock LS2. maybe i'll get lucky before it hits 2014.
Billet Collector
Hopefully i'll make 500hp.

Got the motor buttoned up now.
Sorry I didn't take pics of the pan while it was out. :/
some notes:
I went with a 90 on the driver side, that way the line is as short as possible from the turbo. Not to mention it avoids the down pipe at all cost.
The drivers side fitting requires the motor mount to be loose, and the motor raised on initial install of the 90 degree hose end. I do not FOR-SEE any point of having to remove that connection, unless dropping the oil pan, which either way, you would be disconnecting the mount from the cradle.
That spot seams to be the best location for any drain.
Some may ask why I did not go to the timing cover:
1st I didn't want to go to an under drive pulley.
2nd It was way to close for my taste. Hate to see what a snapped belt would do.
3rd I am leaning the radiator towards the engine, so I wanted max room.

more updates:
Got the oil feed and drain lines done. Except missing one straight 90 degree hose end -4.
Relocated top radiator mount further in, to tilt radiator back.
Mounted intercooler.
Might fire her up this week assuming any setbacks.

Wasn't 100% happy with the intercooler and placement.
Made new brackets and placed it as tight to the AC condensor as possible. Before I had a gap, near the bottom, which would have been a low pressure area.
Had to dent the outlet to clear just to fit it. Going to cut it off and weld a bigger 3.5" outlet. also going to change the angle slightly.
Also going to cut the lower intercooler inlets, and weld 45 degree bends to them. Next time, I will just buy the core and make my own end tanks.

nice fab work man. imy drivers drain is short and goes to the timing cover and my passenger drain is a little longer going to the passenger side of the oil pan. only way i could make it work with the way my downpipes are. (im also twin turbo.) My down pipes are coated and heat wrapped and my drain barely touches them. im not worried about it.
