Default Budget turbo kit 67-69 ls Camaro

Anyone out there making a kit or developing one for ls swap Camaro/Nova? I know One guys garage makes a sweet kit but its some bucks. A budget China turbo deal would be a huge hit I would think. Kit would fit 67-69 Camaro/67-69 Firebird/68-74 Nova (all with ls swap).

All the factory manifolds mig weld great. Doesn't get more budget than buying a cheap welder and making a kit.

This is 2" OD mild steel kit made in an afternoon for peanuts. Factory manifolds and 38mm china gates. Went 8.70's. Never had an issue with it.




That said the $120 ebay "turbo headers" fit all those applications with up and fwd manifolds. China clone Gt3582 turbos are great and dirt cheap.

CXRacing has a twin turbo kit



On3 has a single turbo kit



I'm not sure on fit/finish of either kits, but they are available. OP was from back in 2014, but just for information if someone's looking

I'm running right at 10.1:1 with e85 fuel. If I had planned better, I would have run at least 11:1.

Good to know... I'm at 10.8-ish or so and am intrigued.

I know I would want to go EFI though
