Out of the ordinary Turbo intall Ok, New to this page, not very familiar with Ls engines. So here we go. I have a rock bouncer build and wanting to get more out of my little lm7. So cam and turbo are the plans. issues are tight fit. Don't go fast enough for IC to do anything so Stage 3 meth injection to take its place. Im looking for quick boost say off of 2800 to 3k. I will post up some pics for people to see what im working with. The sides are to tight and front has clearance down close to crank area, but have double triangulated 4 link that may cause an issue. So really not sure what to go with. My plan was drop in my built 5.4 sohc running a gen 2 tvs but its to wide to fit. So this is what im stuck with. without major chassis mod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also low boost around 8 to possible 10
if you put the gm blue ls6 valve springs in it and a 78/75 turbo with e85 non intercooled it will double the useable power without touching the cam. I have done it. spools fast and has good power up to 5600 or so . you will think it has two 5.3's in it
the 78/75 are a china turbo that precision turbo should work great as well. you are not asking for much really . but the use of e85 whould help with no intercooler and meth whould not be needed.

Thanks, yeah e85 will not be a problem. Im robbing parts from my other build. So have 80lb deka with the snow stage 3 injection which netted me 50 more rwhp on the 5.4 at 21# of boost. Had 3 spray ports and would almost ice up the intake.
A turbo setup is going to be hard to fit without poking out of the chassis. Would suck to roll it and bust stuff up. Do you have space underneath by the trans?
I'd go with something small tho like what precision said, maybe even smaller since you very rarely go wot when crawling.
Why not just swap in a cammed 6.0 with some truck heads?
