How much did you pay for your Lt1 Turbo set up I"M curious to know what kind of prices i'm looking at from top to bottom on building my Lt1 for a turbo/ the kit....

Also i'm looking to make this a daily... what kind of fuel econ do you get when your not boosting....
Lastly... what are running (PSI) and dyno #'s are appreciated... oh yeah timeslips...
Thanks in advance... PS i'm trying to track down total cost an LSx swap into my 95 and will make my decision after I've obtained enough info....

didn't cost me to much, fuel system was the most expencive part, unless you count the engine rebuild, since the stock lt1 wouldn't hold the amount of boost that the t70 would put out, it says 4.2 bar is the max output of the turbo, but I don't know what I hit, my gauge only goes to 30 psi, (I was runing 6 psi then the waste gate snapped shut and wow) that and it only held it for a second, then smoke and steam everywhere. But even with the complete rebuild and turbo kit I am only into it about 3k. The engine took up most of that too.

You could buy either a PTK kit (probably best on the market for LT1's), TTi street kit, or sts kit. Thats it for us LT1's that I know of. A PTK kit with a T70 will run you $5400 or so.
The engine, a forged short block will run you $3400-3600 (doesnt matter whether its a 355 or 383). You want heads too? thats another $2k. Cam, lifters, timing chain, etc. Lets call it $7000 for engine...
Tranny, if you have an auto, your screwed. That thing will blow up! The manual may last for awhile, but you need a clutch (Mcleod street twin seems to be best for LT1's). Thats ~$1000 with steel flywheel.
Fuel system? Aleast an intank 255 with BAP and large injectors (60's or higher). Your looking at ~$800
So, for a PTK kit, engine, tranny, fuel system are around...$14,200. I havent even talked about a rearend either...~$2400.

Although, I say for the fuel pump situation, just get the racetronix dual intake 255 setup. I haven't priced it out yet, but I really only need the wiring because I have the two pumps and Y-block already.
