Ground Zero's new turbo kit in the works
 

We just wanted to let everyone know we are working on a pretty slick new turbo kit. This time no pipes will be ran under the K-member, and cooling fans stay in stock position. AC can be kept as well. Price is still up in the air but I would think base kit will be around $3800 and intercooled will be around $4500. Both setups will be complete with everything you'll need to install. We'll even run the exhaust all the way back to the catback like our last kit.

We also just got our company/race Camaro which our new turbo kit will be tested on. We'll probably run it anywhere from 7-10psi. So for anyone crazy about numbers, stay tuned.

What type of turbo kit? Single / twin ? What type of manifolds? Any pictures? Is this kit targeted for street cars or race cars?

now this is something that sounds interesting.

you might have the ultimate, no comprimise, street setup on your hands if you pull it off.

It is a single turbo kit. Base kit will come with a Precision PT70 which is rated at 780hp I believe. Though this kit is targeted towards street cars, I see no reason this kit isn't capable of 1000+hp.

Why can't anyone offer a good cheap kit like this for the C5???

We're working on it:) In fact, it is our next car on the list of making kits for.

When, When, When????

Sounds good, can't wait! :)

Cool, will exchanges be in order for those us with kits with pipes under the k member? I'll be glad to swap out my road rashed pipes for a new set, tell us when and where.
Hellraiser, sellzo6, 99ss-t you see this?























chances of this happening, slim to none, but hey its worth a shot:jest:
J:nod:

lol.. I plan on redoing my whole kit hopefully over the winter. I wanna get everthing over the k-member and gete the turbo to sit higher. Might even do a liquid to air IC.

Sounds very promising, but there have been many to claim that and hasn't come through....

Will it be a log manifold, single turbo?

So far the TTI kit gets my vote.

I'll be ready to buy this winter if all looks good.

If this gets done and a good price i see you selling a lot of them...... are you going to be using log type manifolds or more like a header

when is the projected release date for this kit. and what options will we have on upgrading the turbo???
thanks

The kit will be log style manifold. And really, that's the only way to get a clean system in a cramped engine bay. We will most likely show pictures of the kit next week. Actually going into production is another thing. This is still up in the air but of course, we'll be letting all you guys know

just out of curiosity, what makes these log style manifolds different then ones say like the tti kit?

i hear due to excessive backpressure you wont be good for more then 600 rwhp. are they larger in diameter?

Thanks.

Ah back to the good ol log. Very cool that you guys are making a new kit over the K-member! Will you still be producing the "budget" kit or is that going the way of the dinosour? I take it the kit will be similar to TTi's with a drivers side log and stock passanger side header? Relocated the alternator but thats it?

If anyone is going to make another log then lets take the next step a do a cast log manifold. These stainless tigged TTI style manifolds arent holding up well enough. And if you make one that is along the same dimensions as the TTI log you can sell a bunch of them to us TTi guys too so we can swap out. Its less machine work than it takes to cut & bend tube and weld one up and you could get a cheap mill, fab a few fixtures and do it yourself. you could cut 50 pcs in 10 hours in about 3 set ups not counting drill and tap the flange which could be done on the bench with a simple drill fixture and drill press.

ive got some good ideas for that log you are talking about. i will send john an email and see what he thinks. do you have the new camaro in shop yet

I already have a kit on my car that retains factory everything, only thing you do is swap alt and tensioner spots, the 4" exhaust runs in the factory location's and it retains a Gt-42, now it's just time to dyno. :drive:
