Smokin got his 4" DP through his K member, it may be car dependant.

That si goin on a f-body? how the hell is taht gonan fit. I have the phamspeed kit with a t76 and there is about a halfinch between the turbo and thecranks and the turbo actually touched teh radiator. So to see yours about a foot awaay fromteh engine has me perplexed. I know ya said that you are moving the radiator but from what i see that turbo is gonna sit where the FMIC usually is. I dunno maybe there is somethign that i am missing but that looks WAYYYY off. GL

My turbo is going in the reverse of yours. The phamspeed kits put the flange near the crank with the rest of the turbo facing forwards about 8 inches. Mine has the flange as the farthest point out and the turbo facing inwards towards the motor 8 inches.

I am also relocating the radiator forwards a good 4".

 

would like to see some pics of it in the car, its really hard to get perspective from those pics.

Im sure it all fits though, why would you waste your time with something that doesnt
lol

Here this should help you guys visualize it. Remember there is no water pump or balancer on yet so the amount of space is deceiving...

 

that makes it a lil easier to visualize

still seems out there in the front

of course we are not seeing the the balancer or WP etc

 

The truck manifolds will never work. You got a long way to go but it will be worth it in the end. Keep up the good work.

Just for everyones info. I used a PA K-member and got a 5" downpipe thru it. With a custom motor mount I made.

 

Both of the above cars use the truck manifolds, correct?
Got any pics of the seup in your 2002 T/A?

Cool! BUT man resting the GT42 on the pipes with just tack welds holding stuff together........BRASS BALLZ

But then again I my tack welds suck and I don't trust em at all.

The first pics were a lil deceptive, but now its all coming together, looks like it'll have a good 2.5 inches in front of the crank pulley and with the radiator sitting further forward I can see all of it clearing
hmmm wonder if I can use a truck manifold for my passenger side

I need to start researching a DIY turbo setup....

 

What size piping comes off the manifolds to the turbo? 3" what is the correct name for that piping?

 

well this is a good thread to start in

 

You should see how fast a white boy can run when his turbo is sitting on tack welds!
I was to the camera and back in under 10 seconds!

 

you to the turbo...--->



Can't wait to see more pics of this awesome set up, I knew I shoulda tackled a turbo set up on my own....you guys make it look too easy.

Hey I recognize that turbo!

I'm glad it went to good use and hope it works out for ya

 

to be fair the 4" didnt fit until i took a grinder to a couple of places on the kmember and block.
but she fits now

not fair your using a solid mount on that side, right.
I still have the stock poly mounts.

 

PA Kmember? Do you have a link? Im not sure where I want to position my single kit, I like the position of this one, and Hi flos. I really only want to make 500-600 on the street.

 

Nice work and good pics ofe everything. Im sure you will keep us posted...

 

very similar to the set-up i am looking at for my car. i am using 2.5 inch from the manifold to the turbo, and a 3 inch down pipe. plans may change though.

 

what year manifolds are those xssive
