The kit just got here and I opened the boxes and took a few pics. See them here:

Right off the bat the quality of the parts and welding is very apparent. I tried to get a close pic of the welds but it doesn't begin to show how nice the fabrication is on this stuff. Plus all the stainless tubing is fully polished which was an unexpected touch.

My short block is assembled and just waiting on heads. So hopefully in less than a month I'll be able to give you some numbers and opinions on how the system works.

Thanks again to Peter for the help and the gang at APS for a top-notch product.

wow looks nice, i had no idea there was a tt kit out for the gto. very nice!

 

A lot of those parts have a real familiar look to them.

Did I see something about that going for 8K a while ago? If so, its not a bad price for what you get.

The turbos look slightly bigger than the ones I have.

Out of curiosity, why are there two bungs in the down pipes? You planning on a wideband or something?

I went with 8.2:1, but stock displacement.

I'm sure it will do very well.

 

Their kit is $8995. I did get upgraded turbos and will be running a wideband. Have not looked through the install notes yet to see what everything is for.

WOW...cant wait to hear what you put down for #'s on stock motor and on the built motor...Looks awesome

 

What size turbos are they...

 

You must be made of money!!

 

Nope, just sold a couple projects to do this car. I've seen $7500 to $12000 for twin turbo kits, so since this is for a GTO which will never have the total sales of an F body I felt it was worth it.

Jody

 

What mm turbos are you going with?

 

Went with GT30R's which support 500 HP each. There are bigger options which I may do depending on how these work, but they're the biggest they had that fit the kit.

Jody

 

keep us posted...Turbo A4 LS2 GTO is the way to go...

 

those headers look nice,
wonder if the would fit an fbody flipped forward?

 

What about just the way they are? Like the incon set up? That is what I ultimately want, a nice twin turbo setup mounted down low and outta sight!

 

Great pics. It looks like a very complete and high quality setup. $8K is a very fair price for everything you got.

Why is your CR so low ? 7.9:1 ??

Mark

 

are those cast manifolds. those look great. a lot like the ole incon setup. will that fit an f body

 

wow...you have quite a few nice rides. Are you in software by any chance?

 

Thanks guys. I do not own any of the other cars on my site anymore, just the GTO. This project should be a lot of fun. There is a lot of doubt as to what power level the cast manifolds can support, but we're going to find out. I'm guessing it'll make 700-750 rwhp, but even at 600 rwhp it'll be a LOT of fun.

The compression was spec'd by Wheel to Wheel. Slightly lower than I thought it'd be, but I am sure they know what they're doing.

Jody

 

theres a reason it looks so much like an incon kit.

 

is that the kit from Australia designed by Dave Inall?
