Anyone know what it'd take to fabricate a STS turbo system to fit on a 1972 Chevelle? I'll be putting an LS1 in my Chevelle this winter and would love to go the STS route. They sell a universal kit but it says it doesn't come with any tubing?

with all that room in the engine bay u'd be MUCH happier with a front mount setup. wouldnt be that hard to fab up, would look better, and perform better.

Exactly what this guy said.

geez, I wish I could've been the first to say it. You could fit two 88's in the front if you wanted...

Just wish I had the fabrication ability to make my own headers
Unless there is a kit for it? Maybe i'm not looking deep enuff.....

Use truck manifolds......easy enough.

I sell the STS, but really, with that much room, why not just do twins or a bigger single in front? You can go with a rear turbo and it will work just fine though

I had considered a rear mount on my 67 bird, but decided when i get around to fixing it, I'm going front mount for sure. Twin 67's or 70's aught to do it, or a single T88 for the hell of it. Put it up front...

Any recommended kits that would make the process easy as possible? Just looking at possibilities at the moment...............

As far as I know, you are gonna have to do some fabbing.

afraid of that. Maybe i'll go the Kenne Bell route eventually. Man, i need to get rich quick!

A front mount can be done in a Chevelle, I have seen it!

korndawg

Yeah, i've seen a couple front mount twin turbos on Chevelles and they are really sweet! I just don't have the fabrication ability to do such a thing so i'm more or less looking for something thats nearly bolt-on. I'm doin some looking into the Kenne Bell thinking that might be a good way to go.

Anyone else with some thoughts. I'd have plenty of room up front for a turbo, but I don't see me being able to fabing up some custom headers.

Since you have an ls1 in a chevelle and you're looking for some kind of forced induction, it'd be pretty sweet to see that whipple 3.3L in the chevelle under a 4 inch hood . Just a thought.

I have a standard SS hood so that gives me a lil more clearance over a typical Chevelle hood. Guess i should measure my actual clearance. The DS1C Procharger looks like it'd be a good way to go too.
