Custom Turbo's keeping AC???
 

I know the truck manifold one cannot, anybody running a custom setup that they did keep the AC? where'd ya moutn the turbo(s)? single or twin? intercooled? info needed for placement(i know basically all i need to about turbos plus i have friends with custom turbo'd cars, just need placement ideas).

I was planning on this https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/547974-truck-manifolds-ac-take-look-please.html
but it was already overpriced and they just raised the price again recently. MIGHT clear truck manis:)

If you want to keep your A/C, I think the Turbo Tech street kit is the only one that does. Even with it, you are only limited to maybe 600 hp on a built motor. If you want big numbers, the A/C will have to be sacrificed for some headers.. Log style systems suck, but are your only option

if that was only a AC pulley setup i'd go for it....

Logs aren't so bad. I've run 143 mph at full weight with a log header and T76GTS on my old LT1 with a blower cam. There's more to come also, as the run was made with 17's up front in 90+ deg heat and there's more left in the turbo!

i wouldn't dog log systems so much...

Welllllll you could always go with a rearmount setup! :) Right Steve?

Well...if its custom...then it is up to the person who builds it. Now if you want a production turbo kit from a sponser or company...then I think all you have is the TTi Street Kit and one of TurboZone's kits, or rear mounts.

What is TTi website, or a site that you can read up on them?

There are others that keep A/C and use tubular headers. I can think of at least one.

my own kit is gonna have ac

Ha ha, but do you dare go there...

:lol:


Nope. :D

Find a used Incon kit. Cast manifolds, very durable.

I never undetstood why anyone with an Incon would want to sell their Incon.

While I'm pondering life's mysteries, I continue to be perplexed trying to understand how no one has emulated the design, i.e. the low hanging twins, etc. and come out with a "copy."

:confused:

Incon is the only one I would think about for keeping the AC.All the others require running pipes under the subframe.Would rather loose the AC than have pipes under the frame :)

#cough# STS has the same prob

THat is why I ditched the STS and am doing a custom rearmount...
