Default Quad turbo Ls1

Hello,

I don't know how many times or if this has been done before, but I plan on quad turbo'ing an Ls1. I am not doing for the horsepower but the sound and pretty much just for the hell of it. My plan was to use 4 small turbo's. I'm new to the displacement world but the car is going to be a renegade porsche 968 ruinning a ls2 gto 6 speed tranny and street tires staggered 11 x 19 and then 9.5 x 19.

What turbos do you reccomend me using, how much boost and what should I do to the ls1 so it can take it internally/intake ect...

don't worry about the network of piping, I can make it fit.

thanks, drew

That was my old setup that when I ran low 3's in the quater. I ditched it in favor of my new octi-turbo setup that should put me in the 2's.

You could do 2 in the engine bay then 2 rear mounts? OR strap a rocket to the back of your car and be done!!

Can't imagine why they would have problems with a setup that simple.

Good luck; not only with the tuning, but trying to fit that beast in a porche.. Ha, if I were you, I'd be just as concerned with the size of your tires as the brand of your turbo's. !!!!!
