Default Twin Turbo System available.

For those who havn't kept up with the original thread, we have one of our Twin Turbo systems available. It is on the shelf ready to go out for coating.

This is our 3rd production system. The prototype was done on my own car, one was sent to a customer and one is currently being installed in-house. The production systems are the same as the prototype pics, except the headers are built with more sweeping bends/intersections for better flow.

For more info reference these threads-

Any questions, pm/email me, or call Speed Inc. at 847-891-0767

-Jim

I dont believe they sell a "shelfed" LT1 kit, similar to this LS1 setup - but Im sure the boys at Speed Inc could fab you up a similar system to what Jims running. And being he's a rolling test-bed for TT-LT1s, Im sure you'd want his expertise.

Jim, keep up the great work. I wish I had the coin layin around to pickup this kit...

Thanks guys,

and Ling_650vette, you are correct, I have not (and probably won't) build fixtures to replicate the LT1 system, but I could replicate it on a vehicle if someone wanted.

How much would it cost to replicate your turbo LT1 system ? Assuming you had the car at your disposal.

That KIT is the best piece of ART WORK I think I have ever seen!!!

I like the all BLACK LOOK.

Can this kit be modified a little ???

Can the pipe coming from the inner cooler to the throttle body be moved so it comes out the top of cooler, instead
of the side ?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Goals for this system are-

-800-900rwhp with fast spool

-No relocation or removal of accessories. All accessories, cooling system components and plastic shrouds, battery, etc, remain in the stock location.

-No blockage of cooling system airflow by intercooler.

-Gravity drain turbos

-Ease of maintenance and spark plug changes.

Parts used are-

-GT35R turbochargers (which are ball bearing) with 5-bolt t3 precision exhaust housings and To4e compressor covers. GT30R's will also be a direct bolt in.

-2 Tial 38mm wastegates (which will be re-routed), 1 Tial BOV

-All components are 16 ga mild steel to be ceramic coated inside and out or powdercoated (cold side).

-The system was built around a BMR tubular K-member and CSR starter.

-Precision intercooler. I looked at the chinese ones at 1/3 the cost, but did not like the quality. (also, the bumper support must be removed for installation)

I wanted to build another car that made 800+rwhp, capable of running in the 9's and also reliable enough to drive anywhere (as with my LT1). The manifolds are of a "log" type design, but their swept construction should improve flow over a traditional piece. That, and the T3 exhaust housings were the compromises to power that I made in return for packaging and ease of maintenance. After making some progress on this system I, and Dan (whom I work with at speed) decided to reproduce these systems to be sold exclusively through Speed Inc.

Systems include-
Fabricated Manifolds
Y-pipe (3.5in outlet)
Induction tubing (inlet and pressure)
threaded IAT sensor
Precision Intercooler
Intercooler mounting brackets
Silicone connectors
Constant tension clamps
Polyurethane motor mounts
BMR radiator shroud
CVR Starter and heat shielding
oil feed/drain fittings/hose
2- 38mm tial wastegates
2-K&N air filters
1- Tial BOV
Ceramic coated hot side, powder coated cold side
Wastegate ports in turbine housings machined/enlarged

With

GT35R ball bearing turbochargers- $9,250

PT67 P-trim ball bearing turbochargers- $9,050

PT300-6152 61mm standard bearing turbochargers- $8,350


The K-member is not included. I am not accepting orders for the system as I cannot guarantee a delivery date. They are being made available upon completion, and each system takes approx 2-3 weeks to complete.
Also, no deposits will be taken for this system. It will only be sold when they are ready to ship.
