Spoke to Turbonetics

Ok, for an oil FEED restrictor... I'm running a 1/4 inch feed line to the turbo, and the drain line is a 3/8 inch return connected directly to the Turbowerx Exa Pump scavenge pump, capable of 3 GPM and it then returns to the oil pan. I'm running the factory new ls6 oil pump which runs ~45-60psi I believe.

Word is NO RESTRICTOR necessary. Even on my ball bearing


We will test this and see, I do however believe that we will be fine without.

 

Fuel Lines:
-8 from tank to pump, -6 from pump to Y block, -6 on factory feed to Y block. Pretty much twin -6 feed and single -6 return

 

UPDATES:









Its coming along

 

nice!

 

looks good man, hope to have my sts install done this week..

 

wow!! I just read through all 19 pages...i'm wore out lol..great pics and info..I just bought an STS kit for my 418 stroker '99 Trans-Am...Damnit im excited!!!

 

What size turbo and exhaust housing did you go with?

 

sweeet! Glad that you read all of it, there are some issues pointed out that needed to be addressed. Also, if you get a chance read Zombies thread & Schantins thread. More is better.


It should be in my sig... TC76mm from Turbonetics, 0.81.


Also figured I would throw this in the mix....

Startup

Needs some more magic flashes but its almost there

 

Great build thread, What rear end/gears did you go with? also, do you know what kind of gains you saw with the FAST 90/90 setup, how is response with it compared to other intake setup?

 

3.42 rearend gears. Saw a 14HP and 16TQ overall gain. It was worth going 90/90, however they no longer make that combo, everything is 100+ that I know of now.

She is back from the grave:










damn it is a blast to drive. And let me tell you, the TC76 makes some noise!!! i love it

 

looks like nice work there.
just curious why you didn't tuck the turbo up higher.
from the pics looks like you could have raised it up a few inches.

 

it actually went up a complete inch or so from where I had it, lol. To be able to fit the hose under the axle like we want, it can't go higher. especially with this 12 bolt

 

I will have to re-work that exhaust from the rear hanger to the turbo. It could easily go up another 2 inches.

 

will have some new pictures and probably some new videos shortly.

god the turbo sounds like a freaking jet engine throttling up.

running NO restrictor w/turbowerx exa-pump and 3/8 return line, no problems whatsoever. good straight return path also.

 

Great to see someone else going with a 3.42 gear... that's what I am thinking. I bought a 3.73, but I think it will be too tall, so I am selling it.

 

Clean install man

 

Looks like a pretty nice build!....must sound awesome

 

im torn between d1sc an sts kit =/ such a hard choice
