DIY Turbo Kit Finished
DIY Turbo Kit Finished This is the third DIY kit I've built for my '02 Z28. I used a Holset H1E for this build. The stock manifolds are being used right now, but I plan to switch to truck manifolds and 317 heads soon.
A DIY alky injection system turns on at 3psi for intercooling, and tuning is done with HPtuners. I can't get on it right now because I don't have a WB o2 set up yet. I've got the timing pulled way back, and I have fattened it up under PE. I don't see any KR under the light boost. I'm pretty sure I'm safe, but I don't want to take a chance.
I built a frame for my radiator to sit upright and lower. I also relocated the battery to the back. Those mods made plenty of room for the turbo to sit in the engine bay.
I drove round trip 600+ miles to Vegas and back two days after the install and didn't get into to it at all. The most I saw was 3psi at part throttle going up grades. The boost starts to build around 2K RPM and comes in at part throttle.
I can't wait to get my WB so I can tune the AFR and open it up.

I'll get some vids. It makes a high pitched squeek.
It's not as nice as I'd like, but it works I guess.

2: A dump until I get around to finishing it.
3: Check valve at the PCV valve. Blocked the TB port. Valve cover to air cleaner side of turbo.
4: Thank you!

I see you moved the radiator downwards, how's the clearance now?

Acres of room once the radiator is upright and the battery is out of there.
