Another New Turbo Build
Another New Turbo Build Well, I've been working on this setup for awhile now just haven't posted it up on ls1tech until now. Here's my setup:
Engine:
LS6 Block
Forged diamond dish pistons
317# Truck Heads
Forged Eagle H-beam rods
ARP mainbolts
LS6 intake
60# injectors
Granatelli GM722-2 Fuel Pump
High volume ported LS6 pump
MLS 5-layer gaskets
ARP Studs
Turbo setup:
Copycat kit
all coated & wrapped
Master Power T70 turbo
-4an feed from thing above oil filter
custom made 1" drain to front of oil pan underneath timing cover
38mm WG
Custom alt relocation bracket
Oil feed above oil filter
Oil drain in front of oil pan lip
Exhaust:
3" downpipe, 3" i-pipe, 3" QTP cutout, 3" Magnaflow
Pictures (I'll update more as I get'em)
-------------------------------------
Homemade intercooler spray:
So pretty much car is done just intercooler piping. Car runs, drives, checked all the major problem areas with the P*K kits and addressed issues that other users have had. I run a high volume ls6 pump and have no problem with overpreassurizing the turbo, drain is a 1" made from household piping found at home depot.

I have been toying with buying that kit to keep as spare parts for mine
What kind of motor mounts did you end up going with? After 6K miles or so on my setup, the streering shaft going down to the rack has had it's inner rubber bits burn out and have slop that cannot be removed by tightening hardware any longer. I just got a tubular K member this week, and I got a great deal on a flaming river manual rack and steering shaft. Tired of the PS pump constantly weeping around the cap even with pipes wrapped.
Good work so far, looks nice. How does the quality of those parts look to you? They are a great deal.

glad to see it come together.
what issues have you had with the knockoff kit? any insight on that?
so are there two versions, the SSAC and yours plus the original version?

Verdad Gallardo Also smokinhawk, i'm having problems with the belt again, as the tensoner won't fit where your bracket puts it anymore due to the turbo stuff bein there, do you have anything else that places the tensioner there? it has to be in that area cuz the belt would interfere with the piping. (i just rememberd that while typing this)

it is made to work with the truck manifold setup for sure, but it might not work with that particular kit dont know for sure. get me some pictures and let me know and we will work something out.
haha thanks for reminding me, yeah i have to pick one up. recommend any sites?
sure man, it's really just a piece of aluminum i had left over from mounting my intercooler and i copied the idea from a friend. it's not the cleanest appearing but it does its job hah. but sure ill take more pics.
