Twin Turbo ZO6 by Speed Inc.
I'm starting the twin turbo build on my ZO6 so I thought I would post some pics and info. I will scale the car before/after to have an exact weight difference.
Here is the basic parts list-
427ci engine, World Warhawk block, LS7 crank, Callies compstar rods, CP pistons (coated), pvd coated stainless top ring/ductile second ring, coated bearings.
ETP LS7 heads, 6 bolts per cyl, PSI valvesprings, Xceldyne retainers/locks, Smith Bros pushrods, LS7 rockers w/harland sharp bearing upgrade, Comp Cam hyd roller, Morel link bar lifters. LS7 intake manifold.
Modified LS7 oil pan w/extra pickup going to external -12 a/n port. Internal volume reduced. Belt driven 3 stage external pump. 2 stages for turbo scavenging, 1 larger section as an additional scavenge stage to the engine (hence the extra pickup in the pan).
APS twin turbo system w/ceramic coated manifolds and turbo housings.
McLeod RXT twin disc clutch and Quick time bellhousing.
Driveshaft shop axles/hubs, diff output shafts, driveshaft.
RPM Level 5 T6060 Thanks RPM!!!
Eboost 2 controller w/gear based boost control.
HP tuners 2.5bar Speed Density operating system.
I'll update this thread with info and pics as the build continues.

Thanks guys. As far as the eboost2 look under the "switch logic" section of the manual.
You can have 4 set points triggered by external switches. Basically I'm going to build a mount for microswitches that are triggered by the shifter which will allow a different boost level for each gear.

Can't wait to see fuel system details!!

Sounds like an awesome build.
However, isn't that Warhawk block a little much for those little APS turbos? I could see if you were doing a custom kit with some 76's. But those GT35R's won't be able to push more than high 9's to 1k at the tire on a 427.
Just wondering if you were planning on custom fabbing a kit for this motor in the future since it was such a crazy build?

The warhawk block probably wasn't necessary but I really like the idea of 6bolts/cyl and prefer overkill to marginal.
There have been a few cars built with the APS ZO6 twins that made over 1000rwhp at 16-17psi boost so it seems to be very efficient and likely capable of 1100 at the tire.. It helps that aps makes their own housings and chose a large 1.06 exhaust a/r.
