LT1 turbo setup
LT1 turbo setup LT1 Hotparts and a JGS wastegate for sale. A quick rundown of the specs of the hotparts:
stock LT1 cast manifolds
2.5" mild steel cross over pipe
3" DP with wastegate dump
Comes with JGS 40mm wastegate with I THINK a 6psi spring
I built most of this kit almost a year ago and finished the wastegate portion 4 months ago. The person I built it for cant seem to come up with the money for the remaining balance. I am going to see this kit outright so I can give him back his deposit.
BTW, this as my second kit I made, so the welds arent the prettiest, and I ground some down for looks.
This is a race type setup. You loose your A/C and you will DEFINITELY have to stand the radiator up vertical and go with different fans. This setup should have no problem supporting 600rwhp with a T76 and built motor, and I wouldnt be surprised if you saw 700rwhp with an M6 tranny. You may have to make a dent on the DP where it passes by the steering shaft. You will probably have to delete your oil cooler and plug the hole on the water pump. If you dont want to plug the hole, leave the nipple in, slip on a short piece of hose and plug the other side with a bolt or something. Here are some pics of the build. I am making a jig this weekend to pressure test it for leaks and grind down some welds. Here are some old pics I took awhile ago. The price is $1450 shipped to your door. Any questions please email me at jrbellas95z28@yahoo.com as my inbox fills up quick.

No I didnt. This was built for someone else, but $$ issues is preventing him from paying the balance. If I sell it to someone else, I wil refund him what he already deposited.
I am making some jigs this weekend to pressure test the parts before shipping.

Thanks Justin.
Yeah, the radiator will need to be stood up vertical (so you will need to buy a shorter radiator (height wise). Here is a link showing how to do it on an LT1:
