So i habe quite a few question but my first one will be has anyone done a remote mount turbo system setup right after the headers i was thinking right under the car maybe a foot or 2 away from the hwaders basically under your seats then exhaust coming out the side like a viper instead of full exhaust back im not worried about emmisions or anything in florida nor is the car going to street driven as often as it might his seabring or daytona or even homestead im in the south florida area looking for info on doing a twin set twin cooled right from the headers. Of courae all wrapped and blankets to keep max heat i want to boost good. Atleadt 7 or 8 ib.forged piston and the right rod length to get a lower compression for bost i know what is required for the build but would like ti know if anyone had info on the build what routes they took and how many miles they might have done before any issues came up what issues **** like that tanks fam!! 😊😎
Have you looked under your car? There is hardly enough room for some 2.5inch round pipe, let alone a turbo. Unless you stuck it all the way in the back where the stock muffler would go. Could cut out a chunk of floor behind the drivers seat and mount em in that void. Plenty of people have fit twins under the hood of these cars, turbo k member and stand up radiator will get you lots of room under the hood.

thank you for pointing out i kinda understand where your coming from and honestly i had to beat the **** out of the underneath of my car just to fit 3 inch collectors and a y pipe under there but i would have to make because no one sells turbo headers that point forward and there would be a ton of heat already under that non vented hood though i plan on making carbon fiber vents but if you could give me more information i would be interested in forward headers and fitting twins up front id like to know as much and i can because i want boost and im willing to stick with the lt1 iron block and build it right.
I can't quite decide if the original post is a joke or not. On the one hand, it's hard for me to imagine an F-body with side pipes and turbos under the seats......But anyone capable of correctly sizing their rods to lower compression for boost must really know their stuff. lol

i asked for info and thats all i want not feed back about my post i nees to know how to turbo my car have you done it i believe that a remote mount turbo system can be just as efficient as a front mount just as long as the heat from the exhaust gets to the turbo and the heat doesnt cause a catastrophy under the hood where it will get plenty hot in a bad way im not trying to sufficate the turbos and the way the 4th gen fbody is the air to cool goes underneath much netter if you dont habe a ram air like i dont your right i dont know everything i need to know but i know i need to lower my compression and i know i need to keep the heat to a minimal under the hood but a max to the turbos do you habe info for me or not?
I'm still wavering between this being a joke or not. heh.. I'm not trying to be mean, but is English not your primary language?
To answer your questions...Yes, I own a front mount turbo F-body. Turbos will not fit under the seats of the car unless you lift the vehicle a foot or more off of the ground. If you are only running 7-8lbs of boost then I wouldn't bother with lowering the compression. I also wouldn't worry about under hood heat for that amount of boost.
Oh Chad i SPEAK perfect english i may not type it but hey these fingers habe a mind o

Well you have an lt1 car with a front mount turbo ok then this should be easy to get information off of you and yes english is my primary language i speak no other languages but these fingers do the typing im not going to proof read what i write before i send it im not that commited to the reply and no there is no joke here i was asking a serious question i wanted viper exhaust kind of setup the old school way out the sodes cus ******* badass just saying and under the seats seemed in my honest opinion only place to fit the turbos underneath because i dont want boost lag i do not want to have the exhaust all the way in the back. I know header wrap and turbo blankets would help with the lag too but i also want to habe boost in my low end not soo late if you get what im saying then lets get last my idea lets get to how you did your set up im not huilding a drag car and im not going to cut anything in the frame what so ever i want as much of my car as possible and i definitely want to road course track days now you know where i want to be tell me how you got what i want boost up front so no lag tell me what i need. Hmm i would like to expertise. Again not being sarcastic im serious im not going for major power ether thats why i want low boost i want consistent power. Tell me how to get to my goals to boost the lt1 how you would. For what i want.
Honestly, you seem like a novice when it comes to a performance build. Based on your goals, you're better off with an NA build. Do a 383 stroker with a Lloyd Elliot head/cam combo. You'll have gobs of power on demand and are free to set up the exhaust however you want it without dicking with turbo piping. If you're dead set on boost, just get a P1SC supercharger, then run your exhaust however you want it.
Here's a front mount turbo, in an LT car, with a turbo k member, and stand up radiator...granted it's LS swapped but the room and principle are the same...
OP, go to a junkyard, and buy a scrap turbo off a PSD/Cummins/Dmax.
Get your car up on stands, and see where that turbo would have a chance of fitting under the car. Then report back.
As pointed out you can run the STS butt mount setup and chase leaks/bumps/etc, or you can run a proper front mount. Either way, you are talking 4-5k for just the turbo setup.
I am a novice in the turbo fbody world but i do not want a stroker especially for track days like i said not building a strip car building a road course car though i like the idea of small cam i reall just want to habe boost from a turbo a consistent amount of boost that way my motor stays healthy. I dont get why people find it so hard for my idea to be real lol but ok front mount turbo set up im not ls swapping im sticking with the lt motor maynebits a similar consept except a few things wjere the parts would be very different as in habe you ever seen a turbo kmember for the lt1 if so id like to. Know more why is it such a problem to find info theres always just people trying to talk **** instead of giving me the info i asked for lol. Ive built chevy motors before and na power is great for the demand but its not what im looking for and i really can care less about most peoples opinions unless they have reasoning. But ill juat look more into fonding parts to build a front mount tt setup for low boost. Thanks guys very much you have no been that helpful but i appreciate the try.
These are the best pictures i have found of a front mount set up lt1 before they are thrown in the car which honestly looks beautiful like i would love to build something that perfect
Does someone know of turbo headers and or turbo k members for the lt1 specific im quite sure id habe to make my own headers obviously because ive never seen anyone selling some.
