Turbo v6, my ideas and hopes

[Scottydc]

An update on this, I'm still in the process of acquiring parts. The turbo is in, I also got a 50mm waste gate that came in yesterday. This is a big turbo and can easily supply the little boost that I want for this engine, thus the larger wastegate.. I've read that people have been successful spooling this turbo with motors even smaller than mine. The map seems to support this, but reality will tell...

Intercooler, piping and a AEM wide band 02 gauge and sensor are on the way.

I have ditched the remote idea, I just don't like the idea of the long oil lines. I'm hoping to score a set of Syclone/Typhoon exhaust manifolds. They are somewhat pricey, and they don't support my LS plans for later, but considering that they are for no longer made limited production vehicles I think if I decide to resell them later it will not be an issue. I'll need an adapter to go from t3 to t4i flange.

Still acquiring parts but I'm getting the big stuff out the way.

Not pictured are a oil line kit, marine intake and an intercooler kit that are still boxed up.

I've decided to use the Marine intake with an lsx throttle body. I won't install this until later in, initially I will install the turbo components and run very low boost with the CPI to see just how much a cpi can get by with and get the turbo setup as good as possible.

I've also found that Wynjammer makes CPI spider injectors that range all the way up to 62lb per hr. So honestly for simplicity sake the whole marine intake route isn't the only option to tune for boost.. But I personally think it's still the best option overall. Not to mention the lowest cost. The wynjammers are expensive. Ranging from 5-800 depending and still internal injectors which are a pain.

Why turbo and not supercharger?
Too simple?

Joo Dun wanna vortec jour vortex?
Wtf
Vortec squared?
Wtf

Stage 1 done, 8 lbs of boost, no intercooler and the cpi manifold with the multi-port upgrade.

Stage two begins this week with the 0411 pcm swap, intercooler, marine intake, 57lb injectors, more boost and tuning..

So badass. Nice job man

Thanks, it'll be much different when I get the fueling whipped into shape to handle more boost.

Awesome. Props for actually following through with the idea and not just being "practical" and throwing a V8 in it!

Where'd you acquire the Marine Intake and the Syclone manifolds? Good to see someone doing something that's not an LS motor for a change

That video excited me ever so slightly also like the custom boos gauge mount lol
