Why did you decide on Turbonetics? I've always heard/seen those as overpriced, underperforming turbos.yeah I dunno, I am not really familiar with turbonetics either.... I just did alot of research before buying and the TC's are the rave over in the LSX world.
I guess we will see
but to get a turbo like this with whatever turbine you want, whatever turbine housing you want, anodized compressor backing plate, and polished compressor housing all for $995 seems like a bargin to me

You have all kinds of room in there. Axle meet turbo, junkyard meet axle.

do you have a manifold(s) made for it yet? VERY NICE!using the c6 corvette manifolds forward and down like they already are in the pics. All i need is to do is fab is a SS hotside from the manifolds to the turbo, and DP.... so not much

im more or less working on mine. if ordering parts and stuff counts as working on it. i cant really do much when i dont have an actual shell to work on, but that should change once i go home for harvest, there is one im going to look at and if its not a rust bucket i'll more that likely buy it and start ording more stuff from granny's
i cant wait to see what this car runs at the track, BA!

haha, ordering a bunch of stuff and having a nice big pile of parts is half the fun
hold out and get a good shell, it will be worth it
excited about mine, heck i am excited to see what you will do.... I really want to see someone do a bigger all motor lsx setup on one of these cars...
just knowing how this 6.0 acts, being only NA with only mild NA parts makes me curious to see what a a stroked HC ls2/ls3 variant with a really big cam/heads/intake would do in NA form on these cars...500-550rwhp would easy enough too achieve
it would be sick... get to it

lol i know, i cant wait for the actual build to begin. 10.8:1 408 and some l92 heads to start with, maybe upgrade to some trick flows or afrs, we will see when it comes to it i guess.
i really want a white turbo 11 or gtu, but am looking for just about any nice rust free rolling shell with interior. i would prefer white but will take whatever as long as its not red.
but anyways enough about mine, what else you got for yours? FMIC? water/meth?

that def sounds like a plan to me, haha
I am not running any IC and my static CR is 10.2..... going to run on e85 and see what it will do
I am just not a fan of a2a IC's for some reason
hopefully under 10psi will get me to my goal and will work with e85, if not i have the meth system still on the car, haha

acquiring some more parts
plumbing stuff, and a ATI balancer. IT is only 5.5" instead of OEM 7.5" and doesn't have the AC pulley. They get enough money for those stupid things
It will give me a ton of room for the oil return on the turbo, since i am going to dump into the timing cover, plus i will need a SFI approved balancer
-
Nice! so you are not going to run ac? thats one of my goals, to keep ac and powersteering, ill just move the alt to the trunk if i need to..lol

buy a fucking intercooler. non intercooled is gay unless you're running methanol for fuel.
