I like that Kenny. "Do it right or do it twice"

 

turbo work is gonna be big bucks. if you wanna boost, a supercharger is better on budget. or you could always cheapout and spray

 

screw the LT1, buy a honda

 

im sorry, but im going to disagree with scott...on just about everything.

the 60-1 is small for our cars...im sure the exhaust wheel wasnt meant for the air a 350 will push either.

mounting a turbo in the engine bay isnt hard, but its timely and some fab work needs to be done. if you sit it right in front of the opti. screw the FMU, i hate those damn things, do it right, get injectors and tuned.

if your wanting to do a DIY type kit. youll need:

350 - intercooler
700 - turbo (if you can get decent size, thats internally gated, go for it, save money)
150 - piping
50 - BOV
25 - driver side exhaust manifold flange
20 - 4-1 3" collector
15 - flange for turbo
50 - couplers
50 - steel braided line for oil and/or coolant
60 - 3Bar MAP
500 - injectors and pump

and hopefully you know how to weld. and run the piping to the collector and mate up the stock Y to the new driver manifold


the list i initially gave you was so you could do it right and not worry about the rear and such breaking on you.


btw, if its a stock cam, and he made 342, ask him if the heads were milled down and figure out the compression ratio. the thing about the LT1's is the rings are shit, and blowby becomes a problem on boosted cars.

 

haha , the hell with hondas , i cant stand rice.....All im really looking for is that 450 to 500 range.. Your right , James at RR is a ford guy , but no matter what kinda work ive gone through him for , he has done his best to satisfy me , and stand behind his jobs 100%.. those are the kinda people i give my business to... as far as that Rear HD2 set up , im going to look into that a bit further , cause i am not to familiar with it... but thanks for the info man , i appreciate it

this guy started out with a 60-1 turbo and it worked alright for him..
putting a turbo kit together is the easy part, the hard part is getting it to run with your motor.. make sure you get that bitch dyno tuned by the best of the best, especially if you piece your own kit together

and kenny, i was just going by the assumption that this guy is like 99 percent of the people on here that cant weld or fabricate and that he isnt looking to make insane power

 

+1 not everyone is looking to turn their daily driver into a race-gas only track car

 

making power is the easy part. making it half way useable and keeping the driveline is the hardpart.

FI is rocket science... just build a nice N/A motor.
