Hey guys thinking about doing a DIY turbo kit next summer since I recieved $5000+ in scholarships for next semester

Probably thinking about rear mount since I don't want to back track and get front mount turbo headers

looking for 5-7psi set up due to stock short block

looking for something to spool super quick like around 1500rpms -6000rpms

60mm? Will wrap the exhaust to help spool time as well

my cam wont be the best turbo cam but should be better than stock and mimic the ls6 cam

210/218 .584/.584 116Lsa

 

Why not 15-17psi? Lol....stay posted. Will have pictures of my custom kit up in a few weeks.

 

Yeah pics. That way I can steal..errr I mean borrow some of your ideas and whatnot.

 

I plan on a diy twin turbo hot side here over the next few weeks myself

 

Im in for pics I was thinkn a turbo at the collecotr from ypipe

 

turbo after y pipe collector....that sounds like a great place to mount a DIY rear mount turbo haha

thinking of doing a low boost, most fuel efficient build. If I could somehow get 30mpg out of a 5.3L 2wd ..........I will never need a non v8car

 

Now ur thinkn its been done but im wondering if need a oil return pump being that far away

 

If mounted at the y pipe? Yes... You will need one.

 

Awesome been wondering about it seems about the easiest way to put one in

 

For sure, pretty easy hot side haha. On tech a guy named denmah did it on a brand new nnbs work truck, got it running out pretty good too, don't know if you seen it, but its got a few pictures of how he mounted it.
