Turbo build pics....Finally!
 

Here is what some of you have been waiting for. I'll get more pics when I get it on the lift again. Keep in mind everything isn't complete. I still have to install all my T-bolt clamps on the intake piping, coat the turbo housing, puke tank, meth inj and a few other small items. It isn't tuned well yet since I had to send my LC-1 to Innovate to get it fixed. The Analog outputs aren't working so I can't interface it with HPT. Here is some of the specs:

-364 ci 6.0L Diamond pistons 8.9:1, LQ9 rods with ARP bolts(balanced of course)
-317 6.0 heads which I ported myself, moderate port job.
-223/219 .575 .524 114 lsa Custom ground Cam Motion
-Parish's old 6.0 turbo manifold with PT76-GTS turbo and 24x12x4" core size FMIC(ebay special).
-JGS Magnum 44 wastegate & Turbosmart BOV
-T-56 trans with Centerforce DF 12" clutch (hate the clutch, it has to go soon)

Before too long I'll get it to the dyno. Busy working right now. I still have the interior to finish. Copying retsell's console/shifter install. I'll post more pics as I get things done.
Keep in mind that this installation was for functionability and not show quality by any means. It is quick and easy that many of you could replicate at your house. I would have built my own turbo manifold but this one came up for sale and I couldn't pass it up due to the time savings.

Special thanks to Jose and Jason @ Forcedinductions.com for gathering some of my parts, advice, and helping me with a little TIG welding I needed done!

Looking real good!

Thanks for the pics

Very nice Mark. Congrats! Now lets see some times. What are your goals out of this project?

Looks really cool!!! I bet that turbo with the stick shift behind it will be fun. I noticed you used a different FMIC then I believe you originaly intended to use. Any reason why? I was thinking about possibly using something like that for my truck.

In time. It needs some 4.11's bad. The 3.73's and 31.5" tires aren't a good combo with that 2.66 1st gear. It is a little laggy for obvious reasons. It is a blast in 2nd and 3rd though. I run 28" dot slick which will help some.
My goals are a fun to drive daily driver. You won't be seeing me try to break any track records or anything. It is my primary mode of transportation. I used to have a 2000 C5 Z51 package vette so this it my truck and it merged into one, and then some :devil:

I just used what was cheap and what worked. I think the intercooler was something like $175 shipped. Not sure what to do with my meth kit now. on a 60-130 3rd gear pull my IAT's only rose from 82* to 91* :eek2: That sure beats the 170*+ temps I used to see with the Radix.

Nice!!:thumb: I've been waiting for this:D

So you went to an LS6 manifold? What fuel rails are those? Looks like you converted to the car rails etc?

It is an LS1 intake and fuel rail. 60lb siemens injectors, 255lph fuel pump with MSD voltage booster. I mainly went with the LS1 intake to clean up under the hood a little. The truck intakes are just ugly.

nice :hail: :eek2:
