We might use a slightly smaller compressor and see what it will do.

It's 3" hot to 2.5 cold. On3 with the .81 ar turbine housing. Idk how it spools yet, the damn starter broke. I'll keep this updated though. It was a ton more work and materials to make this than my twin setup. I tried to talk him into twins or front mount single but he was dead set on a rear mount.

Good looking build. Seems like these turbo builds are popping up every time I logon now a days. It appears as if turbo builds are surpassing blower builds. I can't wait to see some numbers. RWHP versus ET through the quarter.

His should perform well. Mine does for sure. Spools fast makes great power. Sounds insane!

The only real concern I have is the cam in the car. I'm trying to convince him to swap to an ls6 or ls9 cam. His has way too much positive overlap.

Nice work, Jim. I still remember you telling me the most you would weld for someone else was wall shelving brackets

Almost the same, right??

Now get that starter swapped and let's see some videos!

Idk what I've gotten myself into lol. I have people damn near beating down the door for me to build turbo setups lately. I just installed the starter, the tuner just moved his shop location so they're installing the dyno now. Hopefully some results by next week. At very least a startup video tomorrow. Too late to start it tonight as loud as it is.

I run an ls6 cam, seems to compliment my setup perfectly. I'd like to try an ls9 cam next. His cam is I believe the gx5 something or other. It's an older grind iirc. Definitely not suited for boost though.

I love this build. If I hadn't already bought an UPP kit I'd be next in line at your door...

So brand new 60's stuck open, hydrolocked the cylinder and broke the starter... Starter is replaced, injectors swapped and she fired right up!
