Twin Turbo C3 build
For anyone thats interested - Iam doing a twin turbo C3 build - pics below
Tech details - engine - LSX B-15 crate engine from GM Gearbox - Tremec T56 magnum CTS- V - accessory drive kit from GM Engine mounts - ICT engine swap plate and energy suspension motor mounts(without preload plate - dropped the engine a extra 10mm by not using plate - energy suspension said it was ok to run like that) This thread covers it all in detail - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ne-mounts.html Steering - Steeroids rack system - there is a ton of room between the oil sump and rack, engine is mounted as low as possible(if i tried to go any lower the oil pan would be scraping off the road) - the key here is the choosing a slim oil pan, i used the holley oil pan- it still has a good capacity, but is really slim at front, comes with drain holes for turbos link- https://www.holley.com/products/acce...ns/parts/302-3 Headers - stainless steel works headers 1 - 7/8 tubes - 3 inch outlet - not cheap - but vastly thicker metal compared to cheap versions Turbo's - borg warner s362 fmw twins Radaitor - will use my dewitts rad, will need to layed forwards and flater Intercooler - will us my old procharger one for now Holley EFI system - dominator ecu - holley loom etc https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...4f3a82f856.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...5bd7d8c156.jpg |

Looking good, man. Keep the photos and tech details coming. :thumbs:

I was watchiing Engine Masters and looking at all the turbo combinations and was just wondering how it would fit. Particularly the accessory drives, intercooler radiator and exhaust routing. Now I will know. Good luck and I'll be following along. Thanks in advance for the info

Looking good! Keep feeding us the details!

Impressive! Keep us posted for sure :cool::lurk:
|
I pity your tires..........
|
That should be all questions answered so far - on my 1st post - ask anything you like - cheers guys
|
Looks great!! Looking forward to progress.
It's a tight squeeze as you've already figured out. On my single front turbo, I had to optimize the space up front. What are the two holes for in the front? Where are you going to route the exhaust? |
new progress - turbo downpipes/exhausts tacked together - 3 inch pipe - you cant get the downpipes to be 100% symmetrical in the engine bay, because the way the engine sits towards the passenger side, ive mounted the turbos slightly higher, to allow me to use 45 degree bends, for best exhaust flow, wanted to avoid 90 degree bends etc, they will stick out of bonnet, some advantages to that better engine bay cooling, nice fresh cool air coming into turbos and better exhaust flow, which equals to more power lol

Keep the pictures coming!! What are your plans on the hood going to be? Love this project!!

Nice. Turbos sticking out of the hood are definitely an eye catcher.

Where are you going to route the exhaust? holes in front for more engine bay cooling, when i had procharger fitted see new pics for exhaust routing |
