And so it begins, C8 twin turbo kit at ECS

Most of the kit has been CAD'd already and is going into production. I don't know exactly how long this will take to be able to sell, but our goal is a 50 state legal turbo kit that you can bolt-on, download a tune file and go.I'll update this thread as we progress.

You'll need to add one of these to the C8 kit! :D

Oh my, I am going to want one of these.

Any estimate on rwhp?

Any idea of potential tuning options, fueling? Thoughts on the strength of the internals vs the LT1 cars?

I’m curious too. How are you handling the tuning side of this?

Sent a PM guys

I would assume they are not tuning it at this point. Race gas and a stock tune on 4-5psi might work until tuning is available to turn it up.

All questions I will happily answer as we generate the answers, thanks for the interest!

Hi Doug and team,
Something of interest would be to understand how compatible the LT4 or aftermarket LT-style motors are with all the rest of the C8 bits. For those going FI, buying a complete swap-in setup like that might be preferable to upgrading the LT2's internals.

The tuning part is what really interests me I know it will make power and sound great

how about a halltech or other aftermarket computer to add another set of injectors like the lt5 did?

the factory computer likely will still complain but you could use another standalone with wide band to give more fuel for the turbos

unlocking the global b isn't in the cards yet

torque limitations in the factory computer will still be an issue.

let’s give Dave Steck a chance. :cheers:

even when it gets unlocked and it will you know how much they are going to charge for a tune?

I’d guess $3k. $2500-ish in hardware, then labor. Fair price for an “uncrackable” ECU. :thumbs:

:lurk: I’m looking forward to the results!

From what I have read, the DCT is the weak link, as it's not able to take a whole lot more torque than stock. Of course like with cracking the ecm, all it takes is time and money, probably LOTS of it.

We are already on that! We are working with some DCT pro's to beef it up.

Will you offer any warranty on engines with the kit installed? Do you plan testing to determine the effects on engine longevity?

why should they?
