turbo LT1
 

if you have seen under the hoof on an LT1 you know its packed tight, where can i find or make room for a turbo?

RE: turbo LT1
 

first get rid of the lt1 and put a v-tech in. since the lt1 has too high compression for a turbo you may want to juice it or supercharge it.

RE: turbo LT1
 

I'm going to change my heads to 227 CC, which should lower the compression. Ive also thought about juicing it, right now I'm just looking around.

RE: turbo LT1
 

oooohhhhhhhhh.
dude supercharge it.

RE: turbo LT1
 

i thought about that too. but this is my day to day car. blowers are always in use, as opposed to turbo or NOS that's used when i want it.

RE: turbo LT1
 

nos is like a hot chick with an std, you want to hit it but your gunna regret it lol.

yeah its hard on the piston rigs isn't it?

Aahahahahaahah!!!!

dont go with a turbo. they are way too much work. first with all the plumbing, then the intercooler, also the blowoff vavle. a turbo is nice but since there is no room, and your prolly gunna get one anyways, i saw an episode of horsepower, they took a corvette and put on twin turbo. now what they did was they put the turbos at the rear of the car so they wouldnt take up room by the engine and ran aluminum tubing for the good air all the way to the engine, which also cooled the air therefore eliminating the intercool. it was a huge increase in power too. but like i siad, turbos are nice but if you cant get a kit made for your car, its not worth the frustration trying to make it work.

you could do a remote mount turbo (rear mount), but only if you're looking at just a few pounds of boost (6-10psi). they are VERY streetable because it's mounted so far back, and lag isn't really all that much of a problem with a V8, no matter where the turbo is mounted
