1st gen - ls - TwinTurbo - w/AC

[duckmanjbr]

Before I go all overboard and jump down a rabbit hole of measuring the entire front end I figured I'd ask to see if anyone else has gone here. I've seen a bunch of TwinT setups here on the forum but have yet to see one w/AC. W/out ditching the fender wells all together has anyone fit a TT setup in a 1st gen F-body and had an AC? If so what LS bracket setup did you use and what was your basic layout? My car is ready to pop it's head out of paint jail by xmas and then it's a few months of motor setup! I was hoping to do a small TT setup but AC is not an option, it's a necessity, as I plan on driving the car and not just showing it. It also doesn’t help I live in the muggiest place on the planet second only to the rain forest in the summer! Who has all this fitment knowledge already?

this was in a 64 Chevelle, but would have fit a first gen Camaro also. I used the Vintage air system, worked great.

Wow that looks great! I tried to find some info on the site but I only saw some WILD pics! LOL Are those 1-off headers you used or off the shelf items?What is the turbo and blow off valve combo? Also, I haven't seen to many inverted turbo setups. Did you have any issues w/ oil drain back to the pan since they're inverted? BTW, Thanks for the response. This is exactly what I was looking for!

those headers came from Tom Nelson racing. The turbos are Precision 6776RE liquid cooled ball bearing turbos, the wastegates are Tial 38mm I think. Blowoff was a single 44mm Tial. Turbos can be clocked 360 degrees, so I have the inlets clocked to what fit best for the car and air filters I used, and in the center section the oil drain is still the normal in at the top, drain out the bottom like any other turbo.

Damn that is one sick TT setup. Props to ya...

Jody, Thanks for the info! This gives me some direction and some insight to getting my setup done. Hopefully I'll have something working in a few!

thanks Matt. It was a lot of fun, and the car was so subtle outside people were shocked when the hood was opened.

Very nice, Jody! I also see some things I'm going to pay the ultimate compliment to by shamelessly copying them

I have been debating where to put the LS2 truck coils and your solution is very sano.

perfect, I do the same. If I see a better way to do something I adopt it.

That is SUPER clean...

That engine looks awesome. Very clean turbo setup

[camcojb]

thanks guys, that was my favorite car. Wish I still had it.

My turbo setup isn't as high qaulity as the one posted here on the chevelle but I could run a low mount ac compressor on mine if I wanted to. I just haven't had the funds for AC yet. I have plenty of room low.

I like it. Very neat and detailed. Tough to get twin turbos to look clean, there's a lot going on. You did a very nice job.

thank you Ed.

Looks great! What hydroboost/master setup is that?

Paul at Hydratech custom made that one for me. His booster with a Viper master. That master is shorter than the normal ones he uses and gave me the extra room I needed for exhaust clearance.

Thanks for the info, that's a nice looking setup.
