My Twins are finally up and running!!

[nitrorocket]

Well, I am running! Pretty good too! I have yet to get it to the track and have only used 10 lbs of boost, but this thing is FAST! Last year all motor I was going 123 in the quarter. From my street blasts, I would say I am sitting at around the 130-135 mph range with 10 psi. That is my best guess with my butt-o-meter.

I am very impressed with the turbo setup and it is a very well thought out design. Being that this is only a street car, I am wondering if I should turn up the boost. I am sitting at abut 11:1-11.2:1 AFR with 17 degrees of timing.

Damn that looks bad ass. Think of getting the headers hpc/jet hot coated?

Where did you mount the coil packs? Fender well?

[nitrorocket]

I probably will not coat the headers. Not yet anyway. I mounted the coil pacs under the headers.

Thanks for the compliments!

[Prince Valiant]

I never thought I'd see a *great* looking LS series engine...I have now been proven wrong :thumbsup

What's that chevelle weigh? Have you changed anything to the motor since the NA set-up? Hell, what is the build in the first place for those of us who may have missed it in a previous post?

[nitrorocket]

whats with the police car in the last one??

That's at the Solid Gold McDonald's DARE car show a couple weeks back, they parked right next to me!!

car looks sweet and with power plant i could just imagine how fast it is... hows the traction with the TT setup bet that car is a blast to drive...

[nitrorocket]

The car weighs about 3700 without driver. I sold the 427" tall deck 18 degree fuel injected small block in it last year. Way to pricey. This motor is a stock ls1 engine with a few upgrades like ported heads and aftermarket rods and pistons. I won't bore you with the details.

The car hooks much better then it did with the 427. I am hoping for a 60' in the 1.55 range on 17" drag radials. I guess I'll have to wait and find out.

Thanks for all the compliments!!

I saw your car a while back at that car show in Burlington. I was really suprised to see a twin turbo LS1 under the hood. Nice car.

Actually, that wasn't me, I've never been to a car show in Burlington with the car. It's only been done for the last couple weeks, had to Solid Gold and Georgie Porgies and that's it so far.

[98whitegpgt]

Damn, Nice clean job

[Yooformula]

Holy crap that looks great! I cant wait to see it on the road.

[Lash]

Awesome!!!!

Nuff said.

[ponyride00]

With your AF the way it is now I would crank it up or add a little more timing. You are very safe. Especially with forged internals. 15psi would probably feel pretty good. Set it up so youre right around 12.0-1 AFR.

[WilliamZ]

Wow that looks fcking awesome! :thumbsup

so there is another white Chevelle with a twin turbo LS1? I just figured it was you because it looked to be set up the same and it's not like you see a combo like that to often.

[jbiscuit]

WOW! Nice set up Scott. Sorry the weather wasn't our side this weekend...we'll get some shots taken! And you can bet we are getting some under the hood shots! Awesome man! :stare :drool: :shades

[Cryptic]

car looks beautifull :thumbsup

[TransAm12sec]

I saw your post on ls1tech, I didn't know you were in the Milwaukee area.

Very clean.

[nitrorocket]

Yep, I am local. What other twin turbo cars are there? I heard of a mopowered regal, and saw a 55 chevy. There sure arent many? :confused

[turbogarrett]

:drool: Awesome car! Did you fab the headers yourself?

[nitrorocket]

Yes, I fabbed the headers myself.

[Syclone0044]

Yep, I am local. What other twin turbo cars are there? I heard of a mopowered regal, and saw a 55 chevy. There sure arent many? :confused There's a Mopar big block twin turbo EFI Cutlass that I took pictures of here: http://www.brewcitymuscle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9003 that rumor has, runs high 8s. That yellow TopStreet 78 Chevy Truck has a twin turbo small block (http://www.top-street.com/projectchevy.html). I can think of a handful of fast Stealth/3000GTs (http://www.brewcitymuscle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9389), an F40 etc. but you probably didn't mean factory turbocharged cars :)

PS: Nice looking motor under the hood! Wish I had that much room to work on mine! :D
