Sneak Peek. LS1 S14 Turbo setup.

[95KA-Turbo]

No, they use Henson's mounting kits.

[Kelly.]

i was trying to avoid buying the hinson radiator kit.

the turbo kit looks good, cant wait to see final numbers

[Gavster]

Very clean! Great job!!

[carnagexxxx]

Wouldn't it be great to have some geezer in a Z06 pull up next to you while riding in this thing? He'd soil his armor.

Keep up the good work!

i lined up against a c6 z06 at the track,
he was on street tires and not a very good driver, but i beat him down the track.
i wish i had it on video

Edit: i have a 408 cu in LSx in my 96 240

[Magical Trevor]

Any updates? I've been an LS1 guy forever, and just recently switched over to the S chassis. I would LOVE to do a turbo LSX in mine.

[redline racer510]

seen the turbokit in jason's white 240sx man that thing is a beast, wow luke didnt know your turbo manifold was going into production I thought it was just a custom piece just for that car??

[s14unimog]

I'm still waiting to see the cross over pipe. Turbonetics makes the single kit for the 350Z, its got the same cross over pipe design as you described; if anyone is curious for comparison.

Very impressed with the fab work good job!!!!

are you going to need a turbo blanket for the coilpack cover?

[Fam0uZ]

that thing is friking siiicckkk niceee i lyk it! =P +1

[TTrx7Pete]

Does the car lose any drivability? Handle well still or has it just become a straight drag car? I enjoy doing road courses, so I'm just curious...

[IntensePower]

CHEE CHEES RICE... that is a beautiful setup and will be one hell of a beast no doubt. Good Gawd sir, it takes quite a bit to impress me and impress you did. Bump for originality and EXCESS POWER!!!!!

[blu808]

Haha, Luke, busting nuts all over the world. I saw this kit in person, it's baller. Turbo setups for the LSx series motors in cramped bays are tricky (that's the biggest reason why centrifugal superchargers are so popular), and Luke really pulled it off.

He's one of the original guys behind Hinson's LSx kits, and has amazing fab skills, so this is no suprise.

Come out with the final pricing Luke!11!one!!1

[fouz]

So, any updates?

I have not had time to pull my car apart to remove the manifold and make a jig. I will be doing so in the fall. The car needs to remain running to finish the rest of the season.

So far the car is making 706 rwp (thats with the tires spinning on the dyno) has 23 events on the setup, including grip driving. The system has not had any issues. The car remains drivable, and response is great. Here are some links.

Just when the ls-1 was not good enough. lol

I tried to pm you but your box is full. I spent a good bit of time searching for info yesterday and seen just about everything you posted on it but still have some questions if you dont mind answering.

1: what is the stock manifold on the driver side?
2: what size is the cross over and DP? IIRC you said 3.5" on the DP?
3: about how much for the pass side manifold when it comes available?

Thx.

Luke is in Buttonwillow for the Redline Time Attack this weekend with Conrad Grunewald's Camaro, hopefully he won't mind me answering these questions to the best of my knowledge.

1) D/S manifold starts small and ends at ~2.5". Each runner's diameter is tuned and the overall diameter is tuned (tuned meaning purposefully chosen).
2) Crossover pipe is 2.5", obviously 2.5" diameter on a 4cyl bank is not a horsepower-limiting factor, he's making very close to 1000hp at the crank. Downpipe has room for 3.5" and I believe that's what he's using.
3) Last we talked about pricing he was interested in selling them as complete kits, but I'm sure once he makes a few manifold he would sell one to you.

Luke pop in here and correct me if I'm wrong on any point.

[TougeLabs]

Count me in Luke, I was just about to start fabbing up some manifolds last week but...as always you nailed it. total for just the manifolds and down pipe ?

[Toddy]

Interested in this. Would like to see a price
