Considering the IPS twin turbo - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

wutshotDJroomba · 10-17-2013, 10:29 PM

I have the most base model 2012 V6 offered and it has only the basic bolt ons, ported throttle body, Roto-fab CAI, SLP Loudmouth axle-back... Since I'm going turbo soon, is there anything else I would need outside of what comes included in the basic kit itself? Or will it just bolt-on and run with the tune normally? Anyone else install this one on a 2012 V6 yet, results?

There's welding involved...at least. Not quite as simple as, say, the IPF S/C install.

Are the turbos both coolant and oil fed? Even my engine from a 1988 Mitsubishi Starion that I dropped into my 1987 Dodge Raider is both. I get the impression that these are only oil fed/returned, but I don't really know.

I'd do the twins first. If you do gears first, they may be too much when u do the twins aftet

So far I am inclining to do a S/C because the tuning and the hassle for it to be oil and water cooled and if the turbo messes up you won't be able to drive. If the S/C fails you are still able to drive it.

RS Speedriver · 11-06-2013, 02:20 PM

yea but the twins are designed for a stock ratio are they not. cuz I am putting on 3.91s on

HP Turbine · 11-06-2013, 04:04 PM

I thought about putting 3.45 gears in (well full rear cradle swap) I think the biggest I would attempt would be 3.73.

I don't think so but I may be wrong soon as my painter get his behind in gear and finish. Putting 3.91 in mine the problem is not the gears but the traction may be a issue.

Quit whining you already know the answer for that problem. Put a longer swingarm on it. LOL

Give me power I'll find a way to make it hook.

I go back and forth on this. It looks like the IPS system puts out some serious power!

RS Speedriver · 11-16-2013, 04:47 PM
