HELP: Issues with Twin Turbos on Stock Engine?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

NORSS426 · 09-17-2010, 03:02 PM

Ok this thread is definitely not to bash twin turbo set ups (because I intend on buying one no matter what), but I'm curious to know some things from experience turbo owners or anybody that has had a TT system on their V8 Camaro.

1. Any issues with the bolt on systems?

2. If there were issues what should/can you do to prevent the issues?

3. Any strongly recommended items that should be bought along with kit to add to the durability and longevity of the LS3 stock engine.

I have a LS3 M6 with no mods (except High Flow Cats, which i know I will have to get rid of when I get twins), and I am looking to get between 550-600 Rwhp (6-8lbs of boost).

I'd appreciate any help you all can give me! If there are any suggestions on a certain brand of system that would be helpful too, just give some good reasoning.

Thanks alot guys!

Just took mine to the dealer ship today for oil change. About after 10 min of sitting in the lobby all the techs come running in asking did i buy my camaro with the turbos like that. I was like no i had it put on. Then they was like it looked stock like I bought it that way. Then they went on how they seen all types of cars with kits but the engine bays looked like hell lol. But any ways they said it looked nice had no problems changing the oil. And no check engine lights and no codes. I run 6psi. I have 3000k on the turbos with no problems. Drives normal and i drive it everyday to work. I personally went with hellion cause they been out awhile. My shop had no problems installing it cause everything fit perfect. Nothing special u need to do just do the regular oil changes and also run the 91-93 gas depending what state u in. If you click the link u can take a look at my set up.

I'm always around to help when I can. I've got my cell phone/email at my hip and many members can vouch that off the clock, I'm always ready to help!

Here is a quick video of our kit. This was the first kit we made and we've made a few changes since this video but you get the idea.

Drop me an email or a phone call if you would like further information- I'd be glad to help

I have a bone stock LS3 with a Hellion twin kit and I love it. I dont have anything extra, just what comes with the kit.

NORSS426 · 09-20-2010, 08:51 AM

bump.....but what other items would be strongly recommended to buy along with the kit? I'm trying to get an exact price estimate.

Boost Controller? Internals? Injectors? Custom Tune? Something else I haven't thought of?

...I want 550-600 Rwhp, and the ability to adjust boost up/down at anytime with no engine destruction reprocussions.

All these have repercussions but I think so far the main tt guys do a great job of performance plus safety considering the ls3 block

SSMINNOW...how many miles have you put on the kit?, how much boost are you running? do you know how much rwhp that translates to?, did you install it yourself and if so did you run into any problems?

Again, this is the raw, original, unedited file, zipped up. You'll probably need VLC Player to view it. Its horrible as far as the quality goes... $100 pocket camera can only go so far
