Finally...twin turbos for my LFX - Page 22 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thats where the ELite billet cleanside separator comes in...does so w/out being illegal on the street and retains a closed system. Pressure vents out through it where it traps the oil and then it enters the turbo inlet. Also retains 100% MAF metered air.

Love the Mightymouse stuff.....

Got the can installed today and everything seems to be working like it should. The bracket didn't really fit because it was designed for the V8 and apparently they have different "ears" than the V6 radiator. I just took some metal spacers and took them to the grinder to match the angles of the "ear". Wasn't too bad and came out pretty good. Has about 1/4"-1/2" of clearance under the hood.

The hoses are temporary, I need to do something a little better looking, I just couldn't wait to get the RX stuff out of there.

Also bought this oil cap fitting and a 90 degree -AN fitting from them to run my clean side hose to my turbo filter. The rear of my drivers side valve cover is being used for my scavenge pump oil return. Hopefully this will work out a lot better for me.

Here's a quick video I made today just in the parking lot at work. Nothing too impressive but this is going full throttle from 650rpm so you can kind of see what I'm dealing with at the drag strip. And it has some turbo spool sound! Still playing and learning with this camera, a coworker showed me how to edit them so no more long vids with nothing going on lol.

I'm inquiring about doing remote tuning with Eric, the tuner associated with Fabberge that made the canned tune and has been tweaking it for free for me. I think Brian said he thought he could get the throttle launch issue figured out it would just be a PITA with all the data logging and everything. We'll see what they say. I was surprised when Matt from FSP said he wouldn't do it remotely only in house. The nitrous guys are cutting some amazing 60ft times! No matter how fast your car is you won't get much respect at the track with a horrible 60ft. Plus I need to be able to brake stand it just in case I feel the need for a massive burbout...

I'm liking that MM can!

Quick wuestion how much HP are those turbos efficient up to ?

JantzenOKC · 05-12-2015, 03:53 PM

550-600whp (my guess only)

They are GT28 turbos, each one is rated at 350hp so as twins should be 700hp (at flywheel I'm assuming)

JantzenOKC · 05-12-2015, 04:17 PM

I've actually been rethinking my car and my goals for it... I'm really loving the whole setup like it is. I do want to get some lightweight 18's with some drag radials so I can get more traction on the street, but I'm not sure I want to forge the motor and up the power yet.. that will mean new rear end, new transmission, etc.. that's going to turn into A LOT of money and I love how my car is so streetable and gets 30+ mpg. I mean I'm trapping 117 in the 1/4mile so it's definitely a very powerful car. I think i can get into the 11's no problem with the power I have now. This Fabberge kit really is the perfect setup, drives like normal, idles great and gets great mileage. Then when you want, the turbos spool up and make gobs of power. I'm probably around 480whp now by my 117 trap speed. I don't want to take the car so far that's it's not fun on the street and gets crap mileage. We'll see, but I'm LOVING the car as is.

crc91 · 05-12-2015, 04:25 PM

I gotcha, sounds like either way you have a plan! And that's good. I'd really love to see you put together a start up, idle, normal street driving, and fly by video! Are you gunna be at the Fest?

Nope no Fest for me, Id love to but I have to take the ol lady to New Orleans on our next "trip" and that's a long way to go in the Camaro anyways.. definitely too far from home to be drag racing lol.

I've tried making some videos with my cell phone but they were all terrible... I should try to make some more now that I have this action camera, maybe it will recreate the sounds better because my cell videos sounded NOTHING like my car in real life.
