How well will a bone stock LS1 hold up with the APS twin turbo kit? The motor has 78,xxx miles
i see i see, it'll be a weekend "style & profile" car. I was gonna go for head and cam for next year, but the twin turbo ls1 sound intriguing
Buddy has sts bone stock and runs 5psi. Many ls1 guys do run 7 /8 ish no problem on stock engine.Some much higher but personally would stick to that 7/8 range. There are several guys on ls1tech.com running aps setup on stock engines..so far so good.
I have a friend with the APS kit on his car. Didn't have the stock motor for long... He didn't put a catch can on it in time and blew the stock motor up from losing oil. Now it's a forged 346 with 9.8:1 comp, stock 421's, ls6 intake, a decent sized boost cam(can't remember the specs), and bolt ons. The car made just a hair under 600whp on 6.5 psi. He is planning on running 14 psi when he gets his boost controller. There is a lot more into his car that I'm forgetting... Including the amount of time he has put into his fuel system.
Only problem I've seen is that the kit won't allow the front bumper to sit back flush with the hood now... But the gap is barely noticeable. The bumper still sits perfectly everywhere else.
Anyone have a link for the APS twin turbo kit? I have only seen a few of them :love:
air power systems...
whats that system cost roughly for everything
5999 plus shipping I think for the standard these days and think 6999 for the upgraded turbos.
You still need to get fuel system,tuning of course.
beautiful, i think i found my christmas/21 bday present
Here's a rather dumb question, will i still be able to run a Y pipe after the install?
Hmm thought posted. You can use a hooker and think kooks ypipe and catback. Quite a few aps guys are doing this and getting good times and power. For ultimate power true duals are best I am sure mabye with dual cutouts.
I am running a street pro cutout with hooker ceramic coated ypipe and b and b triflo.
See how that works soon. Trying to finish up 408 install and aps build in next week or so.
Would I need 3" duals or would 2.5 be good enough for the TT system, on a bolton car? :confused:
i personally wanted to go for the QTP y pipe and GMMG cat back.....and it seems that it will all hook up, i guess i better start saving my milk money
