ls2silvy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Just thought i'd post up some pics of my new TC78 rear mount setup, still needs to be tuned. I have a lq9 with ls3 heads/intake and a ls7 cam in it right now, im gonna run 5-7lbs. on that motor and then i should have my 370 with p&p l92 heads and pat g/eps turbo cam done very shortly, i wanna run 12-15lbs. on that motor! The setup works pretty good, i havent been able to get in to boost to much yet but it is very reponsive. Still using my water to air ic setup too, that thing works great. let me know what you guys think!

detjoe Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 is that a small oil tank? or the return pump?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls2silvy Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 is that a small oil tank? or the return pump?? A oil resivor, It gives the return oil a place to collect instead of in the turbo housing itself, the scavenge pump works best if the feed line is submerged in oil.

Very glad to see some thought put to this specific issue - good job!!! Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 UR HMI Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 y is ur wastegate so close to the drive shaft? the guy that fVcked me (everyone knows the story) had my wastegate too close to the driveshaft and the flange ground a ring around it. looks like a good install though. just worried about that wastegate. also, did you get rid of your cats first?

It just looks close, when its down on the ground there is plenty of clearance. It has ps long tubes with a custom y pipe i built using a flowmaster high flow ypipe/collector.

chpspecial Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 /quote] Looks, good. Just one thing, you might want to change the wastegate boost reference line from the turbo to the intake manifold. It will be a much longer vacuum/boost line, but the results will be a much steadier/stable boost and no boost spikes during shifts. BTW that is much to nice to be an STS kit, good job.

BTW that is much to nice to be an STS kit, good job. i agree ray. the boost coming out of the turbo will be much truer than what is going into the intake so the wastegate may open at 8 lbs but u might only see 5-6. and comparing it to an sts system, i 100% agree as well. looks like u have everything dialed in better.

Yeah its water to air you can see it in the passenger side front corner where the factory air box would be, and the huge heat exchanger behind the grill.
