Thanks gang!!!

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Damn that looks great! You have a pedal on the Smiley? I am currently making one for my old Smiley that is still working great after 2 years.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

crazy good.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Thanks bud! You are one of the 2 guys that really helped me get the tig sorted out and allowed me to do this project!!! Aaron @ Weirtech deserves a props too cause he is the other guy;)

I do not have a pedal hooked up to my smiley yet. Kinda waiting to find a single pedal at a garage sale or something. Just using the HF start on the torch itself. This little welder would be almost unstopable with a pedal!

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Why did you get banned from HMT for a couple day's? BTW the car is coming along nicely!!!

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Do you have a link I tryed ebay and could not find it.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

I do not have a link handy. He had some up on ebay, but doesn't currently. I think we have a member or 2 that live local to the smiley factory and would be more then willing to hook you up on the deal. You could toss up a thread in general discussion towards who it is?

I posted a pic of a guy on the BME website, that was bent over with a steak knife through the skin next to his ass hole. It was crude, but it was in a fucked up thread to start with AND in the porn section. Tub girl, 2girlsonecup, and home surgeries are on the same level as the picture I posted so I felt the ban was out of line. Oh well.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Thanks for the info about the welder.

Thats kinda funny, how long was the temp ban for.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

was told 2 days ended up being 3 lol

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

nice work matt. you need a bigger dp though! ;)

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Fxed.

Looks like fun.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Yea yea, I can get away with the 3" for this year. lol. Next year I will end up buying a 4" muffler and piping to make the downpipe. Its one of those things... This turbo with a 3" downpipe, no 4" step has made over 500rwhp on stock long block 6.0ls.

bigdaddy, your turbos bigger then mine isn't it? hahaha

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Got the rest of the hotside done, aside from the wastegate and dump tube. Thats on tomorrows list if I get the hotside all welded out.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Damn that suck, just don't get banned altogether I want to se this thing done. BTW does the smily come with a plasma cuter?

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

thats a negative on the ol' 10-4

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

what are you using to tune it? Stock reflashed ecu?

Are you planning on fabbing up a brace to hold the turbo in place? I wouldnt rely on the 16ga pipe. That ---- looks real nice though.. cant wait to see it all done

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Yea stock ecu tuned with HP tuners on a 2 bar speed density tune. It will get tuned on the rolllers then take it on the street and see if theres any tweaking needed.

Yea I'm slowly figuring out a way to make a nice looking brace. It has to be mounted to the engine... I want something clean.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

i have a friend interested in putting a turbo on his ls1, he asked for my help so im curious about your engine management. I was looking through the stuff at moates.net, but it looked like that was gonna be close to a $1000, which is a little more than hes wants to spend. Do you have anymore info on the MAP conversion or tuning program? Dude is telling me theres a map sensor in the back of the intake manifold in addition to the MAF sensor it already has... seems weird to me.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

He is indeed true. However the MAP sensor there is for MAF back up only and does not allow the SD option. HPtuners has added tables and updates to their software for the GM 2 bar map sensor. Found on the new cobalt SSsupercharged. At the time of tuning you pay 100 bucks(to the guy that already has HPtuner tuning software) for the add on option.

What is his engine starting as? The LS1 car engine only requires a MAF sensor and tuning. The LS1 vette( I believe) and the truck(for sure), need the MAF deleted but you use the IAT signal and reading wires to splice in the GMC syclone IAT sensor which is a fast read sensor.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

wastegate is braced and welded to the merge.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Ill have to ask him what the engine is from, i think its the truck engine. So can anyone tune HP tuners software? Or is it like an SCT thing where only dealers can tune it?

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Its just like megasquirt, efilive, etc. You can buy the business version(unlimited vin numbers), or single user and when you sell it you the new owner can pay a fee for his vin to be added.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

got all of the cold side done. Not welded in pics but now welded. All I need to do now is run the downpipe once I get more material! super stoked.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

looks so good! are you going to wrap everything or are you goin to get it all coated?

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

jet hot black and probably wrap it aswell.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

pure sex!!!! :6

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

hey hows it goin? looking like a killer setup. i actually have an LS1 in my 88 monte ss that im building a turbo setup for. i have my turbo setup exactly like you have yours. my problem is trying to figure out how to run my return oil line. if you could and when you do post some pics of where your gonna run the line. that would be much appreciated. oh and in last months hot rod, some guy put a bone stock 5.3 in his ford fairmount with a t70 and an ls6 cam and made 650 at the wheels on 15lbs of boost and ran a best of 9.97.

Re: truck manifold t76 chevelle
 

Thank you! Please post pics of your car! Also send some pics to sixmonthtoy@shaw.ca!!!

The oil return line is simple. Drop your oil pan and drill a hole and put a fitting in for a -10AN line.

You can also go with the timing cover aswell. Here are pics.

Only one side for single turbo. He is twin.

That fairmont is owned by Parish. He used to have the Blue 2003ish Silverado standard cab short box with a built 4l80e and 408. It dyno'd over 1000rwhp. Now the truck is destroying the streets in Mexico with the new owner. Parish is also who hooked me up with my driveline that is in the chevelle.
