DIY Turbo Kit Finished *PICS* Posted By: SmokedYou On: 01-03-2008 @ 13:09:08 Reply | Edit This is the third DIY kit I've built for my '02 Z28. I used a Holset H1E for this build. The stock manifolds are being used right now, but I plan to switch to truck manifolds and 317 heads soon. A DIY alky injection system turns on at 3psi for intercooling, and tuning is done with HPtuners. I can't get on it right now because I don't have a WB o2 set up yet. I've got the timing pulled way back, and I have fattened it up under PE. I don't see any KR under the light boost. I'm pretty sure I'm safe, but I don't want to take a chance. I built a frame for my radiator to sit upright and lower. I also relocated the battery to the back. Those mods made plenty of room for the turbo to sit in the engine bay. I drove round trip 600+ miles to Vegas and back two days after the install and didn't get into to it at all. The most I saw was 3psi at part throttle going up grades. The boost starts to build around 2K RPM and comes in at part throttle. I can't wait to get my WB so I can tune the AFR and open it up. http://www.junkyardturbos.com/images/GenIII1.jpg http://www.junkyardturbos.com/images/GenIII2.jpg http://www.junkyardturbos.com/images/GenIII3.jpg -- 2002 Z28 DIY Turbo - Holset Holset H1E http://www.junkyardturbos.com [ Edited on 04/23/2007 @ 13:10:56 ] Posted By: TBone On: 04-23-2007 @ 15:15:48 Reply | Top | Edit That turbo looks kinda small... does it have enough CFM to feed a modded LS1 ? -- 2000 Trans Am.

Posted By: SmokedYou On: 04-24-2007 @ 17:15:15 Reply | Top | Edit It's going to be maxed out at around 500 - 550fwhp. This turbo is going on my 302 when I finish building it. A T76, 317 heads and truck manifolds are going on the Z28 at that point. -- 2002 Z28 DIY Turbo - Holset Holset H1E http://www.junkyardturbos.com Posted By: kungfuteabag On: 04-26-2007 @ 08:35:00 Reply | Top | Edit Looks like a very cool setup. Even cooler using junkyard parts. Good luck with the rest let us know how it turns out. -- Dan 99 Camaro Z28 - Sold.
