Looks good. Waiting for ross to text me back. Said he has a set of c5 and f body manis. I have a set of truck manis but haven't had a chance to cut and chop them to see if they will even be close.

I did get a guy that responded over on ls1 tech about how he has these 2 turbos that I have on a 5.3 and they are fully spooled at 2400. So on my 6.0 it should be pretty much off idle. Said the internal gates wouldn't hold anything under 11 psi. So sounds like I defiantly need to port mine. And if I'm stuck with running 15 psi .....well so be it.

The truck manifold won't fit under a Noav'a hood? I'd rock that over anything besides a FAST IM.

I'm seeing some rather new china headers going nuts on facebook. Apparently they aren't half bad, especially for the price. I'll probably get a set since they'll be easier than longtube headers - my f-body needs special header design to clear the damned steering box.

Truck intake mani fits with ease. The exhaust mani is unknown for now. But I can tell you it won't fit without lots of altering. All look up some ebay specials and see what I can find.

Random Hero · « **Reply #635 on:** February 12, 2015, 04:00:21 PM »

I'm trying to find the c5 ones, I know they are here. but I do have the 98 gaymaro ones and 06 6.0

ratcityrex · « **Reply #636 on:** February 12, 2015, 04:02:51 PM »

Ok cool, thanks man. The gamaro drivers side might work. I belive the c5 ones will work. I know c6 ones will work.

I soooo want to boost my yukon but the 4l80 swap is going to be a PAIN!

Random Hero · « **Reply #638 on:** February 12, 2015, 11:10:07 PM »

its easy, i've done a few.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #639 on:** February 14, 2015, 01:14:32 AM »

Well it looks like the truck manifolds might fit. Gonna have to do a bunch of trimming on the exhaust manifolds but looks good. Drivers side fits as is, Passenger side don't fit worth a shit. I will have to cut it up just to see if it will fit. Might take a whack at it on Monday. Would still like to see if I could find a set of C6/ls3 vett manifolds or some fbody on one side and possible something else on the other.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #640 on:** February 14, 2015, 01:20:16 AM »

Kinda like this

ratcityrex · « **Reply #641 on:** February 16, 2015, 01:56:25 PM »

Well ofter doing all my reasearch and trying to test fit the ls1 manifolds from ross I think I'm just gonna end up cutting up the truck ones and making them work. If they don't work out I'll pick up a set of C6 ones and give those a try. But I'm gonna do something like this.

but I'll put a short radius 90Â° on with a t3 flange

ratcityrex · « **Reply #642 on:** February 16, 2015, 08:52:51 PM »

Here's where I'm at now...

Drivers side cut

Pass side cut

And bolted on....

And now I need to order up some pipes from Adam at Columbia River and then some t3 flanges so I can start placing the turbos.

dvst8r · « **Reply #643 on:** February 16, 2015, 08:59:38 PM »

Those look like they will fit perfect. Some pipe grafted in and some t3 flanges and the hotside will be good to go!

Went to lowes today to buy some black iron pipe to fit up on the exhaust manifolds and they don't carry anything over 1" So then I went over to the nuts and bolts and they don't carry any 8x1.25 metric bolts longer than 2". That store fucking fails on so many levels. So I guess I'll check home depot or just order some shit online.

And I also ordered some t3 flanges last night from the same guy that I always order from. I got 2, 1/2" ss t3 flanges for $27 shipped and I get them the next day.

dude its all about Ace hardware. they always hook me up. Lowes is always just fail, not even sure why I even try anymore.

Yeah ace is good for bolts and shit like that but y here prices are not jew enough for me.

turbohf · « **Reply #650 on:** February 17, 2015, 10:36:48 PM »

i just buy it. either from ace or honda. i dont care anymore if im in need of it. unless its just plain expensive, im not looking elsewhere.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #651 on:** February 18, 2015, 08:24:00 PM »

Well I picked up a couple of bolts to just hold the pump on and I cut up the power steering/alt bracket. This is where I'm at now

So it's gonna be a tight fit....lol

thinking about trying to get a fbody alt mount and mounting the alt down low and out of the way. Or say fuck it and build a exhaust pipe upper and lower radiator hose....lol kinda running out of money quick. Gonna find myself stalling real soon. Have about $200 left to spend and I don't even have a intercooler, charge pipes, charge pipe couplers, The list goes on....lol

turbohf · « **Reply #652 on:** February 18, 2015, 10:57:01 PM »

if you buy an Fbody alt mount your going to need a pulley and water pump also...

so make that shit work. lol.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #653 on:** February 18, 2015, 11:21:14 PM »

Well fuck that, I'm gonna make this work then....lol

turbohf · « **Reply #654 on:** February 19, 2015, 12:48:06 AM »

i just thought of an awesome solution to your problem of finding your pipe material.... squarefold! just get some 1/8" bar. cut it up in lengths, weld to manifold

Squarefold, would be so gangster RHMT classic in a classic.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #656 on:** February 20, 2015, 01:29:06 AM »

Think I would go with a set of c6 manifolds before I did a squarefold. Not bagging on the squarefold or anything.

when I build a nova it will probably be right on par for a squarefold.
