Linn1647545492 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You should make two kits Let me know and I've even do everything I can to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Linn, there will lots of kits eventually. There will be a truck manifold setup that will lose the a/c but keep the stock k-member. Then there will be a setup using the c6 manifold which will allow you to keep a/c but require BMR's k-member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Linn is ur k member the reg 003 bmr or the turbo specific one it will require the turbo specific one to clear the compressor. Mine will be a ac kit reason I'm making the truck mani kit first is I want the ac kit to keep the turbo in the exact same spot that way the only diff is the crossover all other piping will stay the same. So u could get a 70mm or 76mm non ac kit or 70 mm or 76mm ac kit and hopefully u could fit a pt88mm with the rad stood upright if need b. U never know when u need a 88mm in a street car! Mine wil b a 76mm for a good while. I'm also getting dyno numbers with the 70 mm and 76mm plus the 76mmm on e85! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Chad, my car is still available if you want one for the C6 with AC. I just picked up a motor to build for it and was going to get the BMR turbo k-member and start building it over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I already have the bmr turbo k member. But have to bult the truck manifold kit first and it will keep stock k member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best way to tell the differance between the two? So you would not be able to keep the A/C compressor with the crossover pipe and the regular k member? I honestly would not want to run anything smaller than an 88mm on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I honestly would not want to run anything smaller than an 88mm on my car. I can not believe the legend that has used more nitrous then anyone else I know is talking turbos now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 The turbo k member has 2 beams that drop to the middle are bent to give more room the reg one is straight. I may look into making a 47 88 fit but chad don't sell this size turbo. I'm. Shure if enuf ls kits sell and interest is shown maybe u could talk him into it. Anything bigger than a 76mm turbo of chads I couldent garentee would fit with the rad in the stock location. If u stand it upright I've seen 106s done that way. Yes u can run ur bmr k member and up to a 88 if u ran 3.5" exhaust. Ill know a lot more one I get to fabbing the truck kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll work on Chad as I've been trying to get him to put a kit together for some time. If you stand the radiator up do you have to remove the fans as well?

BigZach Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Depends on the size of the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 The ones I've seen with a 88 mount it high so they can make the downpipe fit a slim design puller can get used only on the pass side of the rad ud need a pusher on the driver and that's. With the rad upright. Building these 2 kits will eat enuf time for me maybe down the line id make a big single or a twin kit for 2 76s. I just don't need them for my power goals. And I have to make the kit so chad can sell them to most people. And usually 600+ wheel and ac is good enuf. My main goal is to be 100 percent street car w 700+ whp and high 9 ets.

Mattsv8 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 ur ls sanoma would be diff then the car truck kit you can mout the turbo higher. and your a lil cramped length wise so it would mount front to back and dp would go over the mani and then down turbo on pass side. up to a 76mm prety easy!!

Mattsv8 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 may look into a twin tubo kit with the bmr k member looks like it would be preaty simple to mount up twin 70s up to chad if he wants to sell it but u never know i may get bored on a single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Matt- looks good! I take it your not using a stock hood? Where did you get that intercooler- it looks like a big one? Do you think you will need to upsize the electric fans with that much frontal area loss for the radiator? Is that a master power turbo?
