Turbo setup

**BoostnLSX** · 12-14-2011

Well guys new to the GXP scene but not the LSX one. with seeing a few turbo builds and liking being different i was seeing if anyone has done a twin set up maybe some small GT28's mounted like ofset similar to a supra? I really not a fan of the manifold in the rear but not enough time to make or mod something... anyone try this? also why no mods to run a vic jr manifold?

i have 1 turbo in my gxp, but AS FAR AS I KNOW there is only one grand prix that has 2 turbo's and i think its a 97 ?

if u plan on putting 2 turbos in a gxp that will be very interesting to see, and u might wanna get a few spare tranny's

it's not even a street car

and it is zzp's drag car (one of) so i wouldn't put too much into getting a TT grand prix, whether or not you have the ls4 or not doesn't matter as the weakest point in the cars is the fact that they are fwd and the tranny will eventually go no matter waht in a 9 second car anyways

the vic Jr intake would be badaZZ but you would have hood issues, and the TT idea, space restriction is a big problem.

google boosted lS7 monte carlo. 8k+ custom tranny, destroked ls7 GT28r turbo couldnt make full pulls due to tranny.

Guys i was thinking twins but not to make much more than 500hp. i did some measuring and i think a vic jr will fit with the super low plenum will be very close but i will take some pics

Guys just a thought a vic jr with a eldelbrock camaro low plenum is 9" in height just a hair over what ours stock is with the cover. will do some test fitting with pics. this would be a sweet and cheap mod for these cars

you could proably do a twin turbo setup pretty easily if you did a rearmount setup.

but you should just spend your money on the transmission before you do anything else. just my $0.02

Ok why would i turbo this car with out trans work!!! and 2 evo 16G fit nice up front but am going single with a spool valve cause have it laying around.. so build pics will be soon
