LB7: s475 over stock build

[danzick]

thought I would start a build thread on building twin over stock kit. After some hunting down, I will be getting most of the components here hopefully this weekend. Doing pretty much everything myself. The turbo should be here thursday, and the rest of my plumbing parts should show up before the week is over! so far, I have moved the coolant tank, removed the down pipe, and cut the flange off the down pipe so I can reuse that. here is some progress so far. After getting the down pipe out, I thought about shooting it 100 times, running it over 1,000 times and destroying it with a hammer, but I decided against it so I could use the flange.

Are you fabbing the kit yourself and just buying the necessary tubing?

Can you show a few pics of the bracket you made to relocate the coolant tank?

 

[danzick]

I have this bracket for the front, and I used a flat piece with 2 bolts to hold up the rear.

Columbiariver mandrel. I ordered all of the "hot" stuff from them. for the cold side I ordered the tubing from Race part solutions. I decided to go with aluminum on the intake, and between the turbos. I didnt like the thought of any rust on the inside of the tubing on the intake side of things.

I sure can. And will. I will do it after I wrap things up to make sure its right.

What are you using for your oil lines?just finishing my 475/ihi but I need to decide what to do with the feed/dump.Will be running this wknd come hell or high water,Good luck with your build:thumb:

 

[danzick]

thanks! I am building them from scratch with parts from Summit. Got the flanges from Race part solutions. Running a 4 an feed line and a 10 an oil drain line. Got part of the hot pipe built. Its not pretty, but it should work ok. oh, and look what showed up tonight! I need to pop the cover off and get it smoothed out for some powder coating.

Nice work so far :thumb:

 

[dirtydmax]

Lookin good!wish I knew how to post some picts as I button mine up.Where are you draining?

Why did you decide to run a 4an feed line instead of an 6an? Seems a little small iirc most kits run a 6an feed line
