Ok so Im curious on what the total cost of doing this conversion cost you? From start to finish. I think alot of guys would be interested in the relative cost of building a twin or even single turbo LS1 setup vs the 109's. I know its way cheaper then a 109 block, but ballpark price. Im def interested. Best of both worlds. V-8 rumble/reliabilty and the turbo setup
It depends on how far you want to go with all of the extra goodies aeroquip lines on everything, lsxr intake, twins etc.
I have about $2500 to $3000 in the long block. Heads cnc ported, cam,lifters,timing chain,oil pump,stock rocker trunion rebuild kit
If you dont mind me asking what do you have into the fab work and turbo kit?
great looking work bro. question for ya tho. i'm looking to do a similar build with a 5.3 and twins. it looks like ya left the inner fenders in, did ya have to clearence them at all to run both turbo's on the same side??? looks like a really close fit and was wondering about burring up the plastic.
It is not for me to say, but the rumors from the streets of Detroit is that we have some preliminary pulls to break in the motor.
I am going with a big stuff3 LS1 box and stand alone harness. The factory ecu can be used and tuned using HP Tuners software.
GM performance parts also has stand alone harnesses and ecu package pretty cheap.
This is the harness and ECM you are looking for.
