Default 2005 LGT EZ30R Turbo kit

Building a custom turbo kit for my 2005 lgt

Header built out of 1.5” sch10 321ss primaries, and 2” secondaries. Using a Garrett gtx3584rsii. I plan on doing a front mounted turbo, and awic with a rotated custom aluminum intake manifold. I will keep this thread updated with my progress.

It would be cool to make 500whp on the bone stock long block before dropping in a built motor. If I can make 750whp when it’s done, I’ll be happy.

Holy gorgeous manifolds!

I would think 500 on the stock block is doable, but she ain't gonna like it. It would probably survive if driven conservatively and ALL the supporting mods are done. 750 on a built one some be no problem.

Idk if you're interested, but this dude has a turbo ez30 in his LGT.

Turbo is hanging in its new home. Talking with turbosmart and haltech about possibly using the new electronic straight gate.

Added a small bend to move the turbo closer to the engine. Much happier with the placement now! Time to finish the last couple welds on the header

Had some time to work on the car this past couple weeks. Header just needs the vband for the wastegate welded (need to machine a heat sink before welding it). Welded the oil return bung in the front cover (welded from the inside). Fuel lines complete up to the firewall. Can’t wait to drop the motor in and keep rolling!

Just need to add a hanger and she’s done. Deciding if I want to recirc the wastegate into the downpipe or just make a straight dump for it.

I need to talk to some professionals in the cooling department. I need to decide what size radiator is needed and if I should do awic or not. Any recommendations?

I don’t have social media, but I was considering starting a YouTube channel. Maybe I will

Default Alternator bracket/AC delete

Did you custom make that alternator bracket? Have you deleted the AC pump and pulley?
Can you not use the stock composite plastic intake?
I like the front mounted turbo, I am currently pulling an ez30 and 6 speed MT to out in my JDM legacy twinscroll, and plan to do turbo setup like MCM boys in Australia, up pipe between the brake booster and steering rack location.
Wish I had your welding skills!
