2010 CAMARO TWIN TURBO SYSTEM IS HERE!!!
We finally finished up the 2010 Camaro system, well sorta. As we speak, the crew is tying together a few loose ends. I did get the opportunity hear them start up the car for the first time in months to double check all the connections.
I personally think the kit turned out way better than expected. We took a different approach with this system from every aspect possible during the developing stages. With the success of the Stage X kit for the Corvettes, designing a kit for the new Camaro was going to have everything the Corvette kit had and some. The kits components are virtually the same, with minor differences but the same engineering concepts were applied with a list of improvements to be made. Here’s a quick run down of what the 2010 Camaro kit consists of-
TURBOCHARGERS- We used the same platform turbochargers as the Vettes which were supplied by Precision Turbo. They consist of a 62mm billet compressor wheel, stuffed into a B cover on the cold side and a 65mm turbine wheel in a vband inlet and 3.00” 0.82 A/R outlet turbine housing. The end user will have the ability to buy this system with a dual ball bearing option or standard bearing. The vband/vband turbine housing makes the installation of the ‘turbo mount pipe assembly’ (turbo, downpipe, wastegate and wastegate dump) a breeze. In fact, the assembly installs in under an hour with only 4 nuts/bolts; 2 at the exhaust manifold and 2 on the coupler mating the exhaust to the downpipe.
WASTEGATES- 38mm wastegates used to be adequate when the average Joe wanted 1000hp. With this kit and the right engine combination, we are anticipating horsepower numbers well over 1400+! We equip each kit with two of Precision’s new 46mm wastegates. Like the turbochargers, the inlet and outlet of the gates are attached with vband connections to ease the installation. Each kit will come with an assortment of wastegate springs from about 6psi to 15psi.
INTERCOOLER and DUCTING- The intercooler definitely is a piece you’re used to seeing. It uses a 3-1/2” core that’s almost 30 inches long and 9 inches tall. The end tanks are made out of sheet metal which are standard on this kit. The intercooler ducting is fabricated out of 6061 aluminum to help reduce the total weight of the system. Each pipe is bead rolled on each end to ensure a snug fit. A 50mm TiAL Sport bypass valve is mounted on the inlet pipe to the throttle body. Finally the ducting and intercooler will be powder coated and offered in a wide variety of colors as well as fiberglass reinforced silicone couplers and lined hose clamps.
That’s the jist of the system from Nick’s point of view. What George and Bob finally set their minds will be in my next blog, in the next forum post (be sure to check out camaro5.com) or in an email response to you regarding this system.
With that said, check out my latest YouTube video of the system:
