LSXcalade Twin Turbo Engine Setup Details! Why Does it Work So Well? (Tips For Your Own Build)

What happens here

The engine bay components are meticulously routed for a clean and functional appearance. Fuel lines and wiring harnesses are run underneath the intake manifold, making them largely invisible. The fuel system itself uses an Aeromotive 5 gallon/minute brushless fuel pump, FID 2000 injectors, and Holley fuel rails, all configured for an LS3 setup. An Aeromotive regulator is mounted to a vacuum distribution block for efficient manifold referencing. A K-Tech belt tensioner is used, with a small design flaw noted regarding logo placement. An ATI balancer ensures smooth engine operation. Factory power steering and AC components were retained and simply moved aside during the build, illustrating efforts to integrate high-performance with everyday usability.

Goal: Describe the fuel delivery, wiring, and accessory integration for a clean and efficient setup.

Tools and materials

  • Aeromotive Regulator Aeromotive — Controlling fuel pressure, mounted to a vacuum distribution block
  • ATI Balancer ATI — Harmonic balancer for engine stability
  • Factory AC Compressor System OEM — Original air conditioning system, retained
  • Factory Power Steering Pump OEM — Original power steering component, retained
  • FID 2000 Injectors FID — High-capacity fuel injection for increased horsepower
  • Holley Fuel Rails Holley — Distributing fuel to the injectors, configured for LS3
  • K-Tech Belt Tensioner K-Tech — Maintaining proper belt tension
  • Vacuum Distribution Block — Providing manifold reference for various components, including the fuel regulator

i did and it works um you know stock truck water pump it's got a melling oil pump it's got fid 2000 injectors air motive regulator aeromotive pump filter all that stuff all red horse performance and lines and fittings they're another um big help of my program is red horse is awesome like their stuff is awesome the people are awesome if you need and fittings hit up red horse because they're where it's at um i ran everything under the intake so you can't see it like all the wiring harness and everything's under there uh a regulator is mounted here and it's all hard to get to whenever you need to like take it off and on but i've only done it one time like i put the motor in and the pickup ended up being too close to the pan so i had to pull it out and put it all back together and for the most part most of this has not been touched since then that's a k-tec belt tensioner and pro tip for k-tec don't freaking engrave your name on the side that you can't see i don't know why they did that the dudes at ktek are pretty cool and they actually engraved my logo on there too but when you put it on a truck water pump it's on the bottom you can't see it like you got all this room up here where you could say like you have like kate like ktek and then put my logo or like freaking suck it or whatever you want on there and it's not you know whatever ati balancer whatever it's stock holley fuel rails it's all ls3 configuration stuff if you haven't picked up on that already and these turbos if you haven't picked up on that already are the gen 2 ball bearing stainless turbine housing v-band inlet units and they've been great um but on future builds i'm going to be using stuff from force performance and zona rotor i was actually going to put zona rotors on here and then you know winter happened and time caught up to me and i didn't have time to change everything so i will use those zona rotors on a different build in the future it's got the factory power steering pump um i actually never even drained the pump to do any of this i just kind of flopped it over the frame rail and i never drained the ac compressor system either to do any of this it just kind of stood there too so all the ac lines are factory originals and i used this little vacuum distribution block over there i kind of hit it right on here so this has a main reference line that runs through the manifold and then i can t everything off on here so i need to add stuff that uses manifold reference i come over here…
