LS1 F-Body Pump Upgrade: Turn One’s Bottom Outlet Solution

When working with aftermarket drive kits and LS1 pump setups, clearance on the passenger side can become a serious challenge. Turn One addresses this issue with their Bottom Outlet LS1 F-body Pump from the HP2 Series. Designed with a reverse-outlet layout, the high-pressure fitting is positioned at the 3 o’clock angle when facing the front of the pump. This smart redesign makes hose routing easier, eliminating clearance headaches and allowing builders to keep their setups clean and efficient. It is especially valuable for custom projects where every inch of space in the engine bay matters.

LS1 F-body Pump

Built For Performance And Reliability

Turn One hand-builds each unit in the United States with upgraded internals that enhance performance. The pump reduces fluid temperatures and requires less engine horsepower to operate, which translates to improved efficiency during high-demand driving. Lower fluid temperatures also help extend the life of the pump and steering components, providing long-term reliability for both street and race cars.

Each pump is dyno-tested before leaving the shop, ensuring quality and consistency. A billet aluminum pulley in factory diameter and a lightweight aluminum housing make the pump durable without adding unnecessary weight. For added convenience, it comes complete with a reservoir and cap, allowing builders to install it without needing to hunt down additional parts.

Ideal For Track, Street, And Beyond

Turn One’s HP2 tuning caters to demanding applications. Whether you are drifting, competing in autocross or road racing, or running hydroboost brake assist, this pump provides the flow and efficiency needed for consistent steering performance. Its Type II pump configuration with performance modifications ensures it can withstand the punishment of track-style driving while still delivering benefits for street-driven performance cars.

The ability to free up horsepower while also improving steering consistency is a combination that makes sense in nearly every performance build. With the steering response being critical in competitive driving, the pump’s design gives drivers confidence in demanding situations. Even for daily-driven LS swaps, the reduced strain on the engine and cooler operating temperatures provide noticeable benefits.

Installation Notes And Fitment

For those using factory LS1 mounts, Turn One recommends sticking with a standard F-body pump. However, for builders running aftermarket setups with tighter tolerances, the bottom outlet pump provides the perfect solution. It is designed specifically for situations where conventional pump layouts would make hose routing a nightmare. The relocation of the pressure port alone can save hours of frustration during installation and future maintenance.

Turn One has built a reputation for providing steering components that perform at the highest levels of motorsports while still being accessible to grassroots enthusiasts. The Bottom Outlet LS1 F-body Pump continues that tradition by blending race-bred upgrades with real-world usability.
