my turbo build

Well I'm going to start my build thread. My truck has gone through a few changes over the past couple years.

It started out its life as a 2007 classic RCSB Regency with a 5.3, jba shorty headers, 4L60E, and G80 w/3.73s.

The shorties were quickly sold and a set of Mac midlengths were installed and a custom dirt_track_racer81 y-pipe was fabbed up. The first nitrous kit was installed somewhere around this time with a comp 212/218 .522/529 114LSA cam. This setup lasted a while then I changed things up completely.

I installed a set of AEM lts with 2.5" true duals into moroso spiral flow mufflers and an MTI T1 cam and a different nitrous kit. This setup was good for 435rwhp on a 75 shot and a 12.86 @ 107mph...and 22mpg http://www.performancetrucks.net/for...ch/gr_grin.gif
YouTube - 2007 Silverado Classic 5.3 212/218 new exhaust
Well the nitrous never got used and was sold and eventually so was the cam...in favor a bigger one. We installed a lunati 232/237 .600 112LSA. Never dynoed or made it to the track, but it was strong.

Now to the new setup...TURBOhttp://www.performancetrucks.net/for...ch/gr_grin.gif
The lunati cam has been sold, aem lts are going to their new owner soon and the turbo build will be commence. Initial setup will consist of:
"New"(to me) 5.3L
04 LS6 cam
Truck intake
29X9X4 intercooler
Decent sized turbo
Custom dirt_track racer81 front mount turbo kit
4L60E w/shift kit
2800 stall
3.73s w/auburn diff

While the truck is down I'm going to try and clean it up a little. There will changes in the future, I.e. Bigger turbo, bigger motor, trans etc...pics will be posted along the way!!

just a little update...finally took the cam out of the packaging...wrong one...got the motor cleaned up and painted...i'll get better pics tomorrow. painted the block, front and rear covers, valve covers, coils and brackets, water pump and pulleys.

Comments?

looks good ......

Cooler is a bit small for my taste, but wont hurt

Looks good, you gonna keep the truck intake?

welcome to darkside bud....

Looking nice! What are the turbo specs?

How much boost and what are the power goals.

This truck will keep the truck intake, lookin for enough boost/power to run an 11.99. The only other thing that will be upgraded will be injectors. This is a budget build to the fullest extent. I'm into this build for around $700. This will be my tow truck:D we'll be building a twin turbo ride this fall...

11.99 doesnt take alot of power. should easily get it done with around 12lbs [depending on turbo size and etc]

Wow!!! That's a bit more than I was expecting...

well with my setup and trap I was looking at an 11.7-11.9, so you could probably get 11s with 10lbs. Just gotta build boost on the line lol

I like the way you did that log.

looks like another great buildup....what are your plans with the longtubes?

very nice build! glad to see it going together nice and quick!

Hahahaha its been anything but a quick process!!! I trashed my motor february 20th and its still down! We just don't have a lot of time to work on it. We're on the home stretch though

700 bucks, wow, where did you get a turbo for that cheap? nice looking build, that thing is going to haul

i bought the turbo from a guy on here. it's just an ebay turbo.

Little update. got all the parts either here or on the way to finish this thing up. Got my meth kit from moze last week, -10 fittings, iat sensor, header wrap and my muffler, 2bar map sensor, turbo drain, and braided -10 line are on their way.

Also finally got the motor out and heads off..

the piston

Now the exhaust valve strategically placed in the head..not just setting there, its wedged there

upon further inspection the piston was not connected to the rod any more.

Holy cow! What motor is that from?

nice carnage. my truck ran solid 12.0s with 10 psi, just to help with your goals.

looks like i'm gonna end up buyin injectors after all. i' prolly only going to be able to squeeze out 8lbs or so with these injectors and meth...i'm not going to spend much more on this truck as its just gonna be my driver/tow truck...but i do want an 11.99

That sux.:sux2bu:

these pictures are of the motor the truck came with. i've already got another 5.3 ready to go(the pretty one in the pics above) but yes, this block will be bored and used for this winters project:D

Looks like you wont be the "Fastest 99+ in OK" if you're only looking for an 11.99.

BAN THIS Douche mods

I would put a Thermo-Tec protective mylar sleeve over
that a/c line next to turbo as well as the wrap you have on there.

Thermo-Tec 14010 - Thermo-Tec Thermo-Sleeve – SummitRacing.com

Thankyou whoever deleted that

all that pretty paint work, you can at least clean all the mud off the firewall and frame!

Keep up the good work!

How much power are you looking to make with that setup?

Did you not see the cleaned up pics?!?! She's purdy now allen. Realisticly prolly around 450rwhp for now. I may get some bigger injectors and turn it up a little more. I'd really like to run an 11.99 with this thing

R.barn I like that idea. I'm going to try out what I have and if doesn't work I have another ac line that will go on on.
The ac line that's on this truck is different than any other line we've seen. We looked at 10 different trucks and no other one had a line like this. It really messed with us while fabbing the log. I actually have to put it on the other side of that hard line so it doesn't touch the turbo flange

The Beast runs...crappy phone video
