Stage 1 kit.,, 1800.00

If you want to get into a forced induction system and your on a tight budget the Stage 1 kit is for you. This kit gets you on your way to being boosted in the shortest amount of time. Intercooler is not supplied to keep the costs down and install time to a minimum. The intercooler can be purchased later for higher hp.
The Stage 1 is built to deliver more horsepower then any other kit at this price range. If you have a weekend and common hand tools you can install this kit and start having boosted fun right away.

So, what are the general HP gains with the Stage 1 kits? I mean base line on, let's say, a stock 5.3. And is this kit mild enough so that you dont need injectors? Just wonderin what I should do to my truck that I'm pickin up tomorrow.

You will almost always need injectors. People max out stock injectors with as little mods as long tubes and a baby cam.

do you make this kit in a 4x4 version? if not, what would need to be changed to make this kit fit?

The kit will fit a 4x4. Its just build off a 2x4 set up. The front drive shaft clears.. :)

Is the stage 1 turbo the same as the stage 4 turbo. What all would someone need to go from a stage 1 kit to a stage 4

looks like cross over and down pipe would have to be upgraded along with the turbo, stage 4 also has the intercooler. stage 4 stuff is also painted (maybe coated) and im guessing has a better waste gate and blow off valve

thats another question what size turbo is on this kit? i know its a MP just curious on the size

The stage 1 would require alot of upgrades to be a stage 4. The crossove, and downpipe would be swapped out to stainless. Stage 4 intercooler kit, with black cold piping cut to length and beed rolled ends. Larger turbo, larger blowoff. Gate is same size different brand.

Stage 1 is build for a stockish 4.8/5.3/6.0 customer that wants to see what FI is all about and does not have alot of coin to use. So everything on this kit is done as cost effective as possible. Boost should be kept 7psi or lower, unless methanol or an IC is added.
For the customer that knows they will be pushing the kit to higher boost levels and power levels the Stage 3 or STage 4 are better options.

Here is a brief grid showing the kit and there parts lists hope this helps.

I have 36lb injectors how well would they work with this kit pushing 6psi? Would my 224/230 114lsa cam work ok in a boost application?

No sure on the tuning side of things I am not a tuner. :(

No ic will be fine but stay below 7 max psi. I have this kit installed on my truck. Going to be driving it around next week. Mine will stay around 4-5 psi. I will log the temps I see. I will be using the 48lbs injectors I have with my old tune.

What would you expect out of 5-7psi on a stock 5.3?

Also work with a stock clutch fan?
08-16-2010, 08:59 PM

Stock fan would require a different routing system. Hp not sure so many variables, I would think 60-90 hp to the ground. Add meth turn the boost up 10-12 with a cam. 500hp range.
But that's just guessing. Hp really cones down to tuning, cam, cubes, etc. A customer might move the air filter and get more power out of the kit then his buddy did. My filter is mounted off to the side and probably will reinstall the stock box and see if it helps air temps. If it does that item might get pulled and the price would go down ;)

Give me an idea what would need have to be done as far as cold side routing with a clutch fan.

Could you sell this kit with a 76mm and a bung in the dp. I'm thinking a 76 would be a better fit for my hp goal since its a 6.0
