turbo build begins!!!

[cs xtreme]

Where does it spool?

[Dr. Nate]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Man it sounds like metal on metal...hurt my ears. However, I'm glad that you got it all connected and running. Now time to turn up the boost!

have a question ive been reading alot of mixed reviews on the wg as far as having it open or routed back into exhaust, i was thinkin of having it open, see how it sounds when it dumps.

i've read that recycling w/g will take out a small sum of performance.

[cs xtreme]

Depends on how its fed back. if you are really worried about it but dont like the noise I've seen wastegate mufflers

[1tuffs10]

yea im gonna route it..it wont effect to much performance at low boost i dont think...and its plain open..i think if i get a longer tube it would sound better but i basicaly just wanted to get it running and the engine used to the new addition... if im easying into boost its starts it hink around 26-2800 but at wot right around 3000 seems to spool pretty descent! im not turning it up any till i get it tuned and bigger injectors...im taking no chances with this as its a daily driver basicaly right now till i get a beater for winter! was gonna get some vids tday but it rained all day and tomorrow i think it is again!

the video makes it sound worse then what it is..not the best camera to use! not turning up just yet but soon another month or so!! stock injectors, but i am using 105 octane flex fuel gas..mine is flex if u were wondering..i might be ok at 5-6lbs but im gonna play it safe then sorry!

[1tuffs10]

all the small tweaks and twirks will get worked out over time! im just pleased no problems at all with first start or test runs!! ran all day tday with no problems at all! just need some heat wrap for dp, heat blanket, etc

[1tuffs10]

here are some daytime vids..there is some flutter but its because the bov im using isnt workn that great and its just temp for about 2 weeks till my new one comes in..

ahh yea im waiting for the group buy thing to come through hopefully!!! that would be nice to have!!

[Dr. Pepper]

http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f105/a...oupbuy-395900/

be sure your name is on the list!

[billetproof97']

i need an alternator pulley. but im kinda worried bout my alt. i replaced it twice already. 6 months and the stupid thing was shot. anywho i got a billet aluminum one. im not even sure what the group buy has.

[andyswmr714]

i am about 85 percent sure that its the crank pulley and the alternator pulley

[96 beast]

You have any close up pictures of your p/s remote mount reservoir, and maybe a list of what you used, I'm planning on doing the same for my turbo setup.

[1tuffs10]

yea i can get some close ups tomorrow it was actually fairly easy! just some napa tubing and some clamps, and zipties to hold the resevoir...it seems to be working good! yea ill try to get a list of what all i used too..

[1tuffs10]

i c ur from ohio what part?

[96 beast]

centerville, just south of dayton. Oh and nice work on the turbo setup.

[Dr. Nate]

My Grandpa lives in Lebanon (spelling?) Ohio.

[1tuffs10]

ah i c im from the northwest part of ohio near defiance..

[lakai2504]

the hp numbers dont matter all too much to me, but after you turboed it it could you feel the difference

[andyswmr714]

Amen for turbo power!

haha hells yea u can feel a big difference....even on only 4 lbs of boost if u dont wanna make a fast truck its nice to be able to pass someone and not wait 4 seconds before u go anywhere and have to have the pedal mashed to the floor, i can eas into the pedal and watch the speedo just rise nicely now!!! its def nice to have, and ALSO GREAT MPG increase....i drove around alot and got great increase in mpg without getting into boost all the time..

[turboS-10]

Hey looks pretty good man, sorry it was a little high it's kinda hard to cram the stage 2 headers in there normally... much less with the divided flange collector. Especially when I don't have the actual turbo and wastegate at the shop! Looks great though!

[1tuffs10]

haha yea thats understandable i just thought i would let you know if anyone asks again for the same thing that its gonna be really tight..but yea everything seemed to work out great thanks again!

[1tuffs10]

new vid of my newer synapse bov havnt posted anything for a while...

ill try to get a outside video as well sometime this weekend hopefully..sounds way louder and better under load instead of at idle, stupid rev limiter keeps it from goin off at idle!!! lol

[pearl91chevy]

damn.. thats pretty badass, wish my 2.2 could pull that kinda burn out ahahah awsome build though man

[IsuzuTurbo]

nice job

[andyswmr714]

hey good call on the bov me too! ahhh ha!

[southernrock20]

looking good! good burn out also! do you have any traction bars or anything? I know your is an xtreme so your suspension is a bit different than mine. I cant do a standing burnout for the fact I have way to much wheel hop, but im hoping my caltracs will stop that lol.

[KJF95S-10]

Sweet truck. I had fun reading this thread. Swap a good 5 speed in there and it should be a handfull.

[1tuffs10]

haha yea a 5 speed wouldnt be to bad but im not lookin in to doing all that and when im done it will be just as good!

[way2xtreme]

nice ride burnout man... btw what make of turbo are you runnig??

[1tuffs10]

originally bought a jdm cheap turbo off ebay...didnt know any better at the time, but they are junk...had shaft play within the first 3 weeks and started hitting the compressor housing, so i ordered stronger better internals, bearings, seals, etc..basicaly a garret t3 rebuild kit and seems to be doing alot better now, blades wernt damaged so there was no need for a rebalance... Thanks!! hoping to get my detroit tru trac soon so i can pull both wheels right away right now its mainly one wheel burnout then the other gradually catches...lol but still badass though!!!

[1tuffs10]

i got the 4.10 rear end i believe!

[1tuffs10]

just some newer updated pics!! nothing to speacial!







interior kinda messy what happens when u work 7 days a week with no time to clean..lol











synapse 40mm wg set at 5psi right now!













what my bearings and thrust looked like before i did the rebuild...this is with the bad shaft play!!! obviously not good!!

[NevurMind85]

man thats a pretty good build. ill eventually do a build up when i throw a supercharger on mine. but right now we have other things that need attention first, like my wifes 96 SHO needs all new coils.

[1tuffs10]

its not bad does what i needed it to do...next step is full engine/tranny/rearend...im probably never getn rid of this truck lol!! im havn to much fun with it!

[NevurMind85]

I know the feeling. I love my truck alot too and will never get rid of it. It just needs more power and a limited slip rearend

[DMP]

So I guess you couldnt use this header and still keep the A/C right?

[NevurMind85]

Not sure it looks like it could have clearance issues with the compressor. But it could be worked to make fit.

[turboS-10]

It's impossible to fit the turbo and A/C there... you'd have to have a huge cowl induction hood to tuck it in or run it in front the engine like our kits or cs extreme does.

[turboS-10]

Hey Thomas, you may already know but you should really relocate that air filter from out behind the radiator... your probably running 170+ degree intake air temperatures.

I've yet to hook up my intake temp gauge, but i didnt think it would make much difference with an intercooler.

[turboS-10]

It makes a huge difference, especially on higher boost levels, at the very least the higher intake temperatures will cause detonation/pre-ignition. Worst case scenerio can be melted pistons... The intercooler helps but you don't want to make it do more than it has to. If you have a thermostat on your electric fan you are a little better off but if you have an on/off switch it will blow constant 170+ degree air straight into the intake.

[94Sonoma94]

looks good, my only criticism is; relocate the inlet filter to the turbo so it looks cleaner, and that waste gate is GIGANTIC, but good job relocating none the less. very nice, you did it the right way.. no cheap build.

[702s10]

Pretty cool build man. I just got a 2003 block+head out of a truck that only had 23,xxx miles on it. Just tore it down tonight it's getting ready to be sent to the machine shop for full forged internals and then its boost time haha

def takn note on that i have def noticed its really warm alot from being so close to the turbo, the top of the hood and the engine, so im lookn into relocating that this week actually!!!
