I say buy my tires, rims, and shocks and tell us if you like it
haha. But no I agree to an extent to these guys the SS is a super sport and meant to be fast and car like. But then again a 4x4 is meant to be big, and like off road, but lots of people lower them, me being one if them, I have a Z71 I'm lowering. And turning into a street/strip truck. To each there own. I don't see why a 2" lift, with a 33" tire. Would look bad on these trucks, and with the 6.0, these would run good. And look good with the bigger tires. Just my .02 -
Ok so I found a used radix just the unit by itself, what else would I need to install it? Injectors, fuel pump. Custom intake, (it doesn't come with one) anything else? Besides a tune?
-
How do you guys like the whipple 2300AX side mount?
-
Ya I have a custom 3" catback was like 150$ to get done, so Ida if I gotta cut it up. But to be honest you should only have to cut off one section. Mount the turbo then mount the other section to the turbo.

My first albacore tuna.
Me kissing my first albacore tuna... Haha
Same trip, 2nd albacore.
My large mouth. Probably the biggest I've ever caught.
Same bass. But my grandpa holding it.

Holy crap... I thought I was doing good owning a pistol, shotgun, an AR-22 and AR-15. Lol. You have an awesome collection man. Awesome.
-
If you wanna see what it looks like I have rear 4x4 blocks, 33" tires, on 16" rims. And 5100 series shocks. All you need is 2" lift keys, and you can see what it looks like >
lol and all for only 1800+ shipping lol. With only 7-8k on the whole setup. Lol -
I'm not 100% sure I just know that the STS kit has a carb number.
-
STS is California smog legal. And easier to "cover up" or take off during smog.
-
Nope there's two options right now. One is a rear mount STS kit. One is a front mount kit. I'm leaning towards the rear mount cuz I gotta smog it in California, but we will see what the front mount contains before I make up my mind. The STS has an MP t70, upgraded oil pump, tial wastegate, tial BOV. 60lb injectors, all piping, etc. kit has 10-12k miles on it. With the turbo and pump only having 2-3k miles. Not sure about the front mount yet will be a day or so to get a list of parts.
-
Well I'm 2wd/4wd. I have a 2001 RCSB z71 package. 5.3l. Lol. But actually I might have found a pre fabbed turbo kit. We will see how everything fans out.
-
Lol to bad that 6 grand turns into 9-10k after a tranny that will work, new fuel system, new rear end, etc etc etc. lol.
-
Gotcha, I was under the impression because of how they were mounted they did not make boost like a roots style even though they were belt driven.
I have a question. On a front mount turbo running a mild 4-8psi. Do I "need" an intercooler? Was looking. Can get the manifold, and Hot pipes for 1400. Oil lines, and all those fitting under 200, and the buy a turbo, wastegate, BOV, etc. and install it for under 2500. Then later when funds allowed add an intercooler? Would this work?
-
Maybe I am wrong but don't they have lag? And come on like a turbo? Not near as much as a turbo, but not "instant" like a supercharger, I feel like they tried to take both ideas and combine them into one. Like I said this is just from what little research I have done on them, maybe you can enlighten me on how they work?
-
Mostly where they mount, and that they act like a turbo, but use a pulley system. I'm sure they work amazing. But I feel a root style, or a turbo is better. Like I understand the concept of it. But I feel if you go that route you might as well just go turbo, or a supercharger I stead of trying to get the best of both worlds. But I've never ran one before. So this is just my opinion.
-
Unless going to famoso speedway will bring people into going i don't wanna drive over 4 hours to meet up with 2-3 people. Where is everyone located, and we can then decide either San Diego, or Irwindale. But that 4+ hour drive is going to turn away the real SoCal people.
-
Man I wish I could afford this. GLWS. Man those are gorgeous.
-
No I understand completely. I'm expecting to spend pretty much the whole 3k on the turbo build if I do the turbo, rear mounts are cheaper, especially because I'm doing all the fabrication. So that's Saves money, ill be upgrading the fuel system of course, and I already have the Vette servo at home waiting to be installed, ill look into the powerdine SC. I'm not a fan of the pro chargers, but ill look them up as well. Thanks for the input.
-
Ok so I've been looking around. And pretty sure ill be building a custom rear mount turbo, I've started a thread on it. But as I'm saving up money, I've had time to really think. And now I'm not sure which one to do, I had first planned, to do heads and a smallish cam. Somewhere along a tr220ish. (That being the biggest I would have gone) but after searching for heads and a can I realized, I probably wouldn't hit the power I wanted. Around 400-450 to the wheels. I have a 5.3l trans is stock and will remain that way for a while I'm sure, anyways. So I decided easy way to get 400 to the wheels is a turbo. ~8psi. On a rear mount setup. Would work perfect and would help preserve the trans and rear end due to its softer power band. But how would a supercharger do? Is 400 possible relatively easy? And does it have room to grow? After I hit 400. I want to save up build the trans, rear end, then move up to 500+. With this is mind. Is a turbo my best bet? Thanks for the advice guys. I just sold my TV and PS3 tonight for a grand. Next thing to sell is my rims, tires, and shocks, and once I do I'll have roughly 2500-2800. To spend. +- a few hundred.

Ahh ok. So what days are good for you guys. I still say we do either barona, or Irwindale. Because this is a SoCal meet. So Irwindale is Thursday nights, barona is Saturdays. I'm down for either. And possibly famosa. Depending on when they have the test n tunes. So lets start piping out days that are good for you. Any Thursday works for me pretty much. And most Saturdays. So lets see if we can get a day set.
-
When will you get the "ok". Lol

Well gonna be another week before I finish... Have work tomorrow. And we didn't make it to my dads work to do the c-notch, and I just finished putting the LCA's on. Royal pain in the ass. Took me about 2-3 hours a side. And just realized I have one of the torsion keys indexed facing down. And I can't get the torsion bar to come out of the new LCA.. So I'm gonna borrow a car from my parents. And then come down next week to finish. The damn rain Thursday Friday. Pretty much screwed me. Only being able to work 30-60 minutes at a time sucked. Here are some pics of the front.
Hopefully more next Thursday of a completed vehicle.
-
Ya I agree. I'm really hoping it turns out good. So far i like it. A lot. Can't wait to finish.
-
It will probably be like a week or so before I can buy one. How do I tune without one till I get one?
Turbo or supercharger for me?
