Truck info is in sig. But I want a turbo kit from KB(stage2) However my truck has the DOD and was thinking of deleting that first. And when I am in there do cam/springs,rockers. Maybe heads?!?

 

Didn't know if I would be better off just buying a 6.0 or 6.2 motor and swapping out? <--don't even know what that would take other than the engine and ecm?

 

Was going to upgrade trans this month with Shift kit(hd2), billet servos(all), 40k trans cooler. But now thinking built trans is better?!?

 

Only looking for around 500hp. I know I need tune,pump,and injectors. And Stall 3200.

 

Also money doesn't matter but it has to make sense and be a bang for buck. Not trying to spend big or buy cheap shit.

 

Thanks so much.

You can buy the DOD free L9H 6.2 from crateenginedepot.com. they are like gmpartsdirect.com without inflated shipping. Then supercharge that. You can get away with just having the ecm reflashed for the 6.2

how about 4:56 rear with a posi, and a set of stainless works long tubes..

Procharger makes some nice kits with 45-55% HP gains,..`

Do not like superchargers. Had a procharger on another project. And twins on a camaro and nitrous on a different camaro. I am a N/A or Turbo guy. I am ok with the top mount new style chargers. However the cost per dollar seems low and the pulleys! they are like 5-6k then longtubes. with turbo kits are $3200 and boost controler rather than pulleys and belts.

 

I am still very interested in ideas here! Please keep them coming. However I ordered 2 motors just in case I go N/A for now. And turbo when weather is warmer. What can I say, I'm super impulsive. :thumbs:

I like how Chris thinks. As for the pulleys, someone told me that you can get custom made to order billet pulleys in any size you want for $55.00 at smoothflowpulleys.com, I may do that someday, but for now I'll stay under warranty. That gives you the option of changing pulleys/boost in a matter of minutes. I don't currently, and haven't ever, owned a turbocharged vehicle so I cannot tell you the differences other than slight turbo lag. My brother owned two grand nationals, and they were bad ass. The knock on superchargers used to be parasitic loss, but anymore that is minimal.

Bottom line is build what you want and drive it like you stole it.

I loved the turbo 4 in my Thunderbird. Then I drove a Thunderbird super coupe and have been a supercharger guy since

What's your budget roughly

 

Like to spend around 5-7K. Like motor one month trans next then turbo. I have a tuner friend and other friend owns a large auto shop. So free labor/tools.However I don't know all the what fits what things.

 

So will a C6 vette 6.0 fit? He has many and some 6.0 tbss motors. Hope it works. As the newer motors are a little harder to find. Thanks

I can buy a KB kit for $3,150.00 (minus turbo is -$800) an I would buy non inter cooled and scrap the turbo for a precision turbo and fab a front mount intercooler. Rather then all the bends. Was told $1800 for hot pipes. Cost on the better turbo is $1000.00 I have bends. and intercooler no more than 400. I understand needs injectors. But tun is free for me.

 

Good friends and I have built race cars.In fact twin turbo superstreet/outlaw. So fab and discounts on parts we can come by! But the engine swap info itself NO. anyone help here please?

 

Need to know with a C6 6.0L LS2 drop into a NBS silverado with the 4l60E? Thank you.

Yes it should. Possible reluctor ring differences though

Thanks from what i have read into bolts in but there are some issues.

 

Anyone have a solid answer?

 

Found this link. Helps a little....

http://www.nookandtr...om/Info_LSx.php

 

Ok so just found Summit sells reluctor that are 58 to convert the old 24 tooth over. However I am reading the flywheel could be different as there are 6bolt,8bolt,9bolt. But I can just buy a flywheel right?

 

Hope this is all want to pick motor up tomorrow.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
