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

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.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
