Single Turbo Group Buy

Turbo Kit!!!!  Who is down to boost!!  Working on interest for a group buy of a single turbo kit for the 2019-present 1500 5.3 or 6.2.  YES, doing this will void warranty NO you can’t do it without tuning the truck.  No your dealership will not install and cover it ??‍♂️ hope that covers the basics $4400 plus turbo for the kit $1100 required down.  Details of the kit below.  Minimum for deal is 10 kits but maximum kits is 20 (don’t want to bog ourselves down). All made here in Bismarck ND.  All American made.

You will be required to do your own ECM swap and obtain your own credits.  You will also have to ensure fueling requirements (but seems like these trucks fueling handles well over 500whp stock)

This kit is shown with a VS 7875 but can also be done with S300 and a couple of other options from journal to billet.

Hot side:

The manifold is fabricated from thick 304L stainless pipe and is TIG welded and back-purged for maximum quality, strength and longevity. As you can see it has the crossover merge right before the turbine inlet in order to keep the O2 sensor signals separate from bank-to-bank(your tuner will appreciate this). Trust me, it is MUCH easier to put a flange at the back of the manifold and run all the gasses together on the passenger side but your fuel tuning will suffer. Did I mention that the spark plugs are just as easy to access as they were when your truck was stock or that you can use your stock plug wires without any sleeves? Again, your tuner(and you) will appreciate this.

The crossover is all 304L stainless TIG welded and back-purged and incorporates a stainless bellows vs. a braided flex coupler. This part gets HOT and requires the most robust expansion joint available.

The down pipe is(you guessed it) 304L stainless TIG welded and back-purged. Standard size is 3” but 3.5” is an available option and 4” can be done by special order. Because of the available options and customer preferences I decided to end the exhaust at the down pipe with an optional Vband clamp. You will be responsible for making the final exhaust connection( or not if that’s your style)

Turbo will be selected by you from VS or BW in various size and types and even options for T6.
Kit will come with Turbosmart BOV and WG.

Cold Side:

The tubing is all 6061 aluminum with bead rolled ends for stable connections under pressure. All of the silicone connections are made by high quality Vibrant couplers with Vibrant T-bolt clamps and a 4″ Vibrant air filter. There are a few intercoolers to choose from but the base unit’s core measures 24”x12”x3.5” and is sufficient for up to around 600whp.

Miscellaneous:

Oil feed is -04 AN and comes from a block that is installed at the oil cooler fitting on the engine block. Oil drain is pre-built -10 AN and is made of pushloc fittings and hose capable of 300 psi and designed for transporting fuel and oil, no cheapo barbed fittings with heater hose here. You will get a set of NGK spark plugs(#6510), tools for drilling and tapping the oil pan for the drain, a couple of brackets for minor part relocation, some new heater hose pieces with connectors to make the install a little cleaner and a generous amount of DEI heat shielding.

LMAO what kind of set-up is that? That thing and I mean thing needs to go back to the design dept. Looks like someone went to home depot and bought tubing and slapped it together, I guess people will have to cut a huge hole in there hood to fit it. Very back yard mechanic set-up. Sorry but couldn't help but laugh at it.

Looks like the same turbo kit cleetus mcfarland made for ruby. Guess you arent going to be running a hood on your truck.

I assure you it fits, I attached the prototype, design.  The turbo will fit under the hood just fine..  you actually have way more room Uber the hood on the T1 platform that you did on the Gen 5 and this fits under the gen 5 good just fine.  Has to sit high to clear accessory drive appropriately.  Here is our Gen 5 fitment.

Your posts come across as you being the seller/creator/owner of this business, and you'd like to get a bunch of people to buy it from you, but you don't want to actually say that.

I’m confused about what you’re saying or not saying...  I am trying to get a group buy going for this kit, I don’t own the business I did not build it, I am selling it though.  I am personal friends with the shop owner who is not a social media person.  So I asked if I could help him out.  I am using his build details for the add and I’m selling it for him.

It would have been appropriate for you to disclose this instead of writing as if you had no direct relationship with the seller.

The comment clearly says that [emoji23][emoji2359]

So then considering there are significant changes to a 19+ engine bay vs a 14-18 that picture is somewhat worthless.

Changes, yes, significant no....  the hot side will have 0 change between generations the only change will be cold side so the photo was to show that it doesn’t sit as high as the unmounted version makes it seem.  The turbo will mount in the exact same location for both generations but cold side routing will be different.

Perhaps you should mount a kit on a 19+ and take pictures before posting a sale thread targeting those vehicles.

And post some gains #s from a 19+ I agree with comment above looks very back yard jobish.

Really wish we had one ready and available we just don’t.  The nice thing is that the hot side is re-producible (due to no change) so building the cold side is the only delay but the group buy provides the opportunity to get a truck from someone who is willing and ready just not financially able.

      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.
