Ok guys been a while since ive gotten back on here lost my password and lost a good computer at work here...lol anyway i just called squries turbo and asked about putting a kit on my 04 seirra

 

the kit cat back: 3995

40lbs injectores: $300 needed to help supply the turbo

Nelson tun: $600 need new tunner ....i guess my hypertech load of crap wont understand what a turbo is...lol

 

and of course shipping about $150 and 5 days to pakage...

 

i figured this would be cheaper than the Magnacharger but wow not realy, so i figured by the time i take off my corsa and trash the hypertech ive lost alot of money just to make this work....my question is does this realy work like the trucks on there site? I want to do something cool but not shure what to think of the squires kit ...dont know anyone whos done it before.

I'd save the $5,000 or so and put it towards something else, thats just me though. You could do a ton of other stuff to your truck for that kind of money. Then again, I have no idea what that is, so... :rant:

i've ridden in a tacoma with a squires sysetem and dear god that thing was fun, the boost hit low and HARD for a little truck and honestly it was cool to feel the turbo boost map almost follow the RPMS so it got more and more powerful as it climbed and the blowoff was a really neat sound

They're supposed to do pretty well...The only thing I'd be worried about is the off-chance of your catalytic converter taking a crap...That would make an insta-grenade out of that turbo.

Yeah im with you wingnut, I dont know crap about these things and talked to squires but they of course make it sound to good to be true.....see what messes me up is that rear mount system id like to see something under the hood.

 

see im a supercharger guy i love to see that thing under someones hood and honestly for the same money i could do that. without gettin rid of any of my mods already done to the truck......then i thoght well how about just go to california and drive one of these things and see for my self ....im sure that would be a seller..

Another negative on this method of turbo packaging is the puddle factor. I'm sure splashing through regular puddles might not be an issue, but you could NEVER submerge it. Like deep water crossings, mudholes, and launching a boat...no ah ahh...

well you know i read the faq's on the site and they say that you would have to totaly submerge the vehicle to where water was coming int the doors before you suck up water throght the intake..

also they said that the turbo dosent get hot enought to break on contact of water, inwich some people were asking them...they say that with the turbo mounted in the rear it dosent get that hot.

 

 

agin im being stubron (or however you spell that) i just think this is cool and id love to buts these import bastards ass

The STS system does look pretty nice, It may just be me, but I'm afraid of all the supply tubing that is outside of the frame rail. What if you get hit on the passenger side. Not enought to total your truck, but enough to bend and dent the pipes. Is your truck not driveable at that point?

      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.
