1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

[Babaganoosh]

Haven't you been trying to get it "reliable" for years? You do know that it will NOT be reliable with a turbo right?

Yeah but now that I have the engine and transmission figured out and now the tcase it should be good which is why I'm going to make it a bit more comfortable interior.

It does leak a little bit and going to fix that as well. It won't get the turbo in the next year anyway.

 

[sreidmx]

Reliable is relative...

 

[UpnAdam]

Kinda like daily driver lol

 

[Babaganoosh]

Even when it's running I only drive it on the weekends occasionally I go to the store with it during the week.

It's purely for fun.

H1E it's a 60/64 I hope it isn't too small, I want it to spool rather quick and not have to much big end. I just hope it doesn't choke out. If it spooled at 1700 I would be happy. What are your thoughts?

I had an H1C from the diesel in my pickup leftover, that's where the idea for a turbo on the buggy came from. It had the 60mm wheel in it, I never tried it because I convinced myself that it was too small.

Yes, that's where it came from and I'm sure you already knew that. I'm just looking for low boost and to kick in early and not have a huge big end. I don't need a tire fryer.

Are you running a 70mm?

 

[Hogback Fabrication]

69mm

 

[Babaganoosh]

I can't remember much about your setup, did you gap the rings or is it just a junkyard 5.3?

What's your boost level?

 

[Hogback Fabrication]

It's a 6.0L, and I should've increased the gap on the rings because I broke 4-5 of them in one shot. It's all forged stuff now, capped at 7 psi.

 

[Bent77]

Just enough to offset altitude

 

[Truckman4life]

Go big or go home! It will be ok

 

[Babaganoosh]

I really only want a Max of 5 psi, very limited on boost.

I talked to Richard Holdener about this truck turbo thing, he told me there is a 50% increase in torque at 7psi... that makes a 325 Produce 489lb ft at peak... I’d say that is stout...

Well then....14 psi is mucho better! My 454 needs a 7.3L turbo!

Then I am going to mount the 2 spare turbos for my Cat C-12 on the 8.1 that is going into the Buick. It has 4 headlights. I will use 2 for intakes. I am sure a stock 700R4 and the 12 bolt will handle it.

That's what I'm talking about.

With what I have planned I bet it makes only 450hp to it. The 4l60e is built pretty heavily and with the 10.5 aam I think it will hold.

 

[sreidmx]

Surely it will never work..

 

[Smokinthehippies]

Surely it will never work..

It will and don’t call me Shirley

 

[sreidmx]

Listen here.. the internet says it won’t work.. it doesn’t work..

 

[ZooMad75]

I'm in for the carnage. Who am I to be the killjoy to somebody's fun.
