Turbo BS Thread

Take it to a mechanic and ask for a leak test on the intake and exhaust.

Also disconnect the vacuum hose from your intake manifold and BOV. Cap both nipples and see how it runs. Could be that you still need a stronger spring on the BOV?

 

They are running a standard cam too. But those posts are from 2015 lol imagine what theyre running now?

 

Finally t-d into my lines and hooked up my bov and my boost gauge, thought i had a little leak in my lines (and i may) but it go to 0 and didnt get any higher on my 1st straight away, but i hit about 2 psi on my 2nd straight away at just past 1/2 throttle or so... I was gettin worried cuz i was at almost 3k rpm and i just sat there like "dang that sucks" then lag haha VROOOOOOM It jumped to 4500 in a hurry and i was doin 80 before i knew it. I have got to get them new injectors in a get a tune this thing is gonna be a beast at 7.5. I need to figure out where/how to mount this gauge, i bought a universal and piller mount for 2 gauges and was gonna be for boost and afr, but i may put it in the blank below the air vent (2wd solutions) and just use the torque app for afrs since ill have it up for temps anyway and its pretty much free and no extra work

 

Is it the stock ecm? Is your BOV recirculated?

 

I assume u are talkin to me, i have a mapecu3 installed but just runnin a stock tune and bov vents to atm

 

Yes to both

 

I think I can make a tester

 

Don't even get notifications anymore to my own thread..

He went full kill. I didn't ask about cams. Pretty sure they are custom since he did head work.

 

One of their posts said they went back to standard cams and ported head with commodore springs lol so badass

 

Thought about pulling my boost and afr gauge off my dash. We will see if I ever get to that.

 

Just noticed this, but I found the guy on Instagram. He sold the motor and turbo setup, now it's just a regular 5vz I believe



I might be skipping the ic for a bit while i get everything up and running...

Already loosing my mind and I havnt even started.

 

Yes welcome to the world of Turbo Builds

 

Bout to just say screw it and drop in an ls1

 

If u are gonna do an engine swap why not get a turbo diesel, 2 birds one stone gobs of torque and coal to roll

 

Funny I was thinking the same

 

IFS cant handle it, have to do a sas.

If the compression is bad I am...about to do a compression test in an hour or so

 

You're going to LS swap check out sloppy mechanics.

And here's the kit if you do:

This is the full kit but If I were to swap one of these trucks I would just buy the mounts and headers from CX, a 4l80e, shift kit and HPtuners.

Swapping in an LS can even be cheaper than turboing the 5vz if you do it right, and can make the same power NA.
When my 3.4 blows I may LS swap since we have a spare 5.3 sitting
