How about GM 2023 Camaro LT2 that came with a 4banger and over the top suspension mated with a 6speed manual, I'd say this new engine block would be a great asset to that Camaro,it would be a 50-50 weight ration, light but powerful powerplant, I mean a mini LS engine who wouldn't salivate that.😏

Completely true. Ive gone through 3 gilmer kits, welded my own pulleys for a 2” belt on my torana & its just pretty homo tbh. The ONLY way if you want to run a gilmer, is keep it slack until you’ve fully heated up the engine to running temp then adjust again so there is still a touch of slack in the belt so it wont rip your bearings apart. Solution: buy a supercharger. In the long run you probably save the headaches and get the power instead of all bark & no bite

Love it, mate! Replacing a gilmer setup with a supercharger is the best solution I've heard of so far. 👌

Thats a pretty wild setup mate.

@eodyeh5641 Kurt's BT1 isn't finished yet, but had plenty of Turbo 5L experiences. They are horses for courses, the power delivery is totally different. Turbo's make more PEAK HP, but blowers will make more power early. Turbo requires alot more work to fit, blower install is a bit more straight forward. You need to figure out what YOU want out of the car, and what you will use it for.

@TorqHub Ай бұрын
Thanks mate 🍻 Generally the more sidewall the better, hence why you'll see most of the offroad boys running tall profile 15's. But I think 17s are a good balance for a daily driver. Although I haven't done it on this vehicle yet, I reckon there's definitely value in fitting a catch can and a fuel pre-filter especially if you're spending long stints in super remote areas. The western filters kits are definitely the go-to in that regard.

By the way I love you videos. My son has a VT series one with the five liter. My question is, can you just whack on a cheap turbo without doing any work to the motor and if so what would the maximum boosts be. Just want to do it cheap, add some boost and be safe. Cheers Graham
@TorqHub Ай бұрын
Hey Graham, yes, you can boost a stock 5.0. Keep it around 10 psi with an intercooler. I'd recommend doing stiffer valve springs at a minimum. Pay good money for a decent tuner and get a genuine walbro/bosch fuel pump. Try not to use anything Chinese besides turbo and intercooler. Turbosmart wastegate 2nd hand if you're on a tight budget.
