EBAY INTERCOOLER AND PIPING FOR THE TURBO LSX C10

[@jneff1009]

About to hole saw my 72 for IC piping. Good stuff here, sir, thanks much.

[@BadLuckGarage]

Dig in but watch those knuckles! 😂👍🏻

[@jneff1009]

Bad Luck Garage I know that story....same grinder from HF even.

[@BadLuckGarage]

Lol, I have to blame my stupidity more than the tool. Sometimes I get in a hurry and do stupid things. My finger never has healed back properly.

[@trentdawg2832]

The cutter reminds me of snap cutters for cast iron dwv sewer pipe

[@BadLuckGarage]

Same concept

[@ForOdin]

I have that same grill on my 77 K5 Blazer, which I'm swapping a 5.3 LS into, and I'm going to twin turbo it. I'm hoping to make somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 horsepower when I'm done.

[@andrewscott820]

Angle grinders are very good at cutting skin but don't leave a very clean cut

[@BadLuckGarage]

No sir, they most certainly do not! This was seven months ago and my fingers still not right. 😒

[@HunterTuned]

Good job man! Keep it up!

[@BadLuckGarage]

Thanks brother. We'll get it back on the road eventually. You been back to the track with the chevystang yet? Im waiting for that thing to hit 9s. ;)

Bad Luck Garage uploading the racing video as we speak.

Coming together nice bud 👍 do u hate when u have to order something and that puts u at a dead stop 😏

[@BadLuckGarage]

yea its happened more than a few times on this turbo build. I thought I had most of what I needed but Im getting nickeled and dimed to death. Of course its mainly because I want everything to look nice and neat. If I didnt care then I could have probably already been finished,lol.

Hey man! how did that intercooler worked out? is it really worth it ? you get what you pay for as in the torque converter? cheers! one hell of a job you do on those cars! got a new subscriber over here

[@BadLuckGarage]

I never did an official test of that intercooler but if you watch the video where I tested the turbo blanket you’ll see I actually used a laser thermometer and took the temp across the intercooler just for the hell of it and there was about a 20 degree difference in temp from the inlet side to the outlet side. I’d call that pretty effective for an $80 intercooler. 👍

[@Kris6oh]

Hey what piping kit did you use the link is broke ?

[@BadLuckGarage]

3” eBay kit

[@33coyotes]

Is that a 3" core intercooler?

[@BadLuckGarage]

Yes sir. Thanks for watching!

[@33coyotes]

Bad Luck Garage thanks, I went with a 4", but it looks like it's not going to work.

[@BadLuckGarage]

To be honest, I'm considering switching to a 2.5" just to get the factory grill back in without cutting it. At current power levels I shouldnt need suck a large intercooler anyway. May save this one for a future build.

[@33coyotes]

What's your current rwhp? I'm going with a Procharger D1SC. Shooting for 600rwhp.

[@BadLuckGarage]

No clue. I've honestly never had any of my cars on a dyno in my life. Im more worried about performance than dyno numbers. ;) If you're building a street car, 600whp should be fun though.
