Bang for Your Buck 1000 Horsepower Build - Fluid MotorUnion’s LS Swaped Turbo DONK 1971 Chevelle SS

[@scottyphillips7799]

Watching this guy reminds me of my old man he was a damn good mechanic and even better person. He had the same big ass hands and knuckles like the guy here. You can tell he actually works for a living.

Both my nova and c10 have supercharged LS’s. One is centrifugal and one is roots!!!

[@MistaaFrosty]

which one do you like better? roots or centri?

[@trentdawg2832]

@@MistaaFrosty roots….but centrifugal sounds soo much cooler!!!!

[@crash5811]

U need a 3rd, w a turbo or twins 😂

[@trentdawg2832]

@ i agree….although technically my duramax has a turbo!!! But yeas id love a turbo LS next

[@JohneeB]

I am looking forward to hearing this one start up! Thank you

I've been a tech now for a couple years and watching these kind of videos wants me to get into what this kind of shop is doing. Being a performance shop but also doing normal diagnostic and mechanical work on the everyday consumers. How did you start doing performance work like what you do.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

We just went for it!

[@scottyphillips7799]

Check around your town and nearby area see if there is already a shop doing it, if not go for it. Find a need fill a need.

The ZZ632 BB crate engine from Chevrolet Performance makes 1000 HP & has a dedicated 4L75E-HD transmission.

[@justinwebster7761]

Yeah but how much does it cost my guess is 30k

[@Mastermindyoung14]

@@justinwebster7761 33k on Jegs... So the price of several complete turbo LS builds.

"And on the seventh day God said, Let there be LS, and it was good". Made my 83 Camaro a rocket. LOL

[@Keasbeysknight]

I'm gonna have to see this when it's done! Hoping for a follow up!

[@davesperformance88]

You never talked about the converter stall? Single disk vs triple disk to lose and it will boil the transmission fluid too tight and will not spool the turbo.

[@RAWRMotorsports]

Top quality customization shop 👌.. wish I was on this level .. hard to get there alone though.. gotta have a team

Good one OJ, so what does tipple gets you excited? Can't wait to see this Chevy making noise.

[@Ottobon]

Anything overdone gets a bit more boring, where i separate the LS is it still sounds really good, and likewise because of the different head options can sound a bunch of different ways. I'm more into tuner cars but i feel negatively towards stuff being overdone more so with K20 because that engine with its best head sadly does not usually sound that good, even compared to many other 4cyl, that said ported k24 heads (which work well for turbo applications if not as insane for NA) don't suffer these issues, or at least give enough material a serious head porter can still end up with a good sounding engine, K20 suffering from areas being removed that really effect the way it sounds (and also cause exhaust reversion, thus the constant blown up K20s.) They did some weird cost cutting on the exhaust side of the K20s head and it ruined one of the best performance 4cyl in the least important ways for a dyno, but the most important in my soul. Thanks for the your LS recipe, your content is always top notch.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

We're working on it! Thanks for sharing!

[@sloqlap]

Here's an oddball for hot rodding. The Buick Regal TourX with the 2L Ecotec. Curious to see how y'all would tackle that for more power.

[@kevin9c1]

I am not sure the knock sensors will be happy with timing gears. Any thoughts on this?

[@trentdawg2832]

Alot of aftermaket ecu’s wont incorporate the knock sensor…or you can disable them if your confident in your tune

[@spacceoutt]

i didnt know how close you were im in the ohare area i need an exhaust on my 1989 ford bronco 5.8

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Come on by! Call the shop and someone will get you set up with an appt! Thanks!

[@ryryb666]

RiP 700R4, what ECU are you gonna use?

[@missy1643]

Merica

[@maybellene500ss]

Beautiful fab work, but man up and forward headers are awful to work around. Truck norris cam is a terrible choice for a big hp turbo cam, but itll work. 700r4 is gonna be hating life behind a turbo ls in a heavy car

[@crash5811]

Nah u gotta watch Richard Holdener's stuff, the Truck Norris is gonna spool that turbo faster and be more fun to drive around too. Especially after dropping the big block

[@KamranNamdarpour]

Where can I LS swap my S65 AMG???

[@carbonfiber8071]

I'm doing a LS/ZF 8HP70 swap in 2003 SL500.

[@Mms93460]

Would love to see an old Honda civic d16y7 come out of your shop sounding good. I have never heard a decent exhaust.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Boom!

[@SmogFighter]

Did anyone else notice that the steering wheel is the same pattern as the “Donk” wheels? Lol

[@FluidMotorUnion]

good eye

[@yassinenattah]

Can you make a 350z sounds like a 911 gt3 with unequal length headers (the theory is to advance/retard the arrival of the pulse to mimic the "firing sequence" of the desired car) and maybe manufacture these

[@FluidMotorUnion]

It’s a KZbin propagated misconception that somehow all cars sound alike if given the same firing order… firing order is important, but it’s not the “instrument” that creates the sound, it’s an adjustment, a “tune”. You couldn’t make a flute sound like sousaphone if you made the pipes longer and bigger, it would just sound like a flute with some stuff on it. The cylinder head, valves, cam timing and ignition play a much bigger part in giving an engine a sound than the header construction. WE COULD, and HAVE made great sounding VQ’s using unique exhaust concepts, but you’d still hear a VQ, not a porsche…

[@yassinenattah]

@@FluidMotorUnion so with "ported" heads, cams, and a very specific tune you could?

[@markrosenberg4614]

Maybe electric?

[@bbanks1019]

A Chevelle is any any way shape ore form a DONK. DONK is a 71- 76 Chevy Caprice or Impala only.

[@sstevocamaro]

He said Donk wheels. He didn’t call the car itself a Donk

[@bbanks1019]

@sstevocamaro read the title of the video. It clearly says "LS SWAPPED TURBO DONK 1971 CHEVELLE SS"

[@1FiftyOverland]

Best value for 1000hp is a twin turbo 5.0.

[@justinwebster7761]

Yeah the LS used to be the way more budget friendly but they got stupid expensive the last few years

[@Mastermindyoung14]

Just run into packaging issues because they're way bigger than an LS. Agreed that they make ridiculous power unopened.

[@trentdawg2832]

You payin for that 5.0

[@CouchBuilt]

Kinda sad and confused with your usual attention to detail that the accessories, plug wires and all the stuff you need to live with aren’t installed during then fabrication.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Why would we do plug wires before we’ve finished the turbo manifolds and finalizing the wiring harness? We really made this video because people were asking for info because it was sitting in the background of the videos, but we’re a while off from being finished, as should be evident from the video..?

[@mcfero1]

Bad header design. Those plug wires will never make it. Also 1000hp with a 700r4 trans will never last. There is tons of room in front of the grille. I’ve got a 4 inch thick intercooler on mine. All the exhaust work took up space for no reason. Just will make excess heat it then engine bay. For a real ls guru check out sloppy mechanics KZbin channel although Richard holdner is good he doesn’t have real world data on the engines. He does a full throttle pull and calls it done.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

You must be new here. Built 700r4 before we touched it. Lots of 1000 hp++ 700r4s built right, pretty common actually, but this one should handle 1200 with a trans brake… Plug wires are how you insulate them. We build our own but won’t have an issue looking pretty and handling glowing manifolds.
