How to Build Your Own Turbo Kit!!!

Now there's probably small things I missed but you really get the full picture here. We are running a non-intercooled setup since we have it rear mounted and it keeps the ambient heat cooler than front mounted.

Your presentation was fantastic. You were clear, concise, and to the point. Excellent job.

[@337speed]

Thanks man, I try

[@lakendrick197535]

Turbros Garage I have a Ls1 in a 86 Monte Carlo SS.Would you turbo it or run a Nos(100 to 150 shot) set up?Thanks & keep up the good work!!!

[@337speed]

Thomas Shaw is run Nitrous if you want to keep it very tame and streetable and LS1s don't handle boost too well. I'd go 6.0 then boost it to make power above 550WHP

Yo dude, this is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I have to say, you're awesome man! Really enjoyed your presentation style, big ups bro.

[@dougarnold]

This is one of the best video explaining all the basic type of diy turbo stuff with no bs. Thank you for the lesson.

[@stang_daddy5980]

technically yea surge can hurt a compressor in theory, but it actually takes a good bit of it to really wear anything on the turbo, the main job of the blow off valve is to improve transient or on/off throttle response. when you are making boost and then let off to change gears or something, the blow off valve (when placed correctly like yours is) keeps the air flowing through the system with all of it's momentum so that when you get back on the throttle you don't have to start the air flowing through the whole system again. throttle opens again, BOV shuts and boom! you already have boost waiting at the throttle!

[@strider5119]

Have not ever heard of compressor surge hurting a turbo

[@dieseldabz7104]

NOT true whatsoever you clearly don't understand what the blow-off valve is for so please educate yourself before running mouth claiming you do..

[@AzMarineGhillie]

Thanks for the good info, you have taken a fairly complex mechanical system and made it easier to understand.

[@Lillypad2727]

I spy spaghetti under the hood ;)

[@valeriesanchez3074]

When you start advancing the ignition, you are igniting your compressed fuel packet a couple degrees sooner before TDC.(top dead center). This ignited packet begins to exert its expansion forces before TDC which gets compressed further up until TDC, allowing for a stronger power stroke. Too much and you begin to knock and backfire.. Yes the advanced ignited packet/charge has higher compression. Easily adjustable with the distributor.

[@diegohedrick3628]

Best tutorial out there talking to newbs (like me) in a way they can understand is really appreciated. Keep at it man! Making the car community grow like it should.

[@TBusaMike]

Could you build a sort of dedicated oiling system for the turbos ? Say a 2 or 3 qt tank, an oil cooler, and pump(s), located closer to the turbo's location ?

[@joeblochlinger]

Yes and no. Theres oil less turbo that have a stand alone cooling system. To build your own youd need a tank to hold the oil, cooler, and a pump to cycle said oil. Regulating the oil pressure will be the more difficult thing to do

[@sirhcmi3]

14:00 Dude, you can’t use that RV water pump for hot oil. At least not for very long. The materials won’t handle the heat and will be attacked by the oil. Get something made for the job before you catch your car on fire! (I was an engineer on the team that designed that pump.)

[@bradybjp]

So crazy bro I’ve been watching your videos forever and I was like he reminds me of some dude on TikTok that talks about power !!! It’s you lol I never realized

[@johnalcala]

Damn bro. You were built for this shit! I'd love to see a similar video on superchargers to get a feel for what is easier or better. Excellent job homie!

[@jodydewey3516]

when running turbos in the rear, how do you get the oil to get back there and return from the turbo? A suplementary oil pump and scavenge return system?

[@HeyItsRed_]

Anything? So can I put this thing in a Toyota Prius and have it work?

[@Willbemeful]

Great video man. I like the fact that you were very informative & yourself. Not a cheeseball trying to get likes. I fucks with Turbos Garage! Lol

[@willwebbjr]

liked your video. two things i'd like to ask. 1). how's it run in the rain (hard raid conditions )with the filters under the truck and 2) you have any issues with heat? it looks like you are venting your right side turbo directly into your air pipes and frame.

[@nigelthomas7455]

Will Webb the turbos are placed high enough and sideways so they dont take in water..drove it threw heavy rain many times..the turbo exhaust doesnt heat up my charge pipe to the intake..its an illusion

[@matthewchandler2470]

That was very good work and we'll thought out. You just clarified a lot of things for me that I thought I knew for being a car guy. For instance, I thought the blow off and waste gate were the same, now it's clear to me

[@devanwoodruff7289]

You are the man! Thank you for taking time out of your day to educate us on diy turbos. I've got 4 cars that need turbo charging =]

[@Regionalize_tech]

damn dude, I've been searching KZbin for a few days and I've received more information in the first 7 min of this video than the three or four days watching videos on turbo install LMAO I'm doin a Audi s5 V8 twin or single turbo build on my channel, whats your IG? I have a few questions

[@IparanoiaZ]

Trying to figure out why you have 2 diesel Garrett turbos running 5 psi 👀 that’s just straight up disrespectful.. even the head studs u could’ve left the stock ones on for 5 psi.. I get it u didn’t do the internals but I mean ur running twins.. do the internals and let her eat at 30psi JUST DO IT!!!

[@SupercarBuilt]

Not everyone has an extra 7k to spend on internals lol

[@IparanoiaZ]

[@kylemcweeny165]

you say actually alot lol good video

[@ckmcsmiley8245]

Kyle McWeeny basically * lol

[@cameronyoung2004]

Actually?

[@stang_daddy5980]

and that "sutututu" sound IS compressor surge, if you hear it on a car that uses a BOV then that means the BOV either isn't opening fast enough or isn't letting enough air out. preventing surge isn't the BOV's main job though, so that isnt neccicarily an issue, but if you're wanting better off/on throttle response from the turbo system and are experiencing surge then you can improve the situation a bit by increasing BOV flow and/or speeding up the BOV response with less spring pressure.

[@gregnash7918]

Ever thought of doing a gm 5.0 . I thought a couple T104 turbos. Low boost but twin might not be bad. 200ish might not blow a head gasket or crink a ring. Just a thought. Cheap build

[@nicklarsen7270]

I like the build, but I'm not too sure about that sensor so close to an unwrapped header. That's a crap ton of heat next to sensitive electronics. Other than than that, that beast looks like it really moves. Nice video.

[@idabomb00]

14:24 you spend so much money, time, and effort on your turbo, then cheap out on securing your wiring. Zip ties, split loom, electrical tape, these things are cheap!

So I got this old 94 gmc sierra 1500 (it was my dads now mine now hes got the exact same thing just a 2015) it's got a 350 it's a 5 speed but 5th is over drive even says OD on the shifter the whole truck is at 400000km+ the engine was replaced after the old one blew at 300000km. now I've been search online for awail and this is the closest ive gotten I want to turbo my truck not mainly for performance acceleration. Now I have no idea what Im doing all I know is how to replace something not add and change my engine is this a good idea and what are some major factors I have to keep in mind and thing not to do.

[@roquerivera816]

I have to disagree on his turbo knowledge when it comes to turbo sizes. Most turbo diesel motors have a 64mm turbo stock so trying to throw a turbo diesel size turbo on a any 4 cylinder unless it is built would more than likely blow up or it wont produce enough exhaust pressure to spin the turbo fast enough to make any decent power. My mini has a very small turbo as well as most stock vehicles with 4 cylinders now if you use a small turbo like that from a mini, saab, evo, sti, or eclipse and pipe into a bigger turbo like that of one from a turbo diesel that's when you will have enough power to pin that size of turbo.

[@hilema41]

Very likely it was already asked but... Rear mounted turbos? Weird to me, not too much turbo lag? I understand its not meant to race in curves but still it could be interesting for others. Thanks!

[@TheRoguelement]

Well you talk the talk but looking at the obscene plumbing job someone did under your truck . I'm just not to sure your aware of what you can and cannot do .Because unless they changed shit you had enough room under the hood for twins so I'm not real sure who sold you on the tail mounted turbo But it would appear you had the work done down at Ray Charles auto repair ... Good luck Wit Dat ....

[@juliodiaz8280]

I'm planning on adding a turbo to my 98 c1500 4.3. Daily driver. With the turbo mounted under by the differential, what can I do to avoid and suction of water if I'm caught in the rain?

[@VindicatorFFXI]

I like everything u had to say....but in a overboost situation wouldn't u want your ecu to cut ignition....not fuel?....if your overboosting and it cuts fuel...doesnt that make it a lean situation...even if what feels like a fractionally small time

[@jonruger]

those powerstroke turbos are not that great from the factory the wheel creates an air pocket and they spool slow as hell. for this budget setup I would have went with a set of holsets. hx35 or hx40s. I don t know all about gas turbo stuff but I know diesel and that isn't the best choice of a stock turbo.

[@dump3deg6]

That rats nest of wires need to cleaned up! But other than that, its a pretty looking solid setup

[@208Concepts]

Your BOV should be upstream of the MAF, because in that configuration you're venting off metered air, and computers don't like that. Other than that, not too bad for a hackjob.

[@Turbogto_guy]

If I could get $1 for every time “blow” was said I could buy myself a turbo kit. Lol

[@maxchurch2127]

This is funny. I've been told by other people on KZbin that turbo junkyard ls engines that you cannot boost a gen 1 5.7l. Did you have to upgrade anything internally in the motor?

[@MrBlackMysterious]

I read so many people saying that you shouldnt turbo a 1.6l engine and just replace the engine overall. Most of these sound elitist. So dear youtube community, are they right? :D

[@TheRydar]
