It would be cool if you did a namebrand vs offbrand turbo testing. Specifically the bigger single turbo clones to show when they max out vs the name brand stuff like 85mm and larger. the buggest s400s up to the gt55 stuff

[@ThePower1037]

One thing I'd like to add is that although a low lsa will chop and make better mid end power numbers on a na motor, they usually depend on exhaust scavenging to accomplish this, by adding a turbo, you lose that power, and end up with less power than a high lsa cam, so I would say don't go for a chop cam, but rather a lift cam, with good intake duration, but minimal overlap, like a high lift stage 2 regular cam, or a stage 1 turbo cam.

[@richardholdener1727]

According to endless back to back testing-The cams do the same thing na and boosted-headers help scavenge with any cam, but the cam still works with stock manifolds

I think you are talking about John Virgel. I have a 1993 ford f250 7.5l that I will be trying to replicate what John has done with his truck. The stock 460 pistons are the limiting factor. Otherwise, the 460 is a beast with boost!

I’m embarrassed Richard, all this time I’ve owned a turbo foxbody I have always had problems such as boost, vacuum, exhaust leaks. I’ve tried my best to find and correct them but they are always there. Somehow last season my 7875 wouldn’t see positive boost on the 351, holley screen until mid 5k rpm. At that point it is almost worthless for a street car. I don’t know if I have a new leak I couldn’t find, but I believe the boost would come on just a touch earlier before 😔

a 7875 should make plenty of boost before 5000 rpm on a 351

[@brockstarg2296]

Can you hear it spooling? If not, it's probably an exhaust leak. If you hear it spooling, then it might be a boost leak. Try to get a turbo inlet adapter to pressurize the system with an air compressor. Fill it slowly and listen for leaks. Don't over pressure it! 20lbs is more than enough to find any leaks. Hope this helps, and best of luck!

[@timweb1510]

@@brockstarg2296 thanks man. I was looking at making or buying an affordable tester that fits on the compressor front. I didn’t know if it would work as I have an open pcv on my intake manifold. I don’t currently have a compressor but I have a m12 tire inflator and battery if that would work. Every test I saw on KZbin they stayed under 15lbs trying to check. I’m sure I have a leak somewhere but I haven’t been able to find the main ones. Last season I believe I could hear the turbo spool and I don’t have the put put put sound of the exhaust leak at the manifolds. Thanks

On my setup, I started with a ts45 . It would boost creap when I started out and was afraid to run higher boost . I changed to a ts60 and now have full control whether I run on the 9 psi gate spring or tune the controller to command 18lbs. Big gate for the win ! Blowoff valve is a luxury and makes cool sounds , but not absolutely nessasary to even have . Some even think a blowoff valve is counterproductive . Stick shift builds are harder to keep in boost w a blowoff valve and I'm suspect of the idea the leftover boost pressure in the intake pipe has any damaging effect on the turbo . Its not like the turbo is still trying to build boost once you close the throttle . Its just a split second of pressure that finds a way to bleed down pretty quickly . The turbo doesn't have anything driving it once the blades close so its not banging against the blades for long at all and immediately begins to equalize.

Ok thank you. If you can make a vid on figuring gaps when doing turbo builds. Unless you made one already thanks

[@richardholdener1727]

gap video is up-the rule is .0065 per inch of bore

[@OneBad-rk3in]

Just freshened up an Lq4 for my project and gapped the rings to .029 top and bottom, tossing twin eBay gt45’s on for now, with 100Lb holley injectors, and 100gph holley pump, do you think it will be capable of 1000whp? I’m assuming it will hit that at the crank without too much issue. Would love to say I can turn it up to that at the wheels from time to time.

[@richardholdener1727]

twin gt45s will support 1500 crank hp

[@OneBad-rk3in]

That’s what we like to hear! Thanks for everything your doing for the community Richard!

[@Lifewontwait29]

I’m rocking the BTR stage 3 turbo cam 😊

[@bobbobby1846]

it's a 4.8 not a 6.2 liter. can go bigger with more liters or cubic inches.

[@stephenramsey1102]

Here I am again Richard lol hook me up with some knowledge thanks

[@juicebox853]

The constant worry about a 20 hp loss below 3500 rpm is deranged. Who is driving at WOT at 2000 rpm? This combo is not over cammed or turboed. It is under injected and should be wound out to at least 7500 rpm.

[@nocturnalspecialties642]

A bunch of us tow with turbo LS engines. Being able to hold lockup in 4th gear makes a difference. No point in having to spin engine 3500+ rpms when chugging along at 2000 rpms with a small cam and the right turbo gets very good mileage.

The “Boost Math” isn’t matching up. 415 hp NA 9.3# /14.7= .632: multiplier 1.632 415 x 1.632= 677 Hp not 622 hp 🤔🤔🤔 11# /14.7= .748: multiplier 1.748 415 x 1.748= 725 Hp vs 670 hp 🤔🤔🤔 Etc etc where’s the power loss?

[@Lifewontwait29]

Head flow and how much timing he was pulling in the curve. Probably had more in it.

[@richardholdener1727]

low timing-to be safe

[@Cowboy.underwater]

14.7 assumes ZERO efficiency loss and full timing. 15 -16 is more realistic in many situations.

[@infamousnova]

I was thinking the samething headflow, how ya been?

[@boingkster]

There is always a loss of efficiency in the equation. You may be reaching the limits of head flow, valve and chamber geometry, fuel system or ignition limitation, or plain old thermal inefficiency due to a poorly cooled charge. Running on pump fuel will also often necessitate running far lower timing than optimal. All that said, 670hp is a lot better than 415 wouldn't you agree?!

[@keything8487]

no replacement for displacement...

[@DWBmotorsports]

Yeah there is. And it’s called boost.

[@davidbilliter5619]

@@DWBmotorsports nope......no one said you can't boost the bigger engine. A bigger engine matched to a turbo that will move the air will crush a similarly built smaller boosted engine . That saying does sound good in F&F type movies though, lol.

[@thomasward4505]

Well Richard we need the approximate cost of this so-called first time turbo build. I think the big-ticket item is the Holley HP management system required to make everything safe and user-friendly. I know it is hard to price out the hot side but wastegates blow off valves ,injectors and sensers adds quite a bit to the cost. Without looking everything up I'm guessing $7,500 minimum?

[@timweb1510]

Things sure add up quick sir. I have the Holley hp and they seem to raise the price every year. It comes with a few pressure sensors and you want the NTK O2 sensor for boosted applications over the Bosch which is inferior. Lowdoller motor sports has sensors a little cheaper than the SSI Holley sensors that used to be $100 each. Did you write down the prices or bare bones kits like cx racing or parts needs from VS.

Gm has a wonderful stock engine management system. A lot of time and money invested and you’d be surprised what you can do with a stock gm ls computer.

@@AnDrEw122100 that would require buying some like the HP Tuners setup?

[@tankstoys3034]

I think your cheap junkyard turbo motor and my cheap junkyard turbo motor have two different meanings. By the title I expected to see a stock junkyard motor with an inexpensive turbo, kinda like a guy would test the waters with his first time. You may or may not get all that stuff cheap but I guarantee theres some serious cash for an average guy to do what you showed there.

[@1Bad345]

I would love to see a pre eagle hemi 5.7 with a Maxpeedingrods Gt 45 bc that’s my goal by January 18 💪❤️

[@Gameplay-3D]

Did you gap the rings or just send it?

[@the_real_beefchunks]

He says he did add ring gap at 2:12

[@Gameplay-3D]

I missed that. Thanks

[@stephenmcconnell4302]

No ring gap?

[@AnDrEw122100]

Yeah to big of a turbo , to big of a cam , converter on the tighter side . Little 50 shot get you up on the chip 😅 nitrous baby .
