Large Frame 88mm turbo on a 5.3! Will it spool up?

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

Good luck. Hope to see Killdozer in action soon

[@strokermaverick]

Hope to see, Brian gets her going soon! Would love to see Kill Dozer competing again.

[@Bad_Idea_Mike]

Do like the 2JZ guys do with big turbos.... spray until you get the turbo to light off. Then have the Holley pull the spray out after you hit 4-5 lbs.

[@Jvcomet]

Good to see it back up and running 👍

[@keithgriffith6002]

If not, use nitrous to spool the turbo

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Safe Travels Brother John!!

Hell yeah Brian

Man you know your stuff about turbos!

[@Boostismyfriend]

5.3 💪💪💪, she needs a stator starting with 17

[@austinsmith7750]

Let's Gooooooo!

[@DeezGarage]

John Doc was having this issue with his ASAG Silver Bullet SN95. But man that blue car that takes a whole 30 seconds to get on boost is wild 😂 I saw that at rockingham last time.

[@patrickmansfield3967]

John, I have BTR stage 2 turbo cam I pulled out of my 5.3. Nothing wrong with it.

[@MartinMcMartin]

Just realised that the 5.3 is actually only about 320 cubic inches, so that's a big hamster wheel for it.

[@turbosupra2jzdragracingtob249]

We would retard the timing to put heat into the exhaust to spool a large turbo with a small engine. GL. I also used a FTI 5500 stall w a Glide.

[@jasonjoyner4745]

OSHA would love that fan😂😅😮

[@LSturboguy]

thats a big turbo for the little 5.3

[@davidreed6070]

Did you say you had 36 degrees of timing in an LS engine? I've not seen an LS make any power at 36.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

It’s only to try to get torque up at 2800-3200

[@davidreed6070]

@@TurboJohnRacing ok I haven't got that far, but mine backs up at anything after 30.

[@bartpang]

Nitrous is the converters friend!

[@leam1966]

may I suggest smaller piping 1 5/8 th headers and a 2 1/4 Y pipe

[@parkermccoy5908]

What did that turbo come off of, I have a Detroit 60 series turbo, will that work on the 5.3?

[@BigMikesGarage]

That low ram isn't helping the situation either, they are the ultimate torque killer.

[@markhead8075]

Murder Nova used nitrous to spool his turbos when he ran the small block

[@jensgustavsson2871]

try more feul! fat is better than leen. maby 32 deg ing? im wat you call inport racer 109cui and PG 7" converter.

[@boostinwillie]

I’m curious what the RPM on the two step set at.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

4000, converter is too tight to get there.

[@boostinwillie]

@@TurboJohnRacing I had to put a 19-0 stator in mine for it to spool my twins. .91 A/R at 4500 rpm. Without boost mine won’t get over 3000 rpm’s.

[@jaosnpalmer4541]

50 shot to help spool

[@joekip2002]

Just watched Steve Morris video and his timing is down to 2 degrees to get his turbos to spoil.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

If you pull timing while it's lugging on the converter, it will drop rpm and kill it before it can spool........

[@robertlaughlin62]

Am I the only one that heard you say it is a 427? You have the label of this video as 5.3. Something isn’t making sense there. Please explain the reason for the 5.3 on the title if you said this is a 427 in the car.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Old engine was a 427, it blew up. This is a 5.3 with rods and pistons! That's why it will not spool with the same torque converter and is getting changed.

[@robertlaughlin62]

Thank you! I didn’t catch that the old motor was a 427.

[@Mattvardaman]

36 degrees in a 5.3 ls? That seems about 7 degrees too far advanced.

[@stealthybrandon]

Agreed mine likes 27 coming onto converter

[@richardharris492]

Internal vs. External what's the difference???

[@TurboJohnRacing]

internal dumps fluid before it gets to the torque converter. external dumps fluid after it has gone through the torque converter

[@scottmienheartt2331]

I like that guy. Like me sort of. To the point not much extra lmao. I get called an asshole all the time due to it though.

[@danmyers9372]

Quiet people are often considered cold which is totally unfair.

[@scottmienheartt2331]

@danmyers9372 if you're in my catalog I could talk your ear off. But if I don't know you or much care for you. You're not getting anything out of me. I really like this guy though.

[@bryanfondren8362]

I’ve just never had a lot to say

[@scottmienheartt2331]

@bryanfondren8362 I get that. I really do. It's got to be weird talking to the camera also. Like damn John who are we talking to lol. Good luck BTW.

[@bryanfondren8362]

Lmao. Everybody that doesn’t know me thinks I’m an asshole. I just keep to myself. My circle is small

[@4familyman]

Wrong converter. Change out that stator and it will light off no problem.

[@locklear88dragracing28]

Do good

[@TennTitans]

Take a bunch of timing out and add some fuel and it will spool

[@theocdhub822]

15 blade stator doesn’t belong in a 5.3 period. 18 or 19 blade is what it needs

[@bigmikes2140]

Have you tried a anti glare screen protector on the computer. Might look better on the video

[@Smokey72013]

Good tech. I cringe when guys have slow spooling cars

[@davidresar8256]

Richen it up and take timing out.

[@danmyers9372]

I agree re: the timing but don’t you want to lean it to raise exhaust temps? Hotter exhaust moves faster.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

It has to be lean with a lot of timing to get it going. Once it starts building boost at 3 ish pounds, that’s when I can richer and snatch timing. If I pull timing, or fasten at 3000 rpm and this turbo it will loose rpm. Been there done that.

[@Stevesbe]

Nitrous

[@mattiasjansson4102]

it needs NOS :-)

[@TennTitans]

To much timing to light it off. Pull 10 degrees and add fuel. Way to much timing

[@jaygullion8013]

You coukd just take a page out of cleeters play ook and run some nitrous out to the turbo and use it to spool it up lmao just saying!

[@terroristcam]

Uncle Tony just did a video, rockers r to tight

[@TurboJohnRacing]

These are hydraulic.
