God thats a massive turbo. Makes the stock Mitsubishi TD04 13c on my car look like a fidget spinner lol.

Smallest Pushrod V8 GM made from 1999+ , big turbo, id combo turbo it or supercharger feeding a turbo. Check out the GM Atlas 2800, 2900, 3500, 3700, 4200, stuff it in a mitsu/suby/nissan/honda/mazda/toyota or the luxury variants, or german cars lol

Thanks!

[@dougrathbun4747]

the dyno shot made me think that!

[@ShainAndrews]

O2 sensor not picking up the rich condition when boost was blowing the candles out? You mentioned you looked at the logs. Figured something would show up, but maybe the sensor location is making it very inaccurate.

Are you blowing through the converter?

[@BmoreFox]

Gen 3 4.8 ? What cam & any other engine stuff?

[@HorsepowerDepot]

Gen 3.5 24x crank with gen 4 internals. Came in 04-06 trucks. We should have a video real soon with more details.

[@davelowets]

Let us know how that works out for you in the reliability department... And no bullshitting. I've been there, and done that, with stock bottom-end 4.8's and they don't last too long before they scatter at those power levels. The reality is, yep, one can post big numbers to the internet with one, but it's not going to last like a proper built bottom end will. Good luck with it either way, 1000h.p. is still impressive, whether it lasts or not.

[@HorsepowerDepot]

This 4.8 has been in this car since 2017 it’s never missed a beat. Tune up has everything to do with why it lasts. A bad tune is why 95 percent of other stock bottom ends blow up.

[@davelowets]

@@HorsepowerDepot Its been making over a thousand horsepower since 2017??

[@HorsepowerDepot]

It’s made over 900 since 2017.

[@davelowets]

@@HorsepowerDepot 900 I can believe. Over 1000 on a stock bottom end is a time bomb.

[@HorsepowerDepot]

It has a Team Z k member with their mounts.

[@infamousnova]

What did it make on 20psi, what is the timing at?

[@HorsepowerDepot]

It made 899 on 25 psi. Timing was probably around 15 deg on 25 psi.

[@robertstoyles]

It's not straight out of the junkyard because I'm willing to bet heads been pulled rings were gapped and that's not the stock cam or valve springs

[@robertmiddleton8199]

I need recipe for a 4.8 daily driver with lil bit of power.

[@B7_S4_Turbo]

Simple. Add turbo.

[@6or1]

How was the boost pressure compared to the smaller turbo?

[@HorsepowerDepot]

Little more boost 32 vs 27. But way less timing. Trying to keep the stock rods happy.

[@JasonfromBiripiCountry]

@@HorsepowerDepot can't see the rods lasting at 1200 go let alone 1000. Are you guys going to race it ? Or is it going to be a dyno/KZbin queen ?

@@HorsepowerDepot I’m considering building a Tahoe with a 4.8 just doing cam and springs and turbo. Any tips? This will be my first “build”.

[@HorsepowerDepot]

Any kind of turbo cam, a good set of springs, a smaller sized turbo, and a good tuner and you’ll be good. Too many people get caught up in having a perfect setup and spend way too much money. You’ll be killing your 4l60 about every 2 minutes though lol.

@@HorsepowerDepot Stock untouched rings?
