LET'S TALK TECH-INSTALLING TURBO ON 8.1L BBC (MY STUPID MISTAKE)

GOT ALL FINISHED INSTALLING THE SINGLE S475 TURBO FROM SUMMIT RACING ON THE 8.1L! TIME FOR SOME BOOST.....NOT? WAS IT MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE OR CUT YOUR PERFECTLY GOOD Y PIPE AND HAVE TO FIX IT? FIND OUT WHAT I DID TONITE LIVE AT WESTECH PERFORMANCE!

You can run four of the charge air coolers by splitting charge air into two streams, then having each stream go through two of the coolers, and you will end up with close to the same pressure drop overall, but with four times the available cooling of the charge air. Imagine an engine with any PSI you wanted, but with the intake air almost right at ambient temperature.

[@genemounce8302]

Close to that 200k sub mark! 😎🤙

[@bigmark204]

Regular in South West Florida is $3.25 the E85 at Race Track Gas station is $3.02 I. Did 9 gallons of 93 octane and 3.5 gallons of E85 and it said I was at 47 percent E85 on HP tuners my 2014 caprice PPV is flex fuel so it does have the sensor and HP tuners reads it.

[@AnthonyWilliams-qn8vk]

Maybe a hi ram style of intake so it will run higher rpm

[@orangetruckman]

Mistakes are stupid if you don’t learn from it 😉

[@fenatic7484]

If you don’t try, you will never fall, but you will never succeed either., that is the beauty of experience. Bravery is a virtue and caution where you must. You can’t know until you try.

[@terrywillis5784]

They say you’re not going fast till you spin out !!!

[@kevinnesbit7934]

Love the channel Im learning a lot. Do you think youll ever start showing full builds.

[@SuperXs1100]

GM had an offshore program that never took with the HP3 project. With ported factory head and intake they were making 550hp. Problem was it would cut into mercury sales and was dropped for money reasons.

[@larryhofer2266]

Larry hofer.. You will find this engine amazing,, Just a mixture of the best of the 454 and LS engine. Yep, boost will over come the poor short side Radius, but that is the same with all engines. Boost rules. Hank Slocum has an 8.1 making upwards of 2500 HP and hasn't broke the bottom end yet. don't

[@lazaro121774]

Excellent video¡¡¡...

[@michaelblacktree]

Cut twice and measure once can work, if you have some spare time. 😛

[@glennanderson4440]

Building a Hofer supplied 8.8l block. Also have ported Dart 2.25x1.88 iron heads,, 242/249 x .650 cam , 8.5:1, forged bottom, i/c. Forged bottom, all studded. No where near dyno yet. What twins? I like 7875s 1.25 a/r T4s as I can get a normal and a reverse rotation, 22lbs for tight packaging reasons.....Good or back pressure problem.

[@richardholdener1727]

TWIN 7875S WILL GO 2000 HP

[@glennanderson4440]

@@richardholdener1727Thanks for the quick response. Thats what I thought, I figured you had run them successfully, VSracing who sells them and should know... thinks they are too small and will have high backpressure...Im doubtful, not at 1200 or less. I just dont have the space in a marine doghouse for 40-45lbers hanging on my H2O aluminum logs,

[@herbscheit2061]

Are you helping Chip on his straight 8? Im looking for info on the 8s,buick,olds,packard,pontiac and I believe chrysler built them and Id like to tune a buick that I found.

[@richardholdener1727]

nope-just spoke with him about it

[@stevesolo16]

Will a truck turbo work on my BBC? The Pick a Part has loads of those?

[@richardholdener1727]

two would be better

[@skami1284]

Go Chili bomb!

[@shoominati23]

Are you gonna do a 3.4 DOHC CHevy V6 someday?

[@richardholdener1727]

ive done a few things to those

[@itsgoodgarage3048]

I got one of these in the garage... can't wait to put it in something, what fuel management system are you using?

[@richardholdener1727]

holley

[@billskalicky5400]

Tig welded?

[@richardholdener1727]

nope

[@johnlowe4473]

Help me with the decisions on my channel 8.1l swap AWD 94 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA.

[@richardholdener1727]

what decision

[@johnlowe4473]

Whipple supercharger or Turbo

[@herbscheit2061]

Hey Richard you dont do any diesel testing?

[@richardholdener1727]

no diesel

[@mikemcguire2635]

It's amazing how many people will come on here and matter of factly spee absolute NONSENSE. 😂😂

[@steve6992]

You might've had to modify the y-pipe anyway because that's a tall deck

[@richardholdener1727]

great point!

[@Kanawiggz_]

What do you think about boosting an aluminum SBE 6.2? Power/boost limit?

[@richardholdener1727]

an ls3?

[@andrewmontgomery1763]

Over 1000 hp dude, watch the gazillion of videos Richard has posted, and then go over to the Sloppy channel and see at the clips of aluminum 6.0/6.2 vehicles he's tuned that make well over 700 routinely.

[@RSADYNAMICS]

Why ever happened to the k20 build with the bigger pistons rings gaps on stock internals ???

[@richardholdener1727]

stock pistons

[@RSADYNAMICS]

@@richardholdener1727 yes that’s the one .would love to see a video of the results 😀
