Gt45 ftw! You can get 2 for the price of one 7875😂

[@kriskirwan5109]

I was set on getting a 7875 for my project until I saw this video. Maybe 30hp for over $200 no thanks I’ll take a sub $200 turbo any day

[@schmittbox636]

We ran a gt45 all last year, raced every weekend. We ran the streetcar no prep index classes. Ran 6.50s and was super consistent and competitive!

Every beer has my name on it, except maybe bud light...

[@jacobnorth8642]

The best beer is the one you are drinking...

[@iketurner1124]

Are we all going to ignore the epic comedy at the end of the video on using your brain to save money in reference to benefits per dollar spent? "Buy this beer, it's the best, only $18 a six pack!"

[@TahoesNTurbos]

this is exactly why i watch your channel! straight to the point with none of the bullshit

[@vvvv-lu8zi]

But if you have manual transmission and you want it to spool better . does the 7875 better for that? The hotside is smaller i think?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Moved on from LS stuff a year ago.

[@sinistersilverado965]

the most power Holdner made with a GT45 was on a 4.8 liter made 800hp

[@nitro1271]

You can get 802 horsepower from a gt45 yes you can, with a Cam an heads no problem

[@nsmturbo5902]

Not at the wheels. Even though you "can" make 800 at the crank the boost curve is going to fall off. The turbo will be a restriction and the back pressure will be high. It's a great turbo for a realistic goal of 600HP. I will continue to buy them for sure

[@davebarron5939]

Stupid question, "How high is up?

[@aaadamt964]

Don't listen to this guy. I paid him to sharpen my mower blades. He put one of these turbos on it and it blew up on the second pass.

[@sanger440]

Denmah started bad mouthing gt45s shortly after he started pimping for vs racing. So it just echos all over the inter webs.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Yeah, weird how when base 7875's popped up all over eBay suddenly they were no good and needed to be GEN IV billets too lol

[@jamayajackson5256]

Yeah that guy is a total shill. That's what happens when you start whoring yourself out and accepting sponsorships

[@Justwalkawaygarage]

“I drink and I know things”

[@SuburbanMeyer]

Richard’s GT45 vs the world videos alone should have put this to rest, so I don’t understand why the people in the other group are losing their minds over this

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

It's a matter of perception, and perspective... They look at his graphs like I said, and start agonizing over 12hp here or there to better people they'll never see anyway 😂

[@operator5032]

Love reading these comments

[@nitro1271]

You're right about that one

[@ericbengtson3490]

Thanks for the fucking video. I am drinking my favorite beer right fucking now. Been thinking of boosting the 385 in my 1972 Nova. Umbilical hernia surgery with shit fucking insurance has set that thought back. God bless.

[@hotrod6919]

I went with the cheapest 7875 I could find for my f-body few years back cause the gt45 was to fat and rubbed on the radiator. I had plans of upgrading or resizing turbo later but its all i'll ever need or want. But I kinda do prefer the sound of my 10 blade vgt on my 6.0 Powerstroke these days lol

[@russellbroadwell]

When I did my turbo it was between the GT45 and eBay 7875. I picked the 7875 because it weighs less! 87 Mustang with 100% stock 5.0 motor went 12.34 @ 112 on less than 9 psi. Still tuning and turning it up!

[@karenthomson9749]

You gonna pinch them rings brah stay under 9.

[@fdarrenlendvay5004]

Preach!

[@fixins]

I'm paraphrasing a bit because I can't remember the exact numbers but it was something like "want 20 extra horsepower in your car for free? Lose 25 pounds."

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Lol, exactly, leave your friend at home 😂

[@russelljackson7034]

Right on

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@KD0LRG]

Right on most people will break their shit before getting past 600 hp. With power comes cost of doing business like a trans that isn't total bone stock 1980's. How about the rear end and drive shaft parts. Never forget the endless amounts of tires because you are going to fry them to the cords and throw sparks. I get a lot of stuff like you for cheap at the u pull. My truck or Tahoe doesn't know the difference between a 150.00 tire and 80.00 full set tires from the u pull. 🍺🍺

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

No kidding lol

[@pimpdaddy9604]

I’ve actually seen basically stock 350 with twin eBay GT 45 on it and it produced boost right around 2000 RPMs, which is good street size turbos

[@jamayajackson5256]

twin gt45s? no

[@nitro1271]

My shit sits because it's winter up here in New England an I don't want salt in my Chevy

[@randalblack518]

Pretty sure I know where this came from from and I haven't even watched the video yet 😂

[@randalblack518]

Lol confirmed about 1 min in.....

What's your ring gap!

Agree on the Innes & Gunn but for gods sake man! Drink it out of a glass!

[@kriskirwan5109]

Best pb&j is Welch’s jelly and jif peanut butter. Jif has 1.7 more peanuts in it than skippy does. Great video!

[@drewdavis239]

Did you melt that wastegate line yet? ( just busting balls)

[@shitbox82]

I’d like to use two GT45’s with a 454 some day. 🤔

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

They're about perfect for that

[@shitbox82]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer Just a fun street setup in my 80 C15. 😁

[@enermaxstephens1051]

What's safe boost for my old 350? Got a TBi 350 in my 87 silverado. GT45 for me too, but regulate the boost down? So I don't kill the old engine. Maybe 50 hp wouldn't hurt anything.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

0 psi is the only safe level lol. If you have fueling to keep it safe, you can run all the boost you want. With a TBI, you probably don't have the fueling.

[@theshark2804]

I might be going against the crowd but $100fir 30 hp is super cheap and that’s a noticeable difference in power

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

It's your decision, makes no difference to me lol.

[@toddgreen8976]

Don't need 100 lbs injectors I run deka 80's on a s480 at about 10 lbs boost

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I literally said I have more injector than I need lol

[@JoeHenry734]

Shiner?!?

[@dinglenutzog]

Innis and Gunn is excellent 🍺

[@19pjmichaud]

What's your take on waste gate size and boost creep?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

My wastegate is sprung for more boost that my turbo can make. I want that much boosy
