Turbo 6.0L LS Dyno Tuning at KSR!

[@bult2drag]

Thank you Kevin for all the help with the camaro... means alot

[@davidpartridge4980]

Turbo specs would help us future 1000whp seekers 😮. Knowing it’s tapped out which one you thinking of doing next

[@bult2drag]

The hot side is on the smaller side. Going to upgrade to the biggest I can for the 80 mm which is 132 . Then I'll talk about upgrading the whole turbo

[@ColeN3463]

Nice ride man. Hope you have lots of fun with it!

[@zazz69ed]

awesome ride and thanks for letting kevin share it with us.

[@bult2drag]

No problem fellas ...new fuel pump on the way as I write this

[@norfolknomad]

It amazes me how you just know all this stuff and the attention to detail that you put into everything.

[@stephcooper5998]

Kevin stay safe. Ian's coming.

[@danmyers9372]

Praying Cleetus’ shop, FF and BMP survive. More importantly that everyone makes it through with no injuries or loss of life.

[@5ohslider]

Luckily it looks like it hit south of them instead of dead on...

[@williambranco7710]

Our way seems like it won't be so bad

[@Cadwerx1]

LOL that was a little smoother, Plunk the cam falls. Kevin THANK YOU for your videos. Be well and safe. Everyone have a great day!!

[@christopherbarrett8710]

As always I love these dyno videos because I always learn something new

[@andrewstoffel1170]

Proper race car stuff 👍 Hope you all stay safe.

Thanks! 😊

[@chrisjohnson8486]

This is one of my fav things, when you use the dyno and show some real muscle.

[@chief3378]

hope you and your coworkers are safe great video ohh yeah I keep getting dizzy when we fall over

[@Thriller627]

Chees Kevin! I love all your work , keep up the great videos always a pleasure to watch!

[@fastjweb]

awesome vid. my turbo sierra 371" billet 85/96 1.32 made a little over 1000 unlocked through 80e and 9" and started doing same thing. anything over 24lbs all the way up to 29ish, just picked up 5hp. pretty sure its time for a bigger turbine.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Pretty healthy setup. Going to be a fun ride!

[@don-e4838]

Stay safe out there.

[@chasechevy8933]

Yeah buddy! As Derek would say, feed her the onions!! Nice job Kev

[@barryk253]

I hope you and all of your family and friends stay safe I’m sure the building codes have been adjusted over the years for just these storms. I live in the Canadian prairies and we don’t see wind like you guys are seeing 🙏

Love 4th gens

[@jasonstanford]

Some great info in this one. Thanks buddy!

[@jnic69]

This gets me pumped to work on my fbody. Currently in a million pieces getting twin turbos, my terminator is on backorder with no ship date though 😒

[@mrwinston_thepug]

Sweet camaro!

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Stay safe. Our son is the Course Superintendent at Crown Colony Golf & Country Club in Fort Myers, and is going to stay at work rather than risk the drive back to Bonita Springs. He's expecting some flooding of the course on the backside of Ian (that might be open to misinterpretation) with a predicted storm surge of up to 18' owing to it coinciding with high tide. The tide gauge at Naples Pier is showing some 5' above the normal high tide level ... at low tide! Update: He drove home before the worst hit.

[@Mavrik-60]

Bumped my hose when the camera fell but I'm ok. Good one as usual Keepemcoming

[@bobbymccourt6794]

Nice ride! Kev, Will we be seeing that sick Nova on the lift anytime in the future? I’m a Nova fanatic and would love more info on it!

[@scottr9900]

Hope you and yours are all right.

Awesome how u can squeeze the most power out of a vehicle. B safe with that hurricane coming in

[@jamadeus13]

Gainesville is probably not going to get hit as hard as other places.

[@markellis796]

All I realise when watching Kevin tune a car is just how little I know!

[@lanegeisewite1436]

Another badass Chevrolet! Cant beat them! Keep it going guys!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪

[@Fabrice1970]

Good luck with the hurricane. Stay safe mate

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Before the power went out, our son in Bonita Springs reported that the water from the 12' storm surge was chest deep in the parking lot of his condo about 1.5 miles inland (but SW Florida being old swampland, the water can rise in canals and lakes before it's seen on the roads, etc. By implication that means that his F150 was half underwater and that all local shops were flooded too. We hope he's got food in. His golf course in Fort Myers will have been badly affected too, reports are that the flood waters there reached beyond I75. Now waiting for daylight when hopefully we'll get aerial views of the extent of the flooding. We're due out there (from UK) in November/December, and it might well still be bad then. Hoping your people, shop and cars were not affected.

[@dylanferguson4628]

Good luck Kevin and the KZbin channel and the hurricane

[@robertchristy9883]

prayers for safety during the storm

[@Rebar77_real]

Nuts how everyone has 1000hp these days. Used to be unheard of outside of the Top Fuelers. Yes I would like some slippers and a nap, who wouldn't? Have fun riding out what's-his-wind!

[@Rebar77_real]

@@newtonfirefly3584 Sir, yes sir! I completely forgot about the older F1 engines, thanks! Imagine one of those in the burnout car with that collector, eh? Kevin did say that block wasn't the freshest to begin with...

Any updates on what this thing runs? I'm building a similar setup 6.0 80mm and wonder what 900whp in my fox would run

[@MichaelBrown1432]

I'll be praying for y'all. Stay safe!

I like turbos too 😁boosta bus 😉☮️

Hey Kevin, nurse Eric here from buffalo ny, just wondering where I can pick up that highly innovated ear protection at around me? Like Amazon ? 😂 j/k still love your content, stay safe buddy. Prayers for all Florida peoples enduring this weather situation.🙏🏼🇺🇸🫡

[@schase5193]

Hey guys, really enjoyed those pulls. I'm building a 98 Camaro with a 6.0 Aluminum block. I also have an LY6 Steel Block which will become 415ci. really want to go with twin turbos and Would like to make at least 1400 HP as the guys here are not fooling around. Can you tell me what turbos I may need? don't know much about force induction. Also a good camshaft with some chop to the idle, please. really hate the stock cam sound. thanks in advance for any help you could share.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Reach out to Eric at the shop and he can get you setup with the parts that you need to make it happen! 352-225-1210

[@borgonianevolution]

I noticed wheel speed stayed at 162 mph the 5 or more runs. Is it blowing thru the converter at ~ the 800 hp mark? No wheel speed change that dyno wont read higher hp will it? That is like the equivalent of tire slip ?

[@tmacie2]

Wheel speed is linked to RPM, not HP. Horsepower is how fast you get to that speed. If he stops the pull at 7900 each time, the wheel speed will be 162 each time.

[@borgonianevolution]

@@tmacie2 Except he hit 162 on the mid / upper 6000ish rpm hit around when when the fuel pump was fluttering... It was after that part he was hitting the higher rpm. So at 7900 should have been a tad faster no?

[@guy_autordie]

@@borgonianevolution yes, it should, but converter are black magic to me.

[@borgonianevolution]

@@guy_autordie yeah with all the newer stuff with pressure gates and dumps and all that.. hard to tell anything anymore unless you have the exact specs on what each car has. Gone are the days of knowing 18436572 and what a super coil is is good.

[@johnvandertoorn3234]

Would E85 make a difference?

[@416Burrito]

Your dyno screen didn't black out this time during the pulls. What'd you do to fix it?

[@stephendoing2253]

Hope you guys are safe

[@Jeffrey-ed8sz]

Is what you call Dome Pressure the intake pressure?

[@jakster1952]

Tune that piano and not the fish 🐟! 😎👍🌀. It’s freaking windy 🌬 there!

[@fergusonhr]

Got confused on the fuel pressure versus fuel volume...can you please explain more sir? I Know line size can affect volume

[@kilgorefamily76]

Nice looking car. Looks like your camera can only take 12-14 pounds of boost before it lays over - time to upgrade.

[@ianf2985]

When you do these dyno sessions, do you charge by the hour? All the time you spend chasing things down does that just end up costing the customer more? Must make it hard to schedule time for these though.

[@uberdang830]

He gose through it in a previous video. He made it a few months back. If I find it I'll edit my comment with the link.

[@jlf5376]

Can you explain what dome pressure means?

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

It is the Dome on top of the Wastegate. They are using co2 to pressure the Dome of the Wastegate and that is fighting the exhaust pressure. So adding more pressure to the top of the Wastegate or (dome pressure) is going to stop the exhaust pressure blowing the Wastegate open and therefor making more boost.

[@danielsullivan9865]

What size is the turbo? Is the engine of 408 or 370? Great video

[@danielsullivan9865]

@@newtonfirefly3584 Thanks for the reply. We are running almost exactly the same set up 366 in.³ 6.0 L iron block. We’re running twin 69 mm SXE Borg Warner turbos with .96 AR turbines. Small 226 231 turbo camshaft with short runner Holley sniper intake, Arromotive2000 and 750 Magna fuel pumps, 210 pound injectors on e85. Pro touring Stick shift running 165 at 8.8 1/4 mile. 24 pounds boost making about 1085 whp. If you have the camshaft a 102 mm would work great for your set up, but I’m sure that 88 has plenty of power left in it if you supply enough fuel and keep the RPMs below 6800. 👍

[@chuckmarshall2709]

What's the deal with the maroon car up on the lift in the dyno room kiven

[@Rollout001]

Finnegan would agree with you about liking fuel pressure.

[@OC_Bob]

Kevin you should make KSR valve covers, I think they would look awesome.

[@jeffqueen4060]

What brand and size turbo is on this car?

[@bult2drag]

Borg Warner 80 mm billet wheel

[@ArchAngel-FJB]

Just watching this video in the dark with no ac....dammit Ian.

[@Fast351]

Kevin, do yourself a favor and get some injection molded ear plugs. I shoot competitively and that's the most comfortable and effective hearing protection. Take it from a guy that's lost quite a bit already, protect your ears.

[@jeffreybamford1171]

Help we fell over .one beer to many..

[@zulumagoo1]

Dear KSR Kevin, Is THIS the car from the trailer in back right corner of shop lot? I am needing closure. Lol. Fascinating the way the power can jump with a little more boost. I predict he will buy a bigger turba. You mentioned "may have found limit of boost of this size?" Gardener's Farmacy Kip

Shhweet!! sounds awesome over 6k;s Kevin. What is your HONOST opinion of the GM 2.7 4 cyl engine that seems to be getting forced on consumers? I just dont see the logic ....but, I know little abou turbos. (except that chevys 2.7 motors are known to eat alot of oil). is that a thing more commonly found in the turbo world ? I'm a HUUGE LS fan....so I'm having a hard time wrapping my noggin around the idea of 4 banger half ton pick em up trucks 🤯🔫
