Turbo Shop Truck Hits The Dyno!

[@Stapleton42]

I’m actually in the process of building a high rpm LS using the old school firing order for this exact reason. Hunting a specific sound. Until this video I have never come across anyone actually testing this before. Thank you Steve 💪🏻

[@jamessahl]

I would love to have the same thing! Bring this to market Steve!!!

[@JESUSD6765]

Steve morris builds never disappoint 👏

[@salvatoregiovanni8967]

Steve seems like such an humble, down to earth guy. And I like the way he says “innerkewwler.”

[@gsxrap]

Sweet, my TBSS just made 968 to the tire on pump 93 and 21 psi. Very proud of it I did the machine work and engine build, fuel system, All electrical work, even built the 4L80 myself.

[@stevemorrisracing]

Very nice

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Another beautifully executed piece of engineering by Steve Morris Engines

[@newtonfirefly3584]

@gerrymilidantri6457; Steve Morris is a great, high level engine builder, assembler, mechanic that was also involved with building engines for professional drag racing teams mostly Pro-Mod and similar. Steve is not an engineer nor designs develops engines or other motor sports components. It seems that many common people are unaware of the basic differences between engineers, technicians, assemblers and such. The differences are similar to, with, within buildings, which people may be somewhat familiar with. A. The Architect designs the building with all of the details, including the layouts, plans for all of aspects of the building. B. The Builder, builds the building according to the plans C. There are also engineers involved within the building designs often, for the engineering aspects, details within the structure, also electrical systems and especially for new, or innovative designs, buildings and according to building codes, rules, etc. D. The builder, may have a foreman responsible to oversee all of the construction or also be the foreman. E. The construction is performed by trained individuals with construction skills. G. It is possible for one person may be the Architect, Engineer, Builder, Foreman and executes all of the construction or any combination from the top down. This is similar with every product including automobiles, motor vehicles, aircraft, electrical devices, power, electronics, etc. Hope this basic information is clear, helpful, useful, beneficial and taken within the context, intents and purpose desired. All the Best Sincerely

That is one cool shop truck . Most impressive; a true sleeper. Thanks for sharing.

[@fordpower8264]

That blue looks killer.. I think you should do a big SM “ Your logo” on the side

[@rockercover]

Watched a Dyno test where the testers ran an engine open at the header collector and another test with extension pipes (beyond the 4-1 collector), attached. Any header extension under 18 inches, resulted in less power. (Obviously, the sound seems to be the motivator for running uncorked at the collector, but I found that interesting.

[@macman231]

Steve, Sounds very good with the 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, would like to hear more of it at idle and with the cut out open if you can.

[@sabishiikarasu4158]

Tbss 🖤. Have a 08 with a 402 stroker / manual 4l80 . My daily truly , and bought it new . 273k on the chassis . Respect brotha 👊🏼🍻🦾

[@02f4irider]

It would be nice to see the whole thing blue. Or do from the bottom of the windows down blue and keep the top black. Thank you for all the knowledge you give us on your work!

[@bongosock]

I'm surprised by how civilized it sounds, for being such a beast :)

[@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915]

This is great info. The raspy LS sound drives me crazy. I am going to do a build with the old SBC/BBC firing order.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Great rig, the blue looks alright don't know about the whole car, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@SamuelBrownDPnetwork]

Man.. makes me real excited to make my envoy something of this caliber

[@jplperformance9073]

I love this guy's energy and freaking knowledge. I wish I had the money to have my sbf F1A build done by him but I'm not ready to spend the money yet. I'm see how far safle I can take a stock block

[@ajspak874]

that is so cool it's got to be a blast to drive. I like that the ls has a little better sound to it with that different firing order cam

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@nickb289]

Sweet daily ride. I tell people all the time, my Mustang was the most fun at about 650-700 rwhp. More than that it was hard to have fun on the streets.

[@dansmith207]

If I ever saw you out driving, I'm gonna floor my minivan just to watch and hear that thing take off. Lol

[@OzarksWildman]

Those Kumho’s are pretty good tires. I’ve run them pretty fast but, not as fast as that shop truck.

[@dudemcgee256]

Those are Hankook Ventus ST III tires. I've got a set on my Sierra Denali. Nice tires!

[@dudemcgee256]

Notice your name says Ozarks. I'm in that area myself!

[@unclejimbo861]

Pretty slick 'daily driver' there.. sounds really solid.

[@baldhead7705]

Dude love the sign with the fish

[@mutfish]

Love the trailblazer content, keep it coming!

[@tirbomax]

this is pretty neat, i have an 08 saab 9-7x 5.3i that is stock except for PAC 1218 springs and a sloppy stage 2 cam...for now

[@fmerkl]

Nice ride Steve!!

[@christopherbarrett8710]

Yes! I've been waiting for this, thanks Steve!

[@lanegeisewite1436]

Fuckin badass TBSS!! Absolutely love this truck!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪💪

[@claibornewoodlief8310]

Another good video Steve I'm sorry I hadn't had any content lately but I've been very sick for over the last month and I still ain't well I love the combination on the trailblazer SS I was thinking considering one for my 65 C10 similar to around a thousand horsepower on my daily driver truck but I have to put that on the back burner for now keep the contents going enjoy your videos I do think your excellent machine is too

[@bcbloc02]

The best part is it is Dewey approved! I would have done locking hubs and a disengage transfer case so you could still do 4wd launches if you wanted but it would drive nice. Perhaps a suburban with an smx would be a better platform. for a daily 1000rwhp. Probably could even bump it to 1250 with the same handling with the less flexy body. 🙂

[@VBSkiddles]

We need a ride along video in this thing!

[@markim5087]

I like it better in black than blue, wish he had done it in that red that mopar or one that ford uses on their raptors.

[@acurarl9929]

So you can change firing order with camshaft but with standard crank? Interesting. Guess that makes sense just nvr thought bout it.

[@rossmagwood1381]

yep just have to remeber that when you go to set the timin

[@nasty509ss]

Dam that thing sounds goooood.

[@timothyarnott3584]

I just LOVE IT!!!!....STUPID power for that truck......SO glad i signed up!!!!!.....i see so many dif things, dif applications, AWESOME, i'm wondering if you cud do another vid on yer Ford Cammer/turbo build.....my DIE HARD Ford guy boss, was intrested in whats happening....(he's 70, been around this for a LONG time)......wud be nice to have an update....PEACE to you Steve, and ur vids NEVER disapoint!!!

[@stevemorrisracing]

In process

[@timothyarnott3584]

@@stevemorrisracing 👍 TY sir!!

[@desertrat8322]

Awesome video Steve !!

[@charliegivilancz6412]

I like the sound of the firing order. I've seen the mid and rear mounted turbos and you're exactly right. They are lazy and you better have a good scavenge pump. When they fail it's a lot of SMOKE!

[@chrisstarnes2749]

55 my ass Steve you not fooling me lol

[@patrickvaugn897]

Cool project

[@richardpenner4686]

Nice truck....love it

[@glenbrannon7224]

Sounds wicked!

[@GoFasterHD]

Andy does nice work, He wired up my bike.

[@seannorris8893]

Can you make a video or is there a video that shows everything with oiling system on turbo? I’m in the process of a mid mount turbo on my Chevy ssr and keep getting oil inside exhaust and cold side

[@David07R1]

I just picked up my first TBSS. Had a blown motor and trans. I’ve got a built 6L and a 4L80e. I’d love to do the same turbo setup is there a write up on this SS so I can get ideas on how to go with the turbo setup ??

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Standard firing order sounds that way because of # 5 and 7 right next to each other and sequential in the firing order. Patata patata patata

[@donaldcreg5110]

It's your story you tell it anyway you want to. Mexico lmao 🤣😂

[@bds598]

"it gets dicey" "this is a good way to get hurt" "it's a handful" -big grin on his face the whole time. Ok, Steve, we hear you 1,000 hp at the crank is a bit much for the street 😉

[@mcgregor711]

I would love to do this with my tbss.

[@steven44799]

Assuming a flat plane crank would do the same thing and be basically the same as a cross plane crank power wise if everything else about the engine is the same, but a wildly different exhaust note?

[@davecarroll5989]

Coolest peice of equipment

[@PitBullEngines]

Love the blue Steve.

[@royduenas1192]

That's a super cool ride but that mirror finish is awesome as well! 👌🏼💯🇬🇺

[@brentbeiler7051]

Rite on cool as usual

[@victormackenzie-davis2711]

"PRIVATE ROADS" I often go into private communities to test my vehicles it's a shorter drive than to Mexico, LOL

[@mikestan5771]

Steve, where can I get one of those intercoolers? I have a similar setup (not nearly as nice or powerful) and I need an intercooler. What a great build! Thanks, Mike

[@stevemorrisracing]

1 off we built it by hand

[@quazster]

New laptop running the dyno? With SSD I presume? Need to get the Death Trap back to see if that did the trick and no more blue screens 😅

[@kylestubblefield3404]

My understanding of the LS Firing order, it makes it "better balanced" in power so it can rev higher? Can you speak to that

[@rossmagwood1381]

he JUST Said it made zero difference on the dyno

[@kylestubblefield3404]

He said it made the same horsepower numbers. I asked about the balance in firing and rev limitation, e.g. max RPM.

[@Stapleton42]

@@kylestubblefield3404 Allegedly GM did it on the LS for more balanced bearing wear but who knows. It’s the same firing order as the small block ford too. Nascar Chevy engines used to rev to 10k on the conventional firing order without any issue so it’s not a limiting factor for rpm.

[@rpturbo]

Maybe fastest on 22's, but Shawn's Man Van goes at least 9.6x's AWD. But still super freaking cool!

[@stevemorrisracing]

1.65 sixty ft 😁

[@floridaman1776]

Are those awd parts still available.i have a lsr block I need built also. I'm trying to beat your awd trailblazer ss record. What better than to be helped by the guy who holds the record so he can still be part of it.

[@ianriordan6382]

Will you be doing any N/A LS3 real firing order cams? I have a 2017 Holden Caprice LS3 with cold air and an exhaust. Great car, dud sound. It's no race car, but I hate the "barking dog" note. Like my previous LS1 '05 Holden Statesman, they just don't sound like my old SBCs or my 454 K3500. I'm not alone in wanting to do this. Your Trailblazer is proof of how good this can sound.

[@maurymoynihan5245]

Wondering if the remote throttlebody gained any results? Low end Tq?...hp?

[@JerryandJack]

That’s one hell of a grocery getter😅

[@stevemorrisracing]

Yes sir

[@aslacker]

Awesome , Love it

[@keithharden7844]

I want that Trailblazer.

[@markim5087]

Love how everyone has started saying oh 8ts Mexico, like cleetus, I watched him go 160mph on flas public roads, then say it’s Mexico, yet there’s other videos with the same trees!and back ground from in front of his track..lol..

[@Lyfe_of_Sylvia]

I absolutely love trailblazers, strait 6 or V8s

[@aaronnoyb]

Where's the throttle body hiding?? Is it under the truck near the turbo?? Or the reducer on the front of the plenum actually the throttle body?? I didn't see a cable or servo motor anywhere.

[@stevemorrisracing]

On intercooler

[@aaronnoyb]

@@stevemorrisracingThanks for the reply. Is that for packaging reasons or to increase plenum volume??

[@jerrdog5568]

I think it actually does sound better than an LS

[@BigSlickRick75]

Can you please explain why when you have an engine on the dyno stand that when you accelerate it sounds like you're coming off the accelerator then getting back on the accelerator mid pull?

[@BucketList22]

Do you have to run an oil pump to return the oil from the turbo to the engine? I assume so. What color blue is that?

[@stevemorrisracing]

Yes. Not sure

[@RAWRMotorsports]

I have an 02 escalade ive been building up .. I removed all the AWD stuff as well .. great minds think alike eh lol

[@MrBlackbutang]

Swapping firing order has longevity improvements.

[@KALSPL]

I’ve noticed a lot of Americans do many trips to Mexico just to drive your cars 😂

[@87mustang87]

Needs some 10 way double adjustable shocks front an rear.

[@timtaylor6147]

And how much pressure per 1000rpm do you like to see in turbo street engines

[@aumetalmental8403]

Those parts you have would be exactly what I need. I have an AWD Astro Van and want to customize it for a particular use I had in mind. What kind of $$$ you looking for? 🤔✌️😎

[@stevemorrisracing]

700 for all of it 500 for the 4 wheel drive case and center section and jack shaft assembly

Hi love and respect from Denmark 🇩🇰 a small question, what about water/rain and the air filter placement best regards Carsten Denmark 🇩🇰

[@stevemorrisracing]

It has not been a problem I do not drive through ponds or standing water. Rain has not been a issue

[@toddclark332]

What about station wagon did you leave it on the street from miles forever thanks for the video have a great what's left of this week see ya

[@MrBlackbutang]

Love your mechanical engineering skills. Building the same in ford 351 version. Not so much lag though compounded turbo’s absolutely awesome 😊

[@newtonfirefly3584]

@MrBlackbutang; Steve is an engine builder, technician, assembler, mechanic which some fabrication skills not an engineer. Please see my comments involving the basic descriptions to@gerrymilidantri6457; All The Best Sincerely

[@OldDirtGuy]

It's kind of funny. I always thought that over 100hp on a street bike made them kind of boring on the street because they are instantly going way too fast any time you lean on them at all. Well, they weigh less than a tenth as much as Steve's car. So that's right in the ball park. The thing is, you can buy 200hp motorcycles right off of the showroom floor and they cost less than a cheap car. My issue right now is that you can't buy a premium motorcycle that is light weight and makes around 80 to 90hp. All the bikes in that range are heavy budget bikes with a lot of substandard components.

[@ThePeopleVerse]

What do you consider "pump gas" ? We have .... 87, 89, 93 and 94... as well as E85. Please pick a number...😊❤

[@bydancar]

Amazing ❤

[@dave5833]

Just found your channel and subscribed thanks. Can you swap race gas for pump gas without a re-tune on the Dyno?

There is 2 tunes Hence the lap top And touch screen dash

Sweet trailblazer l would like to see that craziness you mention in action on the street. thanks for sharing your cool toys.

I wanna see this run against the cleetus blazer 😯

[@crazylarryjr]

Supposedly the 18726543 is supposedly smother (vibration wise) to 18436572. I know the first FO was used to smooth out the engine for endurance and it was adopted by GM for the same reasons. This is all i heard from other vids and online articles, never did it myself

[@cdrbmw]

Doesn´t the engine suck in a lot of dirt sitting down so low, and under the car? will this not wear out the engine?

[@doctordifferentialspeedsho9506]

I want the awd t case. Just need to know how to contact you and get you paid
