what did you do the the coolant return form the turbo? did that go under the intake?

 

[JrTuner]

I cut a piece of steel out and welded the original hole shut. Then you can see from the one pic that I drilled another hole and welded in a 3/8" NPT bung and screwed a 3/8" hose barb fitting into that to run the hose to the turbo.

I dont have a myspace.

Looks good.


Is that a K&N intake tube you have?

I just finished a GT4088 install on an LLY and I was able to utilize all the stock stuff. Truck has a banks intake on it and the customer didn't want to ditch it. Just had to "shave" the stock 90* elbow down to a 4" diameter and connect the two with a silicone boot. As far as the LB7 motor's go, its a little more of a pain!

Go figure that the LMM has been the easiest turbo install I have done, when everyone had first thought it wouldve been the biggest pain.:nanawrench:

We also moved the nipple farther over towards the drivers side-it was in my way!!!! Anyway, all i could find at the time was some Spectre pieces at O'rilleys.
The pics are too big for att so here is a link. Go thru the album, see if you can recogonize what the rubber 5" to 4" elbow is-plumbers should know

Fixed it for you Larry, like I was telling you, this V-bulletin forum format is a lot more user friendly than what your used to on S.A. Racing........normally you dont need photobucket to upload images

Some excellent info in this thread. Suppliers for tubing etc is way cool.

Larry that truck needs a bath bad, I would of had to pressure wash that engine bay before that beautiful engine went back into it:rofl:

 

[xcablb7]

when i put my pieced together a5k on i had a dodge 4" tailpipe (they sent 2 for some reason) and factory airbox leftover. the tailpipe actualy fit perfect with the boot that went from the box to the silencer ! cheap but not too crude.

can you tow with the s400??

 

[ripmf666]

bump whore like Larry

Is the GT4088 still considered the best for the LLY for an all around turbo

 

[JOHNBOY]

I dont care for the GT40 turbos. I much prefer the HTT for an upgrade.

 

[RENODMAX]

I second that John. I had a 4088 and the power to EGT ratio is wayyy off. Runs far too hot for the power you get, and it has the characteristics of a big charger as far as lighting but not the power. Pretty much a lose lose.

I would agree EGT's are high hopefully 2 1/8 inch up pipes might help a few hundred degrees. But you never know

Okay thanks for the heads up. I look into the HTT.
