Has anyone used this turbo kit?(speedway motors)

[ZONES89RS]

Really wanting to give it a try on my 88. I want the exhaust to run back behind the cab and not some fender exit BS.

Anyone have any experience with it?

Lots of turbo threads lately.

Eventually they all end up in the same place. Plan to spend twice what you expect and have an enormous learning curve when you start trying to tune it.

Does your 88 already have an LS in it?

Lol @ fender exit BS.

That is not a complete kit, you'd still need all the cold side.

I’ve done turbo setups. I’m just curious about this particular kit.

Truck has a 5.3 but going to move to a 6 liter

Yes, captain obvious.

It’s half the reason I am interested in this kit. Because there isn’t a ton of room for a IC so I’m going to figure that out. I have cold side piping. Need a IC and BOV to finish that.

Just curious if this kit manages to allow exhaust beyond the engine compartment. It’s a street truck and fender exit is the east way out and screams racecar.

Oh, you're one of those guys. Asks for input and then explains how he doesn't need input.

A fender dump maximizes power, it's not the easy way out. Not ideal for a street truck, but people have different understandings of "street". If you can clock the housing fabbing a full exhaust shouldn't be a problem.

The Hooker manifolds are pretty good from what I understand. They exit down which isn't optimal for this truck, IMO, so you'd probably have to fab a U bend.

The eBay logs exit up which I think would just make it easier. Move the battery to the driver's side if you haven't already.

You are the one pointing out obvious ****.

Clearly don’t get what I’m trying to do so don’t bother with any further input.

They exist forward and it has the U bend with it. I’m in the fence if I can make it fly or not. Hard to do without first hand experience from others or my hands being on it. It looks promising and seems I can position the turbo pretty far forward that way.

Sucks I’m not finding anyone experienced with this kit

I didn't call a partial kit a kit...

Yeah, you right, no idea with forced induction anything.

Alright dude. This forum operates off of respect. If you respect the guys here, you might find the answer your looking for. He wasn’t trying to criticize you, just pointing out a fact to make sure you realized it. Suck it up, say thank you I realize that and go on with your day.

 

[ZONES89RS]

Respect is a two way street. He came off ****** to me. Cause and effect.

Just because I’m new to a forum doesn’t mean I’m new this any if this.

Laughing at me not wanting fended exit on what is a street truck isn’t funny. But thanks for showing an inability to be unbiased
