Sweet! I bet you will destroy your old times once this baby is hooked up. Good luck with the project!

 

Just guessing I'm figuring this with a nice spearco intercooler running 5-7lbs of boost should get me easily into the high 11's @110-114mph

The 3400 stall converter will allow me to build prob 75% boost before i ever leave the line and be at full boost within 200-300 rpm's Should definatly be a fun ride on the street/track

 

Nice turbo. How much was it? Ill be waiting to see it

 

Out the door price from a retailer on ebay was $1,689 delivered to my door.. retails for well over $1,900 though..

 

nice Turbo!

 

Kool. When are you getting it put on?

 

me and a good mechanic friend are going to do all the fab work, he installed my cams back in 07' He was the first mechanic outside of jim wolfs mechanics themselves to install them so i have total faith in his ability Not to mention he also has 2 bad *** trucks himself 1 is a turbo diesel, and nother is a 11 second 64' ford /w a 383 stroker motor in it...

I'm figuring late july or early august as the timeframe for install

 

ooooooooooooh

:thumbsup:

 

Now here's a Titan with a turbo in it's future that doesn't sound like a pipe dream. Good luck with the installation Toomny. Please post videos when you are done.

 

Wow, I definitely want to see the outcome of this.

 

Dont forget, you owe me a ride!!

 

Nice. Cant wait for the outcome.

 

Holy shnikes!

 

Sweet! I need a few minutes alone now... :smoke:
I'll bet you did too when you opened it up :eyebrow:

 

did yuo end up ditching the audio setup?

Thats going to be one FAST Titan!

 

not ditched i just might be adding a whole lot less.. maybe 2 10 subs and good sound quality mids but that'll come much later..

 

10's???????

 

for now i think high 11's is bout what it will run with 5-7lbs of boost and my tranny mods..

after the motor is built and i can crank up the boost sure i think 10's would be possible with 650-700 rwhp

 

Looks good man, I think if anyone has the ability to do this right its you. My suggestion if at all possible is to not do the remote turbo setup if you can avoid it. something to me about having a hot turbo under a truck just doesnt seem right to me. It would take some work to get it under the hood. but, i bet its possible. I would think adding a bulge or raised section to the hood would help. If you do go with a standard under the hood setup who will you have make the manifold? Its a very critical piece to the whole thing. which waste gate are you planning on? Are you going to run the waste gate open? :teethmast I'm not sure how much experience you have with boost. But, get a good data logging wideband it will be your most critical diagnostic tool. Oh ... and spend the money for a GOOD tuner. I went through 2 "good" tuners before I found a truely good tuner. It was evident off the bat that he was the guy. Plus it didnt hurt that he tuned ferarri's and audi rally cars either.

 

Already have digital wideband gauge with logging capability and Uprev Cipher so i can get rb's titan to get me 90-95% tuned then just go to uprev to see what she does on the dyno and polish off the tune if they think they can squeeze out more..

thier will be little to no lag with it being mounted remotely.. i dont want it under my hood cause it is cramped under there already and dont want it messing up all my plastic parts.. not to mention the manifolds would have to be custom made, which me nor my friend have the ability to do or time.. remote setups imo are the way to go for simplicitys sake might take more piping but it'll turn out wicked in the end..

total parts list price is already over $8,300 bucks

Still have 5k of stuff left to buy

60mm tial wastegate 560.00
50mm tial "Q" Blow off valve 250.00
1000cc injectors 850.00
PMaf Maf sensor 225.00
Aeromotive EFI Fuel pump 450.00
Aeromotive fuel pressure regualator 250.00
Stainless steel piping / mandrel bends 750.00
Spearco intercooler 650.00
Stainless steel flanges, fittings, steel braided hoses, etc 400.00
oil scavenge pump 350.00
CSF aluminum race radiator 350.00

I've been working all the overtime i can get at Bell Helicopter for the past 2 months next month when we sign the union contract we will be getting a nice bonus check also worth about 2-3k so by then i should have all of this bought

 

He lives in the state of the Titans best and only custom tuner....Uprev, he'll be in good hands with them. They've done a lot of Turbo and twin turbo set-ups. Also, Uprev Cipher is pretty good for diagnostics. I just can't wait to see the final product, how much work was involved, and total cost. It would be cool to do down the road a bit

 

Whelp, that price tag is a bit too heavy for a guy like me LOL. Good luck man!

 

well about 1,800 of my cost is because i have bigger hp dreams after the motor gets built.. if i didnt have a built IPT tranny i definatly wouldn't buy this big of a turbo, a GT37XX would be suitable along with just a simple walbro 255lph upgrade, and some 650cc injectors.. that would save you quite a bit of cash not having to get some of the biggest injectors they make, along with a 700 dollar fuel pump and FPR and upgrading the stock fuel line from it's chinsy size up to 5/8 or 3/4" steel braided hose which is over 5.00 a foot.. With having this much fuel going to the motor the pickup tube with have to be modded as well, and if it cant be modified i'll have to get me a 400-500 dollar fuel cell..

i dunno i was just like you 6 months ago didnt wanna spend more than 3-4k for a turbo kit but after investigating i found out it just isnt possible to have a kicka$$ kit for less than 5-6k.. even my intercooler will be rated for 700 hp, might impose a little extra lag being a tad big but i dont mind, cause i dont want 250f air being forced into my motor, much whether have some nice temps about 100-120f and i don't like buying stuff twice, hehe

 

Nothing like having a turbo in your hands to motivate you on your build. I can't wait for you to complete your project and line em up. Happy wrenching!

 

dddaaaaaammmmmnnnnn

 

Wow good luck dude! This is awesome would be a dream to do this to my truck one day!

 

Can't wait till it's done. Keep us up to date with the project. This is going to be AWESOME!

 

Later on down the road if i ever have enough money I would love to do this. Then I could give all the guys driving around with Cummins a run for their money. I hate how all they have to do is buy a tuner and then they can downright kick some ***. Nothing beats the look on their face when you do kick their *** tho lol

 

Like many have said before Toommany, best of luck and all your Titan buddies will be here for any help/support we can lend...:teethmast

Wicked sonofa***** this truck will be! Go fast mothafu*kuh!:bangit:

 

nice, cant go wrong with garret turbochargers.

 

What all has to be done to the engine for it to support that kind of boost easily?

 

well just for 5-7 lbs of boost like i plan on running just for starters you will need atleast 650cc injectors, upgraded fuel pump like a walbro 255lph, upgraded PMAF sensor, uprev cipher for datalogging, uprev osiris to get tuned by a pro tuner shop.. or tune your self if you feel confident enough..
that is bout it really.. and of course you will need other items like a wastegate, blow off valve, etc just to support the turbo..

 

off topic but how much did your suspension cost?? labor and the parts from mcgaughys.????

 

well the mcgaughy kit was like 430.00 off of ebay.. make sure you get u-bolts so you wont be screwed over like i was.. make sure the supplier sells them or dont buy it.. the stock ones arent long enough after you drop the truck..

also i have the bilstein struts/shocks all the way around i wouldnt advise getting these though, bell tech has struts/shocks made for lowered titans i would highly reccomend before buying bilsteins stock height struts/shocks

lastly thier is a bump stop bracket that will have to be shaved half way down on the rear and completly removed on the front along with paying someone to plasma cut the bracket off the frame so you don't bottom out ever little pebble you run over.. without cutting this front bracket out of the way the A-arm has less than 1.5" of travel.. you can thank the idiodic nissan engineers for this.. who the hell designs a suspension setup that you cant even do a 2" drop on..
