Build your own Turbo LS hot side 

Clean, clean work. Clear-headed approach.

Great concise explanations of whats happening. The edditing is awsome!

Thanks for posting these videos. You’re giving me confidence to try some fabrication. Awesome work!

This is such a great project, cheers.

Def why most axle or fender dump em. Not as refined, but gets job done. Good work dude

Love your videos and the truck. Thanks a lot!

A better alternative to the flex joints in a turbo application are exhaust bellows. They cost more but they're a lot more robust while still allowing expansion and a little flex.

Heck of a job brother, sweet

Good job on the video! Your videos are concise and clear and that means a lot! You seem like a guy who likes to know fairly worthless facts like myself, so I figured I'd drop one here. Despite common accepted truth, LS manifolds are cast steel which is why they weld so wonderfully, even if you use the wrong filler, wrong heat range, use crappy mig wire, don't preheat or backpurge tig welds BUT, apparently that information is wrong. A guy on LS1tech or YB, maybe turbo forums I can't remember, had a metallurgy test done on them and they are in fact iron and while the explanation wasn't confirmed on why they weld so great, but I think the consensus was that the nickel content is what made them so favorable for amateur welders like myself..

Good looking out in a bunch of ways GM!

now this is what i want to see

This guy is amazing

Appreciate the detailed explanation of your pie cuts on the downpipe.

You skipped a big step...how you mounted the LS to the crown vic front end. What trans are you pairing the engine with? Nice build!

I like this pu and what you are doing to it.

What was your welder settings used to weld the exhaust up with silicone bronze?

That's awesome. I want to start on my project too. My 08 silverado. Where did u get your turbo? I'm wanting about 10psi. Just my daily driver.

Rob, you an amateur who doesn’t know what he’s doing; who are you trying to fool? LOL. Awesome job man.

Where did you place your wastegate?

How much higher does the turbo sit above the throttle body? Gt45 turbo, correct?

Where are you going to put your wastegate?

So why is the band clamp needed On the factory exhaust manifold? I already know i'm not going to do it. But I don't know everything, i'm just wondering if There's a reason I don't know about that would make me do all that.

Genuine question, not a critic. I realize this is a bigger turbo, but even with TT's you don't see any manufacturers running 4 inch exhausts....couldn't you split that into duals and make it look normal?

WHAT SIZE IS THE V BAND ON THE CAST LOG 2.5" ?

Why do you need the flex joint when both manifolds move together with the engine? Just wondering.

? Did u put you gas tank at the back of the truck . If u did what size gas lines did u use

what transmission? and are you using a stock stand alone harness?

Good video but kinda bummed on the way overdone ls swap. I’m not an FE guy but it would have been sick to boost the 390 even if it made a bit less then the much never design ls

Everyone has LS project

Where did you buy your intercooler please

Going to need a heat shield for your starter..

if it doesn't work good just chev it i bet this is rubbing people wrong by the way i have the stands to put a 429 or 460 in a ford pu from 67/72 u can get the steering wheel column out of a 72 lincoln and it bolt right in same with the engine stands for a 429 that is what i would have put in it but i put a 390 in my high boy but still building up a 428 cj for it . plus u can get good crate engines out of motor homes they have some good engines in them with low miles just got a ho 454 with the 4 inch stroke 450 hp at 485 torque with a heavy duty 400 turbo the engine has steel crank heavy rods and pushrods high flow heads 10.5 to 1 compression the trans has the bigger pump heavy clutches stage one shift kit with only 6000 miles on them got the motor home for free sold it for 2000 with out engine and trans so far i got 3 ho 454 , 2 360 , 1 390 , 1 428 cj , 2 460 , 427 chevy out of an old one but the books claim they also put a LS 6 454 in them too just very rare to find but all motor homes have crate engines in them and most people want passing power so they go with the more powerful engines for them i would say the worst i got was the 360 dog engine both still sit the chevy ho 454 is the most popular engine all those engine run perfect most have under 50,000 miles on them and the best part they are free saves a lot of money on a build just to stroke a 454 will cost 4000 bucks the new crate ho 454 is about 8000 to buy plus u get everything to put it in with even twin electric pusher fans and they fit perfect in my 68 chevy pulled a serpintine belt off a 94 pu with a 454 blown in it paid 50 bucks for everything for it even the water pump made it all look factory dun

Please give us an update.

You should use some safety glasses

the LS engine is from Chevrolet ??

I guess I'm third 😌

I'm first!
