Arrow FS: KB Racing hotside pipes

My wife and I run a small farm in Michigan, and in addition to that I also work off-farm full time being a network engineer. It has become painfully apparent that I don't really have the time to invest in my hobby like I used to, and so here I am selling off my parts.

KB Racing hotside pipes:
T4 manifold
3" downpipe
Crossover pipe

Masterpower T72 turbo

Oil feed and drain lines

All this stuff is new, never installed. I actually had to open the box with the downpipe and crossover in it to take the pictures. Altogther, I believe this ran me $2400 with shipping.

SOLD!


Thank you for looking!

Man, I'm probably 45min. from you!

What did you get this kit spec'ed for? Did you get this direct from Kyle? What were you going to put it on?? Year, model? Also, will this clear 4x4?
It's quite a bit smaller than I have been looking in to getting for my 6.0... but I wonder how it would run?

To answer your questions in order:

I was going to put it on my 5.3L engine, with the possibility of moving up to a 6.0L. Kyle told me that the T70 worked great on the 5.3, and I went a little bit bigger knowing where I was going.

Yes, direct from Kyle.

1999 Chevy Tahoe that I was in the midst of swapping in a Gen IV 5.3L into, but I just don't have the time between the farm and my full time job.

It was going to clear on the 4x4.

It should run pretty well on a 6.0, should spool pretty quickly. Kyle would be a better guy to ask than myself.

It would work ok on a 6.0 just a little limited on how many rpm you could turn it, but that hot side will fit any standard T4 based turbo. Should be able to make 500-550rwhp. All my kits will for 4x4 as that's what they where built on to begin with.

Appreciate the quick answers.
So it sounds like I'd only be possibly interested in the hot pipes at the moment. Not sure if you were looking to split it up and sell the turbo separately?
Also just curious, did you ever purchase a BOV or waste gate for the setup?

Thanks for chiming in Kyle.


And Tony you're giving me evil thoughts, my wife is gonna kill me, then the turbo will kill my trans, then the wife will kill me harder...

Split it up? I'll shoot you a PM. And no, I never got a BOV or gate.

And yes, thank you Kyle!
