How are you liking the s369sxe? I am debating what i want for mine. I can get the s369 for cheap, but am worried that the turbine side is too small. Mine is a 5.3 and I am planning on 500-520 hp.

 

It should definitely be fine for those goals. I believe you can get different housing sizes. Kyle at KB racing would know right off what you'd need. We aren't really even pushing this 4.8, so your 5.3 would likely do a bit better.

 

Readily available, a 1.0ar housing is as big as they make. I've heard rumor that some other companies were making some 1.15ar housings and 1 ever looser, but haven't heard a released date.

I'd like to stay with an s369sxe simply because you get an awesome turbo for the money.

 

Lookin good! I just bought the same turbo and am putting together a new setup. I think the turbo definitely has more in it. Too bad you don't have a 4l80 so you could turn it up a notch or two.

 

Sweet! Yes, the transmission is a bummer for now. One day, one day......

 

Have you had a chance to take it out on the road? you're running pump gas right? also what are the specs on your cam? I'm planning on running the small sdpc cam (214/218-110) that I have in it.. I"m thinking it will work out ok.

 

Not yet, I had some slight issues with my coil springs, so going to get that taken care of first, then out on the road. Cam is 212/218 .552/.552 113 lsa

 

Lowering springs?

 

Yep, it did sit too low in the front with the intercooler on. I put a stock spring back in and now it's a bit too high. Going back to my old springs with a 3/4-1" polyurethane spacer on top. Should be just about right I hope

 

Sounds awesome!!!
