Started a week and a half ago on the build once I had most parts standing by. This is an 04 with a 3.5L I5, Garrett GT3582R turbo, Precision turbo 39mm wastegate, Greddy Type RS BOV, 60lb injectors, full 3in exhaust w/a Dynomax VT muffler and a magnaflo cat, looking for a 350 or better at the wheels and maybe 2 months down the road I have forged rods and pistons just have to get head and cams reworked but here is the setup now.

 

Hm, this should be good. Those little I5s are pretty potent in stock form.

 

Looks good so far, i am waiting to see what you hit. Good Luck

 

Very cool project. Are you needing to be emissions compliant? Hence the cat, as I can't see your location on my phone

 

Cool build. That GT3582r will easily support 350+ RWHP and should spool up pretty fast with a 3.5l. What size A/R did you run?

Should be a screamer in such a light truck. Post up some results once you get it dailed in.

Shoulda LSx swapped it

 

The turbo is .70 A/R and 82, I'm registered in MN so a cat is required but now one really cares but this cat is not really restrictive I couldn't even mail it to CA I had to send it to a friends house in NV, and there is always that option of V8 but I actually like this engine and a v8 wont make the MPGs this will, not to mention v8 swaps are a pain it *** I did one on an s10 some years ago, and they take alot longer more expensive.

 

Looks good! Interested to see how it does.

 

Yeea I just love any Ls swapped vehicle wherefore of be a truck or a volkswagen. It is nice to see someone working with that motor though it's a nice change up since most people do the same mods to very similar cars or trucks

 

Thanks guys I should be home on Fri to start tuning and do a first start. I'll be sure to keep all informed.
