I am new to forced induction and am looking for a turbo kit for my 4.8. I was looking at this kit.



Whats your opinions on this kit?

 

Wrong set up for an LS that looks to be the old SBC.
We offer many different kits depending on your power goals.
Let me know if I can help.

 

You'll love one the kits from Trick Performance. My truck is making some pretty sick power with one, and Rick will be great at guiding you toward the right kit for you.

 

Cool... I want to to get up to at least 450-500hp out of my 4.8l tahoe. All I have right now is an intake, exhaust and a black bear autocal. It's my daily driver/family car so I want something reliable. Roughly how long would it take to install? I think I'm alright when it comes to installing and fabricating things if needed.

 

I got the entire stage 3 trick turbo kit installed in a Saturday and Sunday. Then got exhaust and tuning done on the Monday morning. Basically it would take you a weekend I guess.

I called up fuel injector connection and told them my engine and power level and they sold me plug and play injectors. Your gonna need at least 60lb injectors.

And your gonna need some exhaust wrap. Various vacuum hosing. Tee fittings.

A boost and AFR gauge is good to have.


Just spend a few weeks reading on these forums and feel free to ask a lot of questions.

If you can afford it. Go with a trick stage 3 kit at least.

 

It took me a weekend to install the kit. No special tools required. I could do it again in 6-8 hours.

 

How do you like your stage 3 turbo? I am planning on upgrading to 60# injectors and fuel pump. I am also looking on picking up isky triple 12 cams and circle d 2600 stall converter. How much boost and hp will I be able to add after these mods?

 

Dang, a weekend install? And here I am hoping to have mine done in 4 months. Lol. Then again, the only piece I bought prefabbed is the trick manifold.

 

Will running twin Garrett gt35r turbos with 60# injectors, walbro 400 fuel pump, isky triple 12's on my 4.8 be able to handle that much power? If so, how much psi be safe to run it at and roughly how much HP would I gain out of it?

 

anyone?
