Got any pick the INTRO might fit.

 

OH NO!... My wife would KILL me if I turbo'ed her I6 Trailblazer . GM, or someone contracted by them (?) did a twin I6 that hit one of the mags years ago. Lowered and powerful... maybe that was a market excercise.

I Think the I-5 would be a hit, There are probably alot more of the colorado's running around with light mods that want a turbo. Especially with the younger crowd, Its more likely that Daddy will buy his kid a colorado over a TBSS

 

The I5 would most likely be a good seller. I know that there is not alot out there for the lightning guys as far as bolt on turbo kits and they are more than willing to part with their money for stuff like that if it is a good product that works well. ( and after personally seeing your work, and owning it im sure it will be ) I know several guys around here that have spent alot of money upgrading to KB and whipples because there are not any good turbo kits for them. The thing you would have to work out on it would be most of them would like to keep their lower blower manifold with the air to water intercooler, so a plate and elbow would have to be fabbed up to get that to work.

 

Also as soon as I get the LS motor into my 90 RCSB GMC I would be interested in loaning it to you for a twin setup. Let me know you arent that far away.

 

I have tons of pics, I am at work right now and no way of getting to them.... I could pehapse find a link somewere

 

Thanks for the kind words. A freind of mine told me today to build an F150 kit. LOL
Removing the blower but keeping the other stuff would be pretty easy. Down fall is I do not know a thing about FORDs lol... If you know anyone that wants to talk, could you drop them our web or number?

Why not turbo the TBI stuff?

 

Picks would be great thanks.
Going to WACO tommorrow on a business trip, and I hopefully will get to look at some different trucks. TBSS, Colorado, etc.

Guys I am getting really itchy to start on something. I do not like idleing the need to stay busy is freaking strong. To much idle time and the brain starts thinking of too many options, possiblities, etc. Even loosing sleep over the next build. 4:30am wake ups thinking of this, is getting old.LOL

So I will be choosing soon.

later

 

Like I said earlier, it's really had to add the needed fuel, unless you add injectors and a separate fuel controller (more$$$ and harder to tune). With the tbi, you have to do all the fueling with only 2 injectors.

It's also kinda of a demographics thing. Most TBI guys have TBI trucks cuz they can't afford newer trucks, not that I have any thing against them for this, but they also usually don't have $4-5K to put a turbo on there trucks
