hey yall looking to turbo the blazer over the summer-

Thinking-
T4 T-70 turbo
OBX intercool
Walbro intank fuel pump + inline fuel pump
Vortech FMU
Tial 40mmWG and BOV

Dunno which is more effective or if either one has any advantages over the other cross over going in the front in behind the motor-

Cross over in the front would leave more room for the downpipe and would be more effective insted of runing the exhaust gases from both banks into one manifold.

skip the fmu and just get a tuning tool like efilive or hp tuners.

i dont think you will need 2 fuel pumps. either an inline with the stock intank or a new intank.

across the front or back is all the same but it would be better if you can keep both header tubes seperate untill you get right up to the turbo. here is a pic of a rear cross over but they dont join till the turbo. this is from cmotorsports.



if you could get them to sell you a set of hot parts like those in the pic you would save yourself a ton of work.

i drive a 4.3L i dont think they make hot parts for that- ontop of that unless i go with a MPFI system replacment the HP tuners wouldnt be much of a help considering i got 19lbs injectors- Im thinking about just saving and then doing a vortec 350 swap or a 5.3L or 4.8L swap. To bad those swaps cost alot of $$$$$

lol thats okay- do you know how much an average 5.3L is? Also when you turbo an Lsx motor is it wise to get a built tranny?

wow apparently paint became the standard program for turbo design in this ****** forum, how about you read some books on fluid flow and turbocharger design before the pencil comes out!

Damn, thats the second flame post in 5 minutes I have read by your negative ***. Why dont to take your engineering mindset elsewhere? Is that TB spacer on your truck being fed by a turbo?! I think you need to keep your rude comments to yourself as no one on here needs or wants to hear them...
