Damn that thing is a beast.. Very nice indeed..

dayum!!! deff. sick!!

Thanks! Can't wait to see how it does at the track with a sticky tire

damn! talk about a sleeper. good job :thumb:

Thats awesome man.! I'd love to drive that !!

I think hellbentS10 built a turbo I-5 a while ago.

That's pretty nice.

Piece of junk...











..jk :lol:

Man that thing skeets nice

runs good!

Time for some 275/40 nitto 555rs

That's really cool man! Great work. Like what alowdime said 275 40 555r, you'll be a happy camper

phump275/40 street tire on my S10 would hold a 75 shot on solid concrete from a stop....

275/40 555r drag radial would hold the 125 shot on concrete from a stop :hump:

Do it.

Colorado, fully bolted, etc., on a 125 shot...the 555r's never worked here. :shrug:

Just nut up and get some Hoosier radials that are just enough to be legal on the streets.

Well, tough.

From reading your posts over the past weeks, most of the things that work fine for most people, dont seem to work for you in the same way.:shrug:

Story of my life. I think I need to exclude my opinions from every thread for that exact reason.

Nice little truck you got there, did you get someone to custom make you that turbo kit or does a company already have a bolt on system? Might be a dumb question but I have never looked into parts for your type of truck so thought id ask.

He pieced it together himself. There's no REAL aftermarket for the Colorado/Canyon...at all. :jest:

total sleeper

That thing is sick a$$ little sleeper

Thanks for the kind words guys. It has a 275/40 on it now but obviously not in a drag radial compound.

There is no kit out there for these or reaI aftermarket like cc05 said. The only real hard part to make was the manifold and even that wasn't bad.

this all started as a little m90 i got off craigslist for 50 bucks and duct taped to it.

Wow. How did it run with the m90?

it didnt. it locked up on me not long after i got it running so i figured what the hell lets have some fun. from the time i pulled it in the garage to the time i started tuning was like 7 months. so not to bad i suppose considering i did close to two builds

nice work bro

love to see some I-6 turbo jobs around, that colorado runs really good.

I wish I could shoe horn an i6 in it.

If a fellow can stuff a Duramax into an S10, I don't think an I6 would be an issue in a Rado.

Im sure I could just have to relocate the rad or get a slimmer efan. But a v8 is so cheap

Dang right. Much cheaper option than trying to fit a random powerplant into these trucks. Btw, wtf do you have going on in that engine bay pic? A Harrop?

No Haha that's an eaton m90. That was pre turbo

I was reading about the M90, then I knew all about then turbo, but I was thinking you took of the turbo and retro-mounted a Harrop or some nonsense like that, since I didn't figure you'd go back to a M90. :lol: Makes sense now.

No I think I would have had to spin that turd to the moon to make any power with it.

The turbo that's on it now is actually coming off and a ball bearing 66 is making is way in. This one is out of steam.

Slow.

It would probably hang with your 2.2 s10 ricky!

dang!! impressive!!! this thing is quick! 0-60 in like.. 60sec!

hahah

99% of the people on 355Nation are slow in more ways than one. If I ever need a good laugh, I go on there and read up for the week. I refuse to join just because of mis-informed, b.s. opinions. Aren't you WTRacing or something like that? That rcsb looked awesome.

Cool sorry bro lol


Yeah that's me

Woah! This is badass! :burnout:
I love anything that whistles :)

Point proven :eyes:

ok that is just plain sick, i've always wanted to turbo a gm i5, there is so much room to play with on the exhaust side! Love the WTA setup too, good work man!
