Yeah, me and my brother was talking about how a 72 monte carlo would be the best car to turbo. Because of all that room in front of the engine. Well even though there is a lot of info on the internet these days, it's still hard to find specific information on what I want to do. But yeah, I'm 39 and when I first got into cars, late 90s 2000ish. There was nothing, internet existed but nobody I knew had a computer and smartphones were I don't even know I didn't have a cell back then. Lol. Anyway thanks for watching.

@@davidcraft4909 Absolutely. The 72 made it super easy with all the available space. I've subscribed and will be looking forward to seeing this project evolve.

@@jcshobbiesandrecreation5873 well my next project is to get a wideband and hook it up to a carbureted engine. I've never done that before, so I am going to hook it up to a stock 350 to get familiar with how it works. Then later I"m going to need it for my turbo engine.

Well, the title says 4000 lumens, so mine were 4000.

Thanks for watching.

To be honest I have no idea. I'm having trouble with trying to make them work on a square body truck. I also know that a 3rd gen doesn't really have a lot of space in the engine bay, and I think they all from the factory had a y pipe that made you have to run a single exhaust to the back. So you wouldn't have very many options. I'm also brand new to trying to turbocharge something so I don't really know. but I can tell you this much. these headers can potentially interfere with you brake booster, AC compressor. I have a video where I try to show how it all lines up in a truck. maybe that could answer some questions for you. Sorry, but thats the best I can do to answer your question.

Yeah, the parts list never ends. I'm going to do my best to get it together, though.

Yeah, but it wasn't me I bought my samurai with both axles filled with muddy putty like oil in them, lol.

@@davidcraft4909 That's part of what happened to a lot of them. Filled everything with mud and water, which killed the axles, t-case, and transmission. That and general neglect and outright abuse. I try and baby mine as much as I can.

I know what you mean. I have a vid where I replace everything in the front axle and install chromoly axles, but now I don't want to go mudding as much lol. I don't want to destroy all that money I put into it

Thanks

That's how it goes. You have to dig deep to find the motivation to get past it all. Otherwise, your project will never see the road. I'm working on that every day

Thats not a bad idea, too clock the center to help my problem. Thats actually a really good idea if i can do that. Well the turbo looks high enough to go into the oil pan, and I did not want to do that for the obvious reasons. I want to install my turbo kit on an engine that is already in the vehicle. so to go into the pan is a problem, also i dont want to weld on some oil soaked crap or introduce shavings into the oil pan. I will figure it out though, worst case scenario, i have to use a scavenge pump and then I will just run the oil into the valve cover. another idea is to stop being lazy and just pull the engine to make these mods.

How do you know when the oil hole is big enough? Surely, there is someone out there who already knows how much to drill it. But yeah, I didn't know that, and I will try to find out more info on it.

@@davidcraft4909 I'm feeding a GT-42 with a -2 or .125 I.D. line, no restrictor, and it works well. I started with a 1/4 inch copper line at first and it smoked like a freight train, if that helps any.

@@TURBOMAGNUM it helps a little bit, but what did you use that worked, lol

Yeah, I keep running to problems. They are all minor issues, but it takes me a lot of time to figure out what to do.

@davidcraft4909 I've been slapping these setups together for a little bit now and have a decent idea of what works as far as all the little ebay parts go. Have a little twin turbo 64 impala build going now

@@kdsboosted4954 yeah will it is my first one and I have no body to help me except what I learn on the interwebs. I bet the next turbo I do will go way smoother and probably cheaper.

@davidcraft4909 yeah for sure. Hit me up for any questions

I did not know that, and I said that in the video that I could probably use a 90 and make it work, lol. Thank you, man you really are being very helpful in my turbo adventure not to mention your S10 when you had a 305 in it, kind of inspired me to go forward with my build.

@@davidcraft4909 Thanks man. I'm gonna try and get that video made showing the stuff I used tommorrow or the next day.

@sbcperformance413 yes do it.

How big did you drill out your restrictor when you ran the gt45 on the 305?

@@davidcraft4909 I didn't have to drill mine, I bought a plate that was drilled and tapped to accept 1/8 NPT fittings. I would think that if you drilled it to 1/8 inch or 3/16 inch it would work fine.

To be honest, I don't like the idea of having a turbo and charge pipe to the intake full of pressurized fuel mixture. But I do understand how that can simplify a few things.

305 tpis run very good stock. I have a friend that's really into them, and he says it's because that intake system was actually designed for a 305. Anyway, he had 305s 350s and 400 ci tpi engines. They all run good. I bet a 305 tpi with a twin or single turbo would run pretty strong. Those are underrated engines.

@davidcraft4909 I have a tpi I've been running on a 355 with turbo I'm now swapping to a full roller 406 with twin compound setup

@kdsboosted4954 dude a 400 sbc tpi can be a beast without the turbos lol. Even a 350 tpi can run really strong. My friends setup was a 350 with edelbrock heads and I don't know what cam but yeah, even na it ran strong.

Yeah, it's definitely not easy. But with some practice it can be done. I'm actually better at it now. Maybe I should do a new video on it. Either way thanks for watching.

What did you ls swap?

@davidcraft4909 88 chev obs truck shortcomings Definitely the cheapest way I've seen

Well, on that and a turbo kit. The more you know about it, the less money you will waste, lol. Especially if you do what I did and bought stuff I can't even use. Originally, I was going to try to modify and or flip some stock cast iron manifolds, but that plan got canceled, lol.

Yeah, I know you can build a blowthrough carb cheaper than $850. I have an 800 holley double pumper that I'm probably going to attempt to use it.

I'm going to start out with a 5lb of boost and set the rev limiter to 5500. How much power do you think a stock 305 block can take. Assuming the tuning is good?

@davidcraft4909 350hp 5500 rpm . Remember if you change the heads , don't use 1.94 valve heads . They will hit the bore .

Well, I have a set of heads with 2.06 intakes. And I was going to bolt them on, then flip the engine and see what all that is about. There's a video where a guy cuts reliefs in the block to use 2.02 valves. I know a 305 bore is too small for big valves but I want to see exactly why, and how it all lines up.

​@@locomato11They take more than 350hp, trust me. I've seen a few over 500hp NA with production blocks. 76 305 block is best. I built a NHRA legal K/SA 83 L-69, it ran 11.60s in the 1/4. Made around 400hp and turned 7000+rpm. 2-bolt 83 305 block. That was 25+yrs ago.

@davidcraft4909 that little bore won't handle a 2.06 a 2.02 or a1.94 valve Use a 1.88 Chrysler intake or get a 1.94 cut down to 1.90

I'm always getting better or atleast faster. I don't have a side business, but I do weld stuff for friends all the time. Also I do my own projects on my cars.

I'm more of the build, not buy type of guy. I find it fascinating to modify any type of car or engine. Even if I had enough money to afford a Bugatti I would still be messing with older junk cars. Except I would be dropping in aftermarket blocks with 400ci instead of junk 305s, lol.

@heathhill7802 yeah, I'm aware the exhaust is going to want to move when it gets hot. I just don't know which way it's going to move. I might even be able to use rubber mounts on where the bracket bolts up. Also, I do have a bellow for the otherside. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Well, part of the project was to learn how to tig weld stainless. As soon as I bolted those headers up, I realized how I did not choose the easiest or best way to put a turbo on this engine, but it's too late I have to just continue. Thanks for watching.

@@davidcraft4909 I think you did. Its not like you can just buy the tubing all setup for your application.

Well, they do make universal kits, but I wanted to separate both sides, because its a twin scroll and have exhaust that runs together vs just going into an open manifold. The project kinda got out of control, but that's the logic or illogical behind it all, lol. But yeah, it's time to stop thinking about it and just see what it does.

@davidcraft4909 You could have purchased mandrel bends from numerous exhaust companies to save time and money.

@rolltide9547 yes, I understand that, but I didn't know what bends I needed, and I have never built a turbo anything before. I also could have bought the universal sbc kit from ebay, or just did twins right on the end of the headers. I'm new to this and I'm learning, lol.

@jackedup3191 thanks for watching. My next step is to get the oil lines set up. I ordered them already, from ebay. Hopefully they fit, lol.

@paramax55 Yeah, I know what you mean about a 305 . The power it has stock is so low that it would need 14lbs of boost just to make 400hp. I'm sure with better heads and more compression you could make a lot more. But yeah I'm kind of using a 305 as a sacrificial engine to learn with. Who knows, maybe it might make enough power to be fun.

Thanks for the advice.

I don't know. The headers kind of point up and forward. It seemed like a good idea when I was looking for headers, at the time.

Well, I was going to double check that exhaust side of the turbo before buying anything. Also, I have an 800cfm holley double pumper that I used to run on a 454. I think I will try to use it, I just have my doubts on whether or not I can get it to work. Since I have no experience with turbos or trying to make a blow through carb. Also, it might be too big for a 305, maybe I will just set the idle to 1500 rpms and go with it lol

I don't think so, I think I heard or read on the internet. That the vortec 305 heads are actually swirl ports. These 081s have nothing special about the shape of the ports that I can tell. Compared to the older heads, but I'm not an expert.

I wish I could, there's a lot of metal working stuff I could learn from him.

Yeah, well, I'm getting into something totally new to me. Hopefully, I don't damage too much stuff before I figure out how to get the fuel system right for a turbocharged engine.

Well my plan is to run two waste gates plumbed in right there where the tubes make a 90 degree bend right out of the headers. There might be better or easier ways to do it but that was the plan from the start.

@@davidcraft4909 I got a soft spot for the 305. I got a TPI IROC Camaro collecting weeds out behind the barn that I'd like to do that on, it's just so hard to convince myself to do it when an LS can be thrown together for almost nothing these days. I'm excited to see how your project turns out! I have shelves of old random turbo stuff, if you're ever in MI send a message, I'd be glad to donate some!

Well, tpi 305s run really good, and the 5.7 version is even better. I wouldn't ls swap that if it was mine. I understand that the later model engines have more power potential, but a tpi gives it its own personality.

Ok, I will look that pump and regulator up later. For, now I have to finish welding the hotside. Thanks for the help.

@@davidcraft4909 No problem. I need to make a video soon showing what parts I used. I've been meaning to make a video about that for a while.

@@sbcperformance413 I think that would be a good idea.

Agreed LOL fuel setups will Fuq that hard dollar pinching work you did especially on stock internals and 305 no less hope all goes well but definitely get some onsite on other peoples success before just buying a high dollar shit setup

Yeah, I will.

It's called a c clamp valve compressor. Mine says MAC on it, and it's very old. The ones they make now might look different.

Yeah, you can't take things that serious when working on junk, lol. There's always problems and mistakes.

Thanks for watching

Muffler shops use mig everyday so yeah. I would recommend that or tig. Welding perfect beads with tig might be a difficult thing to master, but it's very easy to make a solid weld on exhaust tubing that might not be beautiful. But yeah trying to stick weld 16ga or thinner is not easy, but possible.

The manual doesn't mention an oil filter. As far as I know it doesn't have one.

Thanks

@@davidcraft4909hold down button for 5 seconds to clear code

Yeah, I eventually found the part in the manual that says it's a reminder every 50 hours to change the oil. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching...

Why? What's wrong with it?

@@davidcraft4909 it’s buried and hard to get to, checking the oil should be the easiest thing to do on a small engine.

Lol, I agree. I wasn't sure if you meant something like that, or if you were saying I didn't check oil on level ground. But yeah to check and fill is in an awkward place. Thanks for watching

I don't remember if the gaskets came with any gasket maker or not. I always have a tube of gasket maker in my tool box. I'm sorry I could not answer your question.

Where did you get that information from? I think every perimeter bolt sbc heads have that. I'm assuming they are just where the valve cover bolts go. I have never heard of them being there to serve a purpose. I will most likely remove them...

thanks for watching.

I honestly don't remember, I may of said it in the video. The primer was epoxy primer, and you can see it didn't crinkle it up, it just sort of liquefied it. The base cost and clear was probably acrylic urethane paint. I will try to read the cans if I still have them.

You're welcome, and thank you for watching.

I find 1/16th rods do be almost useless, but also I'm not that good of a welder. And my biggest complaint is they seem to just burn off so fast that I can't do anything with them, lol.

Thanks for this info ! I just tried stick welding for first time and had this exact problem. First problem was that I was running way too hot - 85 amps! After many stuck attempts, I finally could lay down but realized how quickly I had to move in order to avoid a complete blow out. Now I know to try at 25 and move up from there. I almost gave up. Thanks !

It probably depends on what type of spray paint. I'm not sure what types.

yes, and I have a diablo steel demon blade the blade they come with makes really ugly cuts on stainless. The steel demon blade has more teeth and does an ok job, but it's not perfect. They are like 95 dollar blades.

@@davidcraft4909 That’s what I’m looking 👀 for something like that , the funny thing is ! that’s how I came across your channel Sweet I’m new to welding just a rookie Just want something that’s works and by the looks of it 😀 It works good 👍

@@ElJuicePerformance If you do get one, only cut stainless with it, don't waste the expensive blade on regular steel. I have cut about 50 to 100 cuts on ss tubing and I already notice that the blade doesn't cut as smooth as it was when it was brand new.

@@davidcraft4909 I just subscribed I’ll keep you posted!! I’ll start saving up for one of the evolution s
