- Wanted to share my super cheap budget turbo full-size truck build. My goal is to build a legit low budget clean as possible but cheap as possible. If you have any questions feel free to comment. I’m going to post links below for some of the parts I used. The Main part of my kit that allowed all this to happen is the Hotside that I got from XS-POWER. You cannot beat it for the price and it fits multiple vehicles with LS Swaps. Below is a list of links to the parts that went into this. Big thanks to XS POWER I can’t thank them enough, great service, great products!

There's plenty of "more money than brains" builds out there but someone doing it on their own will always be more impressive
Exactly real hotrodders build their own hotrod anything else is a wannabe
Looks good. Personally i would had fabbed an extra piece to put the turbo were the coolant reservoir is at right now. That way you can retain the AC and keep the hot turbo away from the coils and wiring.
I'm currently putting together a budget turbo kit for my truck also just bought a bunch of stuff on Black Friday sales saved a lot of money.
Awesome to hear
@@bo_flint93 Will this work Ford 4.6. Would you recommend a supercharger or Turbo?
Turbo is cheaper
Lol no
Nice build bro, I really like the transparency throughout the video.
That shit looks seriously put together well no cut corners.... I couldn't of installed all that as good as u did bravo
Damn man Hella clean driveway build! Guys like this are what make the gearhead society so awesome and fun to be a part of
I really respect his ingenuity. This kind resourcefulness and willpower is inspiring. Makes me want to be better at this hobby of motorsports.
Thank you for that. Truck is almost done I will have some more videos up soon
Like the video. I have a 4.8 ls in my 86 chevy caprice. Been wanted to turbo for the past year but couldn't find the right kit for my budget. Found your video today, now I'm ordering part. Bro thank you for this video. Real glad I find it
I’m currently putting together the same truck I’ve been messing with it on and off for about a year now …This video was definitely motivation for me to get it done
Love hearing that
Have you driven it yet?
Nice, seeing this makes me want to turbo my suburban. Not really to race or anything, just to have fun cruising and getting under boost & hearing the BOV.. nice build man
I just bought one of these trucks last week for $1,300, thanks to this video i will be doing this soon!
You have encouraged me to try. I want this type of set up so bad. Yeah sure some guru somewhere can probably do some type of 1100HP that’s off the chain but I like your content. Thanks for sharing.
Wow is all I can say.. wow. I have a 87 Monte SS with a 4.8 and been wanting to boost it for a while. Thank you bro I’ll definitely be doing it this way. Mines a budget build too!
The Hotside I used will fit your Monte Carlo
Love the build buddy
I can’t wait to see it running in the street keep the videos coming bro
Thanks man I will for sure keep them coming, so ready to get this thing out for some street pulls
Nice job, James. People didn't believe I boosted my 1.8 Chevy Cruze for $1300. At the time it was a similar setup, but made a log style turbo manifold. Most expensive part was HPTuners.
HpTuners do like ripping people off. Those stupid credits is where they get you.
Nice work bro! Looks fun as hell
Super sweet man, can't wait to see it all polished up. I supercharged my daily driver Tahoe, but now I'm really looking to get a single cab short box cat eye to make some big power and hurt some feelings 👍
Nothing like a big heavy sleeper
Awesome build man. Super ingenuitive
Nice job brother, thanks for sharing!!! Definitely interested in doing the same just didnt know much about turbo stuff.
love the build man. hoping to boost my 03 silverado soon
Great job man looking forward to more videos 👍
Cool truck man good luck with it 👍
Very nice. Hard to believe it was done for $1500. That is real motivation to do the same on my Tahoe. Look forward to seeing the progress
A Tahoe 🤢
@user-fo5yi7so2g what's wrong with a Tahoe? I'm trying do it with my 02 suburban 2500
Just boosted mine for under 2k and I love it 😈🏁💯
Beautiful install
Great job, thanks for the video
Good job on your truck, love the wheels and the stance totally awesome sir.
Thanks man I appreciate it now I just have to fix the rust lol
Really appreciate this video! I have one just like it! Trying to build it up. Thank you
No problem hope it helps you with your build. I will post update video later keep an eye out for it
Ext cab all day baby! Full size all the way. I’ve never had a single cab 😌
Absolutely gorgeous!
Good job truck looks awesome
Good for you dude truck is sick🤟🏿
Love the build. I admire when a guy works with what he's got, no fancy shop or super expensive tools. Just plain old will power and a driveway...now you got me wanting to boost my Yukon
Love to hear it bro! It’s amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it. One day I will have me a shop to work out of but until then I’ll m gonna do what I gotta do to enjoy my toys
@@bo_flint93 still running strong?
Yeah man!! I actually sold it and I am building a turbo 6.0 s10
@@bo_flint93send me some tips bro , I have a 2012 6.0 2500
Just remember if it’s a 6.0 go big turbo
keep updated it has lots of potential
clean setup man, wouldve put the boost controller on the a pillar or on the airbag control panel myself but whatever works works lol, gave me some ideas for the lq9
That's a sweet setup for what you have in it 🤘. I had a CLEAN 02 Silverado the same color and had plans to do the same. It was a good running 4.8 and I miss it daily. It would run all over both of my buddies 5.3 trucks and it made him so mad lol. We don't know what it was about it. It just ran hard with the same bolt ONS. Anyway, that gives me a push to get another one now 💪
4.8 has a shorter stroke they will get up faster but 5.3 will get it on top end BUT usually once u get someone on the jump and they don't have alot more power than you then usually you got them
Nice setup!
Love the content, just an amazing build!!!!
I’ve got some more videos to roll out here soon, got a lot of parts and a lot of new updates coming soon
Cool build for budget build for sure
Good job bro!!
like it. I'd like to pretty much do the same set it ony 03. I'm o a super tight budget also! love the truck I bet it's going to be a runner
Good looking truck! Right on!
Thanks boss I appreciate it
Great content , super informative
This is great! I love it! I'm planning a budget build as well and this helped me a lot.
Awesome glad to hear
@@bo_flint93 all of that stuff in the description is gone can you try to find me all the parts i need for a 5.4 liter vortec itd be much appreciated because im kinda lost on what to buy
@@bo_flint93 how many miles she had when you turboed?
160000
Great video.
Nicely done Sir
Good job. Looks good. I just bought a 99 s10 extreme and a 2003 yukon donor. I don't want to do the work though. I'm old
wanna see this thing boogie always wanted a lowered turbo truck.
Sick build bro thank you for sharing

Text me 6146480970

Thank god I found this can save my self lot money
Your channel is slept on , love to see the build fam , watching from Nevada
Thanks man I appreciate it, more to come soon
Big support from the CRE8TIVEGARAGE team, we are also car enthusiasts so it’s great to see your vids
90th sub here 👍🏽
Thanks again, I’m actually watching your vids now, subscribed
Hope you enjoy the vibes 🚀🚀
Hell yeahh buddy, love to see it. Cant spell functional without having a little “fun”
got a similar thing going on with a 1994 4.6 V8 thunder bird, not one but two of those t4t3 m12 50/63's... fit under the rear seat. half way done "piped up running but missing the second blower"... but for now it's getting near 40 below, no one works in that weather unless in a heated truck plowing snow. 😋🍗 so cold the 10amp 14lpm oil scavenge pump is nearly sized, needs a pulse driver to prevent the coils from burning out.
I will check it out on ur channel
Very nice man
Nice build man
Thanks man
FIRE IT UP 🔥
So sick brother
I got a 2002 suburban im building i already done the transmission and been tuning its crazy how quick this heavy truck is soon im gonna do few more budget upgrades i redone my exhaust to and i havent heard another suburban sound like mine
U got any videos of it running
I'm on the same path just got the truck and a copple little mods eBay turbo is next
sweet, love it
I’m about to do this to my v6 blazer with a cheap kit from Amazon to see how good it is
I have a c5 corvette , I’m thinking of putting a turbo on mines I was going to go with A&A kit but I want to see how my car does first with something cheap .
Nice truck thumbs up
Hell yah brother!! Right there with you blue collar tell I'm in the ground.
Yessir
Only thing I would change is the waste gate but this is how I wanna do it. Waste gate needs to be nice cause it keeps your build together.
Merry christmas
Aye man I’m trying to do twin turbocharged my Tahoe I need your whole budget setup 🙌🏾
Damn good job!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
I’m in cbus homie I got this same truck thinking about the same thing. I know I’m late to the show but love the video
Awesome man
Brian is a tuning guru!
Dude I no shit went to go pick up a tailgate in your neighborhood yesterday and just realized I seen that beaut out in your driveway 😂💪🏽
That’s awesome man lol
Look up j&l oil separator. Badass unit man
Fellow Ohioan here! I’m thinking about going the turbo route with my 1969 el Camino with an lm7 and I think you sold me!
That’s awesome can’t wait to hear about it, are u close to Columbus?
@@bo_flint93 I’m actually about an hour and half out from our capital! I’m near the akron area, ive gotta get it running N/A but cool ass video dude!
Man I have a 2020 2ss camaro but I don't want to void my warranty and I got a 2000 silverado for a daily ... I have are head stud 2 different cams 243 heads port polished and a full build kit but it was ment for my 6.0 ls but I got rid of it . Now I'm thinking of putting it into my daily then doing a turbo kit but I want ac and heater
Well played
Good job fella, welcome to the poor folks budget build club! Lol
Good job man. Those tires tho 😂
Lol
Not bad. More than one to skin a cat with the ls truck turbo builds.
Four years ago, I went with the basic On3 kit with the 7875 upgrade $2,100 shipped, no tax. No regrets with the On3; buyers just have to factor in wideband, fueling, fans, tuning, etc.
Just swap in a good junkyard 4l80e, before going into serious boost.
I wish i would have bought the on3 kit for my 6.0 LQ4 swapped RCSB about 5 years ago when i originally decided i wanted to go turbo. Would have saved me some time and my sanity lol
I think it was around same price after i had a few options picked
@@bo_flint93 p.s. keep the fuel tank at least 1/2 full, when doing hard pulls under boost. You don't want a 17:1afr blowing holes in the engine.
Lol. I hope the fuel pump does pretty good, i modded the bucket so hopefully it will hold fuel better on hard pulls
This is beautiful. Wanna do something like this to my Dad's 6.0 LS2 silverado SS, get it cranking out mad power for relatively low cost.
That truck would be perfect, aleeady has the good tranny in it
Silverado SS should have an LQ9. Basically the same thing, but LQ9 and LS2 are both higher compression, an LQ4 would be more fitting to turbo
The only difference is the pistons and rods, the talk between LQ4 and LQ9 which is better is overrated, it’s all in what u wanna build and how much money you got to spend
@@bo_flint93 yes, overall a lower compression is easier to boost and less risky. If I recall correctly the LQ9 and LS2 have around a 10:1 compression, where the LQ4 is somewhere around 9.4:1?
I’d say you’re right. Man my wife’s Denali has the 6.2 in it and I can’t waitbtinturbonit
Damn ... I never wanted to be a typical Mexican with a truck that’s low and loud but trucks are useful and having a truck that can move is even better ... I’m thinking about getting a turbo myself for an 03 GMC Sierra 5.3 it’s already some what quick tested the 0-60 did it in under 7 seconds more like 6.8 but still moves. Great set up you have there
I came for the truck, stayed because of having same last name. Looks good bud!
Man that’s cool, you don’t really hear this name very often.
Your video popped up on my feed and I thought I had see them all haha! I’m 99% and I’m struggling to get my innovative wideband to report to Hp tuners. My tuner said I need to wire in a 3 pole 2 way switch from the AC pin in the PCM to the AC wire on the co pressor to the output of the LC-2 controller. If there’s an easier way I’m all ears. It’s an email tune so it’s kind of a pain. But I can make whistle noises so far, pretty exciting haha. Nice video and keep up the good work
Thanks man I appreciate it. I think my scg-1 came with a cable to connect to hptuner
The easier way is to buy the prolink and pro tool set, it's worth the money to support hptuners imo but I understand everyone has a different budget. That said, there are plenty of good write ups on doing it via the AC input.
@@curbo34 do you happen to have a link? I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it...
I posted links but I guess YT took them down
Once I figure this out I’ll make a video
Been wanting to cam my 01 5.3 step side but the thought of turboing it always comes back. Wish I had money for both lol
If it were me I would turbo first then do the cam
Lol I find myself saying “let’s see here” a lot too 😂
Badass !
Please post more on this I have a 2001 5.3 going turbo. There’s not a ton of videos on this
What questions do you have and what do you need
I’ve got a 2000 Sierra ext cab same color as yours with the 5.3 and want to do the same thing man can’t wait to see how far this built goes. Love it
Thanks man I appreciate it, lmk if I can help
Fire it up
Man that looks good I'm in KY and I'm putting together a 03 Silverado 5.3 mostly cam and heads along with some other supportive bolt on mods. My only thing is finding a good tuner I've heard of shortuning I may look into but I'm very interested in your build other than the FPR issues anything else you run into that would be a issue when boosting the truck
Not yet man, I’m gonna buy a set of good injectors but that’s about it it
Nice bro can’t go wrong piecing it together your self gonna try to turbo a c10
This Hotside is for a c10
Gonna do a 67 here soon
Dude this is badassssss!
I have a 1985 Chevy caprice classic with a 6.0/4l80 and my brother and I was talking about doing this and to see that you did it with $1500? I’m SOLD!
It can be done, eBay and TH-cam will be your best friends. Especially in a big bodied caprice, you got a lot of room so it’s a lot more of a universal fit instead of having to buy stuff for something like an f body or something
That’s why I chose to do it to my truck because of all the option I have
@@bo_flint93 True. It’s a lot of room up top but but from the headers go down it’s a tight fit.
Good thing these hug the block and bell housing should fit great
@@bo_flint93 Indeed
This same setup should work on a 03 Tahoe
Very nice
I dig it and yes it gets cold as balls here in Ohio
Max respect bro, I love to see people working with what they have, it is a very clean truck and a very clean build, I subbed and would love to see a video of it running at some point.
Here really soon getting injectors soon
