Thanks Mate, I'm running a Borg Warner S300SX-E SXE372 91/80 72mm (Billet Compressor Wheel) Supercore rated at 500-1000hp paired with a 0.88a/r T04 Single Entry turbine housing - I got it through GCG turbos in NSW if you're interested. Cheers, Gus
Hi Jacob, yes its a fully built ARP studded motor mate using a factory 304 crank. There's nothing too special inside that's for sure! I wanted to use up some parts I had laying around my workshop and give a turbo build a go. I'll be posting a full break down video of the build (with part numbers and everything) after the next dyno run - Just wanting for Lockdown to end so I can go :( Even though I'm pretty sure I saw 'dyno time' listed as one of the five reasons to leave home in Melb haha
Thanks Tucker, yes you can weld diss similar metals but its always a compromise. The only parts stainless steel were the V-Band flanges and they welded up nicely with the TIG set right and good Argon flow using 70S-6 mild steel filler rods. Cheers, Gus
Awsome to see people giving the old 5l some love still! Turbo is round the corner for my vs
Thanks Dank! Long live the 5ltrs! Without them every car meet would be a boring LS fest. All the best with your VS build mate.
Some nice workmanship there mate good one.bet it goes well
Thanks Clinton! A few upgrades done since then and I'm back to the dyno next month to hopefully make some good numbers. Will post a video soon.
Good job mate.
Nice work well done
Great job mate
🏎🤘
Ooshhh
Hi, how have those thin mild steel manifolds held up? I thought they might crack being thin.
Hi Mate, I've had the headers/crossover on and off a few times now and no issues so far.
Hi mate, awesome job all round, what size turbo are you running ?

Hey mate, good stuff. Just a question - I didn't think to weld stainless to mild steel was achievable.
Thanks Tucker, yes you can weld diss similar metals but its always a compromise. The only parts stainless steel were the V-Band flanges and they welded up nicely with the TIG set right and good Argon flow using 70S-6 mild steel filler rods. Cheers, Gus
