- 2500 is an amazing platform having 90% of the pieces you already need, super clean truck with Duramax intercooler integrated, made some hits on stock motor, going to do some small mods like cam, springs, and bring it back to see what it was all worth
Thanks for the lovely air compressor cycle.
feels like you're there eh!
Just like that but only different.
Nice! I have 1500hd with the same set up! I'm running a Duramax radiator and intercooler with a 100% stock motor with 240,000 miles on it and running 10lbs of boost. Been very reliable for years now
I had always wondered why more guys didn't use the Dmax intercooler. What is the reason for needing the radiator?
I have a 04 2500HD 6.0 with like 190k on it, all stock. Thinking about adding a turbo like this, just concerned about towing. Tug around a car trailer from time to time that is anywhere from 5k to 7k lbs loaded.
@@lukemarquardt5771 rad bolts too intercooler on dmax
Yup Owen that's pretty much the only reason. The radiator is way bigger then you will ever need but it is really easy to mount and intercool sits right on the radiator so it make for a simple installation
Just switch over the top part on you core support with the Duramax one and it all bolts up. But the radiator hoses are bigger on the Duramax so you need to do some adapting to plumb it in
@@lukemarquardt5771 so my pickup is lifted on 35s with 373 gears and it would hunt for gears on a windy day before I turboed it. Now it climbs hills without down shifting and will hold speed on the windiest of days. I do not pull a trailer with it but I do haul 2 sleds in the back on a sled bed which is about 1700lbs and doesn't miss a beat. Empty I saw mpg increase as well and it was all tuned by me with HP tuners
I have a 4.8 dont bs me clone s10, just saving up for my turbo and grabbing everything I need off the wiki...... thank you for all the info you provide I can’t wait to send you a clip of it all done :) ( btw I’m 20 and built the whole thing while being a busboy at my restaurant,all while skating to work.
Christopher Elliott hell yeah!
Hell ye dude keep going
Right on
Get it!!
Applaud
Could we talk him into doing just valve springs and hitting the rollers again? Maybe see 550whp with turbo , fuel pump an springs! .
Sloppy tax just got added to all 2500 work trucks!
Thanks for all the info for the past 10 years!
Jimmy 7.3 Yeah, I'm curious to see what that stock lq4 cam would do, with set of cheap $75 blue LS3 GM valve springs.
I have this same setup 7875 VSR with 37b springs, gapped rings on 13.5 lbs. full Huron kit. 65lb injectors with a walbro 450. Haven’t hit the dyno yet
That dude is giving me ideas with that Duramax cooling stuff. Pretty genius actually.
Just an fyi for you or anyone else looking at doing a dmax intercooler. You have to have the core support, rad, intercooler and AC from a dmax for it to all fit. A dmax intercooler will come nowhere close to fitting a 1500 rad and core support.
Kyle Brown good to know. Thanks for the info.
@@kbracing96 I assume the 2500 gas has the same core support as dmax?
I have a turbo 1500hd with a Duramax radiator and intercooler and you just have to remove the plastic spacer at the bottom of your core support and it fits right in there
@@dylanmorin2534 2500hd will be same as dmax for sure. I think only 99-02 trucks were different from 1500s to dmax, but might only be hood.
Mine was a very similar setup. Stock 5.3/4L80E/triple disc circle d. 13psi from a 7875 made 536, locked (it had the 4l60 in it on the dyno). Ran 6.83@103 in the 1/8. Ran 11.21@119 in the 1/4 (@9psi). Tuned with megasquirt.
Stock springs and cam???
You were right. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have a donor 2500 that I plan to swap the motor,trans. (after rebuild) and even rear end into a K5 and I want 500+ hp in a true daily driver setup on non E85 “pump gas”. That should get me to work a little sooner.
The 2500 you did was cool i still watch it from time to time tire fryer.
I vote for new springs and another dyno
The cooling unit is a great idea. I wonder if a duramax exhaust would work as well since it pops up at the passenger side by the frame rail?
Nothing better than a sloppy quickie while you're on break at work
looks like we'll be seeing a lot more of this truck!
That is exactly what I am planning on doing. I don't have the patience for doing a wiring harness for a swap. Thanks for putting up this video!
Can you add to tune cabinet
Background synthwave on point!
Looking forward to an update. I’m in the middle of a 4l80e 6.0 swap into a 04 Tahoe and I’m soaking up all the info I can on this combo.
A+ on the background music.
Awesome vid I have a pretty similar setup so thank you for giving me an idea of where mine may be at.
These VS racing turbos are really impressive for the price. Seriously considering one for my OBS 4x4 6.0/4L80e swap.
Did you ever do it? I have a ‘01 3500 dually that I’m considering doing this same set up plus cam and valve springs.
It appears to have a stock clutch fan, based on the shape of the charge pipe, near the BOV. If so, this setup would have exceeded 500 whp, just with the addition of stock '06-up electric fans. Simple and clean; worthy of a detailed video or writeup, detailing the the cold side install and modifications.
I knew that truck looked familiar!
Just turbo’d my 01 1500hd bone stock motor and trans 256k miles, stock vs, stock decapped injectors, walbro 450lph pump, 3 bar map sensor 12.5lbs. Truck runs great, would love to do a cam in it down the road but it’s super fun to daily. Also has a quiet 3” exhaust on it so you can hear all the Chinese noisy boi stuff going on.
Well it didn’t last super long. Went from 80 degree weather when I tuned it to about 30 degree weather and I didn’t retune it. Doing a pull getting on the hwy it hit 12.2 afr at full boost and hurt one of the pistons. Still runs, drives fine just has a miss at idle and I found small pieces of piston that were in between the wg valve and the firing ring. I feel like an idiot for not changing a few things in the tune that would have helped prevent that from happening but it’s all a learning experience. If I end up keeping the truck I’ll do rods and pistons and a Elgin 1840p cam and a decent converter in it early next year after the holidays.
Is there a rod and piston combo you’d recommend for a “budget build”? I know with turbo Honda’s I always have people run the cast nippon ls turbo pistons they are cheap and I’ve made 550+whp with them. The ring lands are about 2x as thick as the factory pistons and they work really well.
Yes the glass ones or you can get the aftermarket ones that take a H4 bulb that's what I did so I could run hid lights.. also if you get the grill make sure to get the headlight buckets and springs. Only thing I had to do for the intercooler is cut the wholes and make some brackets pretty easy also
My 04 1500 quad cab 5.3 is a real dog. Would love to do this shit and make it fun to drive. The 4L60 wouldn’t last long I’m sure.
And the converter would slip like crazy, boiling the trans fluid.
Sell the 1500 and get a 2500 6.0, they trade for about the same money. I just bought a 86 M1008 Military truck with 1 ton axles. It use to have a 6.2 Diesel and now it has a 5.3
Clean build!!! Can’t wait to see it back and make 600 rwhp
Sweet build, just picked up a 05 2500hd with 6.0 and 80e for $500.
Owen Arsenault damn where I live I couldn’t get any one of those three things you mentioned for that price. You must be on the east coast.
@@mcfero1 west coast Canada, it's got bcm problems. Picked up 01 1500 with 4.8 with rusty frame for $100 couple months back.
Damn!
Alberra guy here... shit is either in bad shape with lown engine or trans, or its still priced at 8500
@@32bitcal69 Yeah I hear you. Got to find the deals word of mouth usually.
I am looking to do a build like this in a few years. Stock looking but fast as hell. Gap the rings along with the cam and springs and throw 20 psi at it. Probably be in the 650 whp area.
This is what i am planning for my 2011 1500 4.8 sierra, all stock , daily driver, has flex injectors , be happy with 400+ tire on 91 octane , Kb Racing kit s366 bw.
Thanks man, was always curious how one would do just like this....
I wish my dyno tune went as smooth.... Nice truck!
Maybe I missed it but whatever happened to that 2500 your buddy Mark bought? I just remember seeing the pre-turbo dyno vid like 2 years ago and don't remember ever hearing about it again
he ended up selling it before doing anything, as he was building both twin turbo first gen camaros at the time and just didnt have the time to do what he wanted with it
Matt you need to do this to a 2500 suburban... kid hauler/ tow vehicle...
God I wish I lived close to sloppy mechanics
Total sleeper thats pretty cool
That would make for a fun daily work truck
Hello, Great clip. Where do I go to find the parts that you used for this build ?
I really wanna know the quarter mile time when ever winter is over
How does it run without a camshaft 😮
Kevin Biggerstaff pretty dam good apparently
🤣
Solenoid valves! 😮
@@CanadaBud23 got dem dere Koenigsegg FreeValve thingamabobs
The turbo blowes the intake valves open the tricky part is getting the exhaust valves to open
Sick ass build man
Hey Matt I love all your videos do you think you could do a video on o2 sensor adjustments you do in hp tuners for long tubes? Or if you've already got some more info could you link it? I've looked thru some tunes like the g48 but didn't know what I was doing. thanks man keep it up!!!
Add tune to the cabinet please!!!!!!
Did you tune it? Was he driving it around untuned?
Matt, is this a sd tune or is the MAF still being used/ if did you do any changes to the maf tables? thanks for the updates.. now get back on the G48..lolol
Can I do this on my 06 yukon denali I would love this set up
Did you ever try this out??I have an 03 I'm trying to do
I have a 2004 Silverado 2500HD 6.0 and was wondering if I could just add a 2002 duramax 3/4 ton intercooler to my existing cooling system or do I have to replace everything on my running and driving truck?
Was it 489 to the tire on 9 pounds or 12 pounds?
Please please add this tune to the cabinet lol I'm building the exact same setup.
Do you remember tuning a pewter auto 99 z28 with cut down zr1 skinny’s? Fbo ls1 car
Legit question.....what "stock" component would you consider to be the weak link? In other words which would probably fail first?
Valve springs
Does that have a stock driveshaft in it? Are the "older" middle year trucks like that as bad as like the 2012s driveshaft vibrating and blowing apart? I know most guys say not to remove the speed limiter in the ecm if the shaft is stock, at least on the 2012ish.
It was stock driveshaft the 2500 ones are better imo
Good to know. Thanks
So you guys just bought the Duramax innercooler, radiator, and A/C core? What did that cost you guys?
I have a stock 3500 LQ4. It’s a turd, I may need to get this setup.
that blow off valve is not closing all the way until it starts to make boost
Needs a heavier spring eh?!
@@SloppyMechanics yeah for sure all my ebay one do it too. Or just say fuck it and take it off and let it chooch
Is this yours? I’d love to see a pic of your intercooler piping and how you routed it.
A new BOV tends to come with a lighter spring, more suitable for a lumpy, low vacuum camshaft. Gearhead Rob has a video, detailing how to tune a BOV.
My China bov sticks open sometimes. Good reason to throw it away and stuff
Hey, how do I go about getting an appointment to get my truck tuned?
Thanks
Email sloppymechanics@gmail.com
Where did boist come in
Will electric fans from a 05 Tahoe be a direct bolt on to the Duramax radiator?
Thanks for video. Having sloppy withdrawals. Lol
Hahah so bad ass to see ya own this thing now.
on a build like this, are the rings gaped ? and if not at what point would more gap be needed ?
Are you running a high flow oil pump with that turbo? Debating on throwing a high flow in for the turbo we got
Um so I have the same truck and have been itching to do a sloppy build for a while and these numbers are super motivating. I assume this tune will be available to the public?
There are lots there similar.
6L, 7875 billet, tripple disk, ect
Any thoughts on Taylor Rodknocking his 5.3...???
It was a used junkyard motor, I wish he cracked it open and at least did bearings and valvesprings :C But what can you expect, junkyard motors uncracked is a coinflip
Dude you should of gapped and put springs in this motor you could to at least 6k and make good power. You cheaped out for anothee 1000 dollars
for a 6 speed car w the typical combination w the sloppy stage 2 cam on a 5.3 would u still run the 7875 or something like the 7665?thx
Is this a long bed?
Is there a HP difference between 7875 Billet vs Cast?
So sick 👌🏻
Do you have a link to the parts or the kit you used
If u don't mind me asking where you guys located at
How possible is it to make 500whp with a ls1 stock cam and springs just turbo and fuel, and shitty 91 pump?
If I did this to a stock 6.0 vortec can I run regular gas instead of premium gas ?
Does anyone happen to know how the AC lines were rerouted?
Stock just moved
Can you do one with a stock tune and see how much power you can make
MAP sensor and injectors need to be changed to handle boost, and it can’t run on the stock tune
Does anyone know where I can find that cheap single disc circle d?

Sloppy Mechanics what was the ceiling on this converter?
Clown Pound 800 something has been done.
Matt, does 2 credits unlock the ECU and TCU on a 2005 2500?
Yep it’s an all in one unit those years
@@SloppyMechanics Thanks!
Hey Sloppy always interesting
oh god why did i look up boosted 6.0s now i have all kinds of ideas...... and of course i see this video! LOL
Would this be a good set up for towing
If tuned correctly yes
Matt do you still have that tune from this truck? Would you share it ? I’ve looked on your site couldn’t find it
If your interested I have a tune from a dbc turbod stock lq4, decapped injectors, 3 bar map sensor. Just reply with your email and I can send it to you if your interested.
Can this tune be added to the cabinet by chance?
Is the 6l80e any good? For power?
Stock transmisson and cooler?
Did he upgrade fuel lines?
I'm debating a little boost on my 3/4 ton 6.0 mostly for fuel mileage mine gets 9.8 no matter how I drive it.
You boost it yet?
Any build thread for this beast?
Whatever happened to this truck
sold it to build mustang
@@SloppyMechanics Dang... I'm building my 05 2500hd. But using hptuners for now. I was excited to see this build finished up.
pump gas? cant get e85 anywhere near me.....
where did you get kit? link?
Plz add to tunez cabinet moat
Was this an HD model 2500?
Yes I believe so it’s torsion bar front end
@@SloppyMechanics ok thanks man I was wondering if it matters buying a HD over a regular 2500 to build I have the opportunity to swoop an HD for 2k right now. But didnt want to if it was not the desirable model.
is it possible to add a turbo to a 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.0 Vortec. I would like to add that to my truck. Also I would like to install an Exhaust Brake or Jake brakes to it. How much would you charge to do such a thing? Also the truck engine is stock no Modifications. Also great video.
You can add a turbo to anything, but your gonna spend *several* thousands of dollars if you have a shop fab your kit...
OK. Where did you get yours done? Mine is a 6.0 vortec engine that's gas. I'd like to know how much it would cost.
I do my own fab work. It doesn't matter if you have a 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 etc... The exterior dimensions are the same. I have a S10 with a 5.3 turbo, the hardest part is the space. It should be easier for you since you have a full size truck
@@samuelk23 actually it looks like there's companies that make kits for your truck if you want to go that route! 👍
@@nsmturbo5902 awesome, could you tell me some of those companies?

i'd love to make 9 lbs on my 4.6 and be happier than a mutha!
Can anyone explain why some people elect to use E85 vs Pump?
E85 is a higher octane fuel. It allows for more timing to be added and it's usually cheap
Dang it!

Jealous ford fan bois
you can get 500 with just new cam and heads
This setup is much better for daily driving than with the huge ass cam needed to reach that number. It would probably be tough to get 500 to the wheel with just heads and a cam on these too. And now that’s he’s going to put springs and trans parts in he just simply turns the boost up with a fresh tune and he could have 600-700 wheel no problem.
billet or cast wheel 7875?
Iirc billet
Billet
Full exhaust??
Not all the way to the back but right in front of the tire, mufflers and all
