I’ve been thinking about doing a turbo kit for a while on my 2014 5.3 Silverado and after watching the video I have most information I need, is there any other changes that I might would have to do? I’m not really looking for mass power but rather a good update in power from stock so I’m not too sure if I just need the turbo kit or should look into a cam
Love the build man! Im doing a 2017 Silverado L83 turbo build right now LT4 injectors and LT4 HPFP with a DW400 Lift pump assembly have the GPI drop in Piston and rods kit and the rings gapped for 15-20pounds hoping to get it going real soon! Bought my turbo kit from Spike Performance but seeing this video I wish I went with the On3 kit Spikes kit is not near this quality. Nonetheless this video gets me excited!
I have l83 and on3 kit now with the BMF turbo. Made same power but trans didn't last. Now Cirlce D stage 3 billet and billet stall 3200. ran out of fuel. I have boost control with 2 solenoid, MSD 2 step. oh and 3.5" side exit before rear wheel. What trans temps you have. Circle D had me bypass thermostat and derale bar and plate cooler with fan and bypass lines to radiator. Under 180*
@@wesleyhall5599 Looks small but it is a derale bar and fin with fan. custom mounted on angle in front of kmember. then cut out plastic skid cover to let air get to cooler. the race core intercooler takes up front grill. and delete lines to radiator but keep ac line. stays cool. less than 180* with fluid always moving.
@@hunterquinn-kw8vc not to mention they’re the only on3 kit video on this app. Really would be nice to do a annual review. I’ll probably just splurge and go with a much more widely known kit at this point.
When buying the kit did you do any other updgrades to the kit besides the turbo itself? When ordering it the site gives you all these options for drain pumps, map sensors, boost controller etc
Thanks for this review. I had the On3 turbo kit pop up in various searches and was curious about it. Did you guys end up boring out the intake to get rid of the steps?
Never run a turbo car below 1/4 tank.. i learned this hard way.. the higher boost/horsepower really pins the gas to rear of tank and higher flow fuel system will empty the bowl/sump in tank and can cause cavitation /bubbles in line.. i cringed seeing your fuel gauge.. Love your build! I want one
you don't need to change anything to 1000 hp all you need is to gap the pistons rings correctly there is a video of a guy doing 1000 hp and nothing broke
Search other videos everyone. Shade tree mechanics give shade tree advice lol. Find yourself a great tuner not a good one who can get it started and running a great tuner who knows how to tune so your turbo lights much sooner. Daylied a turbo silverado for years still prefer that over blower anyway

Nice truck man. I agree with everything you said about the convenience and practicality of boosting your truck. I always look forward to driving the whipple'd truck. I want to try twins next build though. I'm leaning towards the Armageddon kit.
@@finishlinenoco gotcha, for boost reference. You said you had same vacum line for blow off going to wastegate as well and thought you may have hooked a vacum line to the top port on the wastegate.
Just the intake change and mild cam combined with this kit would be significant difference. If you are wanting to shift your powerband up and run higher RPMs, I would definitely recommend the heads and a spicy cam in that case. The stock ports on the heads are actually pretty good as/is when going for the stock redline. The turbo options with this kit are sized appropriately for the stock power band. Maintaining peak power at 4500 - 5500 and not having to twist it too high is one of the ways to keep things reliable.
I’d love something mild like this for my high mileage (612k) 2016 6.2ltz. Looking for “plug n play” without reworking internals, fuel, trans, etc. don’t want insane power - just a little more power from an already good motor!!
@@CodyHelton-q3s Sorry friend! that was a typo. I had around 170k when i typed that several months ago. Currently at around 177k and still going strong.
We wired in a MAP sensor as a barometric pressure sensor. The On3 kit included a map sensor that was hooked to the manifold in place of the stock MAP for accurate measurement of boost pressure. The stock MAP sensor is only really good to atmospheric pressure and not much above that, so the stock MAP sensor was repurposed as a Baro sensor to get real-time atmospheric pressure measurements. This style of setup allows for fuel adjustments in varying conditions; for example when climbing a mountain pass the amount of fueling required will change with variation in altitude, and the ECU derives that changing altitude measurement from how much pressure there is in the air (the more altitude the thinner the air, the less fuel required, and the inverse of that is true when going lower in altitude) In many ECUs that do not have Baro correction in a Realtime fashion, they take a reading from the map sensor before starting the engine. Here in Colorado at a mile above sea level, we are typically around 84KPa atmospheric pressure. Down near sea level we typically see 100KPa atmospheric pressure. Climb up a mountain pass and get near tree line, at 10,000 feet the air pressure is closer to 70KPa. That means there is basically 2PSI pressure difference of air entering the manifold between mountain driving and driving around in Denver Colorado, and another roughly 2.3PSI pressure between here and Sea Level. Since we regularly drive into the Mountains here and undergo such radical changes in air pressure, Realtime Baro correction in my opinion is a must for anyone who lives in a place like Colorado.
We didn't have any check engine codes to deal with since we left the stock exhaust intact and put the O2 Sensors back in their correct locations. If running a single cat, you can put both downstream O2 sensors in the same pipe and avoid issues. The only other thing was adding the barometric pressure sensor and changing the MAP Sensor to a different one, but we simply adjust the calibration in the computer to match the sensor setup that we're using.

If it has active fuel management i highly recommend getting the cam and deleting it
Wow. Thanks for showing us a closeup of the actual installation. Nothing like watching the grill of a truck for 25 minutes...
Goes with the immediate shit talking from the get go.

@@finishlinenoco any update on kit? Any issues
Any update have the same engine put it into a cutlass

I was thinking the same thing...either slice the OE or fab something. Thx!
I remember when cotter pin was blowing up his d series back in the days splitting the blocks in half. Good times
Blow off valve vacuum line should be on the charged side of the manifold.
How about an update a year later? I’m curious I have an 18 5.3.
curious as well i have a 16 5.3 i want to get done

How did you fix the shaft shake pass 100 mph
Wonder if this would fit my 17 Yukon

I have a 2014 Silverado with the L86 6.2 I am looking for a turbo kit so you are recommending the on3. Sweet i will look into them
its half the price of a gtr, no shit? And your still in a 4 door truck vs a gtr lol
Thanks for this review. I had the On3 turbo kit pop up in various searches and was curious about it. Did you guys end up boring out the intake to get rid of the steps?
They have two springs in the BOV... open it and remove the second spring..
Are you still feeling the same about the kit? I am thinking about making the same purchase for my 2015. Do you have a list of the parts you purchased?
How long did it take you to install the kit?
About a day. Had to modify a few things from On3. Extended the maf wires, nothing major!

Did you gap rings? And are you still on stock cam?
Stock cam and ring gap
Is this the ecotec3 motor? Could you still run the afm with this or would it have to be deleted?
Was that on pump gas
Yes, 91 Octane
@@finishlinenoco im getting the same kit but i run e85 in my tahoe
Why did he need to change the plugs 3 times in 4000 miles??
Do you happen to know what 76 turbo it was ? 76/75 or the 76/65
This installation utilized the 76/65 turbo
How much horsepower can the stock pistons handle?
Did you upgrade the drive shaft ?
Nice truck man. I agree with everything you said about the convenience and practicality of boosting your truck. I always look forward to driving the whipple'd truck.
I want to try twins next build though. I'm leaning towards the Armageddon kit.
The Armageddon kit is bad ass and great quality 👌
Hows the trans holding up?
How much boost did it take to make the 569whp?
Did you say you have vacum going to wastegate?
The wastegate has a line coming directly from the turbo
@@finishlinenoco gotcha, for boost reference. You said you had same vacum line for blow off going to wastegate as well and thought you may have hooked a vacum line to the top port on the wastegate.
How did you run the oil feed?
What is the cost of the turbo kit & labor for this setup?
Update on this?
I’m pushing 350whp with my l83 and thinking about this kit for awhile and I might buy this with cam and ported heads, highram Intake
Just the intake change and mild cam combined with this kit would be significant difference. If you are wanting to shift your powerband up and run higher RPMs, I would definitely recommend the heads and a spicy cam in that case.

@@finishlinenoco thanks for tips, I really appreciate them, yeah my plan for my truck is push around 700ish whp. I plan on doing a lot to it
Niceee 🔥🔥🔥💨Did you guys have to do a dod delete for this?
Did you do any work to the block at all
Stock drive shaft?
Yes
I'm honestly scared to go over 100 in my 14 because of the horror stories and pictures I've seen with stock drive shafts 😅
Right that's why I was wondering lol but good to know it can take the abuse from the turbo and what not haha
Keep in mind he has 4 wheel drive so it's a shorter shift than the 2 wheel drive.
My stock everything I have got to 130 more times than I should
Can stock motor and stock trans handle it
I own a 2019 Trailboss LT and after watching your video for the 2nd time I’m leaning towards the On3 Kit. Where are you guys located?
We are in Fort Collins Colorado
You wanna turn it up and not worry? Gap the rings
How is she holding up these dayss ?? Any upgrades after this video?
We have a larger turbocharger going on it now, the next part of this story will be up soon!
Stock motor, trans & driveshaft still holding up fine?
@@finishlinenoco would love to see an update video on the truck!
@@LieutenantDan703 we actually sold this truck, we have another turbo LT truck coming soon

I have a 2.4L L4 engine and I would like to know if I can turbo that engine. Nothing crazy just a little more power
Ya absolutely. You can turbo pretty much any internal combustion engine
Did you drain oil into pan or use an external pump. Great video
At what rpms does the turbo kick in
Full boost by 4k rpms. Great street setup!
Would you recommend the on3 single turbo kit on a 2016 with 110k miles on it?
We've done 2 trucks with over 140k miles on them!
No headstuds? Stall converter? Etc?
Was this on stock block?
duty cycle
does this only fit on 2014-2018 or does it work on the newest 2019-2022 silverados?
you would have to reach out to On3 for that information.
What kit upgrades did you get with the standard kit?
What did you have to wire? Did the on3 kit not come with everything?

We need an update on how the truck is doing
Update coming soooooon
@@finishlinenocohow soooooon!? Over here waiting on that total mileage before it took a s**t.
Thanks for the video. What kind of check engine codes have you had to deal with and how did you resolve them? Thanks in advance.
