@cjcusey9163 my bros engine is on its last legs. We want to rebuild it after I finish my 4.3 . I let some a-hole do thr timing chain. He didn't do it, stretched and skipped a tooth, lost compression due to heads . Oh well got 278k out of it
It's been good since I blew the head gaskets and upgraded to MLS head gaskets. But I see them for sale often with bad head gaskets so it's definitely expected with boost
Isn't it usually the back two cylinders that get super hot because the coolant can't cool them down effectively, so the block gets hot and expands and contracts different from the metal on the heads and that's usually where the head gaskets fail @@CJSFBRD
Thanks! I'll be honest I did find what it doesn't take. The weakest things for boost are the factory head gaskets but you're good once they are upgraded.
I would love a lowered turbo version, especially after the learning experience of this one. Also 2wd would be much lighter. This truck is 4500lbs without me in it!
Mine are aftermarket but ready for new ones again, the trails have busted mine or maybe I hit to many things 🤷♂️ and being ebay quality they faded insanely fast. The Zr2 and maybe other models have fog lights in the lowers next to the blinkers but the aftermarket have no fog light bulb socket, which is why mine are now in the bumper
Ok.. so I could hold my brake and do burn outs when mine was the stock 4.3 chevy too.. do it from a stand still without using the brake.. My Cyclone 4.3 vortec Supercharged i put in my truck with Edlebrock intake and carb,comp cam is bump'n me out 485hp.. i do that same burn out on take off without using my brake.. still you got a good truck.. nice 👍
Mine is a 5 speed ZR2 which came with disc rear brakes and before the turbo it did not have enough power to overcome the rear brakes. Basically the whole reason for the turbo
@z45h15 i built a Syclone 4.3,turbo,cammed etc,and just added an intercooler to it.. I don't really understand your statement about not knowing how I can pull burn outs..
@Seven.And.The.RaggedTiger I was referring to my ZR2 with oversized tires won't do burnouts before the turbo kit. I'm sure with stock 31" tires or less it would be fine. Also, the ZR2 has factory rear disc brakes which grab hard. I'm just happy the turbo makes burnouts great again!
I'm in the process of fixing mine, something sparky must have happened to mine, cause I replaced my alternator, then the cap an rotor went, still didn't start, then tdc, then shorting the pcm to reset, and it still needs a TPS.
Have you worked on 1st gen s10’s before? I plan on putting a turbo in my 92 s10 in the future. It’s been sitting for six years but I’m already working on it putting a new starter, battery, starter cable, and ignition wire. It’s a badass truck and I just need some advice on them even tho I still have the book from the factory.
I miss my 4.3 2dr blazer😂 i gave that thing absolute hell for 10 years then sold it to my little cousin. Whos also beat the living shit out of it and its still going strong today😂
EDIT: I have now removed the FMU : I put a Blox racing FMU on the return side of the fuel rail. It restricts the return line and raises the fuel pressure based on boost pressure. I don't plan on pushing it past 10 psi, it is non intercooled and the spider fuel injection is complete garbage.
I also have a 4.3 5 speed in a 00 silv1500, and hptune unlocked already, have the timing cranked up a ways. I've thought about a turbo a few times lately. Pretty decent power increase,?
First wastegate spring we tried was noticeable power difference just at 0psi wastegate opening. Then 3 psi spring followed by 7-8 psi spring which had the power I was looking for from a 4.3L vortec, which also resulted in blowing out a head gasket
@@chriskolden5218 how do you like HP tuners? is it worht the money? how easy is it too tune with? Got experience with tunning hondas, and fords, using moates,xbinary editor all that.. I been debating on dumping the cpl hundrd$$ on a HP kit to tune my 4.3 5spd sierra..
So even with the turbo, the only way to generate enough torque to break the wheels loose is to do a reverse neutral drop? I am saying a prayer for your timing chain and gears.
I doubt it big time. Mine is practically stock, caltracs, and a kn intake being the only mods that actually do anything, and itll break loose if i floor it stopped with performance tires (admittedly rather cheap ones but they grip pretty well just wear out fast) Another point however is that it is the 7ft bed so there is less weight on the rear tires (this is entirely a guess based on the fact i think the wheel base is longer)
It shouldn't affect fuel mileage other than I can't keep my foot out of the throttle now! I pull cars on a trailer with no problems, and it's actually quite enjoyable. I currently have 15k miles on the setup with no real issues. I do have MLS head gaskets and would strongly recommend them as the stock won't hold for long on boost.
@@CJSFBRD thank you very much! Want to turbo mine. I just need the extra power for steep snow covered mountains in alaska!! While towing a trailer did transmission upgrades.
@user-km3sg1hy9s I have rebuilt my transmission but it is a NV3500 5 speed 4x4. I would guess the 4L60e wouldn't have any problems as the 4.3L Turbo is similar power to a V8 with a 4l60e
Why? It has rubber motor mounts and the 4.3 does not make that much more horsepower than the 2.2, get a book on these trucks and turn to the engine and specs pages and your jaw will drop when you see how weak the 2.2 is and you will see the 4.3 power is close to the 2.2 engine. Honestly this is why so many of these trucks don't last the 250,000 miles Google says they last.
4.3 may not make much more hp but destroy the 2.2 on torque numbers. I just like to build things that are different, and I don't believe anyone has done a turbo 4.3L and kept the factory spider injection for a budget build. Just wanted to show it can be done for cheap with minimum mods and without doing the marine 4.3L intake swap. I also would never touch a 2.2L, not going for miles per gallon. It's all about smiles per gallon!
@CJSFBRD yeah man I mean don't get me wrong it's cool and I'm sure it's fun but I'm a gadget enthusiast with 5g phones and today's technology in tablets being made today, in other words I don't have the patience to plug into an ecm and type in what I want it to do. I miss the days tbi obs trucks that are efi but have the same style intake flange as a classic style intake which means those motors are easier to modify and give it maintenance is easy aslo.
@CJSFBRD my dream truck is an early 90 like a 95 Silverado standard cab short bed I like them to be in the year range of 1989-1995. Anyway my dream truck is a obs with mild shift kit in the transmission and maybe like smog legal exhaust performance headers, it's a 5.7 motor, they are good trucks all done up on 20 inch rims and rubber band sidewall type tires, like real low you know? they don't rub when I turn or go through dips.
You just gotta commit, get most of the parts and a welder. I definitely went the sloppy cheap route on this one. It may not be fast in the car world, but it's fun as hell to drive now and makes awesome sounds
@@CJSFBRDgot a 5 speed 4.3 GMC Sierra I want to turbo this winter, could you possibly shoot me in the right direction on how you turbo’d it? Stock computer? No boost control?
My son wants to turbo his blazer will it hurt the engine stock or should be buy a cam and throw in it to along with a turbo and ofc the fuel management prob gonna go with blox fmu and Holley EFI
With the Holley EFI, you don't need a Blox fmu. The stock head gaskets most likely will not hold, I upgraded to MLS head gaskets. You also do not need a cam for a turbo, every cam is a turbo cam. Boost will make power with stock cam.
@Scott-gg2lx make sure you have plenty of fueling and pull a bunch of timing, I also only run mine at 10 psi of boost. Once I add an intercooler I'll bump up to 15 psi but I think that's going to be about the limit of a stock 4.3L
I wanna put a Camaro diff under and weld my drive shaft to fit so I can gear that power house to its full potential just wanna see how fast we can really get er goin
Hey could you teach me how to tune the 2nd gen s10s? I have an 02 sonoma crew cab that I cammed and put shorty headers on it and ive been trying to tune it with hptuners and ive been using grg tools and I cant get anywhere with it, it runs super bad and backfires like a mf
I have the same engine in my 2000 bravada. I want more power do we think turbo is the best idea ? And could someone direct me to some videos on the subject
Single turbo is almost always easier and the 4.3L vortec can only hold so much hp. I do have a full video on the channel to help with some idea or at least help understand how I pieced the unit together
The worst part is probably fueling on a 95. Depending on your current fueling setup or tunability, you may need a blow thru carburetor or sniper efi would be the perfect setup for easy self tuning abilities.
I stay as far away from a 4l60e as possible, I've replaced way too many of them. The 5 speed in the ZR2 is a blast and just makes the pickup for me since they are hard to find
Also, I did pull apart the 5 speed last winter to replace the input shaft after the pilot bearing went out. All the synchros looked like new at 170k miles
Basic 2003 4.3L vortec with the phenomenal spider injection design 174K already broke piston ring lands on the first attempt running out of injectors and way too much timing. I did check piston ring gap at 170k and was at a whopping .040, just asking for boost and a proper tune
so pretty much,... rip the spider injectors aprt. GET boost ref' FMU, bigger pump, lgt35, or 60-1 turbo? .68 hotside? .70 coldside turbo? some piping.. a scavenge pump? lastly HP tuners for the timming? And be safe to run 7-8psi? lol shyyytt i got most that layin in my shop.. except for hp.. lol
Decap the injectors, 450lph-ish fuel pump in the gas tank. NO boost reference FMU, I tried the FMU setup and it messed with the tuning on HPTuners. Much easier to tune without FMU. EBAY turbo from over 10 years ago not sure what size but its smaller T3 flange
You could outsource HPTuners locally most likely, either way it's the most inexpensive route but possibly the most expensive part. Once turbo is hot I have been daily driving at 7-9 psi. 91 octane and no intercooler
Oh man, I have no idea. It was off one of the ebay twin turbo kits about 10+ years ago. I've had it sitting around for a while. It's pretty small and has a T3 flange
Under $1000 but I did have some of the parts laying around, like the turbo and I reused old exhaust pipes and modified them to work again. The can vary depending on what parts a person has laying around and also how they get it tuned. I so far have tuned this pickup myself with what I learned in youtube
I'll have to check it out, im not trying to make this old dog super fast but damn these 4.3L are completely gutless and I have had this turbo laying around for much too long
@jakecarlile2294 mine is a 2003 vortec, and they are rated 190 hp and 265 tq. Also being a ZR2, it comes with 3.73 gearing which is pretty decent, but 190 hp in my 4500lb truck is no racecar. Like I always say "4.3L The power of a 4 cylinder and the gas mileage of a V8"
@cjcusey9163 hell, I'd put that uo against my 88 Dakota once the motor is built the way I want it. After all the die grinder work and post parts hunting, I should be making around 200hp and around 250tq. Give or take on the numbers. I'd have to dyno it before or after it's in the truck
@toast9758 I definitely should put an intercooler on or swap to E85 but I don't think I have enough injector left to support it. 300whp would make me happy as a daily driver. I'm guessing it's around 250 whp currently

shoulda pinned this against @rustbeltgarage dakota when it still had a 3.9L turbo
I'll have to check it out, im not trying to make this old dog super fast but damn these 4.3L are completely gutless and I have had this turbo laying around for much too long
@@CJSFBRDmy 4.3 isnt gutless i can pull 3 quads up a hill and gain speed. Maybe its your gearing. Mines a 89
@jakecarlile2294 mine is a 2003 vortec, and they are rated 190 hp and 265 tq. Also being a ZR2, it comes with 3.73 gearing which is pretty decent, but 190 hp in my 4500lb truck is no racecar. Like I always say "4.3L The power of a 4 cylinder and the gas mileage of a V8"
@cjcusey9163 hell, I'd put that uo against my 88 Dakota once the motor is built the way I want it. After all the die grinder work and post parts hunting, I should be making around 200hp and around 250tq. Give or take on the numbers. I'd have to dyno it before or after it's in the truck
@toast9758 I definitely should put an intercooler on or swap to E85 but I don't think I have enough injector left to support it. 300whp would make me happy as a daily driver. I'm guessing it's around 250 whp currently
