- Welcome to the introduction of my TH-cam Channel!
I plan on posting lots of information about the process of building my 2003 GMC Sonoma into a street/strip vehicle.
The truck came with a completely stock 4.3L V6 engine, 4L60E transmission, and a drum brake 7.5" 10 bolt rear axle. I bought it with 122k miles
It came already modified with a Garrett GT3582R turbo and custom turbo kit already installed and running. It had a custom 3" stainless exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler. The engine was modified with an intake manifold that was mean't for marine applications (boats) to be able to upgrade the injectors from the standard spider injection. This manifold was installed with 42lb/hr (green giant) injectors.
The suspension was also modified all around. It had Belltech 2" drop spindles along with 3" drop springs in the front and Caltrac split mono leaf springs and Caltrac traction bars.
I have a handful of parts to upgrade the truck, and plenty of ideas for more upgrades in the future. I hope you all will subscribe to follow along with the progress of the build.
Thanks! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Glad to see a v6 build. It's a major inspiration for alot of people who have a low budget away from the LS swapping.
It was not built it was bought!!!
@@kennithchapman9689 you seem pretty upset are you okay?
It Cost more than a ls swap...if your broke work on your career rathaer than your truck
@@haroldstacy3785 don't understand your comment
LS swapping wouldn’t be too much more considering you are ok boosting stock LS in front of a stock transmission. If you want built on either end yes I agree with you the budget jumps significantly.
I am building a 4.3L NA race blazer. I am glad you kept the turbo v6.
I'm getting parts together for a 2004 S10 Blazer for an off road build. 4.3 pretty much stock with Dana 60's front and back with a turbo 400 Trans and a twin sticked 205. It will be on 38's for now since I have them already.
@@OldGriz708 look for me at King of the Hammers 2022
I’m building a Blazer myself with the 4.3.
How the build going???
Love that you took this truck in and expanding on its awesomeness
Happy to finally see a vid of this thing! Happy to be following along!
A proper way to ring in the new year. Great video! Looking forward to following along.
glad to find this build, keep the content rolling
It's too easy for people to just build whatever everyone else's flavor of the month happens to be, but it takes heart to build whatever the heck you feel like building. From what you described about the S10, sounds like the previous owner is a creative, practical car guy who knows what he's doing. You know people be doing some off the wall sh1t on their cars sometimes. Nice find. Looking forward to watching your other vids.
Yup! Better to be unique than just another parrot. I cant wait to start on my swap. Going to trigger a lot of people 🤣 ive even nicknamed my sonoma "trigger"
These 4.3's sound so good. Stock, turbo, charged etc.
Yessir! Excited to see this truck in detail! Great video!
The 4.3 v6’s are also good motors. The 4.3 v6 in that truck is the 350 v8 based one which is the better one. More reliable
I had a 99 Sonoma with a LT1 swap about 20 years ago. It was lowered in the rear and air ride in the front. Wish I would've kept that truck. Can't wait for more content.
Wonderful work. Thank you for sharing this!
Hey man just stopped in to say love the turbo v6. Got one myself that goes mid 7s in the 1/8th.
NICE! We have a 4.3 V6 build in process too, look forward to learning from what you experienced using this motor.
Love it, my 03 ZR2 S10 rear mount turbo with decapped spider injection but even with that i am maxed out on fuel system without even going E85
Nice truck. I ran my old 97 SS on a 150 Shot of NOS. Was a fun truck.
Just finished my 2015 4.3 turbo / nitrous :)
The 2 step sounds surprising good
These a cracking little engines from Chevy/gm
Make great budget build hotrod,restomod engines too.
I'm gonna be rebuilding my 4.3 for daily driving but I want it to have a little more balls than it did before
Nice. Intake patient.
The weight of the marine intake does not disadvantage it compared to the crappy stock manifold with the spider setup. The benefits of having the marine intake are by far better regardless of its weight. 50 pounds won't make a difference to how fast a 4.3 will go
Nice use for the preacher
Such a cool idea
Hell yes! I am collecting parts to turbo mine. I would love more pics/info on the marine swap. I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. Was really hoping to find a already converted 2114 manifold
i need to find a marine manifold, im looking to turbo mine, and i dont have enough money to blow on a edelbrock intake, or the skill to chop one in half
A 6.0l ls 2500 /3500 express/Savana work van running/driving for less than 1000, that's a win, that van can easily make back it's value within a week. For someone who does trade or hauling work
I feel ya, love it.
Saw ya on FWF. Subscribed and learning. I have loved the 4.3 for years and am looking forward to learning about putting a turbo on them. Very cool. Long live the 3/4 350!!!!! 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello love the video, been wanting the same truck forever finally got on last August 2020. I'm going to be following you from now on. I want to the following your lead to see what you go though to mirror your build. Thanks Tom
Hell yeah man. Been following you on the gram fo eva. Love the build! Wish I kept going on my 4.3 build:(
Keep the videos coming man Definitely could make it as a big TH-cam
Planning on doing the same turbo kit for my 03 xtreme s10
Man thank so much for making this. I have a 93 1500 with the 4.3 v6. And I would love to know how to do the same thing to it.
Love the truck I have a 96 4.3 Sonoma that I'm wanting to Turbo myself my goal is 600hp. I would love to hear more about your specific build or possibly ask some questions about it to get an idea of how to do it myself.
Not sure if I asked this before. I have bought a 1998 olds bravada. I bought it because I want to turbo the 4.3 in it. Make a nice more modern typhoon. I don't have a welder or any really big nice tools that I need at the moment. They make a cheap chinease turbo kit for around 700 bucks. I plan to do that and also the mercruiser manifold. I'm having a really hard time finding information and parts. I will upgrade stuff later but for now that will be my starting point. I don't want to remove my fender liners and don't want to change a bunch of stuff. I found a nicer set up thru cx racing but I have to remove the fender liners and change out my brake booster. I don't want to do all of that. This is my first turbo build ever. I have no idea about the computer, how to fool with it. I am not sure if I have to change the fuel pump with the mercruiser intake. This is a learn as i go type of build. I know nothing about turbos or waste gates or anything. I'm green when it comes to turbos but I am determined to learn and to make it happen. Any help would be appreciated. I have watched nearly all ur videos but I still have unanswered questions. I have also heard that the turbo kits that the manifold for the turbo won't clear the alternator. These are things I'm trying to find out before ordering. Thanks for any help.
I have a 1/2 ton obs with a six in it been really thinking of turbos.
If you’re still looking for your EFI fix, go with the Edelbrock aluminum 4bbl intake, CSU blow-through carburetor for the turbo, electric fuel pump. Done. Look up Richard Holdener here on TH-cam. He got around 450 easy hp with his little 4.3 and a centrifugal.
Nice build bro,Im gonna build up a 4.3l with a rear turbo, forged pistons, balanced with a ford 8.8 lsp rear .these 4.3l are underrated
You totaly lost my interest in your build when you said Ford rear end.
All you need is a Moser rear end. Better in every way then a Ford rear end.
I had 04 stock s10 and it could eat 5.0 mustangs all day long
@@Chris-re6wv ain't no way unless you beat the driver. An old 5.0 will shit on a 4.3 s10 with a good driver behind the wheel in a car that isn't running on 6 or 7 of its 8 cylinders or something else causing it to loose power or performance. I could see a well driven 5 speed 4.3 in a stripper short bed reg cab 2wd s10 maybe keeping up a little but it is Def gonna loose stock for stock without a doubt equal drivers all things equal.
@@extremedrivr yea but thr 8.8 is stout and alot "cheaper" right thought you gm guys were all about being cheap lol
I like the 4.3 turbo idea. Especially if you gotta sit at alot of stop lights and gas prices are high as fk.
I like the 4.3
I need that van 6.0 plus a 4l80e good god. 😳
Nice Bro I live in the Hudson Vally of New York. I found a Nice very little rust GMC Safari 03 AWD. I want to do something to it.
Man the sonoma hood is way way better looking than the s10 hood
Best upgrade I ever did on a rwd s10 was doing a 4x4 chassis swap and then swapping the 4x4 components to the syclone's awd system. I highly recommend that you consider it for the insane traction value proposition.
Is there that big of a difference between the 2wd and 4wd chassis?
@@shawnbrownfield9857 Yes, all the 4x4 front end components fit tightly together in a relatively small space. The RWD chassis uses a completely different front.
@@whitewalls8778 I get that,but the frame itself...is it different, as in is the 4wd frame fully boxed?thicker steel?more bracing?
Yeah but RWD is the Drag Racers way!!
@@extremedrivr w/ awd you don't need a prepped track surface- you can launch hard anytime/ anywhere.
I quickly ran into “the boat manifold” problem as well. Going to 5.3 swap it. Rumor has it that they get 36mpg and are too much fun. My stock 4.3 motor is mint though. 255k miles and not even a lifter tick. I have a problem throwing away a good engine. Even though it’s worthless to swap into another vehicle with that mileage. Pro Tip for S-10/15’s Remove the butterfly valve and cut off the restriction plate. And reinstall it. Major improvement in take off speed. But good luck leaving the stop light in the rain. It will eventually stop spinning.
36 mpg my ass lol. A vette might get 28 highway or something because of its tall od and sleek aero but I can tell you an s10 with a 5.3 ls isn't gonna gear anywhere near 36 mpg in any kind of conditions ever on any road. Not happening.
@@midnight347 im pretty sure you can get those kind of mpg's if you know what you're doing.
@@davihazel3653 The 4.8 LS is also an option and no one cares about them because everyone wants 6.0s and some 5.3s. For a daily driver that's not thirsty a 4.8 would be a solid choice and they're cheap.
What sort of MPG you get in this with the turbo?
It sounds so good 😍😍😈👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I'm putting a centrifugal small block supercharger and vortec turbo on my 87 el camino 4.3 v6 to get 600+hp ohh boy I can't wait 🚀🚀🚀
You have no idea what your talking about
I see the cooling systems been upgraded 🤣
Can’t wait for more information,
Im up all night thinking about how grandma past me in my 4.3 s10 flippin the bird as she goes round well after this video granny bring it
Hmm might need to try on my square body s10
Interested in the specs of the turbo 4.3 have you put it on the dyno. Maybe 1/4 ETs
If you get bored you should put a overhead console in
I'd love to do a Turbo or Supercharger on my 1995 S10 4.3 TBI/5 Speed
Elderbrock has a intake manifold aluminum and I’m running FAST standalone
I'm doimg a build with an old cup car chevy v-6 306,9 cid nitrous set up with 18 degree heads. Did a 4,3 stock block NA that ran the quarter @ 12,04 and 110 mph and a 8.0 1/8th years ago foot brake @ 3100 lbs.
I have a 2001 4.3l sonoma how expensive would it be to turbocharged it?
Can you maybe give me some parts/mods I could do to my 06 silverado 4.3l? I heard that the throttle body from a 5.7 would work? is that true? any help from small to big upgrades will work. Thanks.
You don’t need a LS engine if you just wanna have fun with the 4.3 liter V6 engine even Turbocharged
You can upgrade the fuel pump and add 350 injection 💉 and pistons
Turbos turbos turbos!
Bro your work looks great you opened that chest and I fell in love haha good job, keep uploading videos, greetings from Mexico
I have a xtreme Blazer 4.3 turbo what you recommend me have stuck intake
Nice truck what kinda of bed cover is that?
Would really appreciate it if you went into more detail on the intake manifold and where to find it
eBay 4.3l marine intake
Can I ask what are the specs on the whole truck I wanna do the exact build, because I’m about to pull my stock 4.3 with a nv3500 behind it and I wanna put a turbo ect.
I’m going to assume it’s on HP tuners ?
So basically add the boat intake manifold and slap a set of injectors
It’s a 350 with 2 cylinders chopped off pretty much. Reliable as hell. Why not keep the same heart in her
Do you have e a FB also?? Thanks love the truck.
What do you have in it for a rear end pretty much doing the same thing to my truck and not finding much about what would fit in it for an LSD
Hey I got a few guys that are interested in doing a turbo on the 4.3 as I am building a nitrous one in my silverado I'm pretty curious about the turbo set up my self we will see how it goes dope truck by the way
Do it!
Your best move was taking those white “racing stripes” off.
After you got off 2step it sounds like it was down a couple cylinders for a few seconds
How did you do the 2 step setup? Can you make a video on it?
My 98 SS obviously had one
Wanting to see this but with the newer lv3 4.3 with a turbo build in a s10 looking for a donar truck wrecked auctions where I'm looking gonna have to swap a bunch of stuff for it to work as the 92 s10 I want to do it in doesn't have any of the electronics on it lol (300k tired 2.8 60° v6) been a pain to find info on the swap also the dod and afm needing to be deleted as they are the main weakness of the motor and if you upgrade the cam too much you have to disable the vvt system as well (do have stage 1 vvt cams) but if you want 360ish hp and close to the same torque all motor stage 2 cam also wanting to do it awd so would need a 4wd v6 truck to then swap the transfer case to a awd unit.
What's been done to engine or is it stock?
I'm building a turbo 92 s10 blazer 2door 4x4 5speed and I'm going non balance shaft engine but I am going carburetor and doing a blow through setup
For y’all who don’t know … the 4.3 in these Sonoma’s and S10s are a V8 with 2 cylinders knocked off. Iron horse
I just picked up a 02 ls short bed with a 5 speed and the 4.3 for $1,600. Has 117k on it and it’s rust free! I am thinking of throwing a turbo kit (not nearly as big as the one he’s running). I have a 06 speed 6 with a gtx3076R and that’s plenty large. But I was thinking something along the lines of like gt25 or a 55/58. If anyone has any experience with pulling power out of them naturally aspirated let me know
I’m getting an 86 Monte Carlo LS with the 4.3 EFI V6. Is this the same core motor?
Ya but it a 130 hp peace of leaking junk. My 85 monte had the same engine now she has a 6.0 and 4l80 with 28 mpg plus over 500 hp no turbo needed. 😉
Gmc had turbo 4.3s in 91
I recently got a Chevy s10 with a 4.3l v6 what's something I should do first to it to increase power?
Cam and tune
I need this whole kit except for the fab work! Send me a link
Ive got an 02 blazer 4x4, really want to do an ls swap but i keep reading that its a nightmare. I dont want crazy power, just some more go and keep my 4x4....maybe i need this
Any idea how much power it makes or what kind of times it can run?
Made 360 @ 14psi and best of 10.8 so far
Wonder if you could mod a edelbrock carb manifold to efi and throttle body
Yes, drill the bung holes and get your fuel rails
Brandon where have you been I haven't seen anything of you. Just wondering how the Firebird is coming along. Anyway hope your doing well thanks Ray
Could you please send me the link to that manifold
Look up the gmc syclones and typhoons them 4.3 can be quick
Yessir got a typhoon 92 number 2001. I'm gonna switch the engine management system to the holley engine management system. I bought it with a lot of upgrades forged internals, bigger turbo, transmission rebuild, exhaust up graded. Love it! Plus 90s cars with the ground effects kit are making a return like the Typhoon and mustang foxbody.
I have to say man is the video is awesome but I saw that you had a leak in front of your front tire and I was either your blow up on your turbo or else it was a leak because it looks like flames shooting out right out of your exhaust not otherwise love the video bye
Wastegate shot a flame
Would love to know how you got it to 2 step!?
Custom modifications to the stock PCM. I used an N2MB WOT Box in the past.
4.3 Turbos were common in the Typhoon/Syclone. I'd be curious to know there differences, were they cammed, different pistons, rods, crank, etc? Do you know?
They only made like 3000 of those of some shit so common is a word i wouldnt use with those lol...but yes they came stock with a 4.3 turbo and was awd
Sorry if you said it and I missed it, but how are you tuning? Megasquirt? Speeduino?
I’m running the stock pcm and tuning with TunerPro
What tuning platform do you use? I'm trying to do this for my 94 4.3L s10
I've used most of them. HPTuners, EFILive, and now I'm using TunerPro.
what else would I need for the turbo install on my 4.3?
Good question. I also wanna turbo my blazer
Would like to boost my Jimmy. Nothing crazy, just want it to have a little muscle to it
Link for 2-step?
Is that a custom exhaust manifold or a sy/ty stock manifold ?
custom
