Not forgetting the team of engine builders and tuners, dyno time :P But of course when they say "for cheap", it means you can of course try to find used parts also.. And "for cheap" I guess if you compare to what a prebuilt engine would cost, its still cheap, espeically if you have that sort of engine already.
You can get a blower kit for an LS motor with a 6/71 and every piece you need to swap it for $4000. In the world of race cars any more, thats cheap. You could turbo it cheaper, but blowers are cool.

Great to see yall doing well!! Roadkill has been by far the most educational, comical and to myself it has been a great outlet for ideas that the, "everyday guy" can accomplish. It's awesome getting your fix of cars, laughter and debauchery all in one show!!
Roadkill was such a big influence in my life. I would really love to see this done on an old original 350 from a 75 Chevy K20. They don't even mention what the compression ratio is in this engine.
Back in the 70s . I ran a paxton super charger on a 350 chevy . Had to make my own mounting kit .Used a blow through bonnet at first .Solid floats in a holly carburetor . The stock ones collapsed under psi . Fought the fuel psi to boost psi . Finally got my hands on a full carb enclosure .Which equalize the psi of the inside and out side psi of the carb . Changed the pump springs to get 12 psi of boost out of the pump . The 55 chevy pickup ran good after many hours of work . But I did win the battle . I think you can see why in the early days they were not in use very often .
Steve Brule' is just a tremendous gift to the sport! So much knowledge and enough wisdom - and yet so humble that you'd think he's just a dyno operator. Hey, fries and a burger you say you know a carb needs to be set up for a blow-through app, but you also say you tried the same one used in the draw-through run(s) and it wouldn't run right... Hmmmm...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boosting is definitely not cheap for the average person. You'll spend thousands of dollars buying a decent turbo or supercharger. But I will say, boosting is the way to go. I personally prefer turbohargers over superchargers. YES, there's a bit of a lag with turbo's. But there's nothing like getting that awesome sound of a turbocharger and feeling the acceleration when your turbo spools up. Awesome content guys, very cool.
I’ve never heard anyone trash the 5.3 for its bore size. I’m not saying there’s any comparison but that’s always been the argument against the 305 (or bore to stroke ratio but either way...) If you’re starting from scratch by all means go with a 6.0 or 350 but I’m all for doing something cool with what you have.
It really does us normal metric peoples heads in when you keep switching what you call things between metric and imperial in the same sentence. Pick a lane ffs
Honestly, Chinese turbos (ESPECIALLY cheap ones) are just so inconsistent. One manufacturer can have a wide range of quality control and part-to-part variance. You’re pretty much just gambling on a weather you get a grenade or not. But if you really don’t care about your engines health or reliability, then they’ll do the job. But I wouldn’t bet my life on one. And I do understand that there are some decent Chinese turbos, but they still don’t have the same quality as a more thoroughly tested more scrutinized design.
The bigger the motor the more effective a centrifugal supercharger becomes in a straight line race, and its consistent boost is easier to tune. You get the low end from the cubic inches and the boost screaming on the top end.
What's funny is holdener Freiburg And Finnegan all used to work together at Petersen publishing for the magazine's publishers and enter verse back in the day
can someone explain what they meant when in the end of the video that young guy asks the question, which is better, built, boost, or both ? and the other guys answer was both. how can you have both ? isnt it either one or the other? built or boost ?
Pro charger is the optimum way to make boost. Heat saturation becomes a non issue. Good move sirs & thank you. Forgot, anybody can drive this to the grocery store also.I agree with Dolsich, "both", hands down. You guys are the 3 muskateers of teachers...
turbo is optimum imo, no moving parts except internally in the turbo itself. it also give more power/torque, especially in the midrange. and its usually more fuel efficient
Love your guises shows and episodes, please don’t stop making my life more interesting lol. A question for you. I have a 99 5.7 L Vortech and I’m wondering what would be the cheapest easiest way to gain another hundred horsepower torque? Sincerely a new fan from Canada eh!!
I was always interested to know why you don’t put a tensioner on the other side of the belt that’s shaking. I mean it should stop the belt from slipping.
It has to be able to flex or it will snap it under load, also it's a fail safe, weakest link needs to be able to fail in the event of failure. Better a belt than a motor.
I'm glad you guys did this video. I didn't like the lag of turbo's and I couldn't fit a supercharger on a car without impeding the hood. I'm liking this already and will consider getting a Centrifugal Supercharger.
Wtf Are you talking about his wife is a very beautiful lady And there Dam sure Aint no him about it I have known him And his wife for 35 years And he has forgotten more about motors than all of you put together could ever dream of knowing so quit being some judge mental pricks
okay so its a couple episodes mixed in here....was the last engine a 5.3 ls with fuel injection and a turbo i know it was a turbo i know it was a ls but i want to mainly know what was the fuel feed
look into ATK crate engines, you get performance divison and custom build, pick the radical camshaft you always wanted to run , get the compression of 11 or 12 to 1 for under $7500.00
Question --- Have you ever built a 4.8 or a 5.3 to boost the low end torque. High rpm horse power is great but what about the 4 x4 vehicles that have anemic torque at low end with these motors. From what I can tell a 85 4.3 LB1 v6 had more torque @2500 rpm.
superchargers are alway more expensive than turbo, always. Yes, Turbos are not bolt-on and are far more work, so there is a trade-off in cost versus effort. If you don't have the skill to put into the effort, higher upfront costs are for you. Those 4.8L and 5.3L LS motors are great under forced induction or NA with cam/heads/long tube exhaust and will put down respectable power for their displacement. A 5.3L on turbo is just a thing of beauty, though...a Gen IV bottom end will handle some serious shenanigans under boost and live to talk about it.
That's impressive with a v8, but even more impressive is seeing these guys with the Honda K2.4 (4 cylinders 2.4 liter which is half the size) making over 1000hp with a turbo, head work and more fueling.
Aren't options like Sniper EFI or FiTech Go EFI practically as easy as carburetors? Yes, I know they are a lot more expensive but I would love to see those shown more along with the advantages and disadvantages over carbs and standard EFI systems.
Can you Compare a supercharger a turbo charger and a pro charger using the same model same compression same boost to compare torque curve and power output

Thinking about boosting my 73 nova. Has a built 350 blueprint motor. My warranty is expired so if it blows up I can do a Junkyard Ls no problem and do the same thing lol
Can you guys do a video explaining the difference between make a Vortec supercharger and a regular supercharger. I've got a 93 Camaro. It was all blue printed in rebuilt. We could only find supercharger wise back in the day the vortex. Now when you look at one of these they look just like a turbo. Honestly they sound way different to. My Camaros been said it sounds like a jet plane coming. I mean I'm still getting some booze not all the Boost I want I'd rather have 25 or 30 lb of boost this thing puts out 8. I'm cranking over 750 horsepower out of this Camaro. I just was curious I mean why do they look so much like a turbo. I know when forces are in and the other runs off exhaust that's the difference but I was just wondering if you guys could do video explaining the difference. I'd love to put a superchargers on that on the demons and stuff I know that I'd be over 1200 to 1300 horsepower. But I don't think they make them for the LT1. I'm honestly considering pulling this engine out and putting a big block in it with a big huge supercharger on it. Maybe later this year that's what I'll do. But could you explain why they are so different these two kinds of superchargers the Vortech and the regular supercharger
Horsepower is a result of a mathematical equation. Torque x RPM / 5252= Horsepower 5252 is a constant so HP and TQ will always be numerically same at that RPM
An eBay gt45 is like 150$ and will make 5-600 WHP with a few minor upgrades on E85. I think a junkyard 5.3 and a Gt45 and some de-capped injectors are about the cheapest proven combo you can do. The real cash adds up when you start making some power. All the stock parts on your car behind that 500 hp+ motor will get real unhappy pretty quickly. These videos are funny when they say cheap power and then show thousands of dollars worth of aftermarket stuff. At least it looked like a S475 turbo so they are like 600$ give or take and are proven but not the cheapest option if your really on a tight budget.
Can someone answer this. Can an engine obligated in this way will last? Because is not the same, testing with ZERO load totally free of pressure, than working under loads, shifting, etc; How long would it last before it breaks a piston a rod or even the engine block
An engine dyno is a loaded dyno. Any engine can last for a while as long as you give it good fuel and timing. You’re not going to build a 1000hp motor from something that’s been sitting in a junkyard for a decade and sells for less than $500 and expect it to last. I’ve built a few of these 5.3 Chevies to nearly 800hp on pump gas with a 74mm turbo. Would last nearly an entire race season plus thousands of miles worth of street racing before I cracked a ring land and had to find another - until I was able to save up enough money to build a proper block for boost making a 1200hp (on race gas, 900hp on pump) LQ4 that became my daily driver
I am surprised as to the cost of the LS3 engine, my carburator days don't allow me to purchase a new style engine because of all the electronics required to run the total set up is hugh.
Also only because I’m more curious than anything. is the place you film and test at, the same place Richard Holder does all his testing ? Like for his TH-cam channel ? I have in my head that this is a magical building, gleaming of Chrome and oozing HP and TQ and speed parts!! With a room to fit your every fancy for your personal testing desires!! Ha ha Also would be super cool for maybe you two to do a build off LS, NA and boosted vs any pushrod muscle car motor of your choice like big Block Hemi?
I wanna turbo my silverado. I have a 5.3 with a t56 with 4.11 gears. I have no idea what size turbo to use on a stock engine. I don't wanna blow it up. But definitely needs more power
Procharger is really pushing that F1A. A basic P1 or D1 would have easily made those numbers with no belt slip. That 5.4 step up ratio is why they had belt slip issues.
Nice to have a video for free. I can’t afford another subscription TV service. Dulcich was right, back in the 70’s cost was the biggest limiting factor. One they were plentiful the price came down or wages caught up and technology came along to maximize a blown motors potential.

But could you explain why they are so different these two kinds of superchargers the Vortech and the regular supercharger
ou guys helped me know what I wanted. Thanks
I love it but what here is considered cheap boost ?
Engine Masters is back!!! :D
Why does Trq cross Hp at virtually the same rpm on the chart regardless of NA or boosted?
Horsepower is a result of a mathematical equation. Torque x RPM / 5252= Horsepower
5252 is a constant so HP and TQ will always be numerically same at that RPM
@@speeddevil3218 ON A GAS ENGINE YA ! WHAT ABOUT DIESEL ? WHATS THE HORSEPOWER EQUATION FOR DIESEL ENGINES ?
An eBay gt45 is like 150$ and will make 5-600 WHP with a few minor upgrades on E85. I think a junkyard 5.3 and a Gt45 and some de-capped injectors are about the cheapest proven combo you can do. The real cash adds up when you start making some power. All the stock parts on your car behind that 500 hp+ motor will get real unhappy pretty quickly. These videos are funny when they say cheap power and then show thousands of dollars worth of aftermarket stuff. At least it looked like a S475 turbo so they are like 600$ give or take and are proven but not the cheapest option if your really on a tight budget.

Anyone notice that loose bolt jiggling and bouncing on top of the water pump ? @ 7:06
Can someone answer this.
Can an engine obligated in this way will last?
Because is not the same, testing with ZERO load totally free of pressure, than working under loads, shifting, etc;
How long would it last before it breaks a piston a rod or even the engine block
An engine dyno is a loaded dyno.
Any engine can last for a while as long as you give it good fuel and timing.
You’re not going to build a 1000hp motor from something that’s been sitting in a junkyard for a decade and sells for less than $500 and expect it to last.
I’ve built a few of these 5.3 Chevies to nearly 800hp on pump gas with a 74mm turbo. Would last nearly an entire race season plus thousands of miles worth of street racing before I cracked a ring land and had to find another - until I was able to save up enough money to build a proper block for boost making a 1200hp (on race gas, 900hp on pump) LQ4 that became my daily driver
Great video.💯♥️
Turbos on the same engine combos will make more than any blower hands down.
sooo.... why wasnt that worked over holley run with the Weiand Super Charger????
I can't believe that guy loathed the 5.3 where has he been for the last 20 years
That "guy" 😅 lol you mean Steve Dulcich? He's been building engines in his back yard all his life the old school way.
I am surprised as to the cost of the LS3 engine, my carburator days don't allow me to purchase a new style engine because of all the electronics required to run the total set up is hugh.
Also only because I’m more curious than anything. is the place you film and test at, the same place Richard Holder does all his testing ? Like for his TH-cam channel ? I have in my head that this is a magical building, gleaming of Chrome and oozing HP and TQ and speed parts!! With a room to fit your every fancy for your personal testing desires!! Ha ha
Also would be super cool for maybe you two to do a build off LS, NA and boosted vs any pushrod muscle car motor of your choice like big Block Hemi?
How much was the turbo again?
You should probably let people know the original air date on these videos
I wanna turbo my silverado. I have a 5.3 with a t56 with 4.11 gears. I have no idea what size turbo to use on a stock engine. I don't wanna blow it up. But definitely needs more power
What kind of engine's did they use
Procharger is really pushing that F1A. A basic P1 or D1 would have easily made those numbers with no belt slip. That 5.4 step up ratio is why they had belt slip issues.
Will the procharger work with an 01 ford 4.6 factory engine, its a crown vic....??? Would appreciate any advice....ty
So a 283 stroker is no good? Cause a 307 is a 283 with 327 crank and rods in it.
Love boost. I want a C8 Z06 boosted.
I want a c6 zo6 all motor with a big cam heads and a good exhaust making 500+ wheel
Favorite show. So sad it's over
Gale Banks said an Intercooler on a boosted application can produce as much power as the Procharger itself. Why would you not put an Intercooler?
are you guys back on youtube??
They're putting cut down old episodes to advertise Motortrend. I saw this episode in full literally years ago.
