Ok well I final got the turbo dyno's. Had to before I started on a different swap. 5.3-8.1L. Not what I was hoping for but ok I guess for a stock truck that started of at 170hp. 196tq. The engine was tired then and I think its really tired now. It started popping in the exhuast on the 2nd pull around 5000 and then by the 4th pull 3800 and by the time I got home hardly any boost and poping in the exhaust, even thought I heard one in the intake.
Once home I can free rev the engine all seems ok no issues. I think the springs went way south.. figure now the engine has over 165000 on the old stockers. LOL Any way here are the graphs,the first dyno pull and the last pull for this old engine.
So with
efans
synthetic oil in the engine, tranny and rear end
New exhaust
One turbo kit
one mail order tune
We gained
212. hp
257. tq
and one worn out engine. LOL
Not bad for off the shelf parts, and lots of fun doing it.
