Using a 76 mm on my 5.3 when i get the rest of the parts for it. Might make a short build thread for it here but i posted it in the carb section, just got a cheap 38 mm waste gate. And the innercooler is Ebay, so i am using as cheap of parts possible besides the fuel system when i get the cash for it.

What I thought.. I had the engine completely tore down no pan, heads nothing. When we pulled heads there was sand in the cylinders. We cleaned the crap out of that motor. Guess it was in every part of the block. Motor came from south alabama. Im thinking water damaged truck from a hurricane or something. Only explanation I can come up with. But as of now she is doing fine and holding way better than expected oil pressure at idle after locking up. Gonna do 2 more oil changes just to be on safe side.

Well I finally got to drive the car (left camera at the shop so ill post the pics and vids monday night). Did a lot of cruise tuning, half throttle stuff etc.. Car made 3#'s at 50% throttle and 5#'s at 75% throttle and 12#'s at WOT. Starts hazing the tires right around 40-50mph + - a few mph. Couldnt hold it becuase road isnt very long and it takes it forever to stop. Need to get the manual brake kit ordered. The ebay turbo really comes on pretty good and is fully online close to 4k. Didnt think it was bad since we have a few exhaust leaks to fix so i know its bleeding some boost..

Looking to make hopefully close to 600 on race gas and 15#'s with a junk ls1 intake. Hoping the edelbrock super victor picks me up around mid 600's
