Here's a vid of a GT91/5.3 (filming from inside truck)... wasn't laggy from what I remember when I rode in it.





Run the 106! might be a little laggy, but nothing a little 50 or 100 shot can't fix.

probably won't spool any slower than this little 4.8 combo.

Would it work to his advantage if he used like 1 1/2" or a 2" hot side or am I just talking stupid here?

Haha that's sick Ren! What turbo is that?? And Randomnine, I'm not familiar with the g trim or any other trims for that matter lol. Do you know the size in millimeters? Pete91, I think 2" crossover would definitely help him

The turbine for those that are asking is 132mm on a G-trim. If you can get a 1.0 AR housing for it, you'll be on your way to help making it work.

The only problem is if this is a stock short block 5.3, then you won't be able to fit the cam you really need for this thing in there with stock pistons.

I have a customer doing a 5.3 with a S500-94 with a 112mm turbine, but that turbo is dwarfed in comparison to a thumper sized unit.

I can help you out, but it's not going to be easy! It will take careful parts selection, tweaks to the stall and compression/RPM is your friend with a set-up like this.

BTW most GT91's have a 94mm turbine wheel and the largest turbine wheel you can get is a 97mm wheel which is a lot smaller than a 130mm turbine the PT106 has.

I would also use a 2" cross over, 2.25" MAX.

YES! Spool valve, 1.5" primaries, 2" crossover and prepare for sillyness!

I never understand this, why not just sell it and buy the correct turbo, make your life a lot easier and the car will go faster.

Well yeah, there is that option.

randomninels1nova

ditching the 106 is not an option, as i said before this will be going on something built down the road, and i really appreciate everyone's feed back about this setup.

Serious. Build it on a T6 configuration (BW S475 like most of us lol) and upgrade from there. You'll already have a 'large' unit installed when you want to upgrade.

Well best of luck then, I didn't realize you was trying to build something that will run well into the 4's in the 1/8th down the road.

It'll work . you'll have to spray it to get it on the boost but when it comes in it will be nasty! My friend has a outlaw 10.5 car and he took his race motor out last winter and stuck a 4.8 in behind his 106mm that he races just for fun.. all I gotta say is its pretty amazing how much power these motors make. He never could blow it up he finally took it out when race season came around.

That truck had a forged 6.0 in it when he raced the gt500

I feel the same way. I have a PT101 that will be used with a 5.3. Hopefully by the time I have most of the bugs worked out I will have something in the 390ci range to drop in.

This is probably what I would do.

Also, what most people are forgetting is that those supras running this turbo are usually 3.4L stroked supras that, like LS1lover said, are spinning north of 9000rpm.

2.25" cross over would help now and be big enough for down the road. I would set up a single nozzel nitrous setup and spray 100 shot in the brake and turn the nitrous off at say 6psi with a hobbs switch, the turbo should take over just fine from there. (only use a little nitrous this way too). Good luck man, I like the "different" setup. Good or bad, its unique.

what turbo is that?

Looks like a S95 or something, something FI does to the Borgs more than likely.
