02 2500HD Running now Roadtest time. Ok I have been playing with this on and off now for a little while. And have gotten to a point of post up some pics of this install.
The Truck is an 02 2500H/D single turbo with stock everything. Manifolds, exhaust, electronics,airbox, overflow, etc.
Turbo is a Garrett GT40, TurboSmart 35mm gate, TurboSmart Dual Blow off,(I am going to try to turn it into 1/2 bypass, 1/2 blow off). Air/Air intercooler 3" Thick. I might be able to leave this off later in life, working on an water/meth injection kit. Right now several parts were used to for cheapness while I figure out the bends, and connection points. So no bashing the surface rust, or dirty intake here ok.

Is the 8.1 of LS1 architecture?
I thought it was a normal BBC style motor?
If it is like a LS1 then it would be amazing, that thing just drinks gas though, I have a buddy with one.
Thanks

Yes, bascially its a BBC 496 cubic inch LS1.
Check out the intake and heads...
It has the nice cathedral port heads
. They will flow a little over 400 CFM when worked. Only problem is its cast iron and heavy.

hmm,
itd be cool if you could get that motor in the same package size as the LS1.
Dimensionally how much larger is it? Im wondering, I plan on getting a truck here soon, and was thinking about this motor. Would prefer the Duramax, but its a bit cost prohibitive right now

The sizing is a tad bit more. Also its considerably more weight then the SBC LS1. Also if you spring for a turbo diesel, don't bother with anything other then a Cummins. We have done testing, Cummins owns the rest .....I'm not a huge dodge truck fan, but they are awesome engines. Also we are working on dropping a MP GT45 into one. Should work quite well for 650-700rwhp
