My 2011 work truck is sitting in skid row right now and you are giving me some very dangerous ideas haha! Especially since I have an extra s480 sitting around! Great videos, you deserve more views!
Careful Chris, it's a slippery slope! As I'm sure you can image; once you start, there's no going back haha. If you need any help/insight, you know where to find me. Thanks for the nice words too!
Hey man, might be worth it to try weather stripping around the hole cut in the hood, if you don’t want too trim too much and have a large gap around exhaust! The rubber of the weather stripping won’t wear out your heat wrap around the exhaust as much.
Looks great. Put a wastegate on the manifold and feed it into the s480. That factory style turbo won’t flow enough exhaust with the current setup. When you put nitrous it will get way worse as far as back pressure. If you run a 30psi waste and don’t hook up at boost signal source to it, it will start to open at 60psi back pressure which will be near perfect. You will gain a lot of power there and help get the exhaust out of the engine a feed a lot more exhaust into the s480. You can run it off of the egr port but is better if you plumb the wastegate into both manifold to equal out the engine back pressure. Cheers mate
Yeah I was thinking about when I should get a waste gate in there. This particular valley charger has a very good flow rate to mitigate back pressure. But yeah maybe I will get one in there when I do nitrous
I have a 2012 I’m wanting to build. This setup is awesome and I’d really like to do something similar. Is that the factory 11-14 turbo or is that an updated 15-16? I’d love to hear more about how you made the piping work and any recommendations you have
That valley charger is a 66mm 17-19 style turbo made by Coastal Diesel and Performance. It's a very nice unit. The piping is just part of a kit from Pusher Intakes. This set up is probably one of the better ways to get the most outta these engines both on power, and driveability. You'll want to be careful with those rods tho hah. They're kinda weak.
No washer fluid with hood exhaust. I have it switched to traditional exhaust now and I put a small aftermarket bottle where the hood exhaust used to go. If you're going hood exhaust, maybe a frame mounted bottle would work
Hard to say what true install time was because I did some of it while the engine was out. I think Pusher says it's like a 5 hour job. I think it's more like 8.
@@JohnKangas currently have a fully built 6.7 thanks to a spun crank gear and a 364.5 sitting on it. Wanting to go compound but wasn’t sure if switching to precisions was worth it
I'm in the process of working out a compound setup for my 2011. What sort of boost are you seeing? I'm getting 45lb from my S366. Will be building a steel piston motor tho.
@@JohnKangas very nice. I previously had a S364.5 fitted so I'm thinking that I'll go back to that and S480 atmo. I'll do rods as well they kinda scare me. My intake setup is custom made but looks very similar to the pusher.

Won't melt either?
Interesting! I’m in the middle of installing a pusher compound on my 2016

@@JohnKangas is that a no limit setup? How's the install in cab
The compound kit is from Pusher Intakes. Is that the setup you're taking about?
Quite insane how much that thing shifts to the left!
Edit: I guess it shifts to the right? 🤷🏻♂️
Hahah yeah just depends on which way you're looking at it
good work man
Thank you
I sent you another email regarding the motor build the other day Mr. Kangas
Sorry. Just responded.
Fire punk makes four link kits that you could make work 😃 🤔
That's on the list of mods once this becomes a dedicated fun truck
My dad says he knows you cool truck man
Thanks! Where do I know your dad from?

Gotcha, thanks! I wasn’t sure what to go with, since I’ll have to switch out my 11-14 setup anyways. Appreciate it!
My pleasure. If you have any other questions, lemme know. I'm happy to make a video showing specifics too if you need.
You’re awesome man, I’m sure I’ll have more haha
How's you engine coolant tems when towing heavy uphill?
Perfect actually. I've never had this truck get hotter than normal operating temperature
What did you do about the washer jug? It almost looks like you’ve deleted it completely? Getting ready to install this setup in my 16
No washer fluid with hood exhaust. I have it switched to traditional exhaust now and I put a small aftermarket bottle where the hood exhaust used to go. If you're going hood exhaust, maybe a frame mounted bottle would work
Maybe I missed it, but how did the install on this one go since you had done it to your 17 already? About how long did it take?

You think there would be a big enough difference going to precision turbos to constitute the price vs what you have now?
For the price difference, I don't think so
@@JohnKangas currently have a fully built 6.7 thanks to a spun crank gear and a 364.5 sitting on it. Wanting to go compound but wasn’t sure if switching to precisions was worth it
You could do a precision atmospheric charger. That'd be pretty cool
Nice ima swap one in my f100
That'll be super cool!

I see like 60lbs right now on my set up I think. I don't actually have a gauge on mine, but a buddy with a similar set up sees 60-70

Yeah rods are so shitty in these :/
@@JohnKangas I'm in Australia and mine has been converted to right hand drive so everything needs to be custom.
Holy shit! That's awesome!!
what are them fog light things ya got on there??
They're from iJDMToy
What type of heat tape is that
Just from AutoZone
Do you still have 2 battery’s?
Yessir. There's a little mini one right next to the atmospheric charger.
@@JohnKangas what size?
I'd have to look, but it's like a jet ski battery
