I've had twin VS GT3582s in my foxbody street car for about 4 years now. First with a 5.3 and now with an LFA (aluminum 6.0) with similar routing (truck manifolds as well). These have been great. They light off fast and make good power with low boost. With the 5.3, it made 600whp on 10psi and 770whp on 15psi (through a t56 and full 2.5" exhaust including flowmaster mufflers). You actually answered a few questions for me while I was brainstorming the idea on Sloppy Mechanics. Cool to see more people using these.
I cant believe your doing this build.I literally just bought these turbos and im putting them on my 4.8 in my chevelle.I am so wanting to see you test this setup at alittle bit of boost.Will be watching close for a update on this build...

Dude just selling out all the good secrets wtf. Took us 10+ years to figure this knowledge out and you just giving it away for free to a bunch of idiots. Thanks
Hey Richard, here's an idea for some easy testing. Crush bent vs. mandrel bent exhaust! Build two exhausts with some bends like for an axle etc, one with mandrel bends, one with crush bends. Run it on some sort of NA combo, or NA and turbo if you're feeling spicy! I have a feeling the crush bends would be almost no difference. On my sloppy turbo Subaru I used a tailpipe section from a silverado to get lots of bends and pipe for very little money into my hotside.
Richard, you rock, dude! This video and the 5 turbo test, have both been watched, & rewatched! Fabulous work, sir, please keep ‘em coming. If you could dive deeper into wastegates, sizing, and electronic controllers, in an upcoming video, that would be great. Thanks!
HELL. YES. RICHARD!! This video helps illustrate some of the grind you go through to do the testing. Still nothing like the grind required to test a dozen cams N/A and boosted, but still..
Really cool stuff your doing on the channel. I really like the budget turbo tests. It would interesting to try to replicate a rear mount turbo setup and compare to a turbo right off the manifold just to show the difference in boost response and torque curves.
Very interesting video. What if you turned those exhaust manifolds up side down and then made additional pipes and welded t 3 flanges on? How would that work? Just less tubing.
@@richardholdener1727 I made it up haha. I was thinking the exhaust length past the turbine. Supposedly there is power to be had by adding secondary length past the collector NA, I was wondering if there was a similar effect with turbos?
I've been planning on doing a single on my suburban for a while I need to go thru the motor first it had all the blow by before I parked it and a 4l80e
Mr Holdener, i have an idea for a test that would generate some interesting data. Use a centrifugal blower. Make a dyno baseline. Start restricting the exhaust, measuring exhaust backpressure, and it's effect on output. Start with 0 backpressure, then work up to a 3X backpressure. We could learn the effects of high backpressure in turbo motors!!!!😁
My thought process is that a centrifugal blower keeps a fixed ratio. Restricting the exhaust up to 3 times boost/manifold pressure should show some data that would help to correlate the effects of pressure differential boost/backpressure in turbo motors. The effects on total output, and required changes in ignition timing as backpressure goes up😀
As backpressure goes up from the restricted exhaust we should see the intake pressure rise, and the engine getting more pissed off, and taking less ignition timing before spark knock.
@@richardholdener1727 I am certain excessive exhaust pressure leads to a higher "gauge" inlet pressure on a supercharged deal. My question is how higher exhaust pressures effect the tune-up and potential output. The fixed ratio centrifugal should start getting pissed, and tolerate less timing as ex pressure goes up from 0 to 3x
fun to watch and catch those nuggets of knowledge, I just got my 65 wagon swapped 4.8/4l80e running yesterday, now to pull it out and drop in the turbo engine (ring gapped/cammed 6.0)
** Richard, do you use the maF sensor in this setup at all? or are you just using a maP setup? I wish you would go more detail on how you setup the computer on these setups.. thanks
Richard interesting videos you post, I was referred from you of the forums I'm in.i have a question. What your thoughts on a set of are small frame 88's /75ar housing on a 500 " motor?
Yeah but they were huge and axial flow designed to be placed in that way for negative/positive Gs, most car turbos would not last long without that oil draining aided by gravity.
@@richardholdener1727 it had a centrifugal supercharger, but with altitude it would lose power, unlike the Merlin and German counter parts, it did not have a variable speed control because the army wanted Allison to focus on “turbine driven” superchargers, but it was too big to be placed in the P51, so they just used the Merlin 1650, but for the p38 they had space in the back of the engines and used the “turbos” to supply the extra pressure difference with the altitude. The engineered called the first p38s sent to Euro with out the turbine as “castrated P38s”
One side is the flat flange, one side is the ball and socket. every 99-07 is this way, and most past that are the same design. ive never seen one that uses either 2 flat flanges or 2 ball and sockets, they are always one and one.
Richard. Please tell me what video you used the tfs205 heads on. I've looked threw all my mags. I think I remember you mentioning them in one of your videos also but can't find it.
@@richardholdener1727 yea I was acared.of that I just got a rebuild with a small cooler imna add another ice to water cooler in truck do u think that will help or the turbo will still fry the trans?
Its it bad to mount the waste gates on the bend like that. The exhaust is blowing straight into it. Wouldn't it be better mounted on the side out of direct flow?
That's actually the preferred way/place to mount wastegates. It's referred to as "wastegate priority." It helps ensure the wastegates are able to provide good control over the boost level.
Another great video... just a comment: The stock 2010 Camaro manifolds are also fairly cheap since many people swap in headers... and they are much easier to fit between the front frame rails, they hug much closer to the side of the block.
I’m trying to do a 5.3 twin turbo I’m wondering what is the best size turbos to run that won’t be to big and cause lag which ones u think are the best to run with least lag but most performance
For some stupid reason gm used different flanges side to side. Ok so I didn't need to say that, but hey, I hear more comments help the algorithm so here's my free gift Richard😃
There is something like 7 different styles of exhaust manifolds for the gen3 engines. Camaro corvette truck tbss all have different ones. I don't know about The gto or hd trucks. The gen4 engines have a different head flange pattern so there is even more.
Have you ever done a dynamometer test comparing different weight engine oils? The owner of the machine shop that I use is recommending that I use 15/50 in my BBC street engine. I'll take his advice, but I used to run straight 30 weight back in the day. Just wondering what effect that might have on horsepower.
Hey buddy, I’ve got a 5.3 gen3 stock Ls with a monster trans for 600+hp with Holley term x max and trans control. If you know could you tell me how to get the torque converter clutch control (tcc) to function in this setup? I’ve spent several hrs trying to reach a Holley tech with no luck. Thanks if you can for the help.
In the Transmission GCF there is a place for it. If you loaded the correct configuration id inagine it would be enabled. Pull your tune and load it into your labtop. Open the software and look at your setting in the transmission ICF. Lots of good remote tuners out there I used TCtuned and then learned what I needed to make my Tremec work
Question 🙋♂️. I have a new stock LQ9 6.0 with LS3 heads. It’s a new crate engine from GM. What size turbo would you recommend I start my Selection process. Or twin set up. I’m trying to stay under 10psi. Thanks
Gt3582s are usually around 400 each on eBay, intercooler is whatever fits your car and power goals, anywhere from $200-$1500. Then it's up to fuel system and piping, so anywhere from $1200 to $5k. Really depends on your fabrication skills and creativity
Richard when are twins worth it? It seems like for most situations at least under 1000hp, where you could get it done with twins, there is a single larger turbo that could get the job done better. You showed alot of dynos where the single had quicker response and more power than the duals. It seems now that from the data you provided that duals and more come into play where you need excess power levels. We had always assumed two smaller turbos would provide better response, but your dynos show differently.
@@richardholdener1727 True. I dont think you where trying to display a trend but its hard not to notice. Most of us assumed two smaller turbos will usually have a better response and more power than a larger single.
Can you run these turbos and use oil only? Or do you absolutely have to use the water side or can I just block it off? I am planning on running these on a blowthrough setup on a 5.3 ls.
I think big singles still outperform two smaller ones as far as maximum power potential. In drag racing where your leaving under boost either on a 2step or trans break, you are not worried about boost response of a laggy big single.
@@madmod in very fast cars you are, some of the low 4 high 3 second (1/8th mile) cars are ramping boost as quickly as possible and if they use too big a turbo it can't accelerate fast enough to bring boost in as quick as they want it. Granted, 99% of us will never be at that level, but its technically possible
@@madmod I mean idek what you're talking about I street my car, and I plan to street her till she's in the big wrecking yard in the sky, which is why I'm going for the mod motor world record with a twincharge setup (think twins feeding a whipple/kenne bell/vmp/whoever I can make fit cause I'm using B heads.)
Why does the turbo have to use gravity to drain back to the oil pan? Why not use the oil pressure to push the oil back to the oil pan in the case of a low mounted turbo? I want to mount a turbo under the bed of my truck. Do I have to have some sort of special return system?
A2W systems employ their own dedicated water tank (looks like a 5- or 10-gal. fuel cell) with its own fluid pump (Rule brand is popular), can be mounted in the trunk, pass. compartment, etc. Budget versions are all over Ebay/Amazon for cheap-cheap.
I've got a serious question to ask. I've got a 99 Z28 with a 5.3 T56 six-speed with a 12-volt Moser rear end. It's going to be a turbo car soon. Do I need to go twin turbo or single turbo it will be a street strip car
I'm actually thinking of pulling the 5-3 out of my Camaro and putting it in my wife's Cadillac CTS and if I do that it will be naturally aspirated and I will get a 6.0 for my Z28 and put a turbo on it instead of the five three. I still need to know single turbo or twin turbo

@@madmod in very fast cars you are, some of the low 4 high 3 second (1/8th mile) cars are ramping boost as quickly as possible and if they use too big a turbo it can't accelerate fast enough to bring boost in as quick as they want it. Granted, 99% of us will never be at that level, but its technically possible
@@madmod I mean idek what you're talking about I street my car, and I plan to street her till she's in the big wrecking yard in the sky, which is why I'm going for the mod motor world record with a twincharge setup (think twins feeding a whipple/kenne bell/vmp/whoever I can make fit cause I'm using B heads.)
Why does the turbo have to use gravity to drain back to the oil pan? Why not use the oil pressure to push the oil back to the oil pan in the case of a low mounted turbo? I want to mount a turbo under the bed of my truck. Do I have to have some sort of special return system?
The seals won't stop oil from leaking through to the turbine and compressor wheel. You must drain the oil before it reaches them.
many guys use pumps for low mounts
@@richardholdener1727 would you ever turbo this Jaguar v12 mentioned in this video ua-cam.com/video/mypfMUGVtrg/v-deo.html
Where would I get the cooling water from for the air-water intercooler? Would you run from the radiator or a separate system altogether?
A2W systems employ their own dedicated water tank (looks like a 5- or 10-gal. fuel cell) with its own fluid pump (Rule brand is popular), can be mounted in the trunk, pass. compartment, etc. Budget versions are all over Ebay/Amazon for cheap-cheap.
Living the life
I've got a serious question to ask. I've got a 99 Z28 with a 5.3 T56 six-speed with a 12-volt Moser rear end. It's going to be a turbo car soon. Do I need to go twin turbo or single turbo it will be a street strip car
I'm actually thinking of pulling the 5-3 out of my Camaro and putting it in my wife's Cadillac CTS and if I do that it will be naturally aspirated and I will get a 6.0 for my Z28 and put a turbo on it instead of the five three. I still need to know single turbo or twin turbo
either will work-that is usually packaging
Do convert all the maf engines to speed density? And how much boost can the factory MAF handle
WE RUN A HOLLEY ECU-SPEED DENSITY
What are you using to control fuel? What would you use on a GMC Sierra 5.3L?
WE HAVE HOLLEY HP
Can you test out On3 performance turbo parts?
