“Supercharger needs to be louder”
***casually steps on it and it’s all I hear*****
Just wanted to reach out and tell you that I still have my LT4 blower on the engine and its making 722HP at the crank after Ben tuned it. It runs great, Got the IAT down below 120 without any other parts .
Take care and thanks for all the help you were there for me when I needed help so let me know if you ever need anything
Jeff
I am so glad you got it running good! I’m glad I was able to help! So you are using the small reservoir and everything?
Jandmonline what did you end up having to do to get your IAT’s down and which pulley are you running?
You got the 5.3 or 6.2
I may have missed it in another episode, but how much was your total after everything was said and done?
Marty Collins I’m actually going to do a video on my cost breakdown. I pieced my kit together, and had a few unfortunate circumstances that made it cost a little more. It was in the neighborhood of $4,500 total. Stay tuned, and I will do a full parts and cost breakdown for everyone!
Short Stack Garage thanks man, I appreciate it
Marty Collins anytime! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
Short Stack Garage will do bud
@@shortstackgarage2063 hey bro I have a 2wd 2014 Chevy pickup and it says I can put a Diesel engine in it but I’m jus interested in doin a supercharged how you did bc I want that sound lol but would you know if it could be done?
Ambient air temp/humidity has a lot to do with how much timing is pulled so you will see some variance with different weather conditions/pressures/temps etc.
Yep, this was the exact reason I was having trouble. Summer in Texas is bad for boost.
you didnt have to change any internals on the engine?
Not on the low boost I was running.
Sure sounds like there's air in the intercooler system.
pmoore4321 there was a little at the time of the video. I’ve bled it some more since then, and it better now.
@@shortstackgarage2063 Yeah, mine was a pain to get bled. Took a long time to get that "solid" flow sound.
pmoore4321 it really is a pain
It’s been a while, but man shit looks sweet. When will u have the finalized tune and some full pulls. Can’t wait to see some more actions.
C5z Corvette Thanks man! I have some news on the supercharger coming up in a couple of days.
is it fast
Not really lol. I ended up selling it to get a camaro if that answers your question.
Are you nervous at all about running stock manifolds and catalytic converters? I know of two guys (granted both ran the 2.35” pulley and over 11psi) getting blow by into the crank case... I’m doing a Kooks y pipe with high flow cats and having an exhaust shop build a transition. I as well as you are trying maintain a quiet daily truck and Headers are just way too loud. But I do think if either of us intend to run more boost you will need to further distance the cats from the manifold outlet with some Hi flows, or delete them all together. I think cylinder pressure/heat with that much restriction should be concerning but that’s just me. I’m in North Ft Worth area by the way.
I ended up selling the supercharger setup, but I would have done exhaust next if I kept it. Have you gotten your exhaust built yet?
Short Stack Garage I ended up running kooks longtubes catted to relatively stock exhaust... it’s very clean and quiet.. supercharger is going on later this week..Finally ... shouldn’t find out if I have IAT issues until spring... just going to not mess around and get the interchiller to take care of it and that will allow me to tow without heat soak
@@spencerhamilton8171 there was another person I was talking to that had the interchiller setup, and he said it’s great! I think it lowers the IAT’s somewhere like 30-40 degrees.
Short Stack Garage yep! I just don’t want to mess around..just want to take care of it
@@shortstackgarage2063 I'm curious, why did you sell it
How much hp you pushing
I never actually got it on the dyno. It was too slow for me, so we ended up taking the supercharger off.
Oh we can hear it alright!
So could you tell me
What supercharger I need for
A 2014 5.3 I’m currently doing a cam swap as soon as we’re done with the holidays
A 2014 with the 5.3 is going to be an L83 just like this one. Now the prices of supercharger kits have come down a lot since doing this swap. I would recommend looking at Magnuson or some of the other supercharger manufacturers for a kit that includes everything. Nothing wrong with the lt4 supercharger, but if I did this over again, I would buy a magnuson.
@@shortstackgarage2063 that’s great advice I thought it was cheaper going your route
But you’re mechanically inclined my knowledge is minimal so I hope I can do more cost effective
Sound just like my truck except the supercharger haha shud I change my plugs 68k
It honestly depends on the type of plug you have. The iridium plugs in some cars nowadays can last up to 100,000 miles.
Hell of a job. Did your tuner give you any numbers? Also do you think your part list would work on the L86 6.2 Trucks?
2FaceKing I haven’t gotten any numbers yet, but from my research it seems the l83 gains about 120hp in stock form. I believe everything is the same for the most part.
Short Stack Garage That’s some good gains for the money compared to other routes you could have taken. Thanks for the reply.
2FaceKing It’s not bad! I plan on doing a price breakdown here soon.
WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE HEAT EXCHANGER AND HOW WAS YOUR IAT'S
I used a factory 2016 z06 heat exchanger, and my IAT’s were kind of high. If you decide to go this route, I highly recommend that you got with at least a bigger reservoir. I believe Cordes performance makes one for these trucks that works really well.
I'm a loyal Chevy guy I really want to be loyal man but I just have to say new cars suck and it's every kind of new car I just don't like the electronic throttles electronic transmissions everything man it's just I don't like it the way they drive All good I'll run into couple years and then I might get a 2500 with the 6.6 No AFM probably get wifey a older Tahoe just to play with
I am definitely not a fan of afm. GM is having even more problems with it now. If I had kept the truck, I was going to delete the afm. But I sold the Chevy a few months ago.
@@shortstackgarage2063 yea I got it 3 weeks ago already slipping into 3rd told them I don't want it either getting 5.0 f150 or V8 tundra
Would this LT4 b2e compatible with my 2013 Silverado 5.3?
No it wouldn’t. Chevrolet went to the LT based motors in 2014, which are different from the LS based motors that are in your truck.
@@shortstackgarage2063 I'm new to this, but what can be a good route for my 2013 5.3 ...anything affordable like this LT4 supercharger?
Sweet
What kind of exhaust do you have?
I was running just a carven muffler on this truck. I wanted the truck to have just a slight tone to it, but not be too loud.
Awesome bro
Erik Mendoz heck yeah!!
Man i love your videos
thanks!!
Some more info on the custom setup please. I have a ZL1 so I'm familiar with the LT4. Is this literally just a LT4 intake/supercharger and fuel system with a tune essentially?? I don't need fast, just the stock 5.3 feels slow, and everyone wants really premium money for the 6.2 trucks.
I’m going to link the video of me breaking down the cost. In the description of this video, I link every part I had to use to do this swap. I didn’t upgrade my fuel system, but you can always go to the lt4 high pressure pump, and injectors if you want to run a smaller pulley and make more boost.

@@shortstackgarage2063 thanks, just watched quickly and was hoping for a budget setup, but this looks to be similar money to the TVS 1900 kits available.
@@JNatella yeah, that’s what I was hoping for also. It didn’t end up being that way though. You can get used setups for around what this cost.
@@shortstackgarage2063 Sorry it didn't work out. I had the same idea and was happy to see someone had done it before
@@JNatella it’s no problem, I’m working on an F-body now. Pretty excited about that.
what size pulley and did you buy the whole adm kit
I’m running the ADM 2.8” pulley. I didn’t buy their kit, but I did buy a few of their parts from them. If I could do it all over again, I would do a different intercooler set up from the beginning. I plan on buying a bigger reservoir, and intercooler in the future to bring down my IAT’s.
Short Stack Garage the heat exchanger itself? i’m thinking of doing the swap my self and i’m not looking forward to cutting up the truck to mount the heat exchanger
Czacco43 yes, heat exchanger. Now I’m going to try a bigger reservoir first, and see if that helps. I’m running a factory 2016 Z06 heat exchanger in mine. I really didn’t have to cut too much to make it fit. If you watch our intercooler install video, you can see what I had to do, and it’s very minimal.
Short Stack Garage is there an option that’s the same size as the stocker? if not i know whipple makes an intercooler that bolts right up but i don’t know if it’s a direct replacement, i was also thinking of running a battery sized ice tank but then have to find a place to put the intercooler pump slightly lower than the tank itself
Czacco43 I’m not sure on that. The main reason I went with the factory intercooler was the hose kit and quick connects. But now that I have it in, I’m rethinking it. I know Cordes performance makes a 3 gallon tank that fits in the spare battery tray of the 14-18 models, but it’s $400. So I’m actually in the process of looking for a different option that’s a little cheaper.
Bros looks like walter white
My wife just showed me a side by side pic… this comment is pretty spot on lol…
