Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My 04 turbo colorado (build, destroy and rebuild thread)



so i tweaked the timing a bit and got it running decently under boost now with minimal knock, i think it's burst knock (sudden increase in air mass).. so anyways it's running but theres still some stumbling under part throttle.. but rather than risk blowing it up again im gonna have it tuned by a pro on my vacation in 2 weeks
 


tuning the turbo was a nightmare, i got tired of screwing with it and wasting money.. so it's gone, im on the hunt for an LS3 ;)

You'd be doing it wrong.

LS1's are still worth 1500-2000.

LQ4's are $800-1000 all day long.

You get more cubes for less money, able to use cheap heads that flow better.

Whats not to like?

Iron block.
 
an ls9 would be a joke in my tiny truck and i can't afford a $23k engine, let alone all the work it would take to get the power to the ground

there's an 07 TBSS in the local yard with 57k on it, complete engine, trans, transfer case and all accessories for $6k... Hmmmmmmmmmmm
