A buddy of mine wants to turbo his 350 chevy truck. what could we do for fuel management? All this says is, "sized apporpriately". anybody help me?

 

damn...thats one fast Escalade!

 

they should do that with an H2. same chassis and engine. yeah yeah yeah so you own a 12-second escalade. but if you own a 12-second hummer......now that's mad blingin y0.

 

show and go!

 

I'm sorry but all those truck/suv's are ugly as sin. I cant stand them one bit....thats fast for a ugly truck but it's still horrible to look at.....they should have done it to a tahoe or yukon denali if they wanted a ''classier'' suv....

 

same thing that you would do for any other engine....hondata..j/k
you would have to use a boost dependent fpr and some timing control device such as the msd btm...... baically the vortec kit minus the sc and add the turbo

 

thats what i thought...what about the MAF sensor though? wouldnt that throw some codes? Sorry, im non-honda wetodd-did...
its a 92 ish...throttle body injection

 

good question. look into the turbo kits for the focus because they have a maf sensor don't they? see what they do to overcome the sensor. you may have to route the bov back onto the intake because that air has already been accounted for......many different options like switching over to full fuel injection with fuel rails and 8 injectors (wouldn't be to hard) instead of the tbi. thats probably what i would do......you could probably use all the hardware from a newer fuel injected engine. See what years the intake manifolds are swappable (look in summit's magazine) most parts are made for say 350's from 88- 96 or 74-87 etc.....then see when they switched from tbi to fuel rails and individual injectors they probably did it on a overlapping year (like honda's swapping out the tbi in the 4th gen civic for the 4 injectors of the 5th gen) easily done.......then you have just simplified the whole turbo process.

 

ill pimp it.

 

I'd be selling it too....maybe they came to grip with reality

 

how you can you say a denali or a tahoe is classier than an escalade is beyond me............................. i think its bad as hell

 

Yeah I bet they realized that they should invest their money in a Honda which runs

I can't believe you guys who say that that is a piece of ****...or not "classy." How can you consider a Cadillac not classy....nevertheless one that runs 12 second 1/4 mile times.

 

I don't recall EVER saying that it was slow so go ahead and retract that comment that is totally Irrelevant.

Since you cant read very well try reading what i posted and think about if for a second..........(would you like me to wait while you think? )........

The classy comment has nothing to do with the cadillac.........I recall saying that they should have used a tahoe or if they wanted something more classy a ukon denali (you see the ukon denali is the same as a tahoe but is made by gmc (which is the same as chevy) and comes with more luxury trimmings)....more of a status symble to say you own a denali then a tahoe ......


so got anything else to point out that has nothing to do with anything i ACTUALLY said? if so please feel to post...make sure you read what i said first...

 

denali classier then tahoe
this caddy is ugly

 

HOW??? The Cadillac is one of the classiest symbols out there. A GMC Denali is classier than a tahoe, but the Cadillac is still classier than any other GM truck.

 

I'll give you 2 for that one.
I'm NOT compairing the the caddy to the tahoe or denali in the sense of class. The caddy will win when it comes to class because obvioulsy it's a caddy.....Looks is a who new ball game..

so comapring class it goes like this
Caddy........denali........tahoe....

looks and style (IMO)
denali.............tahoe.......................... .....


.................900 million other vehicles.......................................... .................................................. .................................................. ..................................This caddy.......(not the regular escalade but this truck/suv version)....

 

OK, I understand you now. I thought you were comparing the Escalade to the Tahoe and Denali....sorry about the confusion.

 

no problem man....i did word it strange at first..

 

PM me - piece of cake on GM fuel management - its not half as dinky as hondas LOL
