Project Casper

[George C]

This is my 2010 Crewcab, Wife named this truck when we first got it. Its has served a few purposes over the years.
Truck started off as your average daily driver and as youll see in pics transformed, for about 18 months truck was a heads cam Procharged 5.3 on 12 psi...I made 540/545 to wheels.. Blower was over spun and It was loosing boost in higher rpms. The headunit was a P1sc with a 3.2 pulley, compression combo was around 10.2....combo ran 12.5@113 stock converter with stock 342 gears

It was a fun combo and enjoyed it but the procharger ended up eating itself from being overspun and towing, this go around I chose the route of my roots which is turbo.

So sit back and enjoy the build

heres a few pics of how truck currently looks

truck for suspension is 3" worth of lift up front, firestone airbags out back, 3/4 ton leaf springs, GMT800 lift blocks, rides on GM accessory wheels 20x9 with 35x12x20 rubber

Last winter I broke my 2nd 10 bolt so i ditched that setup and went with a GM 14 bolt,Tru-trac, tossed in 488s and used a TA girdle

Since im about trying to keep things clean I chose to install my Meth controller in a little pocket in my dash, since this pic was taken the knob is now black

[PaxtonShelby]

That just looks mean.

[George C]

Thanks bud, hopefully by monday can bring truck inside and start building rest of setup

[black 94]

Hot side looks good man u do some nice work. A 6.2 otta be nasty with that turbo on it. That's gunna make one hell of a daily/tow rig lol. What kinda power u expecting to make with this one?

[George C]

Ill be limited to trans and fuel pump..probably in spring or summer im gonna do a dual pump setup then see how far this trans goes...should easily make 800-900rwhp with this turbo but probably gate it for 10 psi which should make 675-725 rwhp

[PaxtonShelby]

Love how your DD and Dak's DD are so similar.

[George C]

Love how your DD and Dak's DD are so similar.

Who? And what does he have

Well that will Def make for one fun and bad ass street machine. Looks good!

[George C]

For anyone that has been around a GMT800 truck and a GMT900 truck youll come to see theres a difference in the oil pressure between the two trucks, Gm thought it was a bright idea to swap in a pressure bypass to help keep oil pressure low. This has to be the dumbest thing around but with a DOD motor you need that control so since my truck is no longer DOD Ive removed the bypass and installed a plug

[George C]

Well that will Def make for one fun and bad ass street machine. Looks good!

thanks, yea its not hard to make big power with a LS motor and with the mods I did to motor with correct turbo it would easily make 1000-1050 without breaking a sweat but dont care to turn this truck into a project

with high 6s low 7s I shouldnt have to worry about trucks on the highways, when it was a procharged truck at 500 tune I didnt have to worry then...this will be icing on cake for those coal rollers

[black 94]

Haha haha I personally love seeing a gas truck spanking on a disel. Usually unexpected which makes it even funnier. Is there any chance u could take 2 measurements off that turbo at the widest and tallest parts? That's theexact turbo I'm thinking about upgrading to and would like to see if I can fit it. Can't seem to find any exact measurements on the net.

[George C]

roughly 9.5" wide
roughly 9.5" tall
roughly 11" long
around 50lbs

[black 94]

Thanks man appreciate it.

[sutyak]

Looks great. Aluminized pipe for the 4" downpipe?
What kind of TIG do you have?

[George C]

Lincoln squarewave 175
Yes aluminumized for full exhaust

[PaxtonShelby]

Is your garage that small that the door is a few inches from your bumper? Or did you have the truck pushed back to have more work room up front?

[George C]

Truck is pushed back to work up front, i have a wall of toolboxes up front that serves as work bench...take all that into account the length of this truck and a typical 26x26 garage

[George C]

This is what i have to work with, i gave up the building i had 5 years ago when we bought our house

[somethingclever]

metal band saw FTW

[PaxtonShelby]

Nice looking space there. Figured you wouldn't have an 18' garage with all the work you do in there.

[Dan B.]

I need George to build me a good set of headers for the Ranger. And solve my hot start issue..........

[George C]

Turbo blanket from Thermal Zero showed up
They are made here in the USA over in Cincinnati Ohio..for 139 shipped you get the blanket and 100' of exhaust wrap along with all the ties required
With this massive blanket i shouldnt have heat issues

thanks even thou its very small at times and wish i had more space. Id buy a few metal brakes to help in fab work... Even thou my group of haters talk shit about me doing work out of a house garage but those same haters dont even have a house of their own

[George C]

I need George to build me a good set of headers for the Ranger. And solve my hot start issue..........

[Fast Gypsy]

Did someone donate the "Ford Racing Banner" for your garage ?

[George C]

Why do you say that

[Fast Gypsy]

Most GM and Ford guys don't like to mix brands. I have a foot in both GM and Ford camps and I assumed you were all GM. Just a thoughtless comment!

[George C]

Ppl think im GM but ive owned both and currently own both


Both compaines have good points both have very shitty parts...you gotta take the best of each and look past the bad

[sutyak]

I'm curious why you used a BW on this build and Precision on the other?

[George C]

Precision for power

BW for towing

[George C]

Hydroboost conversion completed on a 1500
Had to use a 3/4 master that accepted 15mm nuts
Not all gm master cylinders use 15mm some are 13mm, regardless of 1500 or 2500 chassis
Only needed to merge 1 line for this conversion
With the 3/4 master i should now have much better control over my 4 wheel disks

[Dan B.]

I've always thought my 4 wheel disks on my F150 felt softer than they should be. Will this improve the clamping and pedal feel?

[George C]

Its possible but i cant be certain...my truck didnt come with my current brakes

I robbed cocaine of its dual piston rear calipers and my brakes always were soft especially from the cam...this now should fix that

Any concern with that front cooler heating up your intercooler?

[George C]

Not enough worry for use of truck and truck has meth

[sutyak]

Not enough worry for use of truck and truck has meth

Ah I do love wmi. Great watching the temps drop in boost instead of rise! Build is looking great.

[George C]

I dont mess with any water mixture but meth is a great source but may do e85 spray as main

I tried it a few times towing and saw gains and easier to get then me going to mars to fill my 55gallon drum of meth

[2001GTTT]

that is unbelievable. awesome work.

[Dan B.]

Takes me longer for an oil change.

[George C]

and im about to change oil for the first time here in few minutes

[PaxtonShelby]

Wish you'd stop F'n around and build something already...

[George C]

first fire up for a full 4" exhaust its real quiet considering it does have a cam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FruOJxXzVZM&feature=youtu.be

[somethingclever]

that is ridic.


I couldn't put an on3 kit on SBF in a foxbody that fast.

[sutyak]

Excellent. I have a feeling it gets a tad louder at WOT.

[George C]

update on setup: I drove it down to the scales curious as to what it weighs now, with a full tank of fuel and no driver it came in at 5860 {9.5sf 14bolt, 3/4ton leafs, 35x12x20s, aluminum motor, turbo kit and full 4" exhaust}

http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/Quik611/Casper%2010%20boosted%20crew/weight_zps0bcdvzv7.jpg (http://s948.photobucket.com/user/Quik611/media/Casper%2010%20boosted%20crew/weight_zps0bcdvzv7.jpg.html)

ive logged about 60 miles so far on this truck in last 4 hours, heres what Ive found out. 10lb spring equals 7 psi, with 11* timing the Pcm is calculating right around 540/540 to wheels after deducting drivetrain loss... To reference my old combo made 540/545 on 12 psi and 18* using a 10pgh meth nozzle.

as for spool i can say depending on load ive heard the turbo make its unique sound by 1600-1700 rpms, Ive saw full spool by 3400 rpms. Boost is rock steady on this combo and is night and day different vs the old combo. Driving off boost is so much nicer

did some more calculations and seems as my compression is little higher then 10.8 and more around 11.1, with how its acting now I may just leave it at this power level and enjoy it. I was happy before and now making similar power with even less boost and less timing on 93 alone....The old combo when I was daily driving it only had 12* timing in it on 12 psi

[Aeroking]

arent CAT scales only accurate to 50lbs on anything under 10,000lbs?

i always wondered this

[somethingclever]

arent CAT scales only accurate to 50lbs on anything under 10,000lbs?

i always wondered this


probably - things tend to loose resolution under 10% if they are rated to 100,000lbs!!

[George C]

Picked up a set of long bars from Alligator performance, not a bad product.. I chose to weld the front mounts to the frame. On my style frame you dont have access to be able to bolt them up. With this setup the only true welding required is the rear tabs to the U bolt saddles

[George C]

ive logged little over 300 miles in 2 days of driving this truck. During that time with mixed driving the truck has averaged 15mpg

this may not seem like alot to some but ever since i lifted this truck and put these 110lb each whee/tire combo it has gotten shitty mpg. Im seeing better mpg then I did with the 5.3 and procharger

this is also with 4.88 gears

[somethingclever]

That is about 3 mpg better than I would expect.

[PaxtonShelby]

Amazing mpg - big heavy truck with all that power.

[Terminated]

God damn dude, you must never sleep.

[George C]

Towed with this truck yesterday, pulled my enclosed with cocaine in it. Hands down out performed the blower setup. Truck held gears better, i never had to go over 3500 rpms..I was in full control of boost and kept it around 4 -5 psi by use of my foot. With this amount of load turbo lit was full tilt by 2100rpms..Power off boost made huge difference. Truck wasnt working hard what so ever.
Little over 14,000lbs combined weight... Round trip little over 100 miles

[PaxtonShelby]

Hope the Feds don't read that last post or they'll be knocking at your door.

[George C]

14,000 for truck and trailer isnt that bad

[Dan B.]

That's awesome. Good work!! Seriously jealous of your skills.

[PaxtonShelby]

14,000 for truck and trailer isnt that bad

Just meant that's a lot of cocaine...bad joke....sorry

[George C]

Little update on this project...the 6.2 had assembly issues so was issued a full refund. So i decided to go ahead and have a 402 built
Callies compstar rods
Callies compstar crank
Wiseco pistons
Iron block
Coated bearings

Same cam as before 224/224 578/578 114

Block was professionallly painted using ppg basecoat clearcoat

[George C]

Picked up a new set of trickflow as cast 220s for ls2 bore
Also chose to use a ATi super dampener, cloyes double roller timing chain and Slp oil pump


This combo will be around 9.9cr

[George C]

With the short amount i drove it over winter things got ugly from weather...so for this time around i went ahead and had things powdetcoated and jet hot

[George C]

With having a twin scroll housing on a open manifold i went ahead ported and knife edge the housing prior to coating

[George C]

Had the coil brackets and covers powdercoated
Also picked up stainless allen headed hardware to go along with that clean look

[rrjjpp74]

Looking good George! Ever get a pass down the track with the other truck yet?

[George C]

Other truck i tore apart....sold turbo kit, sold trans, sold rear, sold caltracs

[rrjjpp74]

Other truck i tore apart....sold turbo kit, sold trans, sold rear, sold caltracs


Wow didn't know it was back apart . I thought it was back together and running fine.

[George C]

Yea got good money for stuff i sold...different plans for truck so sold off what i wasnt gonna use.. Had buyers at the right time for everything mentioned

[George C]

Almost ready to come home

[George C]

Couple shots of the turbo on the motor prior to pick up

[John4cam]

Looks sweet! Sucks the other motor had issues.

[George C]

Its what it is...now got a badass motor and sadly this is a budget motor compared to my other 2 built ones

[George C]

Motor is home and snapped a few pics prior to being installed

[George C]

Picked up a set of Nfab sude steps and had AMF coat them..wife always had hard time getting into truck so broke down got a set of steps

[rrjjpp74]

Looking good, I had the NFab and they always started rusting around the welds. I sent them back got another set and same issue.

[George C]

There coating seemed shitty so why had local do them

[George C]

Got everything back together over weekend....some chanhes since last time...alot of powdercoat, jetthot for hotside, stainless hardware where possible and couple other little things


Time to work on tune some

[Ares]

Nice, almost like it came from factory like that :awsome:

[George C]

More i look at this setup i realize how clean and almost factory like it is as you said

[ebo 4356]

Looks good George, powder coat really sets it off.

[wick]

Coming along nicely.

[George C]

Looks good George, powder coat really sets it off.

Without having any kind of deadline i was able to do things i wanted before...its nice not being rushed

[George C]

Coming along nicely.

Thanks

[George C]

Got the catch can relocated to under the driverside of the cab..Wife always hated smell of vapors in the cab from being on pass side frame...with this location its still easy access to drain and routing of hoses are clean and hidden under intake cover then behind block

[George C]

Heres 1st fire up of new motor...its same cam as before and the extra cubes swallowed the cam making truck sound quiet

https://youtu.be/a6UVJUkoltA

[wick]

Like a silent killer.

[Terminated]

Sounds great. What's up with the Lightning?

[somethingclever]

quick work as usual!


what happened with the last engine?

[George C]

Sounds great. What's up with the Lightning?

I may pull that in come fall and start mock up

[George C]

quick work as usual!


what happened with the last engine?

Assembly issue from place i got it...was issued full refund

[George C]

Like a silent killer.

Not bad for 4" exhaust

[wick]

Not bad for 4" exhaust

No, not at all. Any muffler or you running straight pipe?
My truck is straight 4" and only sound it makes is the ear piercing whistle. I'm sure diesel and gas are different though.

[wick]

Not bad for 4" exhaust

Somehow made a duplicate post. No idea how.

[George C]

Originally had just an ultraflo but was raspy when haf blower setup....tossed on a flowmaster 40 to help...then the turbo help quiet

[George C]

Swapped back to 342s while doing so had my girdle powdercoated silver....since driveshaft was I went ahead and did a quick polish of it

[Troll]

I knew it! Resident shaft polisher!

[Dan B.]

I knew it! Resident shaft polisher!

Now you don't feel alone.

[George C]

I knew it! Resident shaft polisher!

Envy you are....its ok your shaft isnt as large as mine

[sutyak]

That looks really good. I might need to polish my aluminum shaft.

[George C]

Nothing crazy...large buffer with wool cutting pad and some cutting compound.. I could go mirror finish but not reason to....you can see the shaft being truck is lifted...with it being out i figured why not

[George C]

Added a GMT1000 rear bumper & hitch
Had it powdercoated prior to install
