BAM. I will get some better videos in the daylight. I was just out blowing off some steam and messing around with the gopro last night.

Just rolling into it a little.

Man that is pretty quite. I was expecting it to be louder. My 5.3 with a 70 on it was twice as loud. Might have to reconsider putting mufflers on mine now!

A 70 what? MM turbo, or 70 series flowmaster?

It gets a LOT more rowdy when the wastegate opens (dumped to atmosphere) but it's like that with the "full exhaust" I had on it too.

Looks like I have an admirer. I had to do a quadruple take when I saw this posted on Instagram. WTF.

Haha I sent that to you on IG. I had to double take it when I saw the wheels but knew the front end was a different color.

Got tiggy with it and fabbed up the charge pipe last night also. Dual 10 gph nozzles with progressive control thru the Megasquirt will keep the intake air nice and cool, even without an intercooler.

Been bouncing around to different tasks on the truck, to stay moving forward.

Hung the passenger side fender on, and put the inner fender in to determine turbo location.


Fabbed up a bracket to hang the turbo off the cylinder head and the PS exhaust manifold.




Started on some of the hotside plumbing. Didn't get too carried away, since I'm still waiting for some parts to show up in the mail.


Decided to call in the troops on Saturday. This thing has to make a 700 mile round trip on May 17. The clock is ticking.
My brother and father in law


My buddy Brent


My dad


My brother finished up the complete transmission and engine harness, as well as the fuse block. Talk about a clean setup...but it should be, since he designs wiring harnesses for a living.






Brent was a man on a mission building the turbo merge. Basically started from scratch and started hammering away to create a masterpiece.




Finished the brake connections


Also finished the steering




I'm kind of a fire extinguisher geek ever since my '69 almost burned to the ground in college. So, a HalGuard Halotron 1 fire extinguisher is mounted within easy reach

Big, strong magnets. Easy to remove with no tools to change fuses, etc.

It's the other way. Megasquirt to Dominator. It's because the megasquirt always ran like **** on my setup for some reason.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Some updates. Haven't done a whole lot to the truck but play with it. The warm winter weather lately has allowed me to go out and put some miles on it.

Had it to the dyno again last fall at my bud's shop. Made a lil more power again. Lol. Got the high power number for the day.






I also upgraded to the new Holley touch screen from the older version. Fabricated a new dash panel out of aluminum to house it as well.






Quick little rip on a 70 degree Feb day in IL.
