Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

LOL, thanks Jim ! I guess a few are watching just not much interaction, probably my fault I just don't have the time to be on here as much lately checking out all the other builds.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Subscribed. Amazing build!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

This place is going to blow up during assembly Mike. And that motor will for sure get a little attention. You're innovating, not following. It's cool as hell.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike

She is looking really good. I like your idea for the hood to help with air flow.
Keep it up!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks man !
I appreciate that ! I cant wait to see it start coming together !
I want to make sure she stays cool !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Unbelievable, that will be a killer truck, love the detail, wheels, motor etc etc etc.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

if it still gets hotter than normal you could have someone punch louvres intoo the hood near the windshield (i know i know you just have the valance smoothed and now you might need to punch more intoo them again)
that should create a bit more flow through the enginebay
maibe you can make a airgap between the valance and the windshield and hide the wipers under it as whell , should do the same thing but isnt as obvious

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I'm not sure how I missed this build, Mike. You may want to add it to your signature for those looking at your other builds.

I'm back following it now though. Wow!! This thing is going to be awesome!!! It was nice getting to run through all 36 pages in one day. Made the build go really fast. Haha! Now, your challenge is to do at least 2 pages a day....And go!!!!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

That's a cool mod for the roof. Makes you wonder why GM didn't do that in the first place. The bed is looking good too.

With 36 pages on this thread, and just getting to primer stages, I'd say you have quite a few people commenting. Maybe not quite like cloud9 or square peg, but still a lot more traffic than most threads. Also, with everyone posting more to instagram lately, I'm thinking the forum doesn't get as much traffic as it used to. Definitely not as much posting of pics happening lately.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

BoooooYaaaa!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I think I have said it before but I love the wheels! and although its lacking turbos, its still a awesome build! I cant wait to see it in Nov.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

wouldve gone for turbo's too
there quieter because the exhaust passes through them before the mufflers and not so hard on engineparts (cranksnout and bearings)
the show and shine part of a compressormotor is awesome though and the screaming broooooap--brop-brop----brop sound of a compressormotor makes the truck get noticed as mush as trying to immitate tarzan swinging trough the trees with his cloth on fire in the middle of a classic pianoconcert for sure
motorheads want to take a peek under the hood of the truck
since youre showing off / trying to sell youre innerfenders that engine is a good choice in youre case

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

LOL..thanks man !
hmmm...
LOL, I need to figure out how to add it ! I have technical difficulties !
True, true ! Thanks for following alon !
LOL, Thanks Del !
Thanks man, I am pretty stoked about the wheels and the Magnuson....shes still got forced air ! LOL
You know really it ended up being about "looks" for me, I couldn't build the clean uncluttered engine compartments that I like if I added the turbos . I think the Magnuson and MAST motorsports combo followed up by the TCI 4L80e and the Currie 9 inch pushing about 800hp will do everything I want I to do, PLUS A LOT MORE !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Very nice build, I see you are from Siloam Springs I went to school there.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

i'm trying to get 600 hp from my setup (4.0 inline 6 jaguar 24 valve with a turbo) i might be able to get more but i think thats about the max i could use on the street have an impressive accelleration and keep everything behind the engine from tearing apart without trowing major bucks intoo making it bulletproof (jaguar XJR version of the 4L80E and a "stock" truck version of a ford 9 inch)
i prolly still be changing parts and lowering the boost up to the point where stuff stops breaking

you can make a turbosetup look clean in a truck......i'm going to go that route
you wouldnt see mush of the turbo('s) wish on a show car kindah defeats the purpose
the engine i have will go intoo a 1978 c10 and the turbo will go right behind the cab under the bedfloor or under the cab in the fueltank hump
i will have the charge piping going intoo the intake from below
and have regulair exhaust system showing under the hood , a 3 intoo 2 intoo one and then a 45 degree turn round to regtangle merge intoo the turbo
the wastegate be sitting there too sticking straight out the 45 degree bend going around the turbo intoo the rest of the exhaust

on a v8 you would use a carb style intake with injectors a big 4 hole trottlebody and a big aircleaner you could hide most of the plumbing under there

the only extra stuff you will need with a midmount setup is longer oillines to the turbo and a scavengepump to get the turbo oil back intoo the engine wish can put the oil intoo one of the valvecovers breatherholes

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

we are all still here and watching :hiya: you're doing such a damn fine job I guess we don't figure you need much advice. But with the hours you're putting in on this beast I think we can all agree a little encouragement might be nice now and then :five: so keep on rockin it!
and for those that want even more pics check him out on instagram, he posts a lot over there too. come to think of it. how the heck does he get any work done with all this posting? :lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

small world, what year did you graduate ?
Great ideas
LOL, luckily my day job 6 days a week 10 hours a day is car sales so I have a lot of free time at my desk ! Thanks Man !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Let me introduce you to Frankenstand ! I wanted a stand that I could completely assemble my motor and trans on and paint it all together. I found this old cart sticking out of a top of a dumpster last Sunday and cut it up and made it into this. I still need to add 2 gussets to the trans support and then she will be ready for my real MAST Motorsports engine and TCI Transmission !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

so you can still make this intoo a flatpack ?
i wanted to make an engine teststand (to run the engine and trans on)
going to use a engine stand i bought a while back and never used
http://agrisupply.cachefly.net/images/l/60842.jpg
and planned to adapt it with the same type of engine trans suport you made
i hope i can keep it foldable as i whont be using the stand mush after im done with this engine

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Very nice stand.. Have any extras ;) lol. I'm looking to make something like that too. Looks good, keep up the good work

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Frankenstand...:metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I know shes a little ugly but I dig it ! LOL, maybe I should give her a little coat of walmart rattle can !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Just another addition to slosh tubz! Better patent it quick!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

hey watever works and it was practicly free too

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Dumpster engineering..... My sort of design and thinking.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

LOL !
Exactly !
Yes sir ! Poor men have Poor ways ! LOL

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I went to Street Driven Customs last night to check on the bodywork and gap progress, and to test fit a new door seal that Precision is working on (you guys are going to love it ,Precision rocks)

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I love the way the roof extensions came out

Got that MAST Motorsports 408 cu engine and Black Label LS7 heads mounted up on the engine stand and then bolted on that TCI 4l80e, and I just had to set on that Magnuson Supercharger ! Now to get it all prepped for paint along with the Wegner Motorsports front drive system !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Man that is looking awesome, the motor is gonna scream!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

All I can say is "WOW"! Nice, man!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

prolly be a dream forever but i would like to see a rubberseal that actually closes up the gap aroun the door , streamlining it like with a modern car

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I go like the look of this blower. It sits forward on the engine like the top fuel blower. Looks fancy.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

CANT WAIT to drive it !
Thanks man !
That would be cool !
"im so fancy, you don't even know".......LOL

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

You sir have been listening to way to much of your kids music! :lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

What ......you thought those were song lyrics ??? LOL

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

You and everybody involved are hustling. Movin' fast along the path. Keep it up . Very Cool.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looking sweeeeet...Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Any idea how long before the new door seal is released? I was going to order some stuff from Precision but might hold off if they will be released soon.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Well I had about the worst weekend possible, Sunday I went to drop off my engine and trans for paint and find out that my friend Gary is having family problems and is closing his shop..... so now I have picked up my truck and I am frantically trying to nail down a shop to finish it ! Here is the current state
