Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
I'm wanting to boost my 5.3 as well. I'll be watching this. If you get anywhere near 15 lbs, that truck will haul nuts.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Not a hole lot has happened. I did get a car harness in a trade i will use for this. So i will now use a ls1/6 intake. That helps with finding injectors and fuel rails that can handle the fuel i will be flowing. Almost have the money for the manifolds too!

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
How much fuel are you planning to flow? Mine ran pretty good with a single Bosch0411, single -6 feed, 60 lb/hr siemens, and a STOCK truck fuel rail.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Not really. I did get a harness and ECM that has been reworked for a ls1 type intake. TRYING to save up for the cast turbo manifold I want. That is all.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Well kinda a progress update. Sold the turbo. Work is slow right now. Almost had the money for the turbo manifold and had to spend money on a unexpected large bill. So we are going to get the truck running and driving and then deside if we still want the turbo or not. So the truck should be on the road faster. Need intake and fuel system. What are people using for headers now?

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Schoenfeld headers for LS1 swap for 89-98 trucks. Lots of people say they fit just right.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Ordered a ls1 intake and throttle body and maf sensor. Need to find some stock ls1 type injectors cheap.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
I found injectors tps iac and pulley relocation kit to put car in take on a truck motor. And a maf. Looks like all I need is air filter and pipes. And fuel and exhaust. I have 5 different boxes coming to me. I should lay off the ordering stuff for a while.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
I get injector connectors at the local boneyard. Pretty much any GM EFI car from the 90s/2000s have them.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
like he said the late 90's early 2000's stuff should have it, and you can check the F*rds there as well; the connector is not proprietary to the brand.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
I got my dirtydingo idler relocation kit today. I trimmed the bracket way down and bolted it on. Works prety nice. But my throttle body still hits the water pump hose connection. I have heard new truck water pumps will work with ls1 intake. I looked at wifes water pump on her 08 and it LOOKS like it will work. My suburban needs a water pump anyways so I am gonna get one for hers and put the old style on my burb and the new one on this truck. I would not want to do the grinding i did with out air tools. It took a while with them could not imagine doing it without them.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Slow day at work today so i stayed home. Busted out the wire wheel and went to town. The motor looks 100% better. Now the ls1 intake will actually look good on it.
