No longer turbo S-10...
So, after finding out how hard it would be to build a motor for my 2.2 in my s10 to run more boost, I decided to swap it out. My original plan was a ecotec swap and boost to 500hp, had the engine and all but decided to go v8 at the last minute. So got a 06 5.3 with 40k miles, and got it slapped in there. I used Current Performance Wiring for most of the conversion parts, the incore radiator/fan/ac condesnor setup, the high mount a/c compressor, engine mounts, H3 oil pan, shorty ceramic coated headers and wiring harness and computer. Everything works just like factory, a/c, heat, cruise, p/s. You can't even tell inside the truck whats under the hood. My goal is still 500whp, so I will be tossing a kenne bell on top of it pretty soon. I just got the exhaust done yesterday, y-pipe to a magnaflow. I still got to get it tuned and dyno'd, hopefully next weekend. I got a custom comp cam in it, its more setup for the coming s/c then n/a, but still gives it a great sound and its worlds better than the factory one. And i still got to make a air intake lol. Front suspension is next, it dropped my truck 3-4 inches, which gives it a awesome looking tuck but is way to low for my daily driving habits.
So some pictures, no beauty shots I still got to clean truck and take some completed ones now. I am running the 4l60e, I swapped from my 5 speed. Using a center console and shifter out of a oldsmobile bravada so don't mind the wood grain, going to have it recovered when I finish my interior. Clean done pics will be up here soon, then hopefully dyno numbers. I am shooting for 290-300whp tuned.
