[image]http://s-seriesforum.com/forum/images/smilies/ffc.gif[/image] Anyhow.. here's the pic's from today. Love the Marine intake baby! I Epoxy'd the steel upper to the allum. throttle body.. has not moved since I put it on there 6000mi ago. I painted all the pipes... cleaned up some of the wireing and put a second thin O-ring on the injectors to seal them up. If you use a newer thin injector it should not be a problem.. they just put big holes in these Marine intakes. Getting closer on the Final tune. HPTuners is the way to go with these guys... No kidding. 10PSI here with No issues. No knock Doing great.

More pics + how to are now required [:D] Rear mount turbo isn't really an option for me, since I play in the mud... and I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be very happy being body panel deep in the mud [:D]

It's fairly labor intensive.. but the parts shouln't cost that much. Never Ever buy a FMU to fuel one of these engines. I'm not going to rant on about that but a FMU should never be used to fuel a engine PERIOD. I'd put a piggy back system on before I'd use one of those steaming piles. Ok.. rant finished.[8\|] You'll need: Sy/Ty stock exhaust Manifolds Stock Sy/Ty style turbo/downpipe Marine Intake Manifold (e-bay) 400.00 ish. 30lb/hr injectors or larger. HPTuners. I have a file setup for 10psi Some 2.5" mandrel bends (steel) E-bay Intercooler Moroso 2-part epoxy to affix a bonnet to the Throttle body. Or have a flange welded on ... A guy on another site said that a LS1 throttle body is the same size but has a nice long snout on it that you could attatch a bonnet to with out welding! You'd need to transfer the shaft from the 4.3L to keep the same throttle apendages. Cut/weld pipes so it's arranged in a flowing fashon.. like mine or not..up to you. You'll need to plum the oil feed off the drivers side oil pressure feed line (above oil filter housing) You'll need 5feet of -4 AN hose and fittings. There's a fitting you can put where your oil level sensor is for the oil return. (Guy's with 3.8L F-bodys do it with no problems) I've not tried it yet. I put mine in the hard way... took off pan.. ect. Coolant feed to-turbo/from turbo. Relocate MAF Pre-turbo. Put IAT sensor into incoming pipe (after turbo/IC) Tuning.... Tuning... That's what is going to make or break these setups. If it's not tuned right or skimp on fueling it correctly/timing/settings you'll be looking at a yard orniment with a blown engine. 4.3L don't take detonation well. It wipes the mains right out of them. 3.8L buicks are more forgiving and just blow head gaskets. We've got too much clamping force on our 4.3L head to blow them out. I've got a entire set of pictures I can send you if you contact my e-mail. Hope that helps,[:D] Scott~ UR50SLO@aol.com

Psychropod -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 8:03:37 AM)
Scott, You should just create an album right here. That way you don't have to worry about answering email requests for pix. Just a thought.

UR50SLO -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 10:40:59 AM)
Umm... never done that... Guess I'll have to spend some time learning.. I don't mind answering e-mails...everyone has a different question and normaly needs to be answered differently. I'll look into it. Thanks, Scott~

drperry -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 2:02:04 PM)
Anybody know what the stock fuel injectors flow rate is? [:D]

UR50SLO -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 2:04:51 PM)
The stock Injector flow rate for the 4.3L spider injectors and the V8 Engines are 23.1LB/HR.

drperry -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 2:18:21 PM)
I don't have a spider...

UR50SLO -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 2:31:20 PM)
What year are we talking about? Old TBI stuff or newer Vortec Blazer/Jimmy? All the newer Vortec Injectors are 23.1lb/hr I call it a spider injector.. Might be a slang term your not usto. ~Scott

drperry -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 2:41:31 PM)
Could be, lol, it's a 2005. You should check out http://photobucket.com/ for making a dedicated album, so the pics don't go down... Or use the forums built in image hosting for it, so the pics are always there [:D]

They are lower static flow rate than the injector/poppet nozzle setup used in the '96 thru mid-'02 SCFI motors. quote: ORIGINAL: drperry I don't have a spider... Yes you do!

drperry -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 3:19:12 PM)
I stand corrected [:D] It just didn't show up in the GM Parts Direct catalogue, lol.

UR50SLO -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 3:51:16 PM)
Ours is a 98 and in the ECM perameters they are labled 23.1 Lb/hr. I've not scanned anything newer than our 98. I'll soon be doing the same turbo conversion on a 01 Blazer for a friend of mine. If they went even smaller than the 23.1's Eesh... The entire fuel system design sucks. Did you know you can put a Buick GN (Grand National 255lr/hr pump) in our sending unit's? they are only 99.00 and since it's a Warbro pump it'll be the last on you put in. I put one in our tank when I turbo'd it. I've got my buddy's here now. Alot cheaper than a autozone/advance pump and it'll be the last time you pull the tank out. ~Scott

swartlkk -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 4:26:37 PM)
Yeah, the MFI spiders are even lower. But you won't have to contend with that unless it's an '02+ and not all '02s got the MFI spider. Bad part is you have to pull the plenun on the '02s to find out... If you see wires going to the end of the nylon lines, its an MFI spider. Since you will already be upgrading to the Marine intake, sell the spider to someone else. It is a good update for the often problematic poppet nozzle setup. Now, did you happen to get any pics of the fuel pump disassembled from the sender on your '98? I thought the plastic senders were pretty well sealed up... EDIT - I am watching "How It's Made" on Discovery right now. They just put together a fuel pump assembly. I knew how the pump worked (I am a hydraulic designer after all), but I had never taken one apart before. Kinda neat to see how they go together and I can see exactly how the fail. It was an older style metal sending unit, not like the plastic ones the newer s-series trucks have.

UR50SLO -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/27/2008 4:46:21 PM)
I'll take pictures in the morning of old/new and a description of "how-to" It's a streight forward swap. Pump is same basic size. I'll make a documentary in the AM... I love all the Discovery shows! Good info.. I've not seen the pump one yet..too bad I'm at my shop in the booth painting parts [X(] In the AM fellas. ~Scott

drperry -> RE: 98 Jimmy Turbo using Typhoon parts: (2/28/2008 2:24:13 AM)
Out of curiosity, how would plugging the return line on the fuel system hurt the pump? The Wynnjammer (sp?) supercharger kit does that to raise the fuel pressure up...
