Nice...I can't wait to see your write ups. Maybe by then we'll have our how to section and you can put it in there.

That is going to be awesome!
Are you going to be doing anything in the block? or atleast a different upper intake plenum? I do not know if the stock plastic upper intake plenum can handle all that much pressure... From what I understand, the newer 4.3L (2004-05) have an all aluminum intake setup that still uses a compatible injection setup, but I have never seen one.
The reason why I ask about the bottom end is because I don't know how well an 9.5:1 compression ratio will take to higher boost levels. A set of lower compression pistons (8.5:1 to 9.0:1) would do much better under boost conditions.
Do you have some place already in mind to tune the PCM? Are you staying with the stock PCM or going with an aftermarket FMU with different injection system?
Sorry for the onslaught of questions, but I am very interested in your project! Good luck with it and keep us posted on the progress (with pics!)!!!

its actually gonna be an STS style turbo set-up. today im taking the whole front of the truck apart to get measurment it hard becasue i got a full time job, and school starts up in about two months. im having a hard time with turbo selection right now. im going sts because trtt turbos did a custom sts turbo on a blazer and @ 3.8 psi made 210whp and 270ft.lbs., that was on STOCK everything. NOthing else done to the truck.
i will be running methanol for some time with a vortech FMU and walbro intank fuel pump and AEM wideband. having a hard time deciding where to put the intercooled, either under the truck back next to the driveshaft with an e-fan on top, or on the front undereath the truck...... i will be running the piping under the the top of driver side fender its gonna be clsoe but i can fit a 3" pipe in there after soem measurments where taken. I am trying to do this so everyon can do a set-up like this. im on a budget, my money for this project is $1300 including turbo/intercooler/wastegate/oil pump and everything. looking for 300whp @ 10psi now which will be much safer and should put me around 400ft.lbs, then i will be throwing a 2800 to 3000 stall torque converter and an eaton posi with 3.73's and see if can hit low low low 13's. also gonna get a pcm for less base tune and then get a dynotune-
btw this is on stock bottom end/cam/valve train/ heads. i will have 1.6rr's put in but i really need some valve springs so i can run the rpms up higher- as for the bottom end a guy with a procharger set-up has hit 400whp and 400ft.lbs totally stock bottom end so i think my goals are very doable and not out of reach.
got to get back to removing the fenders  keep yall updated
o yeah- for the fuel injection i will converting a 2114 intake manifold to a mpfi set-up with 60lbs injectors on it so i can run as much boost as i want. but that far in the future as well as a 270ah custom grind cam, nice head work, cryo'd crank and new pistons.

Thats some awsome **** right there! Gotta love the boosted blazer. And damn that is pretty cheap for the hole set up, is this all from companies or do you have some connection on parts? Either way good luck and hope you get it purrin like a kitten!

no im using a used t3/t4 50-trim turbo- $250
intercooler / BOV / piping / couplers / fmu / fuel pump - EBAY :)
tial wastegate $200
doing everything myself is gonna be the big money saver-
getting a tune from hellsbent over on s10forum for a base tune then getting dyno tuned

nope sending my ecu out next weekend to hellsbent10 over on s10forum for a turbo base tune just to get it running. I will be running the FMU and methanol for tuning and an AEM WIDEBAND A/F guage. i will be running the intercooler between the frame rails under the truck with a small scoop welded on to it and might through a small e-fan on it.

the turbo is a T3/T4 from my friends 3SGTE build on his MR2- he made 406whp on it until he maxed it out. Since my goal is 320 to 330whp on boost it should be very good.
The turbo is a Garrett product, profesionally balanced, no shaft play, clipped, ported and spooled @ 2600 on his 2.0L 4cyl so i figure on my 4.3L is should SPOOL IMMEDIATLY which is a good thing. it still has a 1 year warranty on it so i think i got a good deal on it. paying $250 for it.
ordering 2.5" exhaust building kit maybe 2 of them, turbo xs 38mm wastegate, cartech fmu and walbro fuel pump tonight as well as GETTING all of my fluids changed to royal purple :) :)

Not that i know much about oils but my pops has worked at mac tools for almost 20 years and they had a hole station at one of there tool fairs testing all the different kinds of oils and Amsoil always came out on top for every category. Im pretty sure from what my mechanic says also you can go to there website and they have proof of how there oil is better than all the competitors. Just what i have heard and seen and thought mabye you might wanna take a look at it i have always used it and its a great product.

 Great to see someone putting a turbo on these instead of supercharger. There's so much more power available in a turbo. Good luck.
