New here....

Im new here, dont have a Sy or Ty, I have a 94 full size with a 4.3 and was wondering where the turbo is mounted on your trucks and if I could use this exhaust peice to put a mild turbo onto mine.

thanks

Hi nick the problem is that your motor is not built to cope with a turbo so while its possible to fit one i dont think your motor would last long if you did.

Turbo is mounted on the passanger side towards the front of the engine. It will sit slightly higher than the passanger valve cover.

The bigger issue is the ECM and fueling/timing the motor (SyTy have a different harness, ECM and intake manifold, fuel railing) and building up the transmission to hold the new found power.

Yes it will all fit. There is a entire write up I did on fullthrottlev6.com located here:

I'm going to finish the turbo install part of that with supporting pictures. You use HPTuners to dial in the Fuel and timing. It's a great program. We've had our 98 Jimmy turbo charged for almost 20,000mi. We run 10psi on pump gas with a totally stock engine with 160,000mi on it.
I'll bet it runs high 13's being a 4dr 4wd moose. It's a blast to drive.

Steve you should get that manifold fixed or replaced. Nick by the time you spend the money to turbo your truck, while it would be nice, you will spend more money then if you just bought a Syclone or Typhoon. Just my :2cents: worth.

Pull the manifold off & replace it.

It broke my heart to park it again, but the Ty is in the garage while I work on pulling the manifold. Got another set getting cleaned up now. Oh, yeah. Nick, stock manifolds don't have that crack in it that mine currently does.

Put some headers on it while you are at it.

Are you sure your going to be the one pulling the manifold, not your wife
