 Subject: 4.7 Turbo Kit: Survey, Info, & Input
IP: Logged
Message:
I will cross-post this in the "general, performance, and v8 boards" to make sure the info is available to all who might like to know.
The short of it: I am going to be the prototype for development of a turbo kit for the 4.7L engine. One of my autoxing friends, who owns a speed shop called "Idaho Speed Center", has made me a proposition to develop a turbo kit for the 4.7 he will market.
So, we'd be interested in some feedback. Idaho Speed Center does a lot of performance work, metal fabrication, welding, suspension, chassis, drivetrain, fuel, exhaust, etc, etc on a full range of vehicles.
We had my truck on the hoist today and we're starting to develop the plan of attack so to speak. I asked him about a timeline and he said whenever I'm ready to commit they'll start tearing into my truck.
Our thinking goes along the lines of offering two kits. Both of which will be designed to work with the factory PCM since options there are pretty much limited.
The kits he would like to offer are summed up as follows:
Kit1: Single turbo, non-intercooled, 5-6psi
Kit2: Single turbo, air to air intercooled, 7-9psi
Option1: We're exploring the possibility of having the complete exhaust system as an additional option. (Both kits by default would include all plumbing/pipes down to the main catalyst.)
Both kits would be sold with all necessary parts, pieces, instructions, sims, etc. We will be doing dyno runs before and after on an otherwise completely stock 4.7. We are considering using either a T04R or GT25 turbo.
Both kits would be sold as "off-road only" kits. The intercooled version will more than likely require a bit more work on the consumers end since the only way to get one in there that will provide proper cooling will be to relocate the radiator/condensor back. However, we will include any brackets, fittings, hoses, etc as required. In order to relocate the condensor, the AC system will have to be evacuated.
Anyway, that's where the project stands and we'd like feedback from any potential customers.
Any thoughts, opinions, etc would be appreciated, as well as what you expect to pay for either kit and if you would be interested in one.
For anyone who is interested, my email is idboi@earthlink.net
Thanks,
Jason aka IdahoRT

good luck in your quest for power.

It's available right now on e-bay from the same exact people. Idaho speed shop. Just look up 4.7L turbo and it wil appear on the bottom.
I've heard some questionable things about them but the kit looks sound and is supposed to produce 376 rwhp. VERY expensive though.
