Install TURBO CHARGER

[2 Door Collecter]

I've been thinking about installing a tubocharger into one of my tahoes. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before, and if so, how difficult is it to install?

I know judging "difficult" is relative, so, my skills range from installing control arms to replacing spindles to removing and cleaning my fuel injectors, intermediate things of that nature.

That being said, do I have any chance of buying one of these systems and installing it on my own without big-time hassle?

You didn’t mention what kind of money you were willing to spend?

It all depends what you choose to make the mod’s. Turbochargers come in many sizes. You would need to find the exact size that would work with your displacement.

The OBD-2 is not the best ECM for Forced induction. An aftermarket ECM would be best for maximizing performance.

There is also the issue of getting the engine itself ready for the extra abuse. Normally a forged crank and beefed up rods and pistons are in order. You want to be around 8:1 compression to make room for the extra air. Plus a new set of heads is a good idea.

Cam shafts are also important to take advantage of the turbos.

Then there is the issue of the trans being able to take it. It doesn’t take much to exceed the capablilties of the 4L60e trans.

If your looking for a “turn key” set up, Nelson Racing is a good place to blow a lot of $. If you want a kit you can intall yourself, Banks Engineering makes a great kit for both diesels and gas engines.
