Crazy person building truck?
Ok so i'm tryin to prove alot of people wrong i'm not looking for arguments right now i'm looking for some help so please i'm begging… I'm trying to build a 1998 chevy k1500 z71… Into something fuel efficient(yes crazy I know)… Oits a dd truck used regularly for hauling… Well i'm doing the exhaust suspension axles i'm sealing up alot of stuff for aerodynamics and what i'm trying to find is some forced induction units that I can put in without modifying the engine… And the only thing I can think of is those turbos on the ford ecoboosts… The tuning will be taken care of and yes the mods to make them actually go on will be taken care of but a question… Where can I buy the setup for the little ones that go on the f-150 ecoboost the whole setup as in the manifolds intercooler tubing everything… Then does anyone know where to find some good long tube headers for a chevy 5.7 vortec? Yes I know i'm crazy i'm stupid and if it doesn't work its my fault but i wanna try… So if someone could please help me out with links brands sales companies ect it would be greatly appreciated.
Thats a great idea, and after all, **** other' s people opinion, its your car, not their.
I don't think you can fit the turbo set up fron an eco boost, the reason being compresdor matching, i don't know if you did it, but if you didn't, then i'm okay to help you find the right turbo, just hit me up here

Gimmr the specs of the stock engine, what is your goal, and ill tell you what can be the best choice, i can help you with favrication, and increasing engine performance and efficience(ie milleage) by just simple free things…
Hit me up if interested
Try Doug Thorley headers, lotsa weird applications. Don't believe Ford manifolds will work, but have seen stock Chevy exhaust manifolds installed upside down for a turbo application. Most of other tubing will have to be fabbed and pieced together. Go for it, no such thing as crazy in custom work, only limiting factors are your imagination and wallet!
Sell your truck and buy a 6.2 or 6.5. A 6.2 would be your best for economy, especially with a Banks turbo.
But forced induction decreases mileage, not increase it. Whether turbo charger or supercharger, all they do is force more air into the manifold, and that requires more gas in order to keep the optimum explosive ratio.
The only reason why turbo or supercharging can improve mileage, is when you take a very light engine and give it the same hp as a very heavy engine. That is the only way forced induction can improve mileage.
For example, VW took a 1200 cc diesel engine that normally only had 40 hp and weighed 180 lbs, and used both turbo and supercharging to boost that up to 150 hp, as much as an engine weighing 500 lbs.
That allows VW TSI to then get 80 mpg, while still having decent power.
But you can only really get good forced induction gains with a diesel or something with direct combustion chamber injection, because if you inject in the manifold like most gasoline engines, then the fuel will be ignited by the compression alone, before the spark, and will shatter pistons. It is only with diesel engines that you really can get great hp increases through forced induction. The higher the compression, the more power for the same amount of fuel. But gasoline can't take high compression unless direct injection.
News Flash: Compare the compression ratio of the Ford echo-boost and your truck now.
You can't force induct a naturally aspirated engine. The compression ratio is too high. You'll smoke holes in the tops of the pistons if you do.
- Why is Ford Motor Company so racist they are canceling building a new factory in Mexico and chose to instead expand their plant in Michigan? By 700 jobs instead? What do these racists have against Mexicans? Is Ford Motor so racist they don't have any choice at all in the matter, they have to vote conservative? https://www.usatoday.com/...o6zLrdOeTk Cenj Uygur the Snarkster coming at you racist cons!
- Where do i start building my own Replica super cars? I have a list. I want the Lamborghini Murcielago SV Lamborghini Aventador SV Shelby GT350R Ford GT I don't want to buy kits. I want to MAKE the kits. How do i start? (I sculpt as a hobby) So i know how to sculpt. I've made several small sized sculpted cars. What i want to know is what type of material is used to make the body? I would prefer something cheap as hell. What type of material do those sellers make their kits of? Is it Carbon Fiber?
- Cadillac(GM) is building an ATS-V. What about you, Lincoln (F)? Planning on building a rival? I recommend building a 365-hp, 3.5L Ford Taurus SHO V6-powered, all-wheel-drive MKZ SVT to take on Cadillac's new 420-hp, rear-drive ATS-V. The ATS-V would also be a V6, but it's gonna be a 3.6. If the MKZ sells better in terms of monthly sales than the ATS the MKZ SVT should be it! Expect a mid-four-second 0-60-mph time, $55,000+ price tag, and good fuel economy (18+ mpg in the city, 24+ on the highway).
