Never open a junkyard LS, it lets the magic out - Matt Happel
+Jovani P. 😂😂 likely true! But it's a learning experience :)
lol, nah opening up the ring gaps is a good idea on that old dog. I forget, what year is the engine and how many miles?
Hahahaha 😂👌
+Boosted Lifestyle i love the shit outta my dewalt impact
Jovani P. Very true!
Dude I have the same exact engine in my Chevy avalanche. This is going to be perfect for me. I had givin up on the supra thing, when you told me how much it was costing. Now this is my cup of tea. I can do this to my 5.3 on a budget. I'll definitely be watching every video. Thank you
probably one of the most legit video on this topic ive seen in a while thanks
That awkward moment when your budget friendly street car build thing out performs your aggressive 3k manifold race car. Haha
+Zach Kuby ahahah its unfortunate
Boosted Lifestyle it's a problem I'd be OK with having.
@@Boostedlifestyle hilarious to think how far this engine and channel has come and all the things that have happened
Looks like fun. Cant wait to see it come together throughout the series
I remember when this video was uploaded . Cant believe it's been 2yrs already!
I like the channel and your humourous personality. im Canadian also and ive been following your BUDGET LS SWAP series. thumbs up , ive subbed
Super dope to see you doin this build bro planning on doing an ls swap on my 350z just pulled the vq
Been watching this on my tv lol. Subscribed for sure
really cool Bud !! love the home built projects !!
The NNBS intake is one of the best flowing intakes on the OEM market. they make a 4 bolts to 3 bolt adapter for the use of a cable throttle.
good first EP man, cant wait to see how this turns out.
That engine is a god lol I have it in my truck factory, GM calls it the L33. aluminum block with pressed in iron cylinder liners, LS6 (799 aka 243) heads, bigger cam, flat head pistons similar to the 4.8 which the iron 5.3 and 6.0 do not have and other goodies. only came 05-07 in extended cab SLE trim I believe and I’m not sure but I think it had to be 4x4. I know I’m late with this playlist but I cant wait to watch the whole build !
Sweet video cant wait to see more
Opening the engine let’s all the magic out. Now it will be a ticking time bomb
Yup, sure has been a ticking time bomb...
Great video man, thanks.
"The Best Investment you'll ever make is an Electric Impact Wrench", then @ 3:45 - It's obvious you were better off buying a Shop Vac instead.
Your spartan shield in the background was a flex
The iron 5.3 is the best. Almost 2000hp on stock block. Use the 799 heads
Lmao no one has made 2000 on a stock block
Iron is worse then what he has
Forgot to drain oil. Felt that!
Remount engine stand. Felt that too!
Awesome video!
Yeah dumb move 😂
Check out VSRacing for your turbo needs, chinese based but still decent quality. Do BTR platinum .660 lift springs with either the Elgin 228/230 cam or the LJMS Stage 2 turbo cam. A basic single turbo log manifold will do the trick for the hot side.
Bought a book lol. Great vids man keep them coming.
Love it man, the comments while you're working, the real world steps you take, well done!
Check the end gap on the crankshaft for forward and backward movement check the gap between the connecting rods on the side of the crank that is a few things you got to look at make sure you got this thing right would you get the Turbo from and how big is it
I enjoy this build. Dude is funny also
This popped back up on my feed. Man it's cool to go back and see this again. How far this maple syrup drinking hoser has come.
+1 on the impact wrench being the best investment...really wish i bought mine sooner
Dang, Brings back memories when I did my lifters and cam.
Just wanted to tank you for the post & info. Lost my Carrie (actually 2 years after I stumbled acrss this vid) and am looking to build a tribute car in her honor. She was always into those turbos and as she would call "Seeeuwer-sports" so my quest to honor her memory starts here
Some BTR springs, ls6 intake or used LSXR, truck mannifolds for the turbo setup. I'm not as up to date on my LS heads anymore, but some ported 243's could be had cheap too. I'm doing a budget 6.0 LQ9 build for my next project car, torn between turbo and procharged.
Oxygen Genetics put the 4.8 crank it and go turbo 👍🏻👍🏻
CZA4V I've wanted a peochsrged 408 for a long time, but I know turbo is the way to go.
799s are the same as 243s.
okieltr450 never paid much attention to castings, thanks for the clarification.
Should get new pistons unless you wanna run high boost and predetonate because the lq9 is a higher compression motor
What you have is an LH6 5.3 it’s just like the L33 the only difference is the heads the L33 has 243 heads and the LH6 has 799 heads. The 243 heads are your standard ls2 head and the 799s are ls6. They’re identical casting and flow numbers the only difference between the two is the 243 heads have sodium filled exhaust valves for rpm. The LH6 also had a little hotter of a Cam profile. I have the same motor and I paid 1000$ for mine and you don’t find them for less than a thousand usually so good deal man great motor for sure. Turbo Silverado for me coming soon same motor!!!!
+meat270 ohh shit! Thanks for the info man I'm greatful for it :) looks like I got a decent deal then :)
Whoah what are those?! Words that you hope you never hear a mechanic say.
These videos are the best Canadian export since Molson...
That engine sounds nice I was thinking to put it into my supra 😂
Thoughts on front wheel drive 5.3 for a rear wheel drive swap with turbo upgrade
Looking good man, makes me want to go out and work on mine!
+Steve Rooker only after you put the kids to bed though
Boosted Lifestyle yes that is why nothing gets done lol 😩
Nice buy. L33 is pretty much the best junkyard LS. If you need any parts or advice talk to John Bewley at LJMS.
Like they've already stated, sloppy mechanics should be your go to source. Matt is a true LS wizard. Plus he's giving hot rodding back to the budget minded, broke fool's like me. I've always been a Ford guy, since I could walk. But he has me wanting to build a boost lsx, shoved in a domestic shit box lol. It's changed my whole theory on what's required to go fast.
-.- I already found his Channel. However I'm pretty sure the guys I've been in contact with have taken the stock ls further
nice I'm interested in this LS build
liked and subscribed
"Chassis drive procharger"? Subscribed!
Have a 4.8, camming it then single turbo, blow or go, then go with a 5.3 built , and use the same turbo stuff
You know it's easier to turn those big engines on the stand by picking up the front end and turning it instead of using the bar in the back.
I'm more of a fan of the Coyote at the moment since I'm kinda bored with sbc's but damn is it cheap to cobble together an junkyard LS with a turbo and make big power, at least for a little while.
I'm picking up a Trailblazer with the same engine in it tomorrow
Go to sloppy mechanics. The guy made 1000 hp on all stock internals on a 6.0 liter. He has tons of vids of ls swaps
Jeremy Fink he did it with a 4.8 too.
Nick Larsen no he made 650ish on a 4.8
Jeremy Fink but they blow up when he actually tries to race them. The guys truck is broke more then it races lol.
OGskunkMASTA lol you're ignorant. His trucks always getting better. At least when he blows a head gasket it's fixed and boosting by the next day. He's got it on lock for sure
OGskunkMASTA he blows it up a lot because he is constantly testing with more boost with different injectors or blow off valves. Or heads
HELL YEAH BROTHER
I bet you can build that motor for quarter the price of that 2jz and make more power lol... #V8islife
Bryce Glover
Probably. High tech engines are expensive to mess with. The 2JZ does have a reputation for durability though. Then again, it should be strong, the damn thing has half the displacement and yet weighs as much or more than a V8.
177SCmaro I had a 2jz Lexus IS300 and didn’t change to oil for over 100 thousand miles and when the motor finally gave up it was at 300+ miles. Didn’t realize what I had it was my first car but inline motors are extremely reliable and can make 1000-2000 horses extremely reliably. Even when the motor so called ‘gave up’ it sounded like maybe just the lifters or maybe dropped a valve on one cylinder. Would still run but was weak and had a loud knock coming from the top end. Been trying my hardest to find another one
Big Meat
Cool story, bro.
Well yeah. Chevy parts are extremely universal and cheap.
Technology costs $$$. Using a newer, refined engine (LS) that's still based upon 80+ year-old engine design will save you money for sure.
I’d highly recommend to use cardboard to organize all bolts makes it so much easier to have them labeled and the position
Justin Frye Hell yea! Take a few photos as you go and put them in chronological order on a flash drive. Then, before you go to work on that particular component spend ten minutes flipping through the pictures. Don’t try to make sense of the images just look them over. After that go to town and marvel at the gift that is the human mind... God like, nothing short of devine and that is if you don’t have a mechanical aptitude. If you have a mechanical mind you will instantly start correlating and having all kinds of epiphanies about other applications, before you know it your fledgling CZcams channel has become a full-blown performance modification shop, if you’re not a lazy pud and have not been beaten down by some phone it in parent or berated with negativity by some crap fiancé with body image issues that would rather break you down when they could have been building you up with supportive words of affirmation, no reason you won’t be franchised all up and down the Eastern seaboard.
Sorry, I got off on a tangent. Humans realizing their potential makes me want to flex nuts crack a hole in the planet so we all have to reset our clocks.
Sloppy mechanics is all you need to watch .Especially the don't bs 4.8 build he just did a step by step showing everything to do and how and why
gsppuffer ! You Are So Right Sloppy Channel ! is The Best Matt Knows His Shit He Has it Going On When It Comes To The Ls Engines and Tune For Them For Big Power On a Cheap Builds !!!
gsppuffer Great man tell the whole world! That's why all the damn sloppy staged cams are sold out!!!!! Ughghgh 😭😭
🐁 in your motor
kool
That engine from a silverado z71? I know mine has an aluminum version in it not the iron.
I put 243 heads on my LS3. Don’t know if I can really tell a difference at all, but 243’s are a much better flowing factory head
reuse every bolt and gasket and the head gaskets too, just gap the rings and a quick hone. put a sloppy stage 2 cam in and pac 1218 springs and stock truck intake with 80lb injectors and a 78/75 vs racing turbo and you got a easy 500-700 whp and your done
"why are there only two valves"
I died laughing
Dude seriously says “I’ll do it for funsies” before tearing down the motor😂
Came for the Supra, stayed for the woopsies.
+Build Threads 😂😂
lmao same.
Sounds pretty good, I'd personally scrounge for forged rods and piston for safety but the pistons are expensive, the rods are more reasonable depending, I've found
nooooo the point is to keep stock bottom end :D
Copy, personally I wish I could afford to put a nice set of rods and forged pistons in my l33 going into my Fd so boost would be a more viable option, maybe later on. The blocks can handle quite a bit of boosted power with the thicker cylinder walls, just not the factory rods and pistons. At least when talking over 650hp reliably for any length of time. Yes I've seen writeups and video of almost twice that number on factory parts without breaking on a dyno. Anyway not discouraging, have fun and make power
When I see these dirty motors I just want to clean them with a wire brush and wd40 then degreasing it with petrol, drying it and paint it making it look new :D
Ls9 cam, Dorman or good used car manifold, the truck exhaust manifolds are steel on the l33 motor(the one you got) so the can be cleaned, cut and welded as well as modular left and right exhaust bolt pattern (you can flip them 180) s300 sxe turbo round $900. Remember those head bolts are torque to yeild throw aways. You'll want speedmaster or arp studs or just new gm replacements
+mythos000000025
Here's my list
Ls9 head gaskets
Brian tooley s2 cam
Ls7 lifters
Rocket arm kit
Pushrods
Timing kit
New rings
Reuse old bearings (engine builder told me to)
S476
Likely some on3 manifolds
New intake manifold
Stand alone ecu
It's not super super budget. But it's a lot more budget
This exact set up from my machine shop friend who runs it in his car has been low 8s and rev to 7500rpm
MASTER MECHANIC
U should do a 4.8 built after but supercharged it Whipple 👌
What book are you using to build and learn how to swap?
That’s oil spill have me anxiety. Lol the feels.
Iron block is best for big power, but the aluminum block is great for still some good power, and a good engine to learn how to build
Come on man I want to see more of the ls build
Ha, 2 big projects not enough you wanted one more????:) Good luck, can't wait to see how it goes.
+racerxnk of course =D we need a budget build. The two other ones cost too much 😂
Where I'm from you can go pick a truck or car that u want the engine out of. Go test drive the vehicle first tho make sure it runs and is good to go. Then pull it yourself. U can get the engine trans and harness with ecu for 700$ for the 5.3&4.8s with the 4l60 it's 1000 if you pick a 4l80 trans
i don't know if it matters now but the only thing you will need to do to that ls is set the end gap clearance on the piston rings and that will prevent the engine from blowing up that's is all that's needed to boost that ls on the cheepy truck engine this is jon d peace out
Turbo ls drift car!!
Can you keep the bottom end bone stock and reuse the same old bearings even with some wear but good shape wear for 200,000 miles? I have a 2003 6.0 LQ4 with 200,000miles . My plan is to keep it stock except I would like to do a basic overhaul and just do a complete gasket change top to bottom to seal everything up like new. Inspect the bearings and reuse the old bearings if they look to be in normal good shape. Keep the same factory bolts for rods and main. And MAYBE upgrade the rings to something better for a boosted engine thats going to see 15psi??????? I dont know, what you think about the rings? Can factory handle that kind of boost even after regap properly??? Or should I upgrade the rings?? I want to hone the bores to clean it up and hopefully improve the seal with a new setup in that area. Also reuse the factory pistons at 15psi??? The heads will be cleaned up to improve flow and thats it. Nothing crazy. And a upgrade in cam to match up the boost. Can the factory roller lifters be reused or should i get the lifters? How about rockers? I want to stay cheap as possible but also improve durability and hopefully 600hp-700hp and 7000rpms? Or 6500rpms?
Dam LS down here in Texas are double that
hell yeah
At least is had oil in it, some of those wrecked trucks had the oil pan busted but they drove even a minute and they are toast, seen 3 for sale like that
Do you have a link for all the parts you used to this motor brother I wanna order
Could've stuffed some shop rags in the ports and then vacuumed or whiped the crud up
What did you take this out of? Im contemplating between taking the 5.7 out of my suburban or the 5.3 from my other burban
if the 5.7 is an SBC, get the 5.3. The 5.3 has 70 more HP then the SBC 5.7 and over 100 ft lbs torque more.
You should have way more subscribers! You're awesome and cute AF
+Erin Phillips thanks =D maybe one day. Cute af huh 😏
Boosted Lifestyle oh shytt, I got a reply that's awesome. Yeah your channel is great and I have learned a lot watching you. Great to actually see something being built and troubleshooted. You don't get that allot with most channels. Keep up the good work and you'll get there.
+Erin Phillips of course you got a reply I love you guys :) I just try and film what we would normally be doing anyways :)
*"CUTE* *AF"*
.....hahaha
Budget_5.3LS_matchMaker.com
What screws do you use to mount it to the stand
What injectors did you end up using
How many mlmtrs IS the TURBO?
Sweet supra. I'm jealous. Lol
How’d you forget to drain the oil ? Fing nubs
What is the name of that ls guide that you mentioned?
Is it a 4.8 or 5.3? Looks like the pistons are flat wich should be a 4.8 or a 5.3 with the 4.8 flat piston swap.
If you haven't seen the sloppy mechanics CZcams channel its worth a visit! Matt's thing is budget turbo LS builds and he has TONS of really helpful videos about them.
Did you follow any torque sequence when removing the heads?
Why the hell would you when removing the heads? Now on the rocker bolts, ALWAYS loosen them by hand. I have stripped the head on a couple trying to loosen them with a cordless impact. now I always loosen them by hand and use an impact grade 8mm 6 point socket.
The stock intake manifold and heads will flow to over 1000whp dont change them
im new what are those tho?
What book are you using to build the motor?
I don’t know anything about tearing down an engine but isn’t the oil the first thing you have to take out ? lol
That's a pretty go deal for L33.
Chris Topher I get mines complete 200 a pop
Big55Daddy Gappband what town you in? Dann that's cheap
A stock ls with over 300,000 miles is reliable and will handle 700hp
head bolts are TQ to yield. Also bolts are year specific, its good to know before you order.
Skip that shit and just get ARP's. Torque to yield and torque to snap!
Did Kent ever finish the Mach?
Subbed
id suggest to leave the truck intake on that motor unless you really want a different intake. That intake is cheap but is a super good intake. Check out sloppy mechanics for any LS shit
Sodak Garage yeah it's been proven the truck intake is better than the old ls1, now people aren't spending 600 bucks to modify crap to get crap back out
Should probably go to electric fans on the Supra ?
What year block is that?
When you said what are those I could not stop laughing
What turbo is that Boosted lifestyle?
The motor trend guys put a ford powerstroke diesel turbo on one, made good power for cheap
Mike White that was on a 5.0 Ford motor and that turbo had the impeller reworked
Hot Rod Garage put a Silverado turbo kit into an early Camaro "Bonemaro"
Had to hack the hell out of it cause Tony is a bit of a dumbass when it comes to turbo LS engines.
That engine was on its period all the time. Leaking fluids was it’s thing lol
