Building a s472 kit yourself?

[05Monsterdmax]

Selling my twin over stocker kit and gonna run a s472 charger. Done have my Ppe t4 pedistal. Talked to fleece today and they have an adapter that I can weld to my afe hot side tube to make it a vband connection on the charger. Questions I have is about locating parts. I need the down pipe for the charger, metal intake like Caleb's or Trent's, and a ybridge that can clear the intake. Feed line etc is easy to find. Anyone have any info?

 

[mackthehack]

Feed and drain lines you can get from merchant-automotive.com. Intake, y bridge and downpipe. Try EPR or Caleb like you mentioned. Maybe try ATS for the downpipe. I picked mine up on here used.

We used a ATS downpipe and profab LB7 y bridge and pedestal. It puts the S400 compressor cover pretty against the y-bridge boot, making it difficult to change chargers. We have to put it on/take it off complete. Plenty of room for any intake though!

Any links on the correct down pipe possibly?

Found the s400 oil supply/return kit on ma. I can find a lb7 ic pipe cheap, just not sure on the intake or a ybridge. Got a picture of the one I need but haven't found it anywhere. Priced out the ic pipe and ybridge at one place and was 550 bucks without having a core ybridge. Trying to get cheaper though.


04jimc--Any pics if how the regular lb7 bridge touches the s400 frame? Curious to see how it is

A PPE downpipe works great... I run a banks cold side boost tube and an ATS hot side boost tube.

It doesnt touch the frame, but the boot does after you put it on. Its the LB7 shorty new style from Rick. Supposedly he wont make the older one anymore either.

Ok sweet ill check into that. Have u tried spicing the one side if the bride riser that close to the charger bending it over some and welding ur cut? Or does it barely even touch?

 

[paint94979]

Go find a used 03-04 LB7 bridge... I personally don't see the need for a big 3 inch piece. I'm assuming your goals are not 10's?

 

[05Monsterdmax]

My trucks lifted, 10s ain't in its future unless I strap a rocket in the bed. Ha. Maj ky wanting it to rock good and roll out 800+ on the dyno.

[05Monsterdmax]

Trick dubbs? Not sure what ur referring to lol

Probabaly twins I'm assuming

 

[05Monsterdmax]

Could be twins, injectors, fuelers not sure where he's going with that yet. 472 will lay out 800+ from what I've been told with supporting mods.

That's asking a lot from an S472

 

[05Monsterdmax]

Idk personally. Ima be running a empire diesel billet s472 as suggested by several shops and they said its what I'd want and still be able to tow. If I didn't tow they suggest a 475. So idk. I have seen a single 475 Ed lay down just shy of 900.

 

[juddski88]

Thats bangin

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

saw an s472 do close to 900hp fuel only on a CR. and well over 1000 on nitrous.

i have maybe 1300 bucks in my whole setup.

i used a vband and a 3.5''-2.25'' (iirc) reducer to run my stock IC tube.

I have a federal LB7 y bridge thats coming off my truck if you are interested. Also I can hook you up with feed lines for cheap from the hydro shop here. Ask around Ive put a bunch of kits together for guys on here.

I think you may have us mistaken with Engineered Diesel..... We don't do anything with the Borg Warner S series turbos. We only use Garrett and Precision.

When breaking it down I would put many std Garrett or Precision Ball Bearing Turbos up against the S400's stuff for both performance and longevity.:thumb:

Rock it? Roll out on the dyno? What the hell kind of english is that? I was having a little fun trying to speak your dialect, lol. "trick dubbs" are nice rims in ghetto language. And nothing in that statement referred to plurality. Thanks for the laugh

Trick dubbs? Not sure what ur referring to lol
