Proposed Turbocharger for 2003 H2

[[__--MUD--__]]

Aftermarket as in buying off the shelf kit, no. But there are a number of manufacturers that have built systems. STS was toying around w/ making a rear mount turbo kit, I never saw if anything materialized on it.

There is a lingenfelter H2 twin turbo kit for sale on craigslist right now that was removed from a truck. It was pretty cheap, I'm assuming the turbos needed a rebuild, it didn't like much details other than a few pics. It was around $1200.

Putting it on w/ the expectation of a dramatic difference in economy is going to be a disappointment. Yea, you'll get some additional power and your effeciency should go up, but its not going to pay for itself.

If you can do the work yourself, I believe its easier to justify a duramax conversion.

There has been a few people over the year that converted over to 2 wheel drive, but I never saw any significate savings as they were still turning all the front end drive train. Never saw one that had unlockable hubs.

It takes alot of power to move an 8000 pound all wheel drive box down the road.

Alot of good info at performancetrucks.net. I'd hunt around over there, alot of activity. ls1tech.com is a sister site, all these motors are pretty damn close to each other.

...and if you get it turbo-ed you might as well start planning on beefing your tranny up or swapping up to a 4L80.

Reserving money for a 4L80 would be cheaper in the long run. Beefing up the stock tranny is just a bandaid, wont last.
