Look I'm not here for critics like you to run your mouth I'm here for help and suggestions my boy has v6 silverado and it runs like no other on 12 pounds

Can we see pics of the Silverado setup? Not being a jag off, just asking because I like outside the box installs on GM stuff. Thanks.

So run a t3 turbo? What if I found another turbo from an Evo and put twins?

Run two evo turbos. Find another one and then you will have enough compressor area and turbine area for your explorer.

i hope your kidding..... just get mega squirt. t-3 or even t-4 would be fine. if you can find another e8 16g go for it. i just think it will lag. good luck. post pics damn it!

I believe a twin setup with Evo 8 16G's would be fantastic actually, however I doubt it will get done in this particular thread. The Evo 8's use a twin scroll turbine housing, that when piped correctly can greatly help low end spool which leads to better torque/power lower in the RPM scale. The turbo uses an inconel turbine wheel (lighter than most standard off the shelf turbine wheel materials) which helps with rotational energy.

Back in the day I helped a good friend put two Evo 3 16G's on a 5.0L SBF which had a good cam, aluminum heads, big intake manifold, 9:1 compression ratio and the car really hustled even on the older technology Evo 3 16G turbos. The car would go high 10's on any given night. I know this is apples and oranges comparing what ever motor is in this explorer (hell I don't even know to be honest) vs. a half way built 5.0, but it worked pretty well.

You could very well be correct that it might be a little laggy, but this is an automatic so the turbo won't loose as many RPM's between shifts as a manual transmission. Screw it all, put two Evo 8 16G's on it and tweak it up on Mega-Squirt! WOOOOOO!
