Richard Holdener Does a supercharged 3800

[bs009]

Looks like he's finally getting ready to do some testing on these again after he blew the bearings on the L32. Can't wait to see more of the stuff he does

 

[bs009]

Anybody know why he still hasn't done a "big bang" 3800 yet? Sounded like it was going to happen but it's been almost 2 years now since we last saw a 3800 on his channel.

He was waiting on a set of ported heads I thought last I heard that were vaporware.

Waiting on yates or bulley?

 

[sktchy]

Yeah I haven't seen any more 3800 content from him at all. Which is fine because he was pushing the price up on junkyard blocks.

He probably can't get it to blow. Currently maxing a 130mm turbo and still runs like grandma's.

Probably showing up gen3s and we can't have a dent in a profitable ls market.

I don't even care about convincing anything to people outside the circle. I'm more excited to show the people who are already blowing these up at 250hp that they're doing it wrong.

 

[sktchy]

Surely he didn't see me talking shit on bookface. "We're waiting Richard"

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Well shoot I ain't signing up fer bookface.

Someone comment asking if he will be modifying the plastic windage tray and making a supplemental baffle to keep cyl 4 rings from drowning in oil and getting to the chamber

He goes live like 2x a day and it's just a bunch of Q&A with anyone who's watching. It's all on youtube so you could literally chat with him haha

example live from earlier today:

 

[sktchy]

Watch it let go at 500 crank

 

[bs009]

I know he's made over 600 with it on the turbo with pretty low boost levels. I believe this was his last video where he walked through the numbers each setup made.



with a gen5 blower running a 2.6" pulley and an NIC cam he made close to 450hp
