In this chapter of our S71 Olds build, we are completing the install of our Bullseye Power 75 mm turbo, our fabricated turbo piping, Bell intercooler , and the Be Cool Radiator . All of the exhaust tubing and turbine housing parts were coated by Extreme Powder Coating using their 2200° high temperature black ceramic coating to keep them looking new. The charge air tubing was painted with Eastwood's high temperature Nano Ceramic engine paint, which is a very durable paint suitable for parts reaching regular engine temperatures. The be cool radiator module encompasses a pair of Spal electric fans, and Be Cool guarantees it to cool engines up to 1000 HP. We installed a Turbo Smart Reaceport blow-off valve inline with the air intake to help keep the turbo spooled-up during shifts. To help reduce underhood air temperatures and to make our turbo system more efficient, we installed a DEI Titanium Turbo Shield , which is made from lava rock strands that can withstand temperatures over 1800°. We also wrapped our turbo exhaust with DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap to keep the hot exhaust gas in the tubing and underhood temperatures down. A K & N air filter and various silicone connectors from IntakeHoses.com completed the intake tubing. In the coming chapters, we will complete the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex wiring system install and FAST Fuel Injection installs before firing up the S71 Olds!
If it's a diesel block..It isn't a Olds engine.. I also like the real-deal, using a engine that came stock from the factory in it's factory correct application..Not a diesel block in a Olds classic..:-(

@5tonjeep It's an Oldsmobile diesel block, built by Oldsmobile, came stock in Olds passenger cars from until '81. It's externally identical to the stock Olds 350 that came with the car new. That was the concept, to keep an Olds in the Olds. We still have the original 350 that came with the car, which will stay with the car as well.

love the show you learn something new everyday watching you guys , but I got a few questions if you got the time.
1ST at what temp dose the modded motor stay at while its running around ?
2nd how hot can it get under hood before damage starts to happen?
3rd . you ran the turbo oil return into the gas pump block off plate what fuel pump did you run ?
thanks for all the tip and tricks :)

@MrTlTO So far, the car has been running at around 190 degrees. I have no idea when underhood temps would be undesirable, we just don't really want to find out. Most newer cars run at 210 - 220 degrees F, and the heat makes plastic, wiring, and rubber pieces brittle over the long term. We're trying to keep the heat down as much as possible. The fuel system uses a FAST Aeromotive A1000 electric fuel pump mounted in the rear of the car. More on that in upcoming videos.

I love your guys work, but Ive seen this with just about every modern "custom" restoration. Id like to see a complete nut and bolt rescue and complete restore to 100 percent stock using 100 percent correct parts and ENGINE. Using a LS engine is great and all but nothing beats the real deal from the 60's

@Boredout454 This IS an Olds V8, we only used an LS-type throttle body. Go back and watch the build videos, this is a stroker Oldsmobile built using a diesel block. We tried to keep the rest of the car looking fairly stock, but it does have some major performance upgrades.
