Is this the LBZ Turbocharger - GM P/N 98003366 ?

Does anyone know how I can buy one? Anyone with contacts at Garrett or GM, I need your help ASAP.

I want to test this turbo on an LLY in the next 10 days.

email me at McRat@fuzzydiceracing.com or PM me.

McRat--- because the LBZ turbo probably has different size vanes/number of vanes/etc.. wont the LLY ECM have trouble controlling the vanes in it?

---Ben

That's what I want to find out. ;)

sounds like u need to take 'test drive' of an 06.

sounds like u need to take 'test drive' of an 06. Won't they get suspicious when it comes back missing the turbo? :confused:

Don't give him any ideas... I've already welded my intake manifold in place.
I'm gonna have to tack the turbo as well? :eek:

Just put your LLY turbo in it's place..

What ever happened to the 24 hour test drive that they offered a while back? That would have been plenty of time to test drive the new turbo!

Haha if it does work just put your turbo on the new truck and take it back and not tell them:muahaha:

Mcrat.....I am sure you may have already thought about this but maybe a Chevy/GMC parts counter? It maybe a premium price though. Also......enterprise engine out of ohio or Eric or the crank it up diesel boys maybe able to chime in here.....

My local Enterprise car rental shop rents out the Duramax. They may or may not have some 06s in yet.

I only talked to one dealer, but they said they didn't show any as being available.

I looked at 2 06's the LLY had a #890003360 turbo on it. The LBZ had a #8980033661 on it. Hope this helps!

That is very interesting... what's the number for the 04/05 LLY? I can't imagine they would have three different turbos...

The numbers quoted are the Izusu format. Strip the first and last off of this and you have the P/N 98003366. This is a valid part number in the service parts system and carrys a dealer price tag of $1279.:eek: Don't know if they are available though. LMK if you need me to find out.

So if Isuzu lists a different number and GM lists the same #, are they the same? LBZ and 06 LLY?

What is the part # of the 05 LLY?

Wonder if any of the SPOs have them so we could get our discount?

Everyone knows the GM/izusu numbering scheme in the parts ordering world, so there really are not any questions. The parts are the same.

The 2005 had a different number, but I didn't commit that one to a printout. I wanted to be sure that there was a definite change for the 2006.

As for SPO...There is no stock avail in Michigan for ordering. Just checked.

Yeah, I had a feeling they would not have any on the shelf. Might need an "inside source" to get my mittens on one.

If anyone has an 06 LBZ on their dealer lot, can you PM me the VIN #?

From what I have been told the only difference in the LBZ turbo was a material upgrade to handle higher heat than the 04/05 LLY unit. The new material allowed Garrett to also improve the wing design in the turbine section. It would make sense that the old units were discontinued and only the new units sold in the future.

There was not a note about superceding the previous released parts. Could mean some level of non-interchangability??

McRat, I tried getting some help from the guy I was put in touch with at Garrett - but he said it's all hands on deck preparing for SEMA.

He said he would hook me up with engineering info for the new ball bearing unit for the LB7 around Nov. 10.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Have you contacted Garrett directly? They do have an aftermarket group. Try every extension you can!

After seeing the 1/4 mile times for that 06 lly, looks like the 06 lly most likely has the new turbo. Looks like it will be tough to come by, but should be worth the effort. Good luck!

Found one!

Will report back if it works.

LOL uh oh he found one!!!! Everyone with an 06 on up needs to go open the hood on their truck and make sure u still have a turbo:lol:

:funnypost

This is going to be the one mod that will get C2 into the 11s! I know it will, I know it will, I know it will... Let's all chant it and hope it helps some! All of our hot air has to be good for at least 0.001

McRat have you found out if the "new" LLY turbo is more efficent at higher boost levels? Our "old" LLY turbos lose it after 32 PSI or so...it'd be nice to get ~36 or so PSI out of this new turbo...

That's what I'm going to try and find out. Since Garrett ain't going to tell us, it will have to be done with experimentation.

:D He said you should have used more tack weld ;):lol:

OK...

GM shipped a PN 98011735.

GMPARTSDIRECT shows it as a valid PN, but is it the LBZ charger???:confused:

Bueller?? ;)

McRat--- I just checked GM Parts Direct but it didnt come up with anything:confused:

---Ben

Will report back if it works.

so, how much was it?

So that's what you'll get if you have an 06 LBZ and the charger goes on you. Either an LLY turbo or no stock.

They probably need a year to get it (parts and updated info) together.

i'll check the system this AM and see what you got.

later.

It might be the right one. GM goes nuts with P/N's and since the engine is only a couple of weeks old, not all the data is available everywhere.

I can buy Dodge turbos all day long, for cheap! Why? Nobody wants them. :D

PS - You can get the LS7 427ci 505HP Vette motor right now! Cheaper, more powerful, and lighter than the Viper engine.

The P/N that you were shipped is the service part. The P/N that we were finding earlier is the one that is on the engine. The service part is released for all LBZ/LLYs built for 2006+

Pat, E-mail me and I'll send you a present that you may find interesting!

You have your email blocked. Mine is mcrat@fuzzydiceracing.com

McRat...???

McRat...???

I don't think he wants his wife to find out :eek: :D

looks as tho you might be right, Mrs McRat ):h

I don't think he wants his wife to find out :eek: :D

I doubt that's the case. I hear she's cool ;)

Besides I think they have less in thier two trucks than they do in 1 Corvette.

While some wish to remain anonymous...

BIG THANKS!!! You know who you are.

And double thanks to Clyde at West Coast Diesel for driving to a dealer's lot last night and verifying the P/N's on a new truck. Clyde is hardcore!

The second PN is the right one. The first one is already obsolete, and they are interchangeable. Have the right charger, just need some gaskets, and Casper becomes the first 2005.9 LLY in existence! :D

Is it bigger? Is it worth a 10th? ;)

So far appears to be same-same. Haven't compared blades yets.

Expensive upgrade if you don't see any improvement. :eek:

All in the name of testing ;) That's why we love err I mean like you so much. :exactly:

That's what I'm going to try and find out. Since Garrett ain't going to tell us, it will have to be done with experimentation.

Boy thats a true statement right there. I tried last year to get turbo data from Garrett, talked to engineers on the phone even in a few locations. They weren't talking about it, not a specific thing at all, and a couple even told me if they told me and it was found out they would LOSE THEIR JOB.

They are under a strict non-disclosure with GM.

You should see the Golf Club guys. They come in with the artifact, and guard it while we measure it, then have us destroy our copy of the file when done.

You'd think they were nuclear warheads or something! :eek:

He's speaking in tounge now. It must have went to his brain!

Honestly love the torment...

Thats scarry!!!!!:eek:

Actually the Vette has touched the far side of 170mph, and is still nearly a second quicker than Casper. ;)

And if he catches the Vette there is a LS7 427 with my name of it :p:

Now you're talkin!:grd:

That LS7 packaged into the 06 Z06 is one sweet ride. The thing is stupid fast!!!
I need another drive of one. I miss the 120 in third gear and you pull her into fourth and she still pulls you back in the seat... Or the 0-60 runs of around 4 seconds in first gear only!

Drove one today while they were messin with my LBZ, I would never get out of trafic court:eek: carmine red, tan interior sweet....... To bad I still have kids to put through school:( Oh well just 1 more item for the "wish" list :exactly:

Well with the crate engine only being 12,600 plus need a dry sump and other misc stuff. The only problem is crank position sensor :(

It's alot cheaper then the new C6 Z06 and the Meanie is already legal 10.0

Presents? ;) Any presents for an '06 LLY?

I had a friend who worked at the Fender Custom Shop. It was a similar story when they did the CS model of Clapton's "Blackie"

So... when the "guards" would step out to get a drink or use the restroom, the CS guys would all run in and fart on Blackie :D

Presents? ;) Any presents for an '06 LLY?

Well if you wouldn't have been so trigger happy and just had to have a new 06.............. There's a medical condition that is similar. I think it starts with premature or something like that. ):h

So we going to get to see more tear down pics like MrMagoo posted? ):h

Yep.

We digitized Eddie Van Halen's original guitar for Fender. Cigarette burns, stupid little stickers, etc. :D

I'll do my best, but I'm not much of a photographer! :D

Hey mcrat do u know if its the same 10 vain off the early 6.0 powerstroke or is it the 12 or 15 of the newer ones?

IIRC, it's a 13 blade on the intake and 11 on the exh.

I'll post tech info soon.

THE CHARGERS ARE FUNCTIONALLY DIFFERENT. Is it good or bad? Dunno. Will take it to the track tomorrow.

SO McRat your LLY runs perfectly/no codes with the LBZ hairdryer?

McRat has driven Casper yet. We pick him up in the morning :D

:thankyou2 to Clyde at West Coast Diesel Performance for :grd:

Now I have to see a man about some sheep...Err I mean a Conv.:muahaha:

Dont keep us in suspence, McRat!!! How'd it work!?! Im almost as anxious as when we were waiting for the secret behind the "triple stack of doom" :)

---Ben

So, what else did Clyde do...:eek:

As for the pics...Just look at my avatar! ):h Or better yet, just look under your hood! The outside of the hairdryer is the same as what is used on any of the LLYs. Just his will be cleaner cause it's new

Yep, no pics necessary. Everything looks the same from the outside, except for a part #.
