Thats what im thinking, or is this a trick question? Who starts measuring at 3? :argh:

LMFAO!!!! Damn, you caught me.... That is...... my wife's tape measure.... yea, that's it....:emb:



Fugger!!! Just admit it your scared that a poor little turbo might be faster than the all mighty TV..what ever......:devil:

T3 divided inlet flange? Got a new snail?

A bit bigger than a T3

T3*2 :)

Give me your address, I'll send you a real tape measure. :)

t4 lol. I have no clue how they "flange" these things lol..

T3*2 :)

Give me your address, I'll send you a real tape measure. :)

T6

No good with the tape... If I don't have one of these "Tapes for dummies" nothing will be square.... No one can help me build anything ether.... Because I'm hollering "Six inches, and three of those little lines":jest:

Guess thats a bigger one than the regualar STS, as well as a new snail.

Hows the truck been running, havent seen much on it.

:D

Anyway, that flange looks fast. Post some more pics/angles of it, let's get this post up to like 11,563 post. :D ;)

lol, you talking to me.... I want snail pics.


Im done here....

Did all the administration people win the frikin lottery??

One gets this massive adaptor plate.
One gets a new TBSS
One gets a new Supercharger

:(

Here is the the only other picture I'm going to post today.. lol

BTW, The tape measure belongs to her....:D

The truck runs as good as it did with the LQ4, but I want more.... So....

dood, she is adorable...I know she gets all her looks from her momma.

I want snail pics.

Sorry, I have some, but that snail got sent back, new one is on the way:bang:

Thanks, Trever1t, I think she is too.... btw, your right....

care to share some specs on the entire build? if not thats what pm's are for.

Who starts measuring at 3? :argh:

Obviously someone who has to lie to their partner about their SIZE. We all do that right???? Yeah me neither...

And this is great picture Dusty.

Putting deadbolt locks on the doors?

LOL. It might work for a badass 110v receptacle cover too.

I smell another T6 rear mount build....

Or are you finally going to move it to the right place?? :poke:

You forgot the two that got TBSS superchargers.

I on the other hand was not involved in what ever money making scheme they have going on.

:jest: @ the blownchevy's tape measure.

Went and visited a friend at International, Got a small:devil: amount of 4, 4.5, and 5 inch pipe.... Yes, I said 5 inch.....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0460.jpg


I also got a few other things....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0465.jpg

A large engine oil cooler, fittings, -8 tubing, -4 hose, Largest air filter I think I will be able to fit, and another shot of some five inch tubing.....

not to be off topic, but how old is your little girl?

Sweet, I love to see International giving back after the time we put in there.:D

not to be off topic, but how old is your little girl?

8 months

No shit, Got to thank Stark, and Derrick for this one.......

The Heart of the system should be here in the next day or so...:secret2:

5" tubing???? That is so last season.... :jest: :jest: j/k man. Looks like it will be a stought build

Holly smokes! that is massive!

What are you doing with the GT-67 turbo?

GT-67 is sold... The new turbo is nothin too special other than it's a cheap large frame..

What are the actual spec on the new turbo??

It is just a budget Borg Warner S475 with a 1.32 exhaust housing.:(

Borg Waner's are the way to go. Budget or no budget :)

Well, here is the plan.....

NO MORE STS
http://performancetrucks.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=117&pictureid=610

I like the plan and that is the way to make room in there to work!

so the sts kit is bye bye and hello to front mount, what made you switch to front mount?

I wasn't planing on it in the beginning. But after thinking about all the work and fabing required to keep the exhaust divided to the housing. Plus the exhaust housing is so big on the new turbo... 1.32

hey im with you tryn to go front mount build looks great

Here are a few more pics...

Those pipes and turbo look like they came from a big rig.

lol,, that because they did. The turbo is made by Borg Warrner for the series 60 Detroits as wells as a few others. the pipes came strait out of the parts dept of a truck shop....

You are a mad scientist!

:D

Lookin good Dusty, ;)

That's a monster of a turbo! :D

how much lag do you think you'll have with a turbo that size?

He's probably going to spray it out of the hole.:bat_angel

Lookin good Dusty, ;)

Thanks dude.... I forgot to mention I got all my flanges to make this possible from Mr. KB, anyone looking into building your own or if you smart buying a front mount, check out KBRacing!!!!!

how much lag do you think you'll have with a turbo that size?

Not sure but this is one of the factors I thought about when going front mount, plus the continuous push from Stoichiometric..:bang: I had a GT-67 with a .96 A/R, It was too small IMO. now I removed about 8 feet of hot pipe, 8 feet of cold pipe, keep the exhaust split to the housing, though it wont help that much, but we'll see. I never thought my 5.3 was laggy with the gt-67 and .96 a/r...

He's probably going to spray it out of the hole.:bat_angel

I would like too, build the engine to handle it, just need to buy the crap to make it happen....

Thanks everyone... I hope to have a bit more cash for pipes tomorrow and start welding a few days after that....

It's a S475 Budget unit...

Any updates? :)

I got the oil cooler some-what mounted...

You should prepare to move the A/C accumulator tank...or at least ditch it. :secret2: That is if you've got the sand to run a full 5" DP all the way back. :D

she gon' be purty love to see front mounts on gas engines in trucks...all variables considered...our trucks kick ass:judge:

The plan is to try to run the 5 inch down pipe down, then a 3 inch cutout. Then run as far back as I can with the 5 inch. I'll have to clearance a lot of sections with a hammer. The a/c accumulator will be one spot I'll have to make some room.

what exactly is budget$$?

I love this picture!

How are you planning on bringing split tubes into the turbo and still having room to run a 5" downpipe? :eek2: :D

LMAO, yea it might be a pipe dream... We'll see... I think I can but I have a few issues, I only have one 38mm waste gate, and I'd like to be able to remove the spark plugs some day... One thing is for sure... A hammer will be required to make the 5 inch fit...:judge::judge:

You know, DMH makes a 4" and a 5" cutout :devil:

Just some food for thought!

Hey Dusty, I have a fitting that I got from Bill Reid to move the A/C dryer off to the side a little bit. I'm not gonna use it...if you want it it's yours. It's laying around somewhere....let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can find it :)

Here's a couple pics I stole from Bill

Wow that might save my life,,, If you do run across it, save it, I might need it... I'll let you know.. Thanks :chug:

Ok, I'll take a look as soon as I get a chance. I know it's out there somewhere, the question is where.

How are you planning on bringing split tubes into the turbo and still having room to run a 5" downpipe? :eek2: :D

Easy, you run the down pipe strait up though the hood!!:D:D

Easy, you run the down pipe strait up though the hood!!:D:D

Believe me...I've considered that. :nono: I think it might be a tad too loud.

Is there room to come around the front with the driverside and then route up above the A/C compressor into the turbo? Then you can keep that passenger side log? tight in the back for more room going down passed the frame.

I've thought about that but I would have to reroute all my cold pipes too. I think I would give up on the dream of split to the turbo and just run a log first.

The pipe should be here in a couple days, so hopefully this weekend I'll make some good head way....

Best use of a magnetic tray right?

now that's a big pipe:judge:

What size engine are you using Wilde? That 1.32 ar is gonna have some awful lag.

forged 370

forged 370

Wow, that thing will take forever to spool up unless you get a 5000 stall.

Wow, that thing will take forever to spool up unless you get a 5000 stall.

We shall see, I can always go to a 1.10 but I'd have to go with a smaller exhaust wheel. I hope it is not too bad, that is the reason for the split exhaust, to try and help with spool, but to be honest I can handle a great deal of lag..... Plus I think A LOT can be done in the tuning...
What sized exhaust do you have?

Tuning is going to help or turn the spool time, but that turbo is sized for a 408+, not a street driven 370. but either way it will be fun as hell :burn:

Ahhh, just a little shot of nitrous at the launch should spool that puppy quickly (reverse progressive ramp maybe?).

Looking good!

Wow, that thing will take forever to spool up unless you get a 5000 stall.

Its not as bad as you'd think- I have ridden in a 1991 Camaro with a bone stock 350 vortec that was converted to blowthrough and it spooled it fine; I think he is running a 3000 stall. There are a few guys running these on stock shortblock 5.0's.

What sized exhaust do you have?

Cablebandit has the same turbo with a 408. It was so bad with the 408 he swapped down to the 1.10. He could not brake the tires loose with the 1.32. At the track it took forever to build boost with a 2-step and transbrake.

What size turbine wheel does it have?

Here is an iron headed 9.1:1 355 with a 75mm S400 with 1.32 housing....

It is 88mm I believe

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0517.jpg

Sweet jesus :drool:

the 1.32 has a 96 turbine, the 1.10 has a 83 turbine. I was told the 83 would be too smal for my hp goal, so I went with the 1.32/96 wheel.


Thanks for the video, that does have some lag, I wander how much they loaded the dyno??????

just go with it! if you dont like it you can always change it.. and you wont know if you like it unless you try it.... so i say go for it! plus. lag is fine..its just foreplay.. lol and who doesn't like a little foreplay!

I don't plan on changing anything.... I've learned one thing, what some call excessive lag, other call normal... lol and my .96 was way to small in the rear...

No matter what happens I'm hooked... Every time I see this thread there seems to be progress. Good job Dusty. Can't wait to see the results on the track.

what's a little lag between friends? :P

:lurk:

LOL, you better hope it has a shit ton of lag..... It's your only chance.....:jest:

LMAO...no no no...I am guessing your ass is gonna need a freaking cage my friend. So his only chance is that you haven't installed your cage yet and you CHOOSE not to bust 11.5's because you'd like to continue to run the rest of the day.

Killer fab work Dusty, I wish I had the fab skills (more so the shop and tools) some of you guys have. Even if it is too laggy, you still have a larger goal in the end and that I am sure will fill the lag spot. Now hurry and finish. I want to see your next thread of you replacing your rear axel. :P

Thanks EVERYONE...


I made a little progress, got the welder wired up..... and started the passenger header...

So MUCH pipe. So LITTLE room.

So MUCH pipe. So LITTLE room.

Your telling me:bang:

wow so you're only gonna run the turbo with 2 cylinder exhaust ports? Im sorry if I seem kinda dumb, but Im completely new to turbos, so whats the advantage of that?

Sweet fuckin build man, I love the gian strap from the ceiling holding JUST the turbo :jest: good shit, I'd like to see it run too :nod:

hes making the log on the passenger side...hes not done yet...:sigh:

Dustin

Well all done for the day, I need a few more sections of pipe to finish.....

Here are a few more pics...

Locating turbo flange...


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0560.jpg

Flange in position..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0562.jpg

A few more sections of pipe..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0565.jpg


So far....


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0567.jpg


Keep in mind, this is just mock-up so to say it looks rough is an understatement... It will look a bit better once it's all welded up...

So both are coming up from the passenger side and the downpipe is going down there also!!! :eek2:

So both are coming up from the passenger side and the downpipe is going down there also!!! :eek2:

That is the plan, I'll only be using a schedule 40 45* (cut 90) at the flange for the drivers bank, then 14 gauge exhaust pipe. So it will be a bit smaller.
I hope to have a full day on Wednesday to work on it...

Lookin good:nod:

Got off early today, got a bit more done...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0570.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0571.jpg


I spend almost two hours dicking with a elbow for the drivers bank at the flange but couldnt get it to fit right, I'm not to happy with the strait section cut off at an angle then "beat to fit"... I might change it a bit later down the road...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0577.jpg


This is the plan so every thing will fit....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0579.jpg

I still need to built the lower elbow for the drivers bank, but you can see there is PLENTY of room...:bang::bang::bang:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0583.jpg

Cut a piece of frame out and replace it with a piece of that 5" downpipe.........Structural downpipe FTW!!! :D

That looks like a cluster fuk of exhaust.

Dustin

very nice progress. thank god you dont have a upper a-arm in the way like i do. when my 96 use to be slammed i always worried about the arm hitting the primarys.

i wish i could weld!!

Cut a piece of frame out and replace it with a piece of that 5" downpipe.........Structural downpipe FTW!!! :D

yeah, seems to me pulling the motor and restructuring the framing into exhaust would be easier. It would be :pimp:

Thanks guys, well last night I got thinking about all my clearance issues... I thought long and hard about ditching the split flange idea... I dont know what the hell I was thinking when I was tacking the pipes...

Tomorrow I'm starting over, well not completely, but I'm going to change the way I adapt to the 2.5.... Number 8 will have a longer section of 1.5, then it will go to 2 inch at number 6. Then at number 4 I'll go to 2.5 with an elbow. that should give me a bit more room for the drivers side pipe. I know I could get it all to fit now, but I want to have room to wrap it all and build heat shields around the starter and engine mount....

looking good.

Why not notch the frame a bit, and fill it in with plate?:devil:

Shit...Henry told me you were playing with a T6 flange but jebus!!! :jest:
I got a good book for you when I get home about building turbo manifolds...hopefully I'll get there in time to give it to you before it's too late! (you and henry will have to share)

Also, having ridden in my truck, you'll remember when my power actually kicked in (the so called "boost-threshold" or "tip-in"). Which is why my truck feels like it's always on Nitrous past a certain point.
You can manipulate the "tip-in" to some extent with cams, tuning, etc... but IMO I don't think you'll have much problem with lag but your gonna have to sacrifice where you'll see the "boost-threshold" kick in. :thumb:

Good to hear from you dude.... Hope all is well and you get back soon... BTW.... I might have heard about your plans....:secret2:

Frenchy!!! bout time you made it back on here...
its been boring.

IMO.....get that AC out of there :bang:

He does have a point. It does get a little toasty here. I mean I don't use the A/C but we are talking about Dusty.:wrist:

Sorry to see things not going to plan Dusty but either way it has been looking good. Keep your chin up and get that fat bitch running.

What if you relocate the compressor Hi like the sanden relocation kit and then mount the turbo low and in front like the T/A kits???

Holy crap your alive lol

lol I was just about to say that.:D

Well I'm done for the day. I got a lot done, but I have a TON of crap left....:bang:

Started welding up the manifold though:chug:


Does it look like there is enough room for a 5 inch pipe??

I didnt realize how bit the turbo was until seeing it in the engine bay dam lol...

good progress for a day. That stuff is time consuming as hell.

Looks good Dusty, now how you gona do the WG?

Looks good Dusty, now how you gona do the WG?

2 of them lol

No wastegate!!! :devil:

No wastegate!!! :devil:

That turbo would make like 8000lbs of boost on that motor lol

I'd do two gates on that thing personally.... the way its flanged, its like a twin single turbo :jest:

IMO.....get that AC out of there :bang:

A/C stays for now....

STFU...:P


Looks good Dusty, now how you gona do the WG?

I'd like to do two, but I cant afford it lol... Have to what and find out... it will be a suprize....(to me too):confused::confused:

Looks good man, but I think it's going to be a PITA to change your plugs. :jest:

Also the crossover tube looks awful close to the frame. When the engine revs, it might come into contact with it.

Progress is good. O2 bungs and everything, looks factory to me. Didn't 00's come with a T6 turbo? Nice work.

There is plenty of room between the frame and the exhaust.. like 1/18 of an inch... :jest:

Your tape measure shows 1/18ths? :sigh: :P

Shit, you should have stayed with the STS:D

Dusty, I'll be by at 7 to finish up there for you....see I told you, no leaks!!!

the funny thing is someone probably looked that when they were done and said "damn Im Good" LMAO

dude, that pipe will crack before those welds will!

dude, that pipe will crack before those welds will!

naaaa

dam man did you run out of gas ?

Dusty, I'll be by at 7 to finish up there for you....see I told you, no leaks!!!

LMAO. Ahhh... you...

WTF IS THAT?!!?!? hahahahaha

I've never welded in my life and I think I may be able to weld a LITTLE bit better than that :jest:

looks great, keep up the good work!!! your welds look amazing would you be interested in making me one too? your craftsmanship is 2nd to none.

lol... yea, I thought that picture would raise a few eye brows...


I started bending my oil cooler lines today. I hope to do a bit of welding later today...

OMFG! WTF is that? Where did you get that pic? That things would go off like a bomb once the exhuast pressure builds. :bomb:

A real update.....

Got the manifold welded up. though it far from done. a little bit more smoothing and some minor port work is needed. Then it will be wraped up..Thank god, because this has taking A LOT longer than I had though....
Anyway.. Picture:chug:


I had to cut the drivers bank off in order to weld it all up, here is a pic of the passenger bank pretty much done...

Drivers bank welded up and back in to position. With a coat of black muffler anti rust..

And just wanted to see if the stupid manifold would hold the pig of a turbo.... "Look ma, no chain":D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0725.jpg

Next week, I hope to have the down pipe done and finish up the cross over, and maybe a little section of the exhaust.

And just wanted to see if the stupid manifold would hold the pig of a turbo.... "Look ma, no chain":D

It will for now, but add repeated heat cycles, and fatigue will come sooner. Consider a brace of some type. Once it sags, things tend to get ugly quickly.

Looks good though. How much room for the down pipe now?

Plenty of room .... I think, Yes a support system is Defiantly in the plans. I just need to figure out my waste gate location. I plan on using accy bolt holes in the front of the head, and possibility the a/c compressor pump mounting bolts....

looks good, nice work! What size downpipe are you going with?

looks good, nice work! What size downpipe are you going with?

The plan is 5 inch.... Even if I have to :judge: it to fit

with a big hole saw, it comes out of the hood pretty easy

with a big hole saw, it comes out of the hood pretty easy

:sigh:

Well , made a little bit of head way... Got the cross over tacked, and the down pipe tacked....

YES it fit, it is not touching ANYTHING right now, but I'm defiantly going to have to make a little bit of room for it to move around...

The plan for the waste gate..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0768.jpg


I'm pretty sure you (you know who you are) were right, 5 inch is way too big:bang:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0770.jpg

Looking good there Dusty :thumb: You got enough hot pipe for about an 800ci motor though, :lol:

Do a body lift and that will give you the clearance that you need to get that 5" pipe down there. :jest:

Looking awesome!

WOW! Thats awsome..Nice work.

5in exhaust is just insane, i like it. Good luck on the out come!

Looks good.

Sorry wrong user name. Looks good Dusty.

Looks killer man, great work... :)

Thanks guys... I'm trying to come up with the exhaust plan after the down pipe. I plan on mounting the 3 inch cut out right at the bottom of the down pipe. then running 5 inch all the way back to the muffler area, then going to 4 inch and threw a muffler, then over the axle and out near the factory location all with 4 inch.
OR
Run five to about the middle of the cab, slit into two 3 inch pipe and run the outlets behind each wheel. Each 3 inch would have it's own muffler.

I would have to buy all the 3 inch as well as two three inch mufflers. If I did the 4 inch I already have all the pipe I would need, I would just a muffler. I would like it to be quite-ish..

:jest: you said quite-ish :jest:

:jest: you said quite-ish :jest:

So did you....:nunchuk:

Nice work man, 5" down pipe HOLY CRAP.

i would laugh at any description that had the word "quiet" in it.

Well quite-ish is just another fine example of my spelling ability. "Quiet-ish" would be a little less noisy than my old set-up... Which I think I can manage, as long as the pipes don't rattle against the frame, cross members, cab, heat shields, engine and trans... :P

Well I worked on the pile again tonight. Didn't get to much done though..

Waste gate is welded to the manifold, but I still need cut the pipe that connects the gate to the down pipe. I also got the turbo support pretty much done...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0846.jpg

Well after another 3o,clock night... The turbo support and the exhaust are DONE (not including down pipe). I ended up going with about four feet of 5 inch after the down pipe then down to four inch, through a muffler then out the stock location. I have my old three inch cut out right after the down pipe.

The waste gate is pretty much done, I just need to install the divider I'll post pics of that. And install a wide band bung. So the hot side getting close to being wrapped up.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0905.jpg

So the truck is back on the ground, and WAY dirty...

THAT iS ONE HUGE SNAIL TRAIL!!



jfwy Lookin like your gonna haul some ass fo sho.

I like it Dusty:pimp:. You gona make that in a kit form? ;) :D

ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME???? I WILL NEVER EVER EVER build all this crap in my garage with a cheap ass wire welder, a grinder and a chop saw again:bang::bang::bang: BTW, YOU do not charge enough for your manifold.

It's looking awesome! I cant wait till you have it running, any idea how long that will be?

hopefully in a week or three, cold side shouldnt be too much work with the help of a friend....

hopefully in a week or three,

:lol: that sounds like the cable install time that they give you when they will be there to install.

Good luck, I can't wait till it's done.

Oh and you said friend but I would be willing to help.

What kind of tuning provisions can be made to help spool up?

You can get your ass over here any time now...

What kind of tuning provisions can be made to help spool up?

anything that loads the engine. I got the old 6.0/sts/gt-67 .96 to spool at the line with low timing and lots of fuel, I was able to lanch at 3,000 rpm with a stock 80 verter.

LMAO I love the windshield art.:jest:


LMAO, I didnt think anyone would catch that. They'll be more:secret2:

are you going to run the stock intake manifold?

Yes, for now.

Well I pulled all the crap back off so I could start getting the truck itself ready for the added heat. Here is the pic of the manifold/waste gate/down pipe. You can also see the turbo support that bolts to the head in the background. (The support still needs to be cleaned up)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/DSC_0920.jpg

Here is a shot of the crossover and exhaust, you can see the cutout in the exhaust as well.

Here is the up to date pic. old heat shield is off which will be replace by a much biger one and the trans lines wrapped.

ahmen. Doing it yourself is great but a PITA. I started making a merge with the above mentioned tools and was done, I almost broke out the stick welder but did not want to further jack up my pipes

Looks good, the sastifaction of doin it your self must be great!

It is, and I love doing the work, just frustrating when under a tight time restraint, noise restraint and lacking of tools< which is a big issue for me. I have WAY more money in tools than I do my truck.

Your doing a hell of a job Dusty! :thumb: I really like how everything is fitting and coming together.

Thanks Dude.:chug:

Well I got a bit more done last night...

I got the frame wax striped, the frame painted, and the ABS harness rerouted. I also finished up my oil cooler support. (pics of that later)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0025.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0024.jpg

At work, I got my split exhaust, single waste gate flange idea going. Each bank will remain divided. The waste gate valve will seal up (somewhat) at the end of each port, once the gate opens both sides merge, and are bypassed. I'm pretty sure it will work, my only worry is, now the gate wont flow enough to keep boost steady... I'll just have to try it and find out..

Still need a little clean up, but you get the idea..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0026.jpg

Open her up a little more with the die grinder :D You don't need much WG with that big of a turbo and 15+ psi of boost :devil:

A-effin-men!

Dusty you're a metal sculpting artist. How did you remove the frame wax? The less ecologically sound the method the better (pressure washer filled with benzene). I would like to clean the bottom side of my frame rails.

John

Why do yous guy want the wax off of your frames? It seems to protect better'n paint.

The wax is (was) Some what oil coated. I didn't want it to goe down in flames.

I used a puddy knife, Carb cleaner, and a few rags.

Thanks guys.

I removed about fifteen feet of wide band wire, and started bending metal for the heat shield. Hopefully I'll have the turbo installed and the fender bolted back up this weekend.

Got a bit more done last night.

That downpipe is fuggin awesome man. :D :jest: :hail:

When is the "It's fired up!" post going to happen? :)

Nice fuggin work man!!

Can't wait for you to smear the snot out of Bill!!

Uh, I mean, start it up and get some numbers!



:bat_angel

I LOVE it! :D NICE WORK Dusty! :thumb::thumb:

Loooks good buddy, glad to see you making some headway on it. Let's get together soon and see if you can keep it out of my rear view :P

Thanks guys. I still have a ton of small things to wrap up. but I hope to have it running by next weekend. I cant wait to hear it!!

nice work man . lets hope you keep those heads on.

And the money shot...

PLENTY OF ROOM!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0066.jpg

Is that going to be enough room when the motor rocks? Or are you running solid engine mounts?

Looks bad ass!!! I can't wait till it is running.

Thanks. And I have no idea, But if I hear it cluck, I pull it back of and give her a few wacks with a hammer.:judge:

Hahaha, I was thinking the same as ChevyTruck. If it has enough torqe to twist it and clunk it, think it will make its own clearance. No BFH necessary. :judge:

Looks really good.

Looks really good.

Thanks...

Well I just ordered a 5 inch 90* rubber elbow (easy to find):bang: and a few other misc crap to finish the cold side...

when u get her runnin we want a video

Nice work Dusty. ya after reading this thread i decided i need to get off my lazy butt and fab up a turbo kit for my truck. Looks like the project is coming together very well. let me know if you need any help getting that beast back together.

Thanks dude, you going to let us know your plans?:secret2: May I make a suggestion? DONT use 5 inch :jest:

I'll video it for sure.....

It's getting bad guys, I keep having nightmares about the stupid thing.... Last night I dreamed the thing wasnt pumping coolant, got hot, and spun a bearing, all while sitting on jack stands in the garage...:loco: I need to get a life....:emb:

Thats weird I had a dream about your truck too, but in my dream you handed me the keys and said somthing like give it hell, but keep her under 150:jest: ya it was a good dream.

So I have a little issue... I'm not sure if I should tap the oil circuit for the turbo before or after the cooler. I planed on after because I want the turbo to see cooler oil. but the fact the oil cooler has a bypass valve, I'm afraid the oil would rather flow threw the bypass to the turbo rather than threw the cooler. I'm not sure if I explained this very well so, I'll reread and possibly rewrite the quest in a few minutes..

Here are some pics for reference..

Killer oil flow chart
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/Oil_Flow.gif

bypass valve
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0079-1.jpg

Don't run the valve... Or just use the tap you put in the block like with the sts

I'm using the factory cooler block and lines

I'm using the factory cooler block and lines

You didn't have that with the STS?

No just the taped block off

Why would an oil cooler have a bypass? Is it thermostatic?
Oh, I just found your other thread.

+1 for the oil flow chart.

This is truly going to be "wilde"

The oil cooler bypass valve is to block off flow through the cooler when the engine is cold. It acts like a thermostat. The engine oil heats up quicker when the oil isn't circulating through the cooler. The valve will help the engine maintain a constant oil temp.

I would leave the bypass valve alone and grab your oil supply from somewhere else. Does it really matter if the oil is a little cooler before it gets to the turbo. It's like taking a cold bath before going to the bunny ranch, your going to hell anyways so what difference does it make what temp you were before you got there.

LMFAO, nice dude...

After a long talk on the phone, everything will be left were I had planed. The oil cooler bypass installed, and the turbo oil supply tapped after the cooler.... I did get a bit more done tonight and it is now 2:37am, I'm going to be even more worthless at work than usual.

I got a lot of the wiring done, as well as most of the vacuum/boost controller lines done.

Still need to....

Finish cold side
mount a air filter
locate and mount a coolant res.
install heater hoses
finish oil cooler lines
install turbo drain
install turbo supply
finish wiring crap
reinstall drivers seat

I'm sure there is more.........

turned out nice, good job

I forsee transfercase chain slack in your future :nod:

Looks massive bro, can't wait to see the startup vid, what muffler did you end up with?

As far as the muffler I'd rather not say....






It is off a dodge cummins:eyes:

I hope it will be up and running, I wont be working on this weekend, so hopfully next week some time...:D

Well, everything else in the kit is big enough for a Peterbuilt, so might as well have a diesel muffler in there too, might sound similar :devil:

New name for Dustys truck: "Project log truck" :D

Nice work man. Can wait to get started on mine

I hope it will be up and running, I wont be working on this weekend, so hopfully next week some time...:D

HAHAHA...I don't think so my young padoine learner! If it's not running by next friday morning I'm pushing your truck out the driveway! :P
Expect a phone call after work.

LOL, you might be required to help push. Btw, I got your message, I'll give ya a call in bit, when I'm sure your hard working ass is awake

i've been gone all weekend, I just got home. I was able to fab up my oil drain flange last week before I left...


High dollar loader frame metal.. :jest:

All finished up.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0095.jpg

Looks good. What's the ID of the tube?

OD is 5/8, not sure of ID. Hopefully it will be large enough not to need a orifice on the supply side.

I also got the surge tank some what mounted, and a a/c hose bracket some what fabed up... So much more little crap.... There is no end in site....

Well stayed up late last night, got a little bit more done. oil cooler lines are done, turbo supply line, a/c bracket, boost regulator, and charge pipes are all done.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/WildeRacing/IMG_0102.jpg

looking good! getting closer and closer to having it running...

Yes, hopefully it move under its own power by Thursday night...

Wow you don't mess around. You've done in a couple weeks what I've seen others take months to do.

how are you going to put oil in that thing :jest:
