I hear ya!! That is on my to do list. I already got a water temp and EGT sitting around. Just waiting to see how much everything is going to cost me for motor build. I should have built it first but, the "I want now" took over.

 

Dang man hate to hear that.... Sounds like my luck

 

A turbo truck from Jesup...Who'd a thunk it?! Sorry to hear about the issue. Get that thing on the road. I need to check it out sometime.

Sup Clint...

 

were getting quite a few people from down this way. i haven't talk to Matt in ages, don't have his number anymore so somebody tell him Brian said whatsup. we need to have a gtg if everybodys truck would stay running at the same time lol

 

haha I think those are the magic words.... I finally get my 6.0L built and then decide to go ahead and build a forged 370... But yes there are some bad rides in this area for sure, we have one boy in new Z06 running 10:80's n 1/4 with radials, exaust & tune. Would be fun for a GTG at the track.


Sup Rodney....

 

the fitting on the FPR does not have a flared end, bead or anything to help hold the vac line on...the stock vac line is rigid for this reason I think, but the boot on the end gets hard with time...I removed mine from the intake's port, which BTW is way bigger than the FPR fitting...I then ran a new piece of rubber vac line from it to a reducer vac fitting, then used a short piece of really soft silicone vac line from there to the FPR fitting so I could get a ty-wrap on it good and tight...also ty-wrapped the other three connections as well

 

at least you built yours first. i've had mine for a year and haven't touched it.

 

That's a good idea I'll try that. Right now the truck is in the backyard waiting for a shutdown to be over. Then, I have to decide to build it or sell it I'm about fed up with it. I have zip tied the stock vac line on already so hopefully no more mishaps until motor swap.

 

Finally got around to pulling motor out. Seems that I have two bent rods. I also found out that the first shop didn't hook up my cam sensor, so that was probally causing my extended crank. He also didn't hook up my knock sensors. I don't know much about turbo's, but I think my vacuum/boost lines were hooked up wrong. He was taking a reference off the turbo and the back of the intake into a tee then to the boost gauge. I believe this was why I had a fuel spike in the first place Any opinions?

Edit* He also didn't know where to find a oil tap for the turbo so he unhooked my oil sensor. Which I said was fine for a temp. fix I would fix later, but what I didn't know was he JB welded his fitting in the sensor hole.

 

dam ive seen several of your thread that dude screwed a lot up. JB weld eh??
