New Stuff

[mat50ho]

Wire clean up Looks nice, I am intrestead to see how the new converter works...

[zbrown]

thanks man, i am excited too

it will be interesting because it is amazing the car was running what it was as is.

anyone there saw me puking oil on the topend and roasting my fluid, and pushing through the converter

well problem was the stator support tube was pressed into the pump clocked wrong and the one oil passage was completely blocked off

meaning no oil could leave the converter, haha

[zbrown]

may be rice, but this excites me

looks nice. any idea's what size turbo your going to go with? i upgraded mine to a borg warner st80. did you make the rear sway bar yourself?

[zbrown]

thanks

yeah i built the bar, got the parts for it off mcmastercarr. love that place

mmm turbo will still probably be an 88 compressor, just bigger turbine, probably gt55 size turbine

i am a turbo whore, that is the only reason i am changing haha

Your PT114 is scheduled to be delivered today, I'll get it shipped out to you this afternoon.

[zbrown]

Your direct port spool up kit will be delivered later this week as well.

[legacy-user-3898]

Does the pt114 spool that slowly?

Yeah they would use an F or G trim turbine at 130mm. It would roll once moving though haha

[zbrown]

and here is the idea, 3" of dust so maybe doesn't look the best in the pics but in real life really nice

[King Ricer]

looks great!!

Why did you put the axle ARB mounts on the front of the tube and not on the preferable location, the top?

No room. I wasnt going to cut the floor out of the car or i might aswell back half it

This is the one place possible to mount it and fit with the stock tank and no cutting on vehicle

[legacy-user-3898]

are you going for more of a show car or race car? lol looks good tho

[zbrown]

probably a little beefy but happy with how it is in there

and wheel turned to lock

[zbrown]

this big fucker came, it is way bigger than i thought it was going to be.... lucky it fits, sorta. haha

it weighs 46lbs, 29 of that is the turbine housing

the turbine is a bit ridiculous haha, 111mm turbine. has nice billet aluminum backing plate

also started on the charge piping. could of just got rid of the cross pipe, decided i wanted to keep it, i bent the pipe in where it is open flush with the channel iron and welded that too

charge pipe will come out of IC and up like so

[MisterCMK]

So does the car have more turbo than the truck yet?

[zbrown]

ha i made the cummins NA

love the way this turned out, makes me happy!

next is turbo, I am waiting on a t6 flange then it is game time

[zbrown]

got alot done

first thing i did was build a drain box for the turbo, everybody likes a happy drainage, haha

here we have the intercooler setup done

turbo is all done and mounted, charge piping all done, intake done, exhaust is only thing left

on the charge piping i used hump hoses since the charge pipes are short and i use rubber engine mounts

i would usually weld the elbow on the turbo but i can pull the bearing housing and compressor out of the turbine housing if i would do that without dropping the IC

not a biggie i guess, just an extra coupler, haha
