I will try and get pics posted this weekend. Had a very hectic couple of weeks at work. Mileage improvement is hard to say havnt really messed with tracking it since after the swap as i had been trying to get my fueling set right and was doing alot of full tilt runs checking egts. My welded oil...

Last fall I did what you are talking about. I run a holset hx35w on a banks manifold setup on an 85 with a 95 style serpentine setup. This isnt plug and play although there was not as much fabbing as you may think. Because of my OCD I didnt want to cut off the compressor outlet flange on my...

There is an extra raised portion of the casting and tapped hole by the motor mount plate that the non-optimizer blocks dont have see the pic The above motor is mine dont have a comparison photo if someone else has one post it up.

They sell a plate adapter that sandwiches in between the Manifold and Turbo flange. The biggest question is whether or not your turbo exhaust housing is setup to take advantage of it. IIRC... The cummins 6bt has a split manifold that is sequenced so that Every sequential exhaust pulse...

I have had best luck with the Dayco Premium Belts. I used everything from a 99 inch belt to a 101 inch belt with the vacuum pump delete. Think I am currently running a 100 or 100.5 inch Dayco belt but it too after 4-5000 miles has started stretching and the tensioner is no longer within the...

I agree, Was getting frustrated so just decided to make it work, I will probably end up running down to Fastenal and pick up 4 equal length bolts, I was hoping to have my exhaust flange in and wanted it in driveable condition to test the turbo out. But looks like its gonna be this weekend...

I finally got around to installing the fluidampr that I had bought several months ago. Initially I was impressed but ran into some issues. Several claims have been made about them including a quieter smoother running engine. Eyes and ears can be deceiving so I figured I would borrow a decibel...

One more thing to mention is that the Bellhousing, Motor Mount, and Flexplate Flywheel bolts are Metric not SAE, The Oil pump stud is different too but dont know if its similar to squirt block vintage motors as this is the first one that I have tore into. Dont know what year model you have but...

Cool, guess i should have read more slowly :) Thought you were having other issues with it.

The diesel bellhousings are different from the gasoline bellhousings on an NV4500. A 6.x starter wont fit without relieving some material out of the bellhousing. It will keep your starter from seating properly. I suspect that you have a workable setup but check the clearance between the...

I got the parts ordered up last night, Thanks for the link midnite. Ordered the Turbo Oil Supply line too. I ordered 3 different sizes of 1/4 NPTF to SAE 45 adapters since the only reference to size that I could find to them under the GM Part number for them was that it was a 1/4 NPTF by...

The HX35W that I have has a 3 inch v-band outlet, I am piecing together a downpipe from pieces of a duramax exhaust that I have. and about a 2 foot piece of the original banks turbo downpipe. I have alot more room to play with regarding down pipe since the banks 6.2 manifold mounts the turbo...

Ask and receive, Its an 1985 Suburb (alanche). Motor is a late 2000 GEP Optimizer block out of a Humvee. I rebuilt the motor last year or about 2000 miles ago. I am using the banks 6.2 diesel Exhaust manifold and some of the parts from the kit. I sandblasted the manifold(s) and turbine...

I am in the middle of swapping an HX35W on my truck. My questions are about the Oil Feed lines. I know that the thread pitch on the CHRA for the HX35 series turbos is an M12x1.5 oring fitting. Does the stock 6.5 turbo oil feed line thread into this or did you have to use an adapter...

I know this post is three months old but since no one else replied here is my two cents. The only screw that I would mess with is the Fuel Screw. Alot of people feel that messing the inlet screw gives them more power. It can but all it does is advance the timing on the injection pump by...
