So here are some of the new parts I had made up along with the new silicon couplers I got in today for the intake. I had all braided stainless fuel lines made for the FTB mod and will be relocating the filter housing next to the master cylinder. The other larger braided line is the new turbo oil...

I have had them on both the downpipe and in the x-pipe and found the temp difference between the two is not worth worrying about. The x-pipe is just easier to mount a thermocouple to. Also I only wrapped the small section of downpipe from the turbo to the flange of the new downpipe to reduce...

I think all of us just want to see the 6.5 get as much respect as it can get. If that be by land speed records or HP records it really doesn't matter. These trucks have been used for so many different things over the years and are an afterthought to many late model drivers. So if we can show a...

That would be funny but I don't think a K3500 would do that very well. Plus Bill is after speed, I am after RWHP. It will be an interesting truck when it is done, even if it doesn't set a new record.

I would say yes to that. Being as limited as we are on diesel I had to use other sources of fuel. The trick is using the correct amounts so you don't break your motor. I am sure I could have got more HP but I still had to drive that truck home from Montana to Washington so I ran it lean on the...

Here are some pics I promised of the turbo installed and some of the fab work needed to get the braided oil return line to fit. I am also having to modify the aFe intake to get it to fit correctly. The other pictures are the new Snow water/meth pump they sent over with a shield we built for it...

I did it with a custom built 6.2/6.5 engine, ceramic coated pistons, balanced rotating assembly, ARP head studs, HO-Inj., Heath Prom, HO-lift pump, GM-4 turbo w/ Turbo-Master, aFe stage 2 intake, turbo back exhaust (3" downpipe, 4" the rest of the way), Heath x-pipe, proportional vapor propane...

Nice job, good to see what other 6.5 guys are doing. Anything over 200rwhp is an accomplishment. So congratulations!

Yeah I would have done that but the GM-8 was outfitted with a different return line and -8 fittings on the block and the turbo so I had to stick with this new design, plus we are going with a custom braided stainless line. I will show the fab work tonight I hope when I get it done. I am having...

Just wanted to give an update as to project 350hp. I have been working on the ATT but it has been giving be a bit of a fit. Not because of the turbo but because of the new oil return line off of the turbo, we opted to go with a line that didn't go through the manifold. This worked great on the...

Can't wait to hear the results, I am also working on a project truck with the ATT but we are going for a new HP record. However HP and Torque go hand in hand with towing so we will see how it does. All the best to you. Ian

I talked with Matt Snow recently and was informed that they just came out with a new improved pump which he sent me and is in fact much better along with the lowering of prices. Are you running a 2 stage system or could you settle for a single stage? Send me a privite message to answer this one...

Ok, a lot of questions so I will do my best here. The program is not a KOJO flash, it is just an off the shelf on from a local company. The coupler that came with the ATT is just fine for the boost we would be using it for, especially on a straight application like it was intended be with...

Nope, just another one

I would stick with just working on your own rig. Doing it for a living can take some of the fun out of it. I enjoy it much more now that I can do it in my own time.

No we are using another company's PCM reflash.

It was, I owe all of my diesel knowledge to him and Todd.

I couldn't agree more. That is why I have enlisted the help of Ted @ boostcontroller.com to supply new 4-ply 90 degree coupler and clamps. This should help with any issues in that regard. I also wanted to touch back on the issue of using a BOV. I have spoken with Ted @ boostcontroller.com...

Hey Todd, The owner of the truck wanted that marine intake manifold do to its larger ID, plus he had it extrude honed for better air flow. When we where talking the other day we both thought as you did and would have liked to have it facing forward but it was not designed to do that so we are...

I have had a lot of experience with injectors when I worked for Heath. I am not sure about the penscola diesel injectors but if you go with the Heath ones you are getting brand new bodies and nozzles that are all pressure matched. Other companies and I am talking about almost all of them out...
