Just thought some of you might want to see the new A-Team Turbo installed on our project 350hp 6.5
For a complete rundown on what has been going on and more pics check out the performance section of the site.
Nice to know the truck is still running great. Wish I could have been there, maybe if I ever get stationed in CA I will have a chance to attend and watch the truck run for once.
I like what you have done with your propane and water systems. It took me a lot of time to work out a safe effective amount of propane to add and at what boost pressure. Adding propane linear to boost pressure is the way to go but you do need to pay close attention to any odd sounds from the...
Sorry for not getting any new pics up I spent the day installing a new HID headlight system that ended up not working at all so I had to spend the rest of my time putting the factory system back together. As it stands I am going to try and get my fiance to take some pics tomorrow for me of the...
So I am working on a friends truck and installed a Xentec HID headlight system and it is having issues. Just wondering if anyone here has ever messed with one of these systems before.
Problems:
1. flickering of the lights.
2. turning off whenever they want
3. one side will work at times...
My main purpose behind using a blowoff valve was to limit unsafe peak boost pressure spikes. Anything over about 22 psi. I worked with a company to design coupler boots that also specializes in turbos and BOV's so I was planning on calling them tommorrow. Since all the drugs will not be used at...
Thanks for the info guys, I will let you know what we decide. Here is an update on the trucks progress. I will post pictures later today after my Seahawks play!
Nitrous system install 100% complete (not tested yet)
Snow MPG-Max Water/Meth 100% complete
Heath propane system 100% complete...
I think the turbo will be a big factor in our goal. Question for you, I PMd TD about this earlier and wanted to get your thoughts. With this non-wastegated turbo and the fact that we are adding nitrous, propane, and water/meth, do you think we should put a blow-off valve on the intake to help...
Finally got Ted's ATT back together from the ceramic coaters and then did a heat wrap on the exh. side and downpipe section. Compressor section has chromex and exh./downpipe has black velvet finish.
All of the coating was done by Performance Coatings, as for if they did the ID of the exh. manifolds I am not sure maybe the owner of the truck will comment here and let us know. The turbo is only and exterior coating plus I am putting on a turbo heat wrap kit on the exh. side of the turbo...
So I figured I would start giving updates as to the buildup of Teds truck. For those of you who read MaxxTorque magazine you might remember the article on "The Best 6.2 Rebuild". This is the truck that the motor went into.
Nitrous system install 100% complete (not tested yet)...
The truck is getting a ZEX nitrous system, in fact it is the same one I used on my truck when I worked with ZEX to come out with a good system for the 6.5, it takes care of any turbo lag off the line for sure and helps burn the added fuel such as propane and water/meth.
I got the ok from the...
