Short video I made with my runs from the weekend. The second run is the fastest, 17.1.

Update for y'all. Got my T4 y-pipe thing in the mail, $45 from EBay. The pipes are 2.5" so I have to get them down to 2" but that shouldn't be too hard. Other than that, nothing to mention really. I trailered the truck down to Englishtown NJ for Diesel Nats and participated in the bracket...

Some progress on up pipes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good info there guys, thanks for the insight. I have some ideas for making the manifold flow well, fit well, etc. I am drawing inspiration slightly from a 6.4 PSD intake, but also now looking at the Banks 6.6 setup, I like the looks of that as well. The trick of course is going to be making room...

You're on it. The joining of the runners (logs) will be centered to flow as evenly as possible. And if my ideas work, it will be "reversible" to either point rearwards to face the turbo, or frontwards to face the rad/IC.

So there is the need for some calculating to ensure that I use appropriately-sized material for the intake. I won't get too in-depth about how its going to look when its done - partially because even I am not sure how it will look - but I need to make sure the material is big enough to flow what...

Let's revive this thread, shall we? Work has commenced on building an OEM-appearing center mount turbo setup. I took my van manifolds to a local machinist who touched up the faces of the v-band flanges and cut the rear faces to sit better in the clamp. Appears to seal well so far. Flanges are...

...for $150 I couldn't say no! Found it on Craigslist, advertised as a low mileage engine removed from a CUCV Blazer. Appears to be in good shape. No oil leaks, paint on the oil pan and block, nothing visibly broken. The idea is to strip it to a long block to use to build a center mount turbo...

Upper hose has pressure, guess it just needed run time and heat cycles to work itself out. Update/thoughts on cooling system upgrades. IT ROCKS! I took the truck on a 700 mile trip to PA and back a couple weeks ago, and it did phenomenal. Well, losing the master cylinder and having no brakes...

Nope, not sure how? Fwiw, one is a Gates cap and the other is from Heath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've tried 2 new caps and it's the same. I'll put a new tank on it at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turns out it was PS fluid not water. No drips from the cooling system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So one thing I had wanted to do was install secondary gauges for water temp and oil pressure. The factory gauges are fairly accurate, but mine suffer from a collective voltage drop when the lights are turned on, turn signal, etc. I have had excellent luck with the Auto Meters on the pillar, so I...

Nope, only thing left I can think of is try a different coolant tank in case there is leakage when the cap is in that is circumvented by the design of the "cap" part of the pressure tester. Held pressure fine when pressurized, but no pressure on its own. No leaks, runs correct temp, has good...

Okay so here is a more in-depth synopsis of whats going on with the truck. This morning I went out to start it, parked nose down. I cracked the bleeder, got water. Drove the truck 20 miles to school, temps all over the place just like yesterday. Got to school, cracked bleeder.. water. Let the...

Okay so we pressurized it to 16 psi. Holds fine. Upper rad hose is solid as a rock. I guess I'll try a different cap and see. The temps have mellowed out today and are much more consistent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Roger that. When I squeeze the upper rad hose I can hear it "breathing" in the coolant jug Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Video showing the lack of upper hose pressure and what i get if I bleed it. Im gonna pressure test it tomorrow. I have another set of stats to put in it if needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do you think of the whole no pressure thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
