My point was to get as much as an upgrade without spending the big money. I don´t really need a bigger turbo, it´s just more fun to drive.. An added bonus of having the wicked wheel is that the turbo appears to be stock. I haven´t really gotten all the modifications approved by the authorities.. ;)

The story continued with getting the diamond eye exhaust and the new starter in place. I was very worried about breaking the bolts when trying to get the old crossover removed. A friend of mine recommended soaking the bolts in 50/50 ATF and acetone, and it worked like a charm! I gave it a couple...

It´s been a long while since I posted anything here now - as I mentioned earlier, I´ve been crazy busy with everything else than the Suburban. Luckily, she just keeps on working giving me very few problems! I wrote that I´d share the pictures from my gm8 turbo rebuild, so here goes.... This is...

Hi @FellowTraveler! So nice of you to ask! :) Hope everything is well with you and yours as well! I have to admit it´s quite a privilege to live in a tiny Northern European country these days. Even though covid obviously is making a great impact on our society, it is pretty much a walk in the...

Virus times are truly scary times. If only everyone thought like You did There!!

Good to hear! I honestly vant remember what I did, bug the turbo is still doing good! :) all is well in Norway, hope everythingis good at your side of the pound top! :)

I got a generic one from a local store.

I was more thinking about if There was somewhere i could actually tap a pwm signal related to fuel consumption. i have a computer system called utcomp installed for all my extra veg oil sensors that calculates consumption based on a pwm signal. :)

Does any of you wise guys know if there is a fuel consumption signal in pwm format there is possible to tap somewhere at all?

It´s a good point. Suppose I´m back to tracing sensor wires to see of the utcomp I have can calculate som mpgs for me. haha

haha, well that would explain it! I´d think that you could calculate the mpg from the commanded fuel rate to the IP - or would that maybe be far off? Not too bothered about the oil temp, to be honest. The fuel temp is much more interesting for my veg oil driving. :)

Been stuck between work and a flu the last week's. Found a project to do from the bed! While driving home from work the other day I suddenly had the engine light coming up, so I invested in a Bluetooth adapter and a cheap Android pad. When I drove to the store, I the HVAC blower stopped...

Ah, I´m glad to hear that! Would hate to be the party pooper!! :) I´ve just made a mental note to be skeptical to 94 parts. haha.

Hmmm...are You sure those Ips are interchangeable? I thought 94 was a oddball year? 🤔

The ad244 was a direct drop in for me. Same belt, no custom fabrication. I added a negative connection to the battery, but that was it. :)

Thanks so much for your ideas and thoughts! Sorry my reply has taken me some time. Life wanted a word or two with me again. *sigh* When I did my initial converting to veg oil I troubled with it for a long time, and thought the temps might be the issue, so I put quite some work into getting more...

Sometimes it is a good feeling to give in and have someone else do the work as well... I hope you get it all sorted on Monday! I have to say the install was much easier when I had a friend who wasn't afraid to be under the truck to help me. A bitt of wiggling back and forwards and we were good...

So, for a while I have been planning on re-routing a lot of my coolant lines in order to get faster warmups in the winter and more heat directed at the who system. The first thing I am planning on doing is to re-route the return hose from the heater to the radiator to go back to the water pump...

Glad to hear you made some progress! :) I am enjoying my ride these days - still listening to the starter that seems to behave nicer, playing with the turbo spool stick I mounted and trying to get the egt sensor to read in my onboard computer - but MAN, what a joy to drive the new car. It was...

So did I. The DE exhaust was probably this xmas´ easiest project on my part, haha. I did mount a EGT sensor in the exhaust manifold. Something is funky with the readings, though.
