    Phazer gear drives will easily work for DB2's. Pics to show why!

    I called DSG the other way, talked a man who knew all about them and told me why they stopped making them. As most of us know, Pete Jackson made the first batch's, then after he went under, DSG found another company to make them, then one day, the owner said F*ck it, I am retiring and that was...

    Lift pump update-Dmax van setup and beyond!

    Well, a little over a year ago, I installed the Dmax van setup, it worked awesome, nice compact setup-the first container held the pump and a 10 micron prefilter, the 2nd was the regular Dmax filter, 2 micron. My only beef was it was a bitch to prime after filter changes, I also didn't get...

    My early Xmas present, some billet bling/porn, :p

    I lurk on the DSM forums and Talondave has maxed out the HX40 pro turbo, so they were looking for something bigger and found a company in Quebec that has a 66mm Billet extended tip HX40 wheel. Well having made a few bucks selling items, and wanting more flow at lower boost, I bit and bought this...

    WTB: Main and rod bearings-STD.

    Need some, they can be used, any year 6.2/6.5 is fine. Figured someone might have some before I hit up Ebay, damn local parts stores are more for the rods than both the rods and mains, grrrr.

    Replaced my billet 56mm wheel with a 60 mm billet extended tip wheel.

    Can't stop tinkering and also wanted to step up to a 60mm wheel to see what would happen, fingers crossed it was good, lol. Install was a nightmare, I was quoted a price to machine the compressor housing and they changed the price upon arrival, :mad2: So after waiting something like 5 months, I...

    My new billet toy!!

    I already have a factory billet 6 blade 56mm wheel but always wanted a billet 60mm wheel so I treated myself and bought this. I started off with a 7 blade HX35 wheel, then put the 6 blade on, made a noticeable difference in spool, more peak boost, lower IAT'S, lower cruising boost and lower...

    HOLY CRAP! Billet compressor wheel for the factory turbo.

    This isn't actually a bad idea, great if your on a budget. Would love to see some actual data on it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-to-2000-6-5-Liter-Chevrolet-Diesel-Billet-Extended-Tip-Compressor-Wheel-/191008387086?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c78fcb00e&vxp=mtr

    Anyone run an oil bypass setup in a 6.5?

    I put around 7500 km's on in 2 months or less, and I really don't like the "dirty oil" look of our diesels, so in doing some research, I can buy a Baldwin filter base for $40, Baldwin B50 filters for around $10 or less, some hoses and voila, done. I've seen the oil reports on diesel guys using...

    How much should I turn my pump up?

    Just bought a brand new DB2831 military pump, rated at 170 hp, I missed the turbo 200 hp version, :mad2: I don't want to keep messing with fueling so should I just give it an 1/8 of a turn? I guess the only difference between the 170 and 200 pumps are fueling. Can't wait to put this baby on and...

    Installed a Dmax van fuel pump/filter setup in my van.

    I was looking around for a reasonably priced combo setup as most are in the $400+ range, someone mentioned this so I gave it a try. It has a gerotor style pump ala gas intank pumps, housed in a 10 micron prefilter housing then a 2 micron post filter. Its regulated to 11 psi via a return line to...

    DB2 performance pump specs/tweaks.

    I found a shop who can calibrate any pump I build, so anyone have any specs over and above the stock pump that works. I need more timing or advance due to burning alternate fuels so if anyone has any ideas, thanks. :thumbsup:

    When is too much boost too much?

    Guess I'll try this here, waste of time on the other site, maybe its just me, :( I think it would be a good thread discussion, as in all the info in one thread, IE when is too much boost too much? In my case, stock 6.2 with stock compression, 6.5 head gaskets, studs, good exhaust setup, 20...

    Finally got around to installing the turbo in my van!!!

    OK, so I've been wanting to do this forever and finally bit the bullet and got it done. I honestly thought it would take me 4-6 hours but was I wrong, I think after it was all said and done, I am into it for 22 hours or so, sigh and still have some things to tweak. Turbo is an HX35W. I redid my...

    06 no start.

    Ok, I am still learning but know enough to be dangerous, lol. Truck was towed in, he said its been getting harder and harder to start over the last few months and finally today, temp around 3 deg c, it died. No codes, installed fuel pressure gauge inline and has 9-10 psi from the lift pump. I...

    Glow plug controller options?

    I have the small round/bullet style controller that sits on the rear of the drivers head, I am on my 3rd NEW one and getting pissed off, really tired of using starting fluid everyday, :mad2: so what are my options, manual is not one due to my wife driving it and the fact I will be selling it...

    Stalling and stumped!

    Ok, I guess a first time for everyone. I have a customers recently purchased 95 K1500 6.5 turbo diesel, code "S" engine with EGR. History unknown except he's had a Gray PMD installed with a cooler and I've noticed the injection pump has been replaced but when, who knows, but I would guess 4...

    New truck, 95 Supercab, 4x4, powerstroke-any recommendations for general performance?

    It needs injectors and a fuel pump which is why I got it, sooooooooo, I will be doing an intake filter system, turbo back exhaust so need something that won't drone, and any recommendations for injectors and a pump? I found Pensacola has 8 injectors, glow plugs and valve cover gaskets with a one...
