I’ve been doing some research and I found a pretty informative video about the oiling system of turbos. In there it says that one contributing factor to finding oil in either the intake or exhaust side of your turbo is excessive engine blow by or, if you have a larger turbo (they specifically...
While I had the intake piping off, I checked for shaft play on the impeller shaft and did not feel any. As far as turbo seals, what would cause those to fail (besides a dirty intake filter)? I ran the filter that came with the kit for about 50k miles. I then switched to the Donaldson B085011...
I’ve had the MPD budget 364.5 kit with full piping and CCV kit on my truck now for 100k miles. I did a boost leak test on the truck as it felt like it wasn’t running as well as it did when I initially installed the kit. Well, when I pulled the intake piping off the turbo inlet I found what I...
When Ford was having issues with their oil filters for the 6.7 I started using the Donaldson P502503 oil filters. They have a better micron eating than stock and also have a silicone ADBV. I found them 3-pack for $49 on Amazon. They’re all I use still to this day. All the specs here...
My ABS module (machined aluminum block) appears to be leaking brake fluid. So pouring out of it but after a one hour drive to work I can see it starting to run down the spring perch onto my 3-link arms. It looks like it’s coming from one of the two hard line fittings on top of the module. Is...
I’ve got 330k on the clock and she’s paid off so I’m looking to shoot for the 1k HP mark. Now, I know this is a lofty goal but I’d like to reach as close too (or over) it as I can. What engine internals and transmission work needs to be done to keep it from spitting a rod or toasting the trans...
Has anyone had this experience? Installed a Fabtech drop pitman arm along with a Ready Lift track bar drop bracket this weekend and when I try to turn full left or right the pitman arm hits the track bar bracket. I’ve already verified that I have the correct part #s and made absolutely sure...
How big of a variance from command pressure vs actual pressure would affect performance? Couple hundred psi or 1k psi or more? Also, what do I need to monitor on the trans for what is causing 3rd to 4th shift flare?
I have it on my truck. It won’t eliminate drips if routed to atmosphere. I have mine ran to a filtered catch can mounted to my frame. I drain that once a week. I’d say 10-15 drops of oil maybe.
So I have the MPD 64.5 kit with full piping, tuning by NL. When I try to give it full throttle it initially feels like it’s making good power and then it feels like there’s a stall. Almost as if I was letting off the throttle a bit. As soon as it shifts to the next gear it feels like it’s...
