6.0.4 revisited

[TheReelMuhcoy]

Gaskets came in yesterday. Finished up some loose ends and have started to bolt up the manifolds for good. I started to work on the drivers side when I realized I forgot about the exhaust back pressure sensor. I plan to tap it into the 6.4 manifold, but I was hoping that someone could confirm for me that I need the EBP sensor. For some reason I remember someone telling me that the 6.0's programming ditched the use of the EBP sensor.

The vgt uses that signal from the back pressure sensor for vane position.

Depends on the strategy. Not all of them use it, but some do. Maybe talk to one of the tuners to get that nailed down.

I taped the 6.4 manifold for the EBP sensor just to have it anyway.

Here is today's finish point, should be ready to start it up by wednesday night assuming a couple parts show up as expected.

Looking good!!

Another photo update. Tomorrow I hope to make the pre-turbo piping and then finish all the welds. Wednesdays schedule should be connecting all the electronics up and then connecting the down-pipe to the exhaust then cross my fingers.

Man I like it. A bit jealous too!!!

Nice, you can almost say you were the first to successfully do this.. :ford:

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

What are you doing for an air intake and VGT?

 

[08SUPERKING]

Best of luck and hope you hard work pays off with a mean 6.0.4....

wow.

Cant really tell.. But how much room is available for piping to the compressor inlet? Looks extremely tight

 

[strokin6L]

Maybe I missed it...but were is the coolant tank going? I'm sure it'll be an aftermarket one like a Canton tank right?

 

[TheReelMuhcoy]

Yes compressor inlet pipe will be very tight. I am not 100% certain yet but I my try to sneak it between the oil filter and intake elbow to the manifold, and maintain stock location (obviously different orientation though).

As for the coolant tank, it will not be moving but, I will be fabing one tonight from aluminum plate.

Thanks for all the support fella's!!

That is a beauty!!! How long till start up?

Oh and I hope I didn't miss it but, who's tuning are you using?

I hope to have it running tomorrow night, but that may be delayed, my pregnant wife is having a craving and demanding we go out to eat..

I have no idea whose tuning I will use. I wil need to use someone who is close/willing to travel to live time the setup. First I need to get the electrics finished.

Innovative Diesel it is..

 

[TheReelMuhcoy]

All the piping is tack welded, but I ran out of gas. No, literally, I ran out of argon gas :fustrate: Tomorrow is another day... I am really starting to get a hang of TIGing, too bad i will have perfected my technique by the end of this project. :shrug:

Here is a couple photo's of tonight's work including a better shot of the last image of the engine compartment.

Is that the stock 6.0 intercooler? No issues if it's piped backwards?
