That's awesome! Crazy how well they'll run only to find out they're broke! Lol

Who makes that vice?

 

[lincolnlocker]

do those u joints have needle bearings in them? by the looks of it on my phone, it is steel on steel? prolly the reason they all have zerks in them...


what did you have to do to the axle?

holy chit at that piston!

U joints have a bronze bushing.

Reason for that is so the ears on the u joint can be bigger.

Bushing takes up less room then a needle bearing under the cap.

Ya have to machine OMG shafts to accept a full circle snap ring.

OEM use "C" clip snap rings.....they have a tendency to pop out under extreme use.

I'd say his truck is in the extreme use category lol

Yeah, I had to machine the stub shafts since there are no aftermarket ones for a new style super 60. And there are zero bushings/bearings. They are steel on steel. Not for highway use.

Nice!! you're a handy lil fella!

OK I gotta ask. Why do you think the skirt broke? Rpms?

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

Idk. Cast factory style pistons are not meant for what I put them through. Forged are a LOT stronger.

In their home

Here is how the new setup is going to run. Big thanks to Jared for hooking me up with those sweet RCD tube manifolds and HD up-pipes! These are beyond gorgeous! Plus they made less work for me to build on the new setup. The turbo is moved out front to allow the mammoth hx82 fit without cutting a hole in the hood. It will also make it easy to swap turbos back and forth for different classes.
So far I am way happier with this setup than the old one.

Got it all in and was able to fire it up! It has the 2.6 charger on it in the video. But I am hoping to pull next weekend so I have a lot of work to do still!

Looks awesome Morgan. You've been putting in some time it looks like

I'm surprised you didn't flip the manifolds around, and shorten the plumbing. Good luck with the new setup. The progress looks great though.

I really wanted to. But that would have required me to move the dual pumps and alternator. And that was not gonna happen! Thanks though. I wish I could have done it without all the runner length. But I spool at 5500 rpm so it should still be moving plenty of air to light that turbo. Never had a problem before so it should be fine. And it's super easy to work on now with a completely open valley.

Haha, I'm high on life my freind!

But yes, this time of year all I do is work. 7 days a week 12-16 hours a day. We are also adding on to the building and I have a newborn at home. Sleep is non existent.

 

[ncollins64]

Can't wait to come up and see the new addition. It looks huge
