What size of turbo did you order?
Your last comment was, "A big single"

It's a 76mm we are doing some testing with, at this time I can't say what exactly it is. Hopefully soon though. I got a bunch of work done today. I'm shooting to get pics up this weekend for all you.

Where did you get your pistons from?
Did they happen to measure the bowls after the de-lipping?

The pistons in this truck came from elite diesel. So not sure on the exact demensions before/after. I had them coated locally.

I'm trying the end of this project is killing me haha...

Ok so I worked on the truck all day and I feel like I barley made it anywhere.

here are a few pics of the progress.

Strictly Diesel · Apr 28, 2016

Running yet?

Dieselmore · Apr 28, 2016

Nope

Been so busy at the ship haven't had time to work on it all week. I don't think I'll make it, and I don't want to rush anything. Maybe next year. Unless a miracle happens haha...

It runs!

Hotside cac tube is getting made then of to powder coat. Then a few small things to finish up under the hood.

Then we can strap it to the dyno and start working on the tuning.

It was nice finally meeting you as well.

Unless I can find some serious time to get out and race the truck, it will remain for sale. I hate looking at it just sitting here doing nothing most of the time.
