Red Truck build...part 5

[powerstrokedkid87]

You're running 3.73s I assume. How did your old setup spool with those big 38s?

yea still running stock gears....truck ran really well with the 66/71....spooled around 2000k IIRC......was fine for daily driving....original plan was divided up pipes and a t4 rather than the t3..would have improved the drivablility even more...but i got bored with a single set up..and craig made this set up look so tempting, i had to do it.

well the first package finally came in, set of steeds, up pipes, and some turbo piping....the rest should be here today! gona be a busy week ahead of me

Sweet :redspotdance:


looking forward to some progress when you can get all the parts. Probably won't make it to any of those events except for nationals at Englishtown and the XDP day, but really looking forward to seeing the new changes and what numbers you can get out of it!

I got two turbos yesterday, just waiting on one final "Big Package" from craig which should be the last pieces of piping, fittings, injectors, ect....hope to have these over the weekend.....

All i can say is its going to be a late week comming up for sure!

some progress this weekend.....got the steed manifolds on, MPD up pipes on, and started messing around with clocking the 66. Rest of the parts should be here wednesday. Planning to have this truck on the road this weekend! More pics and updats to come.

tonight il try and pull out the old down pipe....and finish mounting the turbo..

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

Got some more work done last night, injectors are in, started clocking and mounting turbos....starting to look like something

pass side injectors in, all buttoned back up

Driver side injectors in, and buttoned up

changing the exhaust housing on the 480

Quickly mounted the 480 in place.....long way to go, but progress!

That's the built in MPD speed limiter to avoid liability


Least it is up and running, some trouble shooting and hopefully you will be burning the tires off in no time.

It's ok mawkk even if you dyno'd it yesterday the numbers would have been off cause that dyno must be messed up LOL LOL

Looks like its going to be a Blow off Valve issue, gta get some customer trucks out of the way, and il get to it. Hopefully tonight if i have some time.

finally fot the blow off valve hooked back up, trucks build boost great now. Next is to load up the tunes, and spend some time under the hood cleaning everything up

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

:redspotdance::redspotdance::redspotdance:


Now time to turn some 38's from a solid to a gas form LOL

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

got all the boost leaks fixed last night, and the new oil drain fitting with a new gasket did the trick on the oil leak. Ran the truck last night, and what a difference it was.

here is a quick video this was on a mild tune
