I have the early cam gear, looks like I'll be looking for a balanced one. Im headed to justins shop later today, I'll be taking my cam with me. I think I read somewhere about about balancing the crank as well.
Thanks, its a late 85' block. The nozzles are bolt on, I've been looking for one actually due to one of them being broken. Anyone know where to purchase piston cooling nozzles? Also been looking for precups, 2 of them are chipped, but I think those are extinct.
Thanks for that. My goal is to build up the 6.9 but I dont want to use the original parts if they are inferior to what else is available or what was improved for the 7.3. Most builds I read are posted pipe dreams so im gathering info and parts overtime until my build is realistic. My current...
The block is a late 85'. Im on the fence about boring and sleeving, I like the thought of more steel around the pistons. But forged rods? Hmmm.... who makes them?
Yep, I found the info I needed. The rockers and the cam they ride on is a much better design and gets rid of the old 6.9 aluminum bridges. Maybe the pushrods also but they are getting replaced anyway and I dont think you can buy the old ones any more. Thanks guys. If you can think of anything...
Yeah sorry, let me rephrase. I know the 7.3 has some stronger internals over the 6.9, I just cant find what they were in the search bar. I believe Gary explained it once, but that was before I had a complete 6.9 sitting in my shop so it went over my head.
The pic on the left is a 2000 psd. Justins setup from r&d on the right. Other than the goofy EM on justin's setup, I really dont think you could cram a simpler, better setup in our trucks.
R&D has 3/8" exhaust flanges on his website for 40$. They're not stainless but what the heck. Also, his turbo pedestal and inlet is about as good as it gets. That is if you can shoehorn some pipe back there.
Its a banks kit with an older rebuilt to4b non WG turbo, a 150$ cx racing intercooler from ebay and my fabed intake hat, nothin fancy. Banks will sell you pieces of there kit for a reasonable price. I basically bought there entire sidewinder kit minus their turbo and muffler for about 800$
Grey, ceriated tungsten. I welded a collar on the inside so I could double gasket it. So it has a 5"id. and a 5"od. O ring and it doesn't seep a drop of oil at 9lbs of boost. I can definitely glue some aluminum together, I just cant stack dimes or anything so a grinder and some paint are always...
I say make your own hat. Here is an intake hat I fabed to accommodate my intercooler. Its made from 5"dia. aluminum pipe. I suck at welding aluminum, but it turned out great and works awesome.
