    Off topic BUILD FORUM

    Just throwing this out there to the mods and administrators A off topic automotive build forum would be a great add IMHO. Maybe even a non automotive build forum might be a unique little add for those that fab things that aren't car/truck related. for instance i have a 53' willys...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    just want to let you know you can make that down pipe that r&d offers, thats what he does, takes the stock ats downpipe, cuts the 2 1/2 inch flange off the downpipe (and far enough back that the diamater of the pipe is 3 inch) then weld on a v-band clamp. ive been thinking about doing this on...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    hahaha i think they invested most of there manufacturing time and resources into making it "look pretty" as for marketing benefit, but thats just my speculative opinion on SAME SIZE wheel upgrades that are "drop in" . Do you see a drastic difference in wheel fine design? I feel like the...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    I learn something new ever day! ^^^ thanks Russ do you think the "wicked wheel" differs from the upgrade you offer russ? Is it practically the same thing or did immense designing go into the "wicked"? I would be skeptical of anything off ebay as much of its china made as russ mentioned...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    i believe the "wicked wheel" is a TP38 (PSD) turbo wheel upgrade ive never heard of an ats wheel upgrade referred to as a "wicked wheel" maybe some one else has but cant say i have, i would question ANY ebay listing and its validity i believe those are garret turbos and they take...

    TO THE PEOPLE RUNNING SPECTRUM STYLE AIR FILTERS......

    Personally i would never run a "paper element" filter as i doubt their durability. Those filters are much lower quality than the oil cloth/metal mesh style of filter. What materiel is your stock f100 filter made of dieselcrawler? Id would expect it to be a reasonable quality cloth filter of...

    stanadyne DB4 vs modified DB2|||DB4 parts into a DB2? Marine pumps?

    i think it was a different, yet similar, article because the gentleman that wrote that article i read only used a $30 seal rebuild kit because he had a small leak. Worked great for him afterwards. He felt he could do the rebuild after reading a prior write up from a gentleman that did his own...

    TO THE PEOPLE RUNNING SPECTRUM STYLE AIR FILTERS......

    This formula is for compression of gas at atmospheric pressure - this is of no value to forced induction conversation; for a turbocharged application ALWAYS (with the except of no-load/idle) has higher than atmospheric pressure present in the intake, and cylinders. the "duh" after the...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    To help, I would need a better picture of the exhaust housing outlet side and down pipe. having an international tag i would say its probably the stock (ats) turbo.

    TO THE PEOPLE RUNNING SPECTRUM STYLE AIR FILTERS......

    Spectre makes a good filter and just because yours may have failed, does not mean you should tell EVERYONE not to use them. You don't see the guys that have had engine failure running around telling everyone not to buy a Navistar brand engine. It is incredibly common to have a product that...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    stanadyne DB4 vs modified DB2|||DB4 parts into a DB2? Marine pumps?

    I love running across stuff like this: I finished my reassembly and I got the pump installed back on the truck. After cranking for a while, (these IDIs take some time to bleed the injectors), she finally coughed, and I bled it some more, hit the manual glow plug button for a few seconds...

    stanadyne DB4 vs modified DB2|||DB4 parts into a DB2? Marine pumps?

    thanks, i have already watched that, it says two tests are being performed: max fuel and fuel cut off at high idle. i see no "tuning" occurring. All i can really take from the vid is that they're "bench testing" it. ------------------------ Mel, so that we may all have abetter...

    stanadyne DB4 vs modified DB2|||DB4 parts into a DB2? Marine pumps?

    So your saying a db4 cam ring would have to be purchased and installed with the db4 four roller rotor? i did notice db4's are easier to find in 6 cylinder applications (seems like a lot of john deer tractors had them?), they do and did offer 8 cylinder pumps. the 8 cylinder db4 has a 320 hp...

    Russ ill have to find my book of notes and see if i have the part number in there. derjackistweg yeah turbo failure can definitely lead to engine failure. The quality parts distributors that ive found offer their wheels "pre balanced" honestly the rest of the assembly is already balanced and...
