    How to set the timing on your 6.9 or 7.3 IDI and how to buy timing equipment.

    I got the last part of the timing package for these engines today. The timing light. And I have a large hard case to store it all in. I have an excellent wife! Besides. She wants to see this truck run again AND wants a ride.

    Supercapacitor/Ultracapacitor starting bank

    The studded caps would be a better option in my opinion. 1/8" thickness is too thick to spot weld. And I'm not too sure that aluminum would spot weld properly even if the connecting strap is thin enough.

    They cant be spot welded with a spot welder that is designed to spot weld battery packs together? I have a spot welder that is designed for things like this.

    Air to Water Intercooler

    Thank you asmith! I cheaped out and bought the 2 1/2" intake hat. Mainly because it can be rotated and that may help with alignment. And of course I have several hundred bucks in parts to be used to put this puzzle together. Also have a 90cc Moose pump that Wes sold me. I can't wait to drive...

    True. Graphite conducts electricity. So in theory drawing that line can cause all kinds of hell to break loose. And very not likely that the engine will run. At least not well enough to get home.

    Air to Water Intercooler

    I have a serious urge to mount the radiator for the intercooler under the truck. I think it's doable and can be adequately protected. If this can be done it will get that extra heat somewhere other than in front of the radiator for the engine. And simplify some things. It would be mounted at an...

    Wes@ Classic Diesel Designs sells a 2 1/2" intake hat. Just bought one. This should flow better than the snail intake hat and likely make the connection to the intercooler easier.

    Update. Air to liquid intercooler kit from Frozenboost will be here tomorrow Monday 4-12. Waiting on injectors from Wes @ Classic Diesel Designs. But I have brake parts here for the rear that need to be taken care of before I can move the truck from one side of the house to the other. One of the...

    Air to Water Intercooler

    Given the short pipe runs I think I am going to go with a 3 inch intercooler and piping. May check with a local machine shop about welding a 3 inch stub on the intake manifold. It's possible that the charge to do that won't break the bank.

    You just answered my question. Thank you!

    Air to Water Intercooler

    The reason I am questioning a 3" inlet and outlet intercooler. I'm not going drag racing so turbo lag may be a non-issue. It would go from 2.25" to 3.0" and back to 2.25". So maybe little lag. This is partially what Asmith has done. With the exception that he has a 3" inlet on the intake...

    Air to Water Intercooler

    I see in Asmiths post that he went with a 3 inch intercooler. 2 1/4 out of the turbo into a 3 inch intercooler. And of course the modified intake manifold with a 3 inch inlet. I'm wondering if this induces turbo lag. Or if the lag if present is insignificant. Knowing the nswer to this will...
