Thanks guys, it’s coming together! Truck is scheduled for the dyno this Thursday and the trans is showing a Tuesday arrival on the tracking, going to see if I can intercept it at the warehouse in San Antonio to get it a day early. In the meantime I reinstalled the stock trans to get measurements...
Its not going to not work if you put it on, but its really far from ideal for a number of reasons, I dont know what your goals are for performance or boost levels, but that compressor wheel flows pretty close to a standard stock factory turbo cold side which is pretty small already for our...
This is a 5069 pump, so it is for a factory turbo spec. Here is the calibrations specs for a 5069 (turbo) and a 4821 (non turbo)
This pump has been maxed out on the fueling adjustment so it delivers quite a bit more than the 5069 spec calls for, I haven’t run it on a test stand myself but I...
While I had the rear wheels off I fixed something that had been really annoying when driving the truck with the windows down, the center caps were loose on these wheels and would rattle like the truck was ready to fall apart at slow speeds. I used my exhaust expanded to swage the center caps and...
The other day I got the rear end pulled apart, taking measurements on the gear back lash and wear marks on the factory gear. Interesting that this one had a tag for limited slip but has an open carrier.
While I had the axles and carrier out everything got a good degreasing.
Cleaned up...
I would plug the return port in the filter head if you have it, I do it on all e pump setups since the e pump has a much easier time pushing air out of the system than the stock pump.
Really return volume at different loads and rpms comes down to the pump, especially the advance piston wear. You may see the most at idle or the most at low load but high rpm, or high load high rpms, just depends on the pumps condition and efficiency.
Yes I am a fan of ceramic coating our exhaust components to prevent rusting and really help keep the heat in. My material is actually a cerakote, same stuff justin uses on his turbo kits and it holds up significantly better than your typical ceramic coating, but anything is better than nothing...
I don’t know, I’ve seen several there and the location makes sense. On the na trucks the ground strap goes to the back of that cylinder head where the up pipe goes in front of, if it’s not that, then what is it for?
The only affect it has on injectors is increased wear with the lack of lubricity, modern diesel is much more harsh on the injection pump than the injectors which are fairly simple devices. The injection pump relies on the fuel for the hydraulic advance, lubrication of bearings, cooling and of...
If it turns out that the reading is accurate and you’re maxed out on your advance adjustment you can make a few modifications to hydraulically advance your timing, one being breaking out the ball in the return fitting to lower your housing pressure, which should net you a few degrees across the...
Got the trans and transfer case pulled out, power washed, blasted and washed them again before hitting them with a light coating off paint to prevent corrosion and help keep them clean.
Still waiting on the hydroboost parts from bosch, so went ahead and got started on the intercooler...
