    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Well guys, she rips. Got everything buttoned up and started her up yesterday evening. Had a couple electrical issues because I'm a moron and shorted something out - blew some fuse links, but after fixing them she seems to be running well. I didn't richen up the IP pump as directed and I'm still...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    It's a great place, we went ATVing up there once, did a little swimming in the reservoir. On the chilly side. I'm sure you already know this but there are some great trails to the north east of BV. So, virtually everything is installed. I'm still missing a stud for the side bracket which...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    I'm to the north of BV, I live just to the south of Leadville on the flats off of 24. I drove over Tennessee Pass on the way home which is a little over 11k. Honestly, the truck wasn't too bad until I hit about 7500-8000ft. I seemed to do fine going up Battle Mountain on 24 as well (which I want...

    Garage doesn't have any 220 outlets... I've been told by some 110 will get me by. Debating running another circuit for a 220, sub panel has the open space.

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    A welder is on the list. This truck is supposed to be an excuse to buy one. I haven't quite reached the point where I need it yet but once I start modifying the front bumper/flat bed I definitely will. I'm hoping I can get the new exhaust through the hard rubber in those hangers. I appreciate...

    I talked to the Banks rep about that brass plug. He seemed concerned that it is misspeced. I did mention that the oil inlet block, which the stock oil pressure sending unit goes into, has the correct threads. Maybe future kits will have that rectified.

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Yeah, I'm kinda kicking myself a bit for not working on that issue first. The truck is a bear to start below 25 degrees if it isn't plugged in so I probably have some glow plug issues. The plugs are supposedly all new Motorcraft ones but I'm pretty sure the issue is somewhere in there. This...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Man I'm really looking forward to it. I picked this truck up in Vegas, and at close to sea level down there it had some good throttle response/get up and go. I live at 9600 ft in Colorado and it has lived in my garage pretty much the past two months since I got it as its such a dog at this...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Thanks for all the information guys! Last night I fooled with the alignment a little more (to the tune of 3 hours) and I eventually came to the conclusion that I am never going to have the turbo outlet/pressure chamber inlet aligned while at the same time having that side support bracket lined...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    I'm not so sure they are actually shutting this down. If anything I think it may be a sales pitch. I ordered mine at the end of January as they were supposed to go up in the price beginning of February. That price increase didn't happen and now it appears the "price increase" may be the end of March

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    ZF5. The brace on the tranny lined up perfectly. Its the brace that attaches to the glow plug controller/passenger side intake manifold that didn't line up on the turbo casting. Regarding the firewall I ripped that whole acoustic shield out like two weeks ago as it was crumbling/hanging down...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Thanks for the really detailed reply! So yes, after much hand wringing I decided to grind that foot off and it made a huge difference, I was able to move the pipe almost exactly where I need it. I also loosened the bolt and spun the intake down a hair so I could get things to line up. So far so...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    Yeah, I get where you're coming from. The manual had said nothing about that so I wrote it off. I just spent a little while grinding the foot down and refitting and grinding and refitting. If nothing else I seem to have a better, but not perfect, mate on the exhaust manifold/turbo casting. I am...

    As in turn the intake side down? To my knowledge no, there is nothing that I have seen in the manual about that.

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    The turbo foot with the turbo casting in place, 1st photo. Second and Third photos are the slightly misaligned bolts on the exhaust manifold with the turbo casting on top of them. Casting needs to drop down and towards driver side to get better alignment on the bolts, the foot on the casting in...

    Banks Turbo Install - Turbo and Pressure Chamber Not Lining Up

    I have a '91 F250 7.3 with a ZF5, I'm in the process of installing a Banks Wastegated Turbo Kit on it. I purchased the kit from Banks. Except for the continuing frustration where I have found over a dozen missing bolts, nuts, and washers thus far in the Banks provided kit (sealed fastener bag)...
