    1953 Chrysler Imperial Turbo Diesel

    Yeah you gotta have a 2 or 3 stage powdercoat for the chrome to hold up in the sun, single stage is cheap once you get into 2 and 3 stage it's getting close to chrome in cost. Thanks guys.. you dont wanna know what I picked up today.. 1927 Studebaker.. she's pretty rough definitely going to be...

    I've gotta be sitting around half tank now so if its going to happen after bumping fuel press. up its gotta be soon.

    Lift pump going bad?

    Its a '97 p-pumped 12 valve, auto trans, and its in my '73 IH Travelall with 40gal tank, I've put nearly 4k miles on it without issue.. one thing I forgot to add was I installed a TorkTek OFV but even that has atleast 2k on it by now. The fuel psi gauge is an electric glowshift (couldnt beat the...

    Lift pump going bad?

    Went to CA to pick up a vehicle last weekend (horror story) on the way home we were headed up a pretty steep hill on i10 and noticed my fuel pressure gauge getting wonky I mean this thing was all over between 0 & 30 psi was running but definitely felt it bog down when the needle went to 0...

    This big girl must have been wanting to be a diesel for quite some time... CA plates stamped '63 and this is what came out of the fuel tank.

    OM606 swap questions

    I'm no expert but to my knowledge the OM606 were all electronic, you more than likely have an OM603 IP on there.

    1953 Chrysler Imperial Turbo Diesel

    I'm not sure but want to say head gaskets failures and cracked heads were common with those, read up years ago I've forgotten by now.. nevertheless I doubt I'd be able to find one I'm even having a hard time finding OM617s used to be able to find those whole cars for 1000 all day

    1953 Chrysler Imperial Turbo Diesel

    Similar goals as the Travelall, 20mpg and no PCM.. so pretty much narrows it down to diesel haha. Would love to find one at a reasonable price, even 6bt is out of our budget on this. I read some info recently on using OM606 with an OM603 ip, that can make some solid power just not sure its...

    1953 Chrysler Imperial Turbo Diesel

    Just scooped this baby up in Camarillo, CA yesterday, guy we picked it up from has 150+ classics, tons of 27-32 Tudors and Fordors. Told my boy I will work on this with him and not for him. Seeking atleast 20mpg and to be able to get out of its own way, any recommendations? I doubt an OM617...

    MazdaBishi Take 2

    I pulled 26mpg without a hood and no rear window yet, unbelievable! 130+ miles and tank only took 5.2 gallons.. cruising 60-65 certainly helps and oh yeah just now realized my front driveshaft is not connected (need to lengthen) I'd bet thats gonna take a toll on mpg

    MazdaBishi Take 2

    Couldn't tell you anything on turbo sizes but im sure just about any t3/t4 hybrid is going to be fun on there. Arizona Turbo & Tractor Supply used to sell reman'd turbos and rebuilds them, great deals and reviews, you might want to give them a call and/or see if you've got a similar local shop.

    Been driving around the past 3 days, front end rebuild is next on the major list after I take care of the small stuff. Had to hack of 4" or so off of the overload springs kept making contact with the body.

    Project: IDI International Travelall

    It definitely had a 2 piece with carrier bearing before we shortened the frame. I loaded it up with moly and will monitor hopefully no leaks for a bit, after replacing timing cover and oil pan gaskets im getting close to 50 psi oil pressure, its previous life in the dodge never went over 40 psi

    Project: IDI International Travelall

    Right on, I'll blast it full of moly, if I notice it still leaking I'll replace the seal. Thanks man! About to get out there right now.

    The beast lives! Wouldn't let me upload video, pulled CAC to mock up the radiator, hopefully get both back in tomorrow, and need to reclock the turbo.. after scooting the engine back with 24v mounts the charge pipe wants to hit my shock mount. Anyone know what's up with my slipyoke setup? It...

    Project: IDI International Travelall

    Been slacking on updates... Still got work to do, main thing is steering shaft needs to be lengthened. Started spraying the raptor liner through a 2.5mm hvlp, takes forever, 1 liter takes over an hour to spray and its only 1 hr potlife.. not sure if I'm going to send 10hrs making 1/2 batches...
