Anyone recognize this turbo setup?

I'm thinking it was custom build but hard to tell.

Did @1mouse3 build that manifold?

Does it only feed the turbo from one bank of cylinders? Or is it supposed to be a twin turbo setup?

Looks like the passenger side crosses under the bellhousing.

Oh yeah, I see it now. Looks custom made to me. Wonder how it works.

Looks like a homebrew setup that uses a turbo off a 2ndgen dodge (hx35?)

I reckon theres a crossover pipe under the engine. Similar to how a GM 6.5turbo is done.

You'd better buy that super rare adapter plate that mates the Chevy ZF5 to a 6.9!

Definitely homegrown, the ZF5 would be nice to have laying around collecting dust.

Yes it would.

Chevy ZF5!? Damn. Most all 2500/3500 GMT400s that I have crawled under had NV4500s, 6.5s, 350s, and 454s. Course, there are 4 speeds in the older ones, but any with a 5 speed that I’ve been around were NV4500s. Even the ones I haven’t crawled under would have to be NV4500s, a ZF5 shifts notchy, a 4 speed like an NP or SM465 or a T18/19 shifts unrestricted or open, and an NV4500 shifts smooth, but kinda pushes back. Very hard to make one grind in my experience, ZF5s seems like they’ll grind gears easily. Getrags are… kinda loose but not really open, they have always reminded me of a big rig tranny.

This is all in my limited experience, which does NOT mean much, others may have experienced otherwise.

I could easily be wrong, I’m not saying Chevy ZF5s don’t exist, but that looks just like the adapter I took off my 6.9 block a few days ago, and that ZF5s bolt pattern looks just like the bolt pattern on the ZF5s I have, and my T19 from my white truck. I don’t think that’s a Chevy tranny.

The ZF6 was used behind the Duramax in its early years, 01 through 04 maybe? So I could believe that there is such a thing as a Chevy ZF5, but I’m doubtful

 

[david85]

Honestly, the only thing I might be interested in is the 6.9 engine. I'm looking for core to keep as a spare.

I have a sneaking suspension that @IDIBRONCO was using what's called "humor", and that the guy selling the stuff doesn't have a clue.

I am not good at knowing whether or not someone is joking, please excuse my crappy social skills

You very well may be right since all Ford application IDIs had an adapter plate.

Don't worry about it. My sense of humor is often skewed, understated, twisted, and otherwise off colored. I also LOVE irony.
