It's not exactly drop in, the first obstacle was the exhaust down pipe, it comes with a adapter to connect the 61mm to the banks down pipe. It seams the adapter could gave been made with a double flanges so it could have been just clamped on.
But it needs to be welded on, I have a mig welder, and I am a grinder and not a welder unfortunately, so this took me quite a while to weld and grind to work.
Next was the oil drain tube, the banks is metric and the 61mm garret is sae/american, 3/8" bolt holes, a easy fix I just drilled out the hole in the drain tube.
The banks comes with a block plate for the oil feed, this will bolt up with same bolt holes, the Garrett is sae, banks is metric no big deal so I just bought the right size bolts.
The next issues was the intake, the banks is 3" and the 61mm cdd is 4" I thought I was going to run a whole new intake tube and run it over to the fender, but the injection line is in the way.
So I started looking at my old banks system, and figure out I would have to use part of it. So I would need a 4x3 intercooler adapter. I went to the plumbing store to see if they had some that might work, but they didn't so I had to order one off the internet.
Looks like you are getting there! That injection line gets in the way on mine as well. The boot is flexible enough that the intake tube just dog legs up a bit. It was this way when I got it and I haven't had reason to change it yet.
I do however need to change that horrid green color!
Sorry not the best picture and hard to see with the hoses.
Yea somethings fb is good for, but a build thread is not one of them, I could not find any info on doing this on the internet, I was having guys pm me on how it was going, so I thought I would just post here. And let them know to come here.
