HS108
Diesel Newb
Project: BTB (before the baby)
So I have been stocking up on parts for the truck since I got it. I never had to time to install any of them, as it was always something going on in life, Buying a house, wedding, etc etc. Now with a baby on the way, I know its really all over for spare time, so I plan to get together over at my buddys house and knock out this massive list of parts I have been collecting.
I bought 4 ISSPro Gauges from Mel during his initial group buy. (Pyro, Boost, Trans Temp, Eng Temp)
I have a modded 3" inch elbow and down pipe from R&D performance, and 4 inch diamond eye exhaust.
Hydroboost set up from a member on the forum.
Plan on swapping in a rebuilt turbo with a Wicked Wheel 2 in it to replace my stock one with 200K+ on it
Replacing all glow plugs with new ZD9's as I have a mix of ACDelcos and Beru's currently and a few are burn out. (which concerns me a little, as to why they are failing, Ive replaced 2 with ZD9s and one of them is already dead again)
Plan on moving the fuel filter, and piping a 4 inch intake from the turbo to the passenger side with a AEM dry flow filter
Install a new CDR Valve and catch can set up.
I have also ordered a few supporting Items from Russ with an turbo install kit and new stainless oil feed line, and Brain who went out of his way to ship my a fitting for the IP to run a new line to the filter.
I plan on starting this on Friday the 1st. I usually try to go one project at a time, Keeps things easier that way.
I guess my main concern this project is going to be the turbo swap over. Mine is still factory with the crushed DP and metal heat shielding all over it, any tips for removing that would be great, I also pray that my up pipes will be in good condition
