Oh yea, tomorrow i will get a daylight shot of the black marks all the way down my road. I just wish I could have gotten shot of my neighbor's face while he was CALLING THE COPS!!

Pulled the truck out in the driveway to get photos and the squad pulled up in my driveway behind and he asked to see my insurance, license and registration. Got my heart going. He gave me a written warning and said to me, I quote "The streets will be watched for diesel trucks like yours and others causing chaos and reckless driving and HENCE, putting others lives in danger!". I wanted to give him a cup of coffee and a donut but he looked stuffed enough.

Very slick Chicago! Makin' me drool. Looks like you have better access to get at the glowplugs with that fender out. How much of a PITA was it to get that fender out? I am thinking about changing my glows but can't get at the passenger side ones.

Step 1: Penetrating oil - spray bolts graciously
Step 2: Drink a beer
Step 3: Ratchet and 9/16 socket - start wrenchen
Step 4: Another beer
Step 5: ANother bee after your hand slips and you hit your tumb with the titanium plate and seven screws in it.(If no plate present, skip to step 6)
Step 6: Another beer
Step 7: Get the impact gun and all bolts will be out.
Step 8: Take out battery on Pass. side
Step 9: Jack up truck(My 285's got in the way)
Step 10: Go get another case of beer, you are out by now
Step 11: Fender well will need to be wrestled out, not that bad once you get the correct angle of the dangle.

That was how I did it, pending my condition and such. Not that bad, about an hour minus the trip to the store to get another case of High Life.

Its gonna all get a powdercoat of either orange or I might try and see if the company by me can do Copper like my truck. That would be the intake, intercooler(except for the bar/fin area), tubbing, turbo, valve covers. And some odds and ends, emblems and such

oh yea the whistle is going to be the best part, and the spool up in the exhaust!! I love leaving black marks in my dually!! I can lay some down about 30 yards or so! In the rain I can make my friends crazy by putting it in granny gear and easing off the clutch with the fast idle on and the back tires will just start spinning over! hehe

There is something very eery about hearing a charger spool with that bone-chilling whistle. When I hear 8000lb 4-charger diesel Super Stocks (tractors) "climb on top of it", I almost wet myself. Did I say that out loud? Sorry, that should have been my "inner voice" talking...:D

CR, ???? There is a big temp change, chould be way more though, trust me. In my college clases, the cos of the angle(geometry of the IC) will account a large loss in efficiency. I am not saying it is usesless or that what you and I see as well as others see in IAT reduction is out imaginaitation, but that the fact of the matter is, it could be 200% better with the air flow at a normal force vector direction):h , or in

I don't know if you are funnin me or you really just don't know (for benefit of others as well), there is a troll in Diesel web rings whos site goes by name of a popular condiment applied to steak(kicked off of this site & many others) anyway many rants there and whatever site he can still access beside his own; that his solutions are best, all others are inferior or stolen ideas originated by him, IC under bumpers are too fragile and don't work anyway; or at least that is his version of it..

This is the BHAF that Juice was refering to, and yes I run it on my pickup. This is actually mine here:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/dieseldummy/2b1bf3a8.jpg

That's the best pic I have of it. I have since replaced the flex hose with a 90 elbow and some 4" hose. I tried putting my battery on the fender, but it was too tall and the hood hit it. BTW, the turbo pictured is a HY-35. Twin of the HX, but with a 9 cm exhaust housing instead of a 12 cm... I ran a WH1C first though.

Man that is sweet, I am talking with Peninsular trying to figure out their majic combo for that 450hp mark. They claim their mechanical pump puts out 94mm of fuel!!?!? Do you think it would be better on a 6.5L to run one big turbo or two smaller/big turbos? I was thinking of runing one off each header? That is the setup they have at peninsular that made the 450hp.

Goldsburg
10-04-2005, 11:12 AM
Okay DD, curiosity killed the cat so I have to ask:

What is the 2nd line coming off of the wastegate pod? Or is that a battery cable just passing by?

BTW - That filter looks like a Tymar Donaldson filter (b085011). Or is that the Dodge "big brother" Tymar filter (b105006)?

Chicago TDP
10-04-2005, 03:19 PM
NICE DD!! Looks cool, but its dead? Unforunate. I need to get a filter on my before I venture down the road to far, i have just ripped up and down my street in the everning.

Did you do the install? Who did the DP?

dieseldummy
10-05-2005, 12:04 AM
That line by the wastegate is indeed a battery cable. The filter is acctually an AC Delco brand, found the number on DTR the dodge site.

I did the install and all fabrication involved. I made the down pipe out of pieces of a stock Duramax exhaust, so it should be near 3.5" mandrel bent. I had one just like you Chicago on my WH1C.

For all practical purposes I think these Holset's can handle all the fuel a 6.5 IP can throw at them. They can handle alot on Dodges that are turned up, so that's where I get that thinking.

The good news is that it lives again... It was reborn a 6.2 bored .020" with lower compression pistons. The bad news is that I sold the -4911 IP and used the stock 6.2 IP. It doesn't push near the fuel resulting in lower performance. It's still good, just not what it was before. BTW, it's listed in the classifieds...

Yea, I know that the fuel is "handle-able". It is ALL used up! I can't even rev the engine and get black smoke, the boost climbs too fast. It seems like I am driving a gasser, without putting out black smoke, its no fun:( .

I wish I could just mount two pumps in-line, divide up the wiring harnes. That would be sweet, 70+70 = 140 mm of fuel:ro) . I would put two HX35's on there.

I have to say though, I wanna get a dyno pull somewhere, just to get a baseline. I wanna know where I am at with the fuel I have now. Truck feels FAST actually. And the burn-outs! OH, THE TIRE SMOKE!!! Makes me pround now. I have to get a pic of the 50 footer I laid down. I actually let up in half way though it.

Chicago: How many horses and torque do you think you are putting down? That is a NICE setup you have there! I will check out that IC. Can you light the tires when moving and idling in gear? I can get mine to squeal once in a while, but I would prefer a nice roast instead, hehe. What is the difference in the Peninsular block? Where did you find the holset? Ebay?

The burnouts are interesting, it will not just "spontaineously" combust the tires into smoke and fire, but if you leave a dead stop and boost the turbo a little before you take off, it will leave some marks on the road. If you do a break torque by holding the break, she will shred the tires to the point that you best be going to the local tire shop for a new set.:ro)

I have no idea what the power is right now but it can't be more than 250 hp since I have a stock ecm with no extra fuel to make any more power. I put a TransGo HD II kit in the tranny though and hitting second get will get a nice chirp out of the tires):h .

The Peninsular block is just a new casting from International, called the AMG block which includes 5 major revisions including 20-30% thicker mains and deck of the block. There is no more cracking issues with this engine. It was a lot of $$$ and I dont know what convincedme but I took the plung and bought it.

The turbo was off of eBay, there is usually one HX35 a week there that is worth picking up. I am getting ready to dump this turbo and go to a HX40X and a 3.75" down pipe, I would do 4" but it WILL NOT FIT!! I have tried and tried to make a 4" pipe fit but there is just not enough clearence for it. But this is my story so far, any more questions, I have tons of answers or suggestions.

That stinks your signature (on the road) got erased. Maybe its a good thing, so the cops will leave you alone.

That has got to be sweet. A big truck like yours blazing up the tires. Don't see that too often.

So you have a posi, maybe? My truck seems to be able to that too, but I have little 235's. Sometimes my truck will spin both (I can tell by hearing the stereo squealing) and other times, only one. Especially only one if I do a brake torque burnout. If I hold the brake a little, get the turbo going, then mash the go pedal, I will leave alot of rubber on the ground and my fenders, haha. If I just want to sit there, I can do a brake torque burnout, and the truck will shred the tires like you described. I have to back off some to not blow the engine, and can usually blip the throttle while the tires are roasting! I have fun with the torque, but you are very right about tires. I have only done about 3 massive burnouts, and the usual everyday squeals, but I will need to stop that if I want my 50,000 mile tires to last more than 10,000 miles, hehe.

Stock ECM huh, I bet you will be blown away if you tune that ECM!!

Where did you get your trans kit? I would love that for my trans. Did you put it in yourself? It was the shift improver kit right? Like you took off the trans pan and changed certain things? Did you add a new valve body? Did you put it on the lightest setting? I think there are 3.

You have most of the mods I would like to do to my truck, Keep up the good work!!

I have the 4L80E - HD2-A TransGo Reprogramming kit. I took the valve body out and followed the instructions to the T. Drilled holes, put in plugs, new springs here and there, took a while, I did take my time and would suggest dedicating an afternoon to doing it. BIG difference. I went up the point in the instructions just before it was made into a full race valve body.

Oh come-on now, your just trying to be funny now. With very similiar mods, a reflash and higher fuel rates i'm only pushing 210 RWHP on paper, was maybe 220-225 (RJ's range) with the timing adjusted correctly. So if i smack a Holset on there i'll be hitting at least 275 then at the wheels, right?

Are you sure you have the fuel for an HX40?? How much boost are you making with the hx35? Unless your EGT's are way to high, i feel you will lose performance going to an HX40. You will at least lose quite a bit of spool up.

Chicago TDP
11-01-2005, 08:35 PM
If I could get 93 mm of fuel, I do not see using an HX40 to be wrong, with propane to help the burn efficiency, the larger turbo will be used to keep efficiency. As of right now a HX40 is too big, yes.

I think 275 at the crank is very possible. I know my intercooler is cooler WAY better than any other intercooler on a 6.5. I have more surface area by almost double than what the kits have, seeing as mine is a true in on side, out the other and it is 24" X 12" and 4 inches thick. Much better reduciton in IAT's with my "kit".

Also, my Holset is WAY more efficient that the GM8. Put one on ur truck and i will almost guarentee a 10-15 HP increase. That GM8 is MAXED and my Holset is just where it needs to be, loolking at a turbo map, the Holset can be up to 30 PSI and still be very efficient. Even though that GM8 is pushing 21-23 psi, it is not a good enough to be efficient. That is what I have come to.

Running close to the same boost, the Holset has NO smoke ever because it uses all the diesel while the GM8 always had smoke here and there, even with the waste gate PLUGGED!

More Air Volume because the turbo is heating the air less under compression... Adiabatic Efficiency. Less Drive pressure. Etc.

BTW some of the CTD guys are running said turbo to 40 PSIG, you need more fuel now!:ro)

U know, I wish I could do that, it such a great truck to hack up, it is really a beaustiful truck, see the pic):h .

I just need to water my money tree or ask my Girlfriend for a nice Xmas present of a wester's flash and new pump (about $2000.00)

I SHOULD get an older 94-95, put my engine in there with a BIG mechanical pump and injectors, and put the enigne in my truck and make mine close to stock. That WOULD be the smart thing to do.

With my post turbo EGT probe, last I was 500, that sound good? I am gonna put in a pre-turbo probe too and a pressure gauge too jsut out of curiosity and my thermodynamics proffessor said if I can calculate my pressures, velocities and temps and I can figure an accurate efficiency output and input:D

Yes. The hx35 can handle 50psi of boost for a while. My buddy has been pushing around 45psi for over a year now on his 95 dodge, and it is the original turbo. I could hit 40psi with stock injectors before i put the bigger housing on, and i can still hit about 36psi. The HX35 has a MAP good till about 32psi. Anything over that, and like your gm-8, you will just be pushing hot air. As long as the HX35 keeps your truck cool enough(EGT's) at about 32psi, then i see no reason to switch to a 40, but if you have the fuel(:grd: ) then an hx40 will definatley be fine. You can also do upgrades to the hx35, and make it a hybrid hx40 with htt's kit, which is supposed to help a lot. Im glad to see you 6.5 guys making some power. Keep it up:cool2:

That is what I am talking about, the GM8 is a waste past 15 PSI. The HX35 is the way to go, I need to get a road trip here and see how the milage increases, i know it will.

With more fuel, I could be at 28-30 psi, that would be sweet:ro) .

Most of the guys that upgrade to a 40, do it to help lower egt's, on the down side, low end performance is drastically hindered. Another option is to upgrade to a 14cm exhaust housing or even a 16 on your hx 35 and even adding a larger compressor wheel, all are good for dropping egt's and all will rob low end power. Most guys that do any towing are not happy with the bigger turbo's, hence the popularity of twins. Keep up the good work and have fun but remember that when your power level gets high enough, other parts will start to fail.):h

:iamwithst I highly doubt that Pennisular will warenty an engine if they know it has a homemade turbo setup and ect... Anyone in their right mind wouldn't, but I guess stranger things have happened.

But I am runing it in a stock truck?:D

Any they have their 300 HP BIG turbo that they sell, that does not void the warranty:confused: .

For parts breakage, I really wasn't referring to the engine, however if you plan to run high boost levels you might want to save some money for studs when you stretch your head bolts. The question won't be if they will fail with 30 psi of boost, but when. I was really talking about driveline failures and maybe tires popping from excessive burnouts):h . Lets get that truck to the strip and show us some numbers, and while you are at it lets get a weight slip so we know how much weight you are propelling.:eek:

Chicago TDP,

Can you post a pic of your air filter setup?
