what did you do to the truck to make sure it will handle the turbo, like the intake, fuel things of that nature

Are there any ill effects of running the turbo off of one bank instead of remote mounting and using both? Would there be more lag caused by only 3 cyinders feeding air into the turbo as opposed to 4,6 or 8? Just curious and honestly, I know very little on the subject.

all 6 are feeding the T3. it would be a bad idea to run the turbo off of just one bank as there would be uneven cylinder pressures creating all sorts of problems. As for the setup the 4.0 is completely stock. I built a kit in 36 hours from spare parts lying around and the only fuel system mod is 30# injectors and the ecu is bone stock-the fact that the 02 is unplugged leaving the ecu in open loop. The truck is going to be down for new remanufact heads and gasket, pushrods and rocker shafts. Before its up and running again i hope to convert to MSII for full tuning ability and i still need an wideban

So if i wanted to put a turbo on my xploder sport all i have to do is plumb it up and drop in #30 injectors?

Can you get a better picture of both banks coming together? Just curious how you did it. Looks like you flipped a manifold or used one from the other side. Oh yeah, and how did you get oil to it?

You can do that but Im not going to say its absolutley going to stay together. Ive had good luck you may throw a turbo on there and blow it up or you can have the same luck ive had. However even my setup isnt optimal. I need it tuned and i need a bigger fuel pump, requlator......

I like the way that was done. How did you do the oil lines?

turbo cat · Aug 17, 2008

just a 2$ brass T from lowes off of the oil pressure sender . the feed is braided aeromotive hose with crimped fittings (a hydraulic store put the fittings on the hose for about 15$. Then i just tapped the timing cover at the bottom driver hand side for a fitting for the return

Is the exhaust going to be a concern against the plastic reservoir of the power steering pump?
