Sorry man, its a long build, basically because EVERYTHING is custom, or had to be found to fit/ work.

Injectors shipped this morning. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricane hitting and heavy rain scheduled for entire week, andmuch of next.......FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

can to wait to see this monster run on tv...

mini, DO IT, I love the 7.3 powerstroke... no offence to dalpilot

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

no, I understand, and respect your work you have accomplished, if not with but a bit of jealousy. I wish I had the $ to tackle this kind of project.

 

[Dalpilot]

Well, I got the balancer on today, the belt, the radiator, and cross member, and mounted the HP turbo. The LP turbo required a little cutting of the fender well but fits just fine. The Pipe from the LP to the HP turbo had to have the v band flange cut off since the new turbo does not have a V band. I had a boot laying here that some how fits the pipe and the turbo now. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

 

[Dalpilot]

Well, the flange was made to actually fit the turbo, and I got it mounted up. Had to "trim" a little of the inner fender but it fits pretty nice. Also convenient that the new turbo has a threaded piece right by the compressor outlet to make a strap so it doesn't blow the boot off.

And the radiator is mounted and plumbed and figured I would go ahead and put the grill back on. Injectors get here tomorrow.

Injectors got here today, along with a hurricane. FML I now have everything back. All I need is to get them in, and get one 5.5" to 4" silicone boot for the MAF sensor tube, and air filter element. Oh yeah, and I have family coming in tomorrow till next thursday, then Friday and Saturday is Aquapalooza here on Lake Travis. With any luck though, I can have it ready to go test and tune by July 7th. :nail:

Glad to see it coming back together! That hood deff isnt fitting without a fight with that beast of a turbo!

 

[Dalpilot]

Uh oh, what is that Joe Hellmann up to now?

Nice stuff at Joe's

There will be no more problems holding the brakes on the line.

dude I saw the exact same big turbo you have feeding a 396 in a chevelle at the track a couple days ago. that was retarded cool so i imagine your truck 5times more sweet. what is the the intake size? saw a 108mm on a supra one time and almost crapped my pants so you can imagine what happened when i saw the turbo on the chevelle. good to see it coming together and hope to see a vid or 2 soon.

[kris97ranger]

so whats the power like with the new turbo or ahve u got it dynoed again yet?

 

[Dalpilot]

Yeah, I will wear it proudly.

That's pretty clever having the transbrake on the axle instead of the tranny. That should help the driveshaft/u-joints live a little longer.

dalpilot, your in Houston right?
I just might have to come see you make some runs down the track.
