Cool! Keep up the work.

 

Must have robbed that off an old 1st gen CTD... Looks good, that H1C will be a little slow to come in, but it will hit hard. 300rwhp is a good goal since that`s about all that turbo will support without a pretty serious intercooler.

BTW if you ever wanna go above the 300rwhp or want lighting fast spool, look at the HE351VE... 60/60/VGT with a housing that opens from 3.5cm up to 25cm. Those of us in the diesel community push them to 40-45psi and they support 500rwhp Bonus is they can be had on ebay for $100!

 

Actually it was originaly a WH1C from a 94 CTD, I put the 21cm housing on it. If I find it to be too slow I'll step down to a 16cm and if that's even too slow I'll drop the 12cm housing back on it. Hope I get to find out soon, shooting to be boosting by sometime next week!

 

Looks good!, keep up the work.. I expect a video the moment this is done

 

Plan to video the first start!

 

Nice!, cant wait

 

Finally wired my shop for 220 (not hard at all!) so I no longer have to rely on my buddy and his shop to use my welder!

Got some good progress done tonight with the help of a buddy.

Cutting the exhaust off.


looking at cat:


got the up pipe tacked in:


Turbo on:


Waste gate on:


Rear shot


air filter clearance:


No pics but the cold side is about 95% done as well!

 

damn dude! u got any idea on power/torque gains verse before the turbo? u gotta get it on the dyno when ur done!

 

Cold side, Done! Hot side, Done! Just waiting for the flange gasket and oil fittings tomorrow!

 

Sick! How did you route the cold side around the transmission bell housing area That would seem like a tight fit and would lower your ground clearance? Post up some pics of that. Oh and I posted this thread up in the FAQ2 under the turbo/power adder section.
