both turbos are internally gated. i will be blocking off the internal passages for the gates in one way or another. most likely i will be tapping the ports and using a pipe plug. depending on how this set up runs and if i feel like it will spool with it, i may step up to a 14cm exhuast housing on the 35. they are not internally gated, so i will be ready for that. according to my friends at low budget diesel, i probably will not need a gate fro the primary. if i do, it will be an easy add on. the gate on the secondary will dump into the hotpipe to help drive the primary.

There's nothing like having a waterjet at your disposal......

Very true

ryanroo · 05-12-2013, 09:11 PM

i planned to get a little more done this weekend, but i ended up doing a bunch of other stuff, including cleaning my messy garage.

but i did get the frame notched and plated back in for the compressor housing. i may need to buy another pro-werks donut for the turbo to turbo boost tube. the hot pipe donut is supposed to ship this week, so i can do that. i also need to make a plate for the charge pipe on the intake so i can look at that.

i know this is a bit of a repeat, but i really like looking at twins

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-13-2013, 03:30 PM

Very nice! Enjoy iy because I can only see one turbo on mine still.

1985-GMC · 05-13-2013, 11:59 PM

Man that looks so awesome, I love that plate you made!

Thanks!

i had a long weekend out of town, but i did manage to piddle a little before i left on friday and again a little this afternoon.

i need to pick up a short length of 3" strait tube. the leg on the other half of this u isn't long enough. then i can run it down to the I/C and then ill need to order das boot.

ill take this stuff in to work to Tig weld it this week sometime. hopefully my a/c bracket will come from my Iowa friends this week or next, and i can start on the other piping.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-21-2013, 09:32 PM

Lookin' good....don't forget to add oil to the motor before firing it up for the first time

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-21-2013, 10:50 PM

Nice work Ryan! You have a lot more room than I do so far.

Mattman2010 · 05-21-2013, 11:57 PM

Nice work Ryan! That's going to be sweet!

Thanks guys!

so i received a part today

the C stands for cash, as in all of it

the water neck will be tight, but i can make it happen

here it is with the incredibly nasty dodge compressor. it looks like the inlet for the primary will have to be a little on the stupid side, but i guess i can work with it. for any swap where the compounds or the oem single are in the oem position and you have oil filter relocate kit, this water inlet bracket would be fantastic for frame clearance. since my turbos are forward, i get stuck with annoying.

also got the hotpipe welded

jbclassix · 05-22-2013, 10:27 PM

Still studying your fabrication and engineering! Lovin it!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-22-2013, 10:56 PM

Nice welding! Dang, I wonder what those oil filter relcating things look like.

I'm surprised the Dodge sanden compressor fit on that inlet too. Very nice though.

ryanroo · 05-22-2013, 11:17 PM

i have read that they wont, but i saw mosesburbs and it had the stocker on it... so i ordered it and figured i would see. this compressor is cooked, so i may look into the F-800 one that has the more compact outlets.

relocation kits... yeah....

If you are referring to the a/c compressor, mine is not a Dodge unit. It is a Freightliner application. The exact application escapes me right now, but I can check the file of doom for the invoice if you need the number on it.

ryanroo · 05-23-2013, 07:51 AM

possibly, i think i have the number for either an FLsomething or F-800 saved on the computer right now. for some reason i thought the mounting base dimensions where different on the MD compressors. im glad i have options though!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-23-2013, 03:06 PM

Ryan, I may have an inlet that bends around and points down from a 4BT that may fit your situation. I will see if I can locate it.

ryanroo · 05-23-2013, 11:27 PM

Thanks man!

71'4wdK10 · 05-24-2013, 09:05 PM

Poly will last longer and more "High Tech and pricey", however rubber will help more with any vibration and ride.

sboris · 05-26-2013, 01:57 PM

Dude this fab work and engineering is impressive. Way beyond me! I'm lucky to be able to just put it back together the way it was!! Can't wait to see this finished..

a little sneak peak at what happens when i run out of mandrel bends for turbo piping.

Mattman2010 · 05-28-2013, 11:33 PM

That bumper looks sweet! That's close to what I want to do on mine.
