Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SO this Is less Fun Than I Imagined. More stressful than hard, Trying to get it perfect.

bocephus79 · 02-15-2020, 06:31 PM

So After we got some stuff in paint and clear today, it's apparent I need to re visit my exhaust fan situation. I may do something more permanent because I'm sure I'll be painting something again in the future

Nice looking color! That wiring situation makes me want to avoid that on my truck, haha.

Thanks!
I'm Probably making it harder than it needs to be by routing stuff in ways to hide it as much as possible. I also have to build a separate fuse panel/ relay panel for the Holley terminator and fuel pumps and stuff.

After Painting the fenders and cab pieces, we realized the current fan situation wasn't going to work anymore. So I made a more permanent soulution.

bocephus79 · 05-18-2020, 06:51 PM

Progress:
90% wired
Had doors painted in the booth with my new exhaust setup, worked great!
Exhaust mocked up complete with boost activated cutout

Looks killer!

So do the actuators on the cut outs open only under positive pressure? Never seen that, so would you just wire it in to a vacuum source or a boost source off the wastegate?

Boost Actuated. Fully open around 10psi. We will see how it goes, but I know that 6 feet of pipe loses significant HP in a turbo downpipe ( Per SLoppymechanics)

Very unique and curious to see how it works. So I'm assuming you would tune with the cut out's open. Tend to see a decent Air/Fuel difference with full exhaust compared to just a downpipe.

Love the build and can't wait to see more.

88Stanger · 05-19-2020, 01:14 PM

Damn fine build so far!! Love this.

tinydb84 · 05-19-2020, 02:43 PM

I'm sure you already looked into it but make sure that fan is rated for that. Plenty of fires and explosions have happened from using the wrong style of fan when painting.

Yeah It's a "fire" rated fan TEFC motor so it worked out that I had it laying around

bocephus79 · 07-14-2020, 11:53 AM

Some progress over the last few weeks.
Bed and tailgate painted
Engine primed with a garden sprayer
tedious interior install

and oh yeah, this happened https://youtu.be/vHHoEYXs7Uk

aggie91 · 07-14-2020, 12:00 PM

Nice!

**Android04** · 07-24-2020, 10:14 AM

Love it.

88Stanger · 07-25-2020, 09:54 PM

fantastic work sir

aggie91 · 07-28-2020, 10:51 AM

What radio did you go with in the dash?

88Stanger · 07-31-2020, 10:06 AM

Nice Job Sir!! i am almost at the point that i need to start a paint booth like you got. nice work.

Wizit247 · 08-04-2020, 05:54 PM

wow is all I have to say! Im following!

bocephus79 · 09-01-2020, 09:35 AM

Some Progress Updates. Most of the interior is done, at least the hard parts I wanted to do before the doors were installed.
the new door handles seem too " short" The actuator pin on the push button needs to be like 1/8 longer to make the latch open all the way.

As far as the bed wood kit from Mark-k goes..I wanted the bed on the truck so when I mock the wood up to drill the holes everything is perfect. Man was setting that thing on the frame stressful

aggie91 · 09-01-2020, 10:56 AM

Nice progress. Love that blue.

88Stanger · 09-03-2020, 09:30 AM

looking awesome!

LostMy65 · 09-03-2020, 03:28 PM

Looking really good.

bocephus79 · 09-09-2020, 11:20 AM

Test fit of the boards so I can mark the outside edge holes to drill and the gas tank fill

88Stanger · 09-09-2020, 12:18 PM

Where did you get the seat?
