1tuffs10 · 05-25-2009, 12:55 AM

not wasting money just want that right now so i know im not gonna be running to lean..so i know if im pushing to much boost for my stock engine and injectors. ill be getting hptuners eventually and bigger injectors once i get it running ok and no leaks. and i dont think ill need a wideband and there expensive...can't u do stuff with hptuners that the wideband does? still learning about the tuning and programming part of FI vehicles

1tuffs10 · 05-25-2009, 01:12 AM

and i know a narrowband only does volts but this way i at least will know somewhat how its running most wideband kits that i looked at were pretty $$$

1tuffs10 · 05-25-2009, 01:25 AM

but when i do get one to replace it ill probably get this one and this is the dp im getting for my vband and for the time ill plug one of the bungs and run my narrowband in the other one and when i get the wideband 02 use the second bung for it

oh more pics will come soon...id say about mid june ill start taking pics of install because i should have most everything i need and next week the tear down of stock header/parts will begin and removing relocating/ ziptying and replacing some old beat up vac lines with new ones

NotaDime · 05-25-2009, 02:34 AM

not sure if youve found a fix for the brake line in the way but can u get a braided line instead of the hard line there?

1tuffs10 · 05-25-2009, 02:42 AM

yea ive thought of that as well...i dont know if i could or not i dont see why not. but i was able to bend them without damaging anything so when i do start the install ill check fitment again because actually these new ones arnt that much taller then the tial ones either so either way im gonna have to do somthin about it!

1tuffs10 · 05-30-2009, 02:43 AM

Update::

got the intercooler pipes today!

they are nice glossy black love it and matches my vehicle nicely!! wednesday ordering the turbo and oil supply lines!

adamkilgore7 · 05-30-2009, 03:52 AM

this truck is gonna be bad ass. i cant wait to see it done

1tuffs10 · 06-02-2009, 10:45 PM

ordered my turbo and oil line kit today!

jsut the bov, and a custom downpipe and the basic build is all done and just need to install!!

i decided to go with a smaller turbo since the engine is still only stock, the bigger turbo woulda been overkill for it and about pointless with the amount of turbo lag i would probably get and do me no good right now. ill just upgrade the turbo later as i build up the internals! here are the spec on the new turbo!!

Stage 3 turbo capable of 350-450 HP
Capable of 25-35 PSI output at peak power performance
External wastegate with provisions for internal actuator
Compressor
- Inlet (ID / OD) = 2.5" / 3"
- Intake (ID / OD) = 1.75" / 2"
- Inducer = 52.8 mm
- Exducer = 75.5 mm
- Trim = 49
- A/R = 0.50
Turbine
- Outlet = 2.25"
- Turbo flange = T3
- Downpipe flange = 5-bolt T3/w 3" v band adaptor
- Inducer = 57.8 mm
- Exducer = 73.4 mm
- Trim = 62
- A/R = 0.63
Center Section
- Oil cool system
- Oil feed = T3
- Oil return = T3

1tuffs10 · 06-07-2009, 06:45 AM

oil lines came in...turbo scheduled for delivery on monday

sonomanator · 06-07-2009, 06:51 AM

it would be nice if you would install one on my truck.

1tuffs10 · 06-08-2009, 07:24 PM

turbo came in today

heres a few teaser pics!! only thing left is the bov which ill order next week

and some small random odds n ends, coupler reducer bolts etc..

the end is a 5 bolt but im getn the 3" vband adaptor for it next week as well

1tuffs10 · 06-09-2009, 12:41 AM

lol i had to post this pic i thought it was halarious... we start the street racers young around here...haha jk my friends daughter wanted it she thought it was cool..i dont blame her lol i think its cool..as long as i dont find no baby drool in my blades..

andyswmr714 · 06-09-2009, 04:17 PM

heh nice!

IsuzuTurbo · 06-09-2009, 07:06 PM

Nice proyect

Chris0nllyn · 06-09-2009, 07:40 PM

sweet, looks good!

1tuffs10 · 06-09-2009, 10:53 PM

ok ran into some issues today when i started the tear down and mounting process...got some hood clearance issues so im gonna have to tell david at dts to cut it down some if he makes one like this again and angle the wg flange a lil more to clear the brake lines...still haven problem with them but i havnt ran out of ideas yet! its def gonna take a lil more time then expected..i guess nothings perfect when ur doing it yourself and custom build.. starting on the hood tomorrow and going from there..

cs xtreme · 06-10-2009, 01:25 AM

I'd call him on it...
that looks like it sits way high.
with the turbo that close to the hood you will need a ton of insulation

Dr. Pepper · 06-10-2009, 02:20 AM

yeah, you're gonna be melting paint being that close lol. looks awesome tho.

yea its def to close thats for sure, im gonna be buying a heatblanket and lots of heat tape, and wrapping the downpipe, im gonna have to cut some of the hood im thinkin but idc, as long as she runs good then im ok with it, and ill have some kind of top made for it so when the weather is bad i can put it on and better airflow for the turbo anyway

ive got ways to make everything work!

1tuffs10 · 06-10-2009, 10:30 PM

got a little more done today and some minor fixing here n there!

oil tube is kinda in the way of where my downpipe is going to be going so im gonna cut it and then reweld it in the other direction so its not in the way or to close to the downpipe and cut off the oil line bracket

heres just a view of some of the space i have for the downpipe im goin 2.5" for now but 3" eventually

got the bov intake side done today waiting for my 2"-2.5" compressor coupler to come in before i do the turbo side

this was a old coolent line that went by the header and bracket to the dipstick tube..it was a metal line in the middle and couldnt flex so i had to take it out to make room for downpipe

the replacement line for the picture above easier to route away from all the hot pipes..

same as above just another view

ok so the brake lines i couldnt do anymore with if i bended them anymore i would be doing damage or bending to much so my next plan b is to mount a 90* bend to have it route this way!

since its going to be goin that way now i had to remote mount the power steering resevoir box and move the line around

my flex pipe came in and damn that was fast i ordered it yesterday and it was here next day from summit racing..

MTchevyS10 · 06-10-2009, 11:11 PM

Not into this type scene too much, but this looks like a pretty sweet build.

Nice work.

1tuffs10 · 06-12-2009, 05:10 PM

got a couple more things today!!

shes startn to come together pretty nice now that most the hard stuff is figured out!

my 2.5" flex pipe vband adaptor for the 5 bolt to vband adaptor i ordered, o2 sensor bung for new piping!!

these boost connects are freakn amazing and a time saver i have so many different ends to hook up to everything on my bov, wastegate, vaccum lines and boost gauge with extra holes with the block off pin in it if i need another line later! check it out!!

replaced old beat up vac lines on the truck with new ones!

and heres where im at thus far, still waiting for new oil feed line and got to get a oil drain adaptor still! got my iat sensor installed as well today!

DMP · 06-13-2009, 04:16 AM

Looking good. I was gonna say maybe look into a cowl hood for more clearance, but seen you have one already.

1tuffs10 · 06-13-2009, 12:34 PM

lol yea i can make more clearance the cowl hood will give about 2 more inches ill just have to remove a section of the brace frame from underneath it and im hoping that will work with special heat matts i can stick on the top of the hood underneath/heat blanket/ pipe wrap..etc

1tuffs10 · 06-18-2009, 01:31 AM

well im pretty much done...just waiting for perfromance shop to get the downpipe all done so i figure about another week or two depending on how busy he is!!

ill def have a first start up vid and try to get a few cruisn vids and engine bay vid as well so check back around the first week or end of the first week of july!

cant wait FINALY after a year of debate of deciding!!! lol if it wernt for csextremes build and seeing him do it i probably never woulda got started of where im at now..and thanks to everyone else who has helped me so far! im done for a while keepn the boost low..only upgrade im doing is bigger injectors till winter then ill start on the motor build for next spring/summer!

1tuffs10 · 06-23-2009, 03:45 AM

just thought id upload a few updated pics nothing to much, new wastegate location and oil sandwhich feed adapter..downpipe is currently being made so hoping soon to have it done...

have a question ive been reading alot of mixed reviews on the wg as far as having it open or routed back into exhaust, i was thinkin of having it open, see how it sounds when it dumps.

Restoration · 06-23-2009, 04:46 AM

looks nice man. Please post a video of it going down the road when you have it all tuned up.

cs xtreme · 06-23-2009, 11:20 AM

looks like an expensive way to add the oil feed.
I just took out the plug on the block above the oil filter next to the head and ran my feed from there.

but looking good. getting pretty close now.
as for the wastegate, personally I dont like how they sound when they are open.
sounds like an exhaust leak to me. but lots of people like it.

Gutling · 06-23-2009, 09:13 PM

I cant stand a open dump, its loud as hell.

1tuffs10 · 06-23-2009, 11:40 PM

ive personally never heard one so thats why im gonna try it open just to see..if it sounds bad ill route to exhaust, lol the oil sandwhich was about 40 bucks..i got tired of trying to figure out what an size i needed and stuff..lol so this was so much easier..def gonna have videos as soon as i can for u guys...

ive got alot of spare parts now..lol extra oil feed line, couple intercooler pipes, adapters kept running into problems then fixed them lol...but it will be good to have spare stuff for future times if needed!

Dr. Nate · 06-24-2009, 05:20 PM

LMAO nate......god i hope not...ill have it routed just not right away...ive got tubing to weld it to and two extra wg flanges so it will only be like that till i get some extra money to weld it to exhaust..

andyswmr714 · 06-24-2009, 09:58 PM

Nice are u going to run an oil cooler?

Dr. Nate · 06-24-2009, 10:12 PM

I would run an oil cooler and put a duck call on it too. Make it quack instead of fart.

sonomanator · 06-25-2009, 08:17 AM

1tuffs10 · 06-25-2009, 11:22 PM

goin wiht hptuners and 42/lb injectors ordering them within the next month! about 220 for a set of 4 at fiveomotorsports

1tuffs10 · 06-30-2009, 04:10 PM

downpipe has been started..might even have it done before the end of the night today!! that would be nice!!

if not today def tomorrow! with vids comin soon!!

1tuffs10 · 07-01-2009, 03:15 AM

well we got her all done tnight!!! took it out for a couple test runs before leaving the shop...its holding steady at 4lbs of boost right where i wanted it for the first month till i can order my 42lb injectors and tuner software! ran into a few problems..the header gasket was leaking so we just took that out and used orange silicon goop as a replacment and that worked awsome!! the wg dump doesnt sound that bad actually but im still gonna get it routed within the next week or so!! heres a pic of my dp

1tuffs10 · 07-01-2009, 03:31 AM

im also using a temp hks bov from a friend till i get my synapse bov next week!! just a few videos of my test runs its at night so hard to see and camera isnt the best quality..ill try to get some vids of it during day and out of the vehicle with my friend video recording down his road!! but at least its all working no ses lights temp holds fine and no leaks that i have found yet!

I just took out the plug on the block above the oil filter next to the head and ran my feed from there. but looking good. getting pretty close now. as for the wastegate, personally I dont like how they sound when they are open. sounds like an exhaust leak to me. but lots of people like it.
