1979 Powerwagon

Thought I'd share my beater truck.
It's a 79 W150 that I installed a 93 VE engine and 518 into, 3/4 ton axles. Then converted it to a "Warlock" stepside. I daily drive it and have a lot of fun :) powerwagon donut - YouTube |
I like your beater!
Wait... that sounds weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
Just the right mix of classy and trashy. I love it.
|
I like it, I thought you were gonna get on two wheels there for a minute.
|
I dig it!
|
That's a sweet truck! Nice build!
|
What have you done to that '93 VE ?
|
Awesome! The Warlock has always been my all time favorite truck!
|
Thanks guys.
The VE, typical stuff, power screw maxed, ground pin, piston pump modded for 18 psi, 6x13 sac injectors, HE351CW Engine has ~310k on it never been opened up. I put the last 10k on it. Have yet to do a gsk and timing spacer, was waiting to regasket the head and do valve springs but those parts ended up going in my 2001. |
Those timing spacers are still on back order. I hope they make some more soon. Haha
|
I've thought about having a batch of them made. Not much to it.
Some more Friday fun Warlock donuts - YouTube |
Anyone have opinions on a small twin setup for a ve? HE351CW and?
I have two Caterpillar C9 turbos. One is a 66 with Variable vanes,1.24 a/r, can't find much info on it and other is a S310G (Believe it's a 64/71 and 1.1 a/r exhaust housing) Both T4 foot. Truck weighs about 5700 lbs. Trying to use what I have to make it work, i just know it needs more air.. I'm not after the perfect hp number or track time. |

The vgt I bought off of eBay for next to nothing. Think it's from a Challenger tractor. S310G bad core from an excavator, salvageable imo |

Not familiar with seed list? Cat pay out for certain cores?
If I remember right last time I looked up the price on SIS for the VGT it was around $4k new. I had made an adapter for it to run as a single but I don't know if the VE will push it |
I've been running an S310 CAT 64/71 for a while. Those are from C9 acert engines.
The C9.3 turbo, if it's what I think, only creates back pressure to force exhaust gas to flow through the EGR system. The turbine housing is relatively useless. I have one from a 15 or 18 liter that I haven't done anything with. It's the reverse function of how a normal housing is intended to function. I think they are borg-warners If it's from a C9 Acert, then it should be a garret vgt. Iirc CAT doesn't buy cores. You can poke around in TMI and ID a lot of cats turbos.

Thanks for the info!
How does that s310 run? Few photos of the VGT - P/N 304-2690 |
GTB4088V garret according to TMI.
I've had one of those engines in the shop in 10 years. I'm guessing my CAT 64 is pushing 450hp. I ran an Aurora 64/71 and did 499.5 at the wheels without a lot of smoke. 575hp calculated. The CAT has a used, cracked S300 style turbine housing, runs about the same boost, but the torque/boost curve is different due to the housing. I would guess it could support a smokey 650hp.

Thank you again, that's the most info I've seen for this turbo.
This S310 I have has a water cooled center, Happen to know if a s300 turbine housing will fit that? Internals swap? |
