Oh that kewl!
Wasn't really about spending the money as much as just trying to make sure you had that part covered!
Just would hate to see anyone fall to that type of failure like I did!
Carry on!!:Cheer:

That's the beauty of creating a ramp in / ramp out profile with a boost referenced nitrous system and opening the gate sooner on the small turbo.

THA MAN!
What about a wastegate for the bottom charger...that small housing won't like spray much...

Ramp in at 20 where the big charger lights, gate the small turbo at 45, begin the ramp out at 60 and cut at 65.
That's going to be the initial settings I go with on the dyno.
Once I see how it's reacting, we'll go from there.

Not worried so much about the S300, the K31 primary on the other hand...

See, I worry more about the small charger. I've already cracked the housing on that.....found that on the inside of the housing when I tore them down.
Cracked right across. Never would have noticed it until it came apart otherwise.
That's one of the main reasons I did this tear down, other than to build the bottom end on it.
Truck has 62K on it, 34K of that has been in it's current setup. I wanted to see the condition of everything.
The ONLY things that had ANY wear on them at all were the front and rear main bearings. Everything else looked like the motor was started, broken in on a dyno and broken down.

Well, no more issues with freeze plugs blowing under the valve cover.
Got half of them done tonight before I had to hit the house and take care of the dogs.
Here's the process of removing the factory freeze plugs and tapping them for 3/4 -14 pipe plugs.
Removing the freeze plugs.....
Checking the bore of for the correct drill and tap sizing. .872 brings it to roughly 7/8", so to fit it with a 3/4 - 14 pipe plug, we need to bore it out a bit.
Once we have that established, time to move to the mill and set up fof the drill and tap.
Start by centering on the original bore with a 7/8 bit. Once it's centered, swap in the 15/16 bit and bore the hole. Once that's done, swap to teh tap center and begin your tap. Stop frequently to check your depth. Once you get the plug roughly flush, you're golden.
