Now that winter is here

It's time to start working on my Dakota again!! Got it back in the shop and going to get the new engine installed along with some new turbos.

Talk about drive by posting! What changes? What turbos? What fueling? Really enjoyed the original build thread on that truck.

No doubt!^ Details.

Getting a similar engine to the last one. Ditching the marine pistons though in favor of stock ones instead. Compression will be around 15.5:1. Same ported head with same Colt Stage 4 cam. P-pump and injectors are not changing. Built a new plate for it though since the one Columbus Diesel had was not ideal for gradually ramping up diesel lol. Turbos are going to be ATS Aurora 3000 over an ATS Aurora 5000. Picked up the engine from Richard at RPS last night. Going to start putting it back into the truck this week.

Getting the twin piping fabbed up.

Interested to see how those turbos spool on there.

Nice work!

I'm hoping they spool quick. I've got a pretty high stall converter so that is going to help alot.

Finally got all my turbo piping done. The cold side stuff is painted gloss black and the hotside parts are all polished ceramic.
