Little ways away from me, but who knows. We might see each other next year somewhere.

Getting it back together is going slower than i would like but should make some progress this week. But I did however build my own spool flange. 1/2" thick had to grind the center of my manifold to get it flowing properly.
Got most of my down pipe together yesterday.
Ground the lip off the compressor cover- I'm going to run a boot instead of v band.(for more flex)
Need to make a new feed line and drain line.
Sand and paint the piping.

And hopefully get time to fix my rear seal in the trans(has a steady drip)

I ordered a manifold blanket and a turbo blanket to keep under hood temps down.

My TIG welding is also getting better.(only have like maybe 2 hrs into it all together)

my spool flange

Flange in place

some of the welds on the down pipe

looks good man have u got to see how it works yet

 

[jakerc69]

just read the whole build... looks like the welding has come a long way.. good stuff
really suprizing on the weight.. I was figuring less than 5500.
nice project

 

[92dak_r6]

06megacummins not yet, hopefully i will tonight
jakerc69- i knew the weight would be somewhere round 6000 with the twins and 3/4 ton axles. if it was 5500 that would have been awesome. Also a crew cab truck that has more room than a extended cab 2nd gen and weights a couple hundred less. ill take it.

Also as for a little update. I started it up late yesterday afternoon to check for leaks after needing to replace 3 exhaust manifold gaskets i just went ahead and did all 6.
I let it idle for a couple minutes and revved it up a few times got around 8 psi revving it a couple times. it was getting late so didnt get a chance to take it for a spin, that should be tonight.

here are a few pics for yall

and all buttoned up.

Very cool build.

Have you driven it enough to see if you met your fuel mileage goal?

Have not checked it lately. So not sure what it is...

As for a lil update. I'm not happy with the S467. It's a great turbo dont get me wrong. I was thinking with the spool flange it would come to life a earlier. I could possibly tune it a little better but I'm going to swap turbo's again. in about 2 weeks. Going to triples if I can fit them in the engine bay.

Damn. This build gets better and better. What size turbos you going to try?

Damn im glad I didnt buy a 67! Thanks for the update, sweet build!!

 

[92dak_r6]

For the 'primary' I'm going with the box chargers. 63/68/.88's they flow ~75 lb/min each so i should be able to make decent power with and they should spool fairly well. and the secondary is still up in the air either a 64/71/.83. Or another 63/68. But with a .83 housing. I'm planning to keep it T4.

I'm really just doing it for the 'wow' factor and to just to say I did it.

If this truck was just a drag race only truck I would keep it. For aS400 charger it run really well But I got spoiled with my 63/68.

 

[92dak_r6]

I got home Friday and a 2 of the turbos were waiting on me! So started on building some stuff for the trips.
This may look like a lot of space.... But it's NOT!

I got the secondary mounted.

Got a mount for one of the "primary's"

and the other is just hanging around till I figure out how I'm going to mount/brace it.

 

[92dak_r6]

Picture time!!! I got some stuff done over my Thanksgiving break. (4day weekend)
First part of hot pipe.

And the 2nd half.

Got 95% of the cold pipe finished.

Still have down pipes and oil supply/drains and then paint

Cool Build....But a little different Turbo Set up.


Maybe I missed it, But I see Ky Tags and your Location says TN. Where you located?

 

[Kronk]

That is definitely different! I like it.

I live in Smith Co. TN but I bought the truck in KY and left the plate on while building it.

and I hope my "different turbo setup" does well, if it does I'll need to change the heading to " 00' 3/4 ton 4x4 CrewCab TRIPLE Turbo Dakota "

For saying you're not a fabricator, you're doing a good job at it IMO!

Awesome build! Gives me motivation. I'm really thinking about doing a 4BT/ ford ranger swap. My father in law has a 94 2wd ranger that has a junk 2.3. Pretty sure I could get a family discount on the truck LOL.
