I ran out of daylight before I could build the exhaust from the downpipe to the rest of the system, and I need about a foot of hose for my oil drain.

I got a little bit of a late start today due to a little whiskey-bendage last night :o

I got the Turbonetics setup from Brent. It comes with a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen downpipe, so I'm obviously running the 2nd gen downpipe, and then I hacked up the 3rd gen downpipe to use as my air intake :)

is it alright to leave the air temp sensor outside the pipe for a while?(IE "forever" LOL )

gotta love all that room... V8 boys eat your heart out! :p

used studs and nuts on top and factory exhaust manifold bolts/spacers on bottom

there was a lot of AC line bending today! :mad:

I was HOPING/TRYING to not have to break out the welder... partly because I was hungover and that thing's heavy, but also because I was hoping I could put together a little "how-to bolt-together setup" for people wanting to do the same swap, but I had to cut and weld

I used a 90* elbow from Cummins and a 2nd gen cold pipe. cut a straight section out of the 3rd gen cold pipe and welded it to the 2nd gen pipe. could have just used a straight section of 3" exhaust pipe, but I wanted the factory little rolled bead portion... and I didn't have any 3" exhaust pipe handy or a parts runner vehicle :o

I shot the cold pipe w/ gloss black after I built it

just need to build a little exhaust to hook it up, and get some hose to extend the oil drain, and she's ready to fire.

Yes that's a thermocouple in the spacer plate, but no I still have zero gauges on the truck! LOL
 
Where did that header come from? I see you're still using the t3/t4 adapter. Look forward to hearing your impressions of this charger on a CR. This is the same thing as Matt and my charger correct, 66/68 .84 divided t4 housing ceramic ball bearing cartridge? 15182 is the part number if memory serves.
 
cool deal man I'll be checking back to see what you think of the charger! Was goin to get on the dyno today and try some things with mine but software issues prevented that from happening. Soon enough!
 
Also, i remember you having issues with that down pipe you got from me that was for the turbonetics t66 and indicating it's not the same thing as a hx40. Forrest, now that you have the charger in front of you, could you describe the difference between the turbonotecs turbine housing outlet flange and the hx40's?

it's a larger diameter flange... probably some industry standard "4 inch V-band" deal. the HX40 isn't really a 4" flange

now I'm curious if the downpipe will seal up to the outlet of a 3rd gen turbo :confused:
 
What size pipe are you going to put on? 6" like your other trucks?

Why does a 3rd gen turbo have a larger flange? So the turbonetics turbine housing has a larger area for exhaust gases to pass through vs. the standard hx40 turbine housing outlet?

not sure why the 3rd gen has a larger flange... I guess to make it harder on the performance guys! LOL

I think 1000hp has been made through an HX40 flange :)

Ok, but is the area of the hx40 flange smaller then the t66 flange (turbine housings

p.s. that should have read "Why, does a 3rd gen have a larger turbine outlet then a 2nd gen turbine outlet in stock form"?
