I found a guy with a used he351ve for $200 and I have a 92 w250. I've been reading alot about guys putting them on their trucks. I just need it explain to me in laments terms I'm trying to learn everything I can. So basically just wondering what I would have to do to put this on my truck or if there's a better option for the same price.
Btw I have fuel pin, tweaked pump, 4" turbo back, and just order a FASS pump. Also have pyro, boost, trans, and fuel pressure gauges ready to be installed. Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

Unbolt turbo. Bolt new turbo and gasket on. Do burnouts.

Ummm, not even close.


A 351vgt is the same to bolt on as a 351cw and they are not exactly a direct bolton. The vgt takes more work to actuate the WG properly. A search should find plenty of info though, there are a few guys who have done it.

The 351cw is less work when it comes to a working wastegate.

 

But what about the electronics. But I do like your progression you mentioned though haha

 

I don't think so. The HE351VE has a T3i or something like that flange.

 

There are a few youtube vids of this swap as well as spring mods to control jakebrake. Do a search of he351 1st gen. Been searching a little on this topic myself.

 

That may be true, adapters are easy to find though. I was thinking more along the lines of compressor outlet piping etc.
