talk about a long fun last couple weeks so i thought i would share it with all you guys.

this is how it all started




we started installing the twins first.










but like everything you do the first time you have to do it the hard way. the bypass would have been easier to put on before the top turbo so you have good access to the plug that has to come out of the head. just be sure that you do not install Opie's regulator before the top turbo be cause that can be some clearance issues. but i will advise to go ahead and put the fitting in the head.

after installing the fitting into the head you can put the top turbo on and then place the regulator where it will need to go.


once all this was inplace it was time to start stuffing the cold pipe in the a/c lines are alot stronger than they look.



and then the finished product with the brand new HTT intercooler installed and everything back together it looked like this



now it is time to start testing this bad boy the break in is over. we are going to fine tune this week and take the (Old Farm Truck) to Fawl Brawl in PA

 

here is another picture of the complete job look to the right of the picture at the top radiator hose and you can see where the bypass goes to

What turbos did yall use?

 

polished htt 62/71/13 over a polished htt s480

 

Nice. Sorry, I don't wanna sound stupid, but what is the Opies bypass? Is it a coolant bypass?

 

yes it is. it controls the water pressure in the head so you dont blow a freeze plug in the head.

 

Did you have to make the SS lines for the Opie kit?Didn't think they came with it.

 

Ok thanks. Thats what I thought, but I wasn't sure

 

yes we had them made at a local fluid power. we thought the ss braided looked better than the blue hose that came with it

 

Ya it looks sharp with those SS lines

 

Kinda makes me want lines...

 

that look's great, very nice job. is that the set up you used to get your current dyno number's.

 

no the turbos are on a buddy's truck we are hoping for low the mid 700's

 

let me know i will hook you up with the lines one placed we priced wanted 350.00 for the lines the place we got them it was like 250.00 but we also had a ss line made for the oil pressure gauge we installed.
