i also have a question for ya'll. What bolts do i use the ones that came with the 351 or my 341? Also if any of you know what bolts i use on my mani swap the 2nd gen bolts or my 3rd gen bolts?

 

i'm pretty sure the 341's are the ones you want to use. My 351's were to long....

 

Okay finished my turbo swap. All seams to be working great. My home made ats plug with adj. boost elbow mounted in the plug seems to be working fine.,seeing 33 to35 lb. boost at full trottle short runs with x2 set on 100 hp. and boost elbow all the way in. Have not been able to pull the 5ver yet to check egt 's will do that this weekend.The 351 seems to have a differant sound at low boost, anyone else notice this?

 

Hopefully I'll get to do this swap this weekend, it depends on how long it takes to do the fabrication work me and WCDeviller are doing on the exhaust.

 

I did mine last weekend.The studs on the exhaust manifold were too short so I had to back them out until they were flush with the flange. (They were about 1/4" past the flange stock) Other than that and the pain in getting the nuts off the stock turbo,mine went fairly easy. Only took me 5 hours.....

 

so i was wondering... is it possible to put on a larger exhaust housing like you can do with the hx 35's?

 

Is this the boost elbow everyone is using?

What I found and did was the 351's studs are about 1/2' longer, flange of 351 is 1/4' thicker than 341. So I swapped the studs from the manifold which were the 341 studs to the turbo and the 351 turbo studs to manifold, no grinding needed.

Nate - yes that is the one.

 

I just picked up an HE351, but I didn't get any mounting studs with it. Should I just get two of the longer studs or would it be better to get all four?

Does anyone have part numbers for these?

 

I'm still looking for the part number for the longer studs. Also the p/n for the nuts if anyone knows.

 

Don't know the part number for the studs but you can just use your stock 341 studs and back them out like I did. Just back em out until the backside is flush instead of sticking way out. You can also just use the extra nuts that Dodge uses to hold that heat shield onto the front side of the exhaust manifold. It will be fine with just one or two nuts holding it on.

 

Are you guys tapping the hole for the boost elbow to the left of the solenoid hole? That seems like it would be the best place. At least in terms of getting the metal shavings out. I 'd really hate to mess this hole up like I did w/ my exhaust manifold pyro.



I tried calling ATS, which btw. They can rot in purgatory for all I care. Talk about crappy customer service. I called to ask about the plug and was told flat out it doesn't exist, and the guy wouldn't lend me the time of day to try and look for it. Is it ok to use the solenoid, and leave it unplugged?

 

has anybody tried supplying 12v to the w/g controller solenoid?

 

Thanks,
I have been looking for these numbers.

Great info in this thread, guys! It has convinced me to pull the trigger on a low mile 351, and go for it. Seems like the perfect mod for my modest power level (intake, exh., smarty jr.), especially when it has 100K less miles on it to boot!
