Kinda like what we talked about.
That is funny, I was looking at that at work this last week.


E-Brake is SOLVED!! Truck will be insured on Monday! Need to hit the JY tomorrow and find a new release cable, and release plastic pull piece, but works with vicegrips right now.

Mike I was thinking maybe we should see if we can't fit that 3788 over the 475 setup on this truck for my run to the coast. Obviously we have to do some repair work to them first.

Or maybe finish up the 35 over the 66...

Might be easier using a 475 or the GT42 than the 66, I have extra 5in exhaust pipe and a turbo brace for them. It wouldn't take long to build a 4in exhaust down pipe for the 66.

The 35 is a pretty small top turbo, without the tweaks it might run hot. The 3788/475 would work nice on the truck. Could just borrow my water/meth kit???

Got to the wrecker nice and early this morning, got the parts I needed and installed.

Now I just need to find the screws that hold my overhead console in place, and a new information board, as mine seems to be MIA. This truck is a forever search for bits and pieces.


With these stock 215's and the stock dv's and the stock fuel system, I don't think I can move more then about 500hp worth of fuel, so even the little setup should work just fine for right now, but I am game to try whatever...

Anybody have an idea on how much piston to cylinder clearance sled puller use? I know Brett and I have discussed this a few times.

I've got a ISB manual and a 12v manual, you want the 12v one right? ISB is 24v. anytime you want it. I've actually got B and C manuals. and at work I've got the K manual plus some others.

We are going to build-up a set of twins that has a smaller secondary than normal and use a larger than normal primary. Of course there are a few Airdrie sunk wurks secerts to get everything to work right.

If no one uses the S480, it goes on my 10 truck No worries, its not like we are going to run out of turbos to choose from anytime soon....

Its just time and beer........


I ran the twins a couple times on big red. that was cool. but I want to try out a big single. you mentioned GT42, how would that be as a single? how big is it anyways?

The 4202 mike has is a 75mm charger, think 3.0 class puller, with tons of fuel and good tuning good for 4 digit power on fuel big...

Driving it on the street would be like driving an NA 5.9. Probably won't lite till close to 3000rpm without spray on a 12v.

I've been noticing how shotty 1st gens are for fitting twins. so maybe a big single is fine too

Giver a try Luke, but I think you need to raise the rpm limit on the truck. I don't think that it will spool that well. Tate drove Kev's truck around with it, but I'm guessing its a lazy dog but I'm game to try it out, its only a few hours. Could meet at Rob's place and throw it on for kicks. Like I said today, twins is so much easier to drive and will perform better. You could spray from Nos to wake up the truck. Kev was probably over 1200rwhp when he windowed his block.

Brett hopefully your slowly working the issues out your new ride. It was fun working on it tonight. Can't wait to hear how the new turbo works out for ya.

Of course no body here like to talk about new turbos on truck these days, forget twins....

Mike you have to post up our latest creation from lastnight... Hopefully tonight goes smooth, and we can use it again. Oh and it says on the tap chart, that we were supposed to use a 7/16th's drill bit, so I think we were a bit small.

Dave, yes Rob had the bolt I needed.

Thanks to Tate for loaning me the bullet to try out.
