Fred, Its so close buddy but I have no fuel, my little sticks are tiny little things. I want my mach 6er's freshen up. I think that a K-31 would be a better choice for the GT3788R.

You tapping the pump for the dyno event? You should be able to make some decent ponies.

Did you find a tight 3" 90?

We need one of these in aluminum and one in steel, too bad we are short on time... http://www.racepartsolutions.com/pro...prod=RPS-DONUT

I am certain we can find something that will work.

These work well too http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOK-12399HKR/

3" diameter, 4" CLR. That 3" U bend you have is probably a 6" CLR

Thats the answer buddy. I'll order the tubes tomorrow. Thanks man, I owe ya.

Ya, that 3in 180deg bend that I have is just a big ugly pile. It was a good idea at the time. Most people think that 3in is too small, but for small twins its the hot ticket, as your spool-up would be wicked. A 3in short 180 deg, about 4 to 6in long between the both turbos (for both the hot/cold sides). I might be drooling.

I see that Diesel Dave has posted all the details of this GTG on ABdiesels.com..

I just did the same on CumminsForum. The more the merrier!


Is anyone on here coming down from Edmonton for this?
I have 2 small packages for an Edmonton member from my Montana trip that has to go to Edmonton.

What time should the Cgy folks meet at Tim's/Crossfield?

That 01 would put to shame any Custom Vehicle they would have on site... Maybe we could trade some labor? Need help?? I am sure the chapter would lend a hand!

THANKS for the offer(s)----should not take me long to do but it just one more thing to an already busy schedule.Still going to try to make it maybe for a bit,wife will have the 07 with her and i really want to polish up old blue one or two more times this year before winter.Hopefully the fence can wait,probable take me 3-4 hours to complete if no digging.I do have to work on Sat but going to hit the road by 11:00 AM if no problems---maybe show before 1:00.-----DW

That'd be sweet, thanks for the offer. I'll be back in town by then, and I could meet you at Castrol. Are you racing?
