Painting/making pretty stuff sure takes a lot longer than just slamming the truck back together.[/QUOTE]

it does take alot of time to get the thing painted up nice , but looking good when it is , ,, i think i am going to repaint all the black stuff on my engine with wrinkle paint .. i love the stuff ,,looks cool ... for the people that are not sure what that is see pics below

 

more pics

 

thats sexy. is it driving again now? lots more kick?

 

ya i have been driven it for about 2 weeks ,,, it works ok ,,, i think about 200hp at the wheels

 

Rob, you get all the gauges installed? I have to come by and take a look see. Looking good buddy. You going to put on a cowl hood and some new trim? Nice truck buddy.

 

waiting on my fuel pressure gauge , but the rest are in , truck is getting custom bumpers and new paint no trim .. and i am not sure about the cowl hood

 

Welding in that 3B I bet sure was fun. Great turbocharger, but a pain to install. The hot down pipe is easy but the discharge nozzle is pointed right at the passager fender. Not an easy air tubing. Your air tubes looks really good.

Could have taken the easy route like BD or ATS twins does and just run a long rubber 90deg bend 4in to 3in hose. I prefer the metal pipes to rubber hoses, nicer look to them.

 

i thought the 3b was pretty easy to put in ,

 

So you are running both internal and external gates?

Looks like you are running the external gate so it is opening off of the intake manifold pressure? Imho I find it too spiky, and it causes the gate too open too quickly and modulate to frequently. The two issues I find with that are: If it opens too suddenly it can snuff out the secondary and makes the system feel sluggish. The second issue, is I find it hard to make the balance secondary to primary and the point to start the gate to open is rather narrow / sharp.

I prefer to run my gate off of the cold pipe pressure signal. It is less over all pressure and it is slower responding.

 

ya i was running off the manifold but i have change it when i painted the cold pipe and yes i am runnning both gates ,, the set does spool pretty fast tho

 

Rob here a picture explaining how to plumb in the external gate. We ran the supply pressure for the gate from the primary turbo. I used 1/8 air brake line and quick coupling fittings.

You have any pressure measurements for each turbo? At what pressure is the external gate opening at?

I would stop by and talk but I'm out of town for a few weeks.

 

ya thats how i have it hooked up now , works better then the other for sure.

work always gets in the way of all the cool stuff

 

Really nice install. Looks good.

Off topic, but Mike, where did you get the fittings? I need a bunch of push to connect fittings to plumb my bag controler. Fastenall didn't have what I am looking for. Looking for ideas in Calgary. Ideally DOT approved if I can get em.

 

Fleetbrake or Gregg's should have the push lok's
