another turbo 2500 work truck

this is my friend donavans work truck, decided to turbo it a while back and has been collecting parts, started working on it this weekend. using a KB racing manifold and a s475 he has for the turbo, going to be stock computer, intercooled, and methanol, 80lb injectors all the regular stuff.

dyno'd my truck today for fun

675whp @ 17 psi.

hit 213k on the way back from OCMD

icey outside for 70s

short video of a truck joyride

took a quick drive saturday morning with my friend ryan, he shot this with his phone as i blurred the tires off hahha

just a little highway merging

took the truck to maple grove for fun on street tires

well sunday morning i figured what the hell, lets take the truck to the grove on the street tires i have, i dont have any slicks or anything to put on it, so i might as well give it a try with what i got.

i managed to get down to an 11.9 @ 121mph hahah insane, i never thought it would do that well.
it weighs 5060lbs with me in it and about 3/4 tank...

no video of it sadly, since we never thought it would go that fast in the first place haha

quick 2nd gear rip

fixed my dash light

Drop shackled the rear today

Total pain in the ass to put these in today, but now the truck is level.

low boost dyno run

12psi and 12deg of timing and no methanol produced 530rwhp and 520ftlbs

driving around and etc in the truck

dyno soon!

2-27-13 truck burnouts, kinda

goddamn rain messing with my fun, and your videos.

stuck wastegates!

had some problems with the truck and long story short we found the wastegates were stuck open! haha

we fixed them by drilling them out with a drillbit, nice and smooth operation now hahah

cold start and idle walk around

valentines day gift for the truck 12psi

so its been doing really well, time to up the boost, since it makes 4psi you can assume connecting top and bottom will make 2x the boost 8 psi, and disconnecting the wastegate entirely will make 12psi.

so i totally disconnected the WG and it makes 12psi!

it also frys the tires from a 2nd gear roll.

i had time to cruise it and grab some video

4psi of boost, 12deg of timing, still working on the tune, meaning its barely tuned at all, haha but it drives and makes turbo noises.

truck video update

a couple of issues to solve yet but getting there!

home stretch with the twin turbo truck

well, busted ass today, hung the turbos, got all the intercooler piping cept for a crazy section in the front, from above the sway bar, to the intercooler in the front, going to an auto store tomorrow to grab 90 and 45 couplers and see what will work best for that, quit on that and finished all the wiring for everything, installed fuse panel, then we figured out what we wanted to do for the exhaust and figured fuck it, make both duals go back to where the stock exhaust was, more length should calm it down, blowing it out the passenger side in front of the tire like a lightning, so fabbed up all that today, and welded in a bung for the wideband. plugged in the stock narrow bands up front, all the couplers are connected nice for the turbo outlets, replaced the center driveshaft piece today with the right one finally...

also mounted the oil return pump to the frame. finished all the wiring and hoses for that...

everything is looking good, very very few things left to do.

should be ready to fire up and let the motor, coolant and trans come up to temp, check for leaks, and make sure everything is full.

then if all is well maybe it will move under its own power?!

4l80e and converter installed, and some other details

well we got the trans and the converter in no problem, the trans mount is a little beat, none of the parts stores had em, so we will try some others tomorrow or order that off the internet, also the driveshaft is 2 piece, and has a center support and bearing, that bearing rubber isloator thing is shot, i got a replacement but turns out now that we cut mine out, it does not fit, haha, so i need  one that fits, after this i just decided to get the cold side piping done, thats all clamped in place, a little tight to the belt, but not hitting, might have to hammer it or get a 45degree for the throttle instead of a 90, on top of that i finished the wiring for the fuel pumps and meth and oil pumps, i just have to connect them to a fuse panel tomorrow, i ran out of spares haha.

also drilled the stock washer fluid tank for the methanol kit, thing holds nearly 2 gallons... ran the lines, drilled and tapped the intake pipe now that that is in place, and primed the system. T'd the hobbs switch for that meth pump into the intake where the map sensor is plugged in and set it for 6psi of boost.

i also got a blackbear harness for LS1 fans since i found a deal on a set of LS1 fans, connected all that cept for the AC connection, have to get the car running and test for the AC clutch power wire to make sure i tap the right one.

other than that list, there is still a bunch more to do.

welder is out of welding gas...
haha
