Hey guys was just looking on you tube and saw some guys are making home made controllers for the 351 ve, dose any one have any experince with this, good, bad, or anything:shrug: thanks:thumb1:

Thanks Jake for your ! So where did your purchase all of your parts? Like 6.7 manifold, used? Also the351 turbo? I was interested in finding out the details you provided. Thanks again, Dave

Dave, I purchased my Turbo from my mechanic (who happens to be close friend) so it was local, he knew the truck knew the milage and condition, if you can find one local that in my mind is best...but as mentioned Ebay works, CompD, DieselTruckResource etc..usually have them in the classified. As for Manifold, I will not be using the 6.7 that option is reserved for Manual trucks...because it set's the Turbo down (towards the ground) for us 2nd gen guys, which confilicts with Auto trucks and our Transmission Heat Exhanger. I will opt for the Adapter method, there is a guy on Ebay that currently makes an adapter for the T3 to T4i conversion. The Turbo Exhaust housing is funky on these turbos..it is a "cross" or "hybrid" flange...they call it a T4i I have a CAD for sizing it...upon request. You could also seperate the 3 sections and then have the Exhaust Housing (turbo) plugged, machined, drilled and tapped for the T3 bolt pattern. For me it will be less expensive to go the adapter route as I do not have access to a mill to machine or drill press to re-drill and tap. Other parts are with Links.... These two links are for Coolent hook ups...you will need a hose clamp..it isnt perfect but will work w/o leaks. Obviously you will need 5/8" Heater Core hose.

Hi Dave.

Yes bought mine exhaust manifold from Ashley Black, goes by BlacksDiesel on Comp Diesel. Howie on ebay, just search HE351VE, is a great guy and have bought 2 of him. The second one had a ding on the front cover and HTT wouldnt do the upgrade to that so Howie sorced another front cover and shipped for free.

Nice, thanks for the parts hunt secrets!

--- Update to the previous post...

I bought mine from competitiondiesel in the classifieds, but see them for sale on ebay as well.

Cool, Thanks!
