  1. If you do happen to pull the T case apart from the transmission it isn't very hard. Just 6 bolts around the trans 2 drivelines and the shift linkage!
  2. Yes. There is a noticeable difference on the in cab voltage meter depending on the ambient temperature. The colder temps make the altenator go up to around 14.5V while when it is warm I will show just under 14V. Like MoparMan said, if you can get your grid heaters to kick on (Using a resistor in the IAT sensor or ED's fooler) and measure it while it is under a load you could experience different results.
  3. I do! Where would you guys mount one? I was thinking up by the 4WD shifter, as it would only be used for tuning purposes
  4. I considered it, but I didn't have a drive pressure gauge, so I decided to run it on boost pressure. I now have an industrial turbo, but I would like to put in a drive pressure gauge. I am heading back to school shortly so it won't be happening soon.. but maybe during Christmas
  5. Ed how goes the secret squirrel project? I haven't heard much lately......
  6. I was running 100's when I had it on, and I think they might have been a bit much for that turbo. 40's I think would spool it fairly well. I was making well over 40psi with the edge cranked, so I think those would be fine with your edge turned up.
  7. I had one other guy with me to make sure I didn't drop it and to help me stab it. I've done a couple clutches before and these aren't too bad just a bit heavy sometimes! I usually try to keep the green guy hidden!
  8. Here I'm going to try to go through everything I did to put an he351cw off of a 2005 CR Cummins onto my 2002 24valve Cummins. There may be some redundant pictures in here, so bear with me! I started by buying the parts I knew I would need. 2 turbo mounting studs from Cummins (I bought the stock length for an 05) These screwed into the bottom of the manifold. The other two were plenty long. 2 longer oil return tube mounting bolts 2 90degree exhaust elbows from Litz Auto (I think they measured 3x3 in length) 1 HE351cw wastegate plug from DAP.http://www.dieselautopower.com/product-p/he351%20solenoid%20cap%20tapped.htm T3 turbo manifold gasket. http://www.dieselautopower.com/product-p/he351%20t3%20gasket%203949530.htm Oil return Gasket. http://www.dieselautopower.com/product-p/turbo%20oil%20gasket%203937706.htm Next I fabbed up the wastegate holder. I chose to use the stock wastegate actuator and build a bracket that mounted off of the oil return bolts. I don't remember the size of the angle iron I used, but it really doesn't matter as long as there is room to bolt and weld everything up. Next I clocked the turbo. I did this by using two small punches and channel lock pliers. It isn't fun, but it's doable! Here are some pictures with the turbo mounted, clocked, and the actuator hooked up. Next I made the charge pipe. If you are doing this just go buy the one from DAP! It'll make your install 1000 times easier! I made mine, and it took a ton of time. I chopped off the end of my stock pipe where it connected to the turbo. I attached that to a 90degree piece of 3 inch exhaust piping from Litz Auto. (They were expensive too) I then made a short piece extending down and attached another 90degree piece of exhaust piping. I then cut the stock pipe coming out of the intercooler, and spent an hour or two tacking, twisting and grinding before finding the perfect fit. Here are some pics. I attached the exhaust using the 05 stock elbow, and an hx40 downpipe that I cut the end off of. Here are a few pictures of when I put a Batmo wheel on I have more pictures to provide if anyone is interested. If you are doing the swap and would like some advice or help with something don't hesitate to PM me! All together it was a great turbo, I just wanted to go a bit of a different route with my truck and cool the egts off a bit more than this turbo could. I'll add more to this post as I remember things! MoparMan feel free to keep this here or move it as you see necessary. I just figured more guys look here than in the performance section!
  9. I put in my southbend without splitting tranny and transfer half and without a transmission jack. I just used a floor jack with a rachet strap around it. It is a fairly straight forward project.
  10. My cooler was located on the supply side to the VP. It ran from the LP up front to the cooler, back to the VP, then the rest was normal.
  11. When I bought my truck is had a small fuel cooler in front of the radiator. It just looked like a minneature transmission cooler. I removed it due to a weak lift pump, but I can post pictures of what was on there if you would like
  12. You can still burn it if the RPMs are too high and the turbo isn't flowing enough CFMs of air to keep up with the engine. When I had an hx35 I ran out of air at 25-2600 rpm and it made the EGTs spike. I've never ran out of air with this new turbo though
  13. I'm not sure what an auto has to do with anything?? I'd be willing to bet your EGT gauge was off at least a bit. I have sustained that hot or hotter for that amount of time and never had a problem. I will admit this was before I came to this site and educated myself!
  14. It could have the old 12 valve style, which vents off of the Tappet cover. That is on the driver side of the engine behind the ECM.
  15. I used DAP's plug. I guess it could be bleeding back.....
  16. You have a very valid point with the drive pressure, but I know for a fact that the egt's did decrease, the turbo lit faster, and II was able to push more boost. I'm sure my drive pressures were way out of wack, but I believe the batmo did help
  17. What RMP are you lighting at? I have read that an aftermarket exhaust manifold will make these harder to spool than the stock one becuase the new one flows a higher volume with less velocity. I am by no means an injector guru, but I think the 40's would spool 35-40 lbs out of the turbo.
  18. Nope! It works flawlessly, I just have a good friend in the performance business who can get industrial parts at cost. What don't you like? Do you have the stock wheel, or a batmo?
  19. I will be starting with a single this summer, then should be stepping up to twins next summer
  20. It was short, but I have decided to pair a set of industrial injection turbos, so I'm sure someone can use this! The batmo got a bad name because people over tighten the nut on them. If they are properly torqued to spec (like mine is) there are zero issues! If someone doesn't bite on this soon I'll be throwing it up on CF! Thanks for the replies. Keep the opinions coming!
  21. I've decided to go a different route on my truck, so I am going to sell my HE351CW turbo. I figured I would post this turbo on here and see if anyone was interested in it before throwing it up on CF. It came off of an 05 cummins with about 130xxx miles on it. I got it, built a manual wastegate for it (I have pictures of everything) and put a batmowheel on it. What do you guys think it is worth? I have the cost of the turbo, 400$ in the batmowheel 60$ in the wastegate plug from DAP and a few other odds and ends. If anyone here is interested PM me and we can talk. If you have a guess of what is is worth let me know! Thanks - Tyler
  22. Mulcher, were you doing the swap yourself?
  23. The HX has a bigger exhaust housing. It is either a 12 or 14cm where the HY has a 9cm housing. The hx was 98.5-02 on the manuals and 01-02 autos were the HY35. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
  24. My tappet cover didn't have insulation on it when I replaced the original gasket. I personally would throw it awa and not worry about it
  25. I have an HX that I am getting rid of if you are interested
