    Gen 2

    Ok so my gen 2 light is very dim, actually I can't see it at all in the day light. To turn it off and move the voltage gauge into the green I have to rev the sh** out of my motor. Both alternators were rebuilt less than a year ago. My gen 1 light is bright and just takes a light tap of the...

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    If anyone could help out: I am looking to buy about the first 6 inches of a stock 6.5 downpipe for use with my gm 4 turbo. I need it basically just for the flange to finish my turbo project. I could also use the clamp. Thanks, Mike

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    I have the stock cdr, I put it infront of the airfilter so it would still vent normally, but it would re enter the engine. I have a piece of 3 inch pipe welded to the turbo for now. There was not enough room to go inside the frame. You have to remove the rear battery.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    I used two exhaust manifold gaskets to gain the clearance I needed. Using both gaskets, all of my lines and injectors clear everything fine.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    I think our power is probably really close, I mean were both only pushing 10 lbs of boost and we are running the same amount of fuel. Yeah I knew a banks kit would be a lot easier, but I couldn't afford it and I always enjoy a little challenge.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    My fuel gauge doesn't work and the majority of my driving takes place offroad, gravel roads so I can't tell you for sure.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    Yes you remove the pump to put a block off plate that you send the oil through. I have noticed a huge change in power. The engine itself is much quieter (coming from straight piped) but that turbo whistle makes it sound like a semi.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    It is not necessary, but it is the easiest way to drain the oil from your turbo. You could also weld a bung on to your oil pan.

    if it is white smoke I would assume a glow plug is bad.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    When I went to start the turbo project on my 84 cucv blazer I saw that there were many questions on how to turbo a 6.2, but no way of showing how to do it. So I decided to document my process and create a pictorial tutorial. I will probably add more as I remember more. Keep in mind I am 17...

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    Install the upper part of your intake. Note, on turbo400 equipped vehicles you will run into clearance issues with the vacuum modulator on the side of your injection pump. I just rotated my all of the way out of the way. My shift points are now a little high, but not to bad. You can also...

    Jumpstarting with cucv

    So if the front battery is 12V and you can hook 12V stuff up to it, can you jump start and be jump started if you hook up to the front battery? This is assuming that your rear battery is good. (on a side note my m1009 is succesfully turbo now I will write a tutorial eventually.)

    So with an adjustable modulator you could ditch the entire vacuum setup?

    they had different tranmissions, that didnt use the same vacuum set up like a turbo 400.
