Kelly,
I did the turocharger conversion to mine and I'm very pleased with the results. The non turbo trucks use 2 1/2" ext. pipe and the turbo trucks use 3 1/2" tube so the pass through hole for the stack will have to be opened up, I used a jig saw followed by some metal files and it worked...
jodka,
I use corner of the tube steel when I bend the rod to create uniform bends. first I clamp the rod to the tube steel then I heat it gradually, when it turns bright orange I ( very slowly ) start to push it around the corner or the edge of the tube steel while still applying heat so the...
Will,
I made this one from 1/2" cold rolled round stock, bent it using 3x3x1/4" square tube steel and ran 1/2" x 20 threads on, took about 45 mins start to finish and looks just like the stock units.
If you want one made, let me know.
Jeff.
Devilman96,
Here's were I put mine with the advice from cranetruck and it works out perfectly.
I also included a couple pics of the pyro and boost gauges. As you can see I chose Isspro gauges 1 because there is no power required to operate the pyro unlike some other brands and 2 because I...

Big Mike,
I would take into consideration some of the following because I have never purchased anything from a G.L Auction.
How many dollars you will have to spend AFTER the purchase price, which,without a test drive its kinda hard to know if there is anything else that needs...

Iola, Wisconsin, Military vehicle and gun show, anyone ever been there for that event :?: , and if so are you going to attend again this year in August 12th & 13th :?: .
A friend of mine and myself are thinking of doing a convoy to the show with our M35s.
Boatcarpenter,
In regards to your power tap question,... I installed the convoy light kit on my Deuce and it came with everything for field installation including the wire diagram.
Power tap for the convoy lights is fed directly off of the circut breaker which is mounted right on the fire...
Mangus580 brings up an excellent point as far as raising the exhaust gas tempurature when the retarding the fuel injection timming. Has anyone done this conversion WITHOUT retarding the timming :?:
BTW, Thanks to all of you guys out there for your input and complements :) Very Much...
Jwaller,
Since the fuel injection timming remains the same yet I have been very easy on the accelerator but I did test it out.
Just cruising around 30 MPH steady speed there isnt much happening on the boost and the pyro reads 600 F .
45 MPH going up an incline ( about 8% and 1/8 mile long )...
It doesn't whistle at idle but when your driving it does have a distinct "whistle" to it upon acceleration and deceleration . Although its not the C turbo I really do like the way it sounds, Very deep and powerful.
