Looks like early 3- color Desert. Circa 1990 late to early 1992

Nice... anything turbo is fun. It is so easy, I'm astonished more folks don't do it.

I'm thinking CCKW... Can I use a lifeline?

That's why I'm CAREFULLY building this. True you'll only see 30K-50K out of a military motor, but that is mostly related to poor care and operation during its service. I know for a fact when I drove them, we used to blast the living shi+ out of them just hoping for them to break so we could sit...

WOW Talk about off-topic.... [thumbzup]

Those levers are for the improbability drive, if you're not sure how to use them, read the hitchhikers guide....

Dangit - I forgot to answer a lot of the other questions I have been getting... "Hey doc, why Holset, and not Garrett or AR?" Easy - Holset has a nice flange on it that works, is properly designed with regard to the vanes for the job, and is the BEST fit for this application. It makes big boost...

Oh - and your stock -1d should be boosting about 10psi peak, then it starts to surge back to 4-6 psi on top. This Holset is going to hold about 12-14 all the way up, and if you have some mega-built drag racing engine, you can run the full 42 psi with a 12x14x4 FMIC (Front Mount InterCooler for...

I don't see any disadvantages with that level. That's totally realistic. The only problem is if you'll miss using full throttle to climb small hills on the interstate, lol! I've got a Holset right now, that my buddy and I will be bolting up this weekend... will post results. Obviously, there is...

I need to correct that - I believe you'll need a 1000 ohm resistor on each side, make sure the wattage capablility is high enough to handle all of the trailer lights, and you should be fine. Now that I had a chance to think about it: 24V+----------^^^^1K ohm^^^^---12v+ Light bulbs 12v-...

Find an electrical calulator online - fairly easy math, but I can't remember it offhand... I THINK you're looking at a 10K resistor on each + and - sides to get to 12v.

Yeah - I'm pretty sure any alternator uses a line from the battery to power the field coil (edit: Isn't that why THREE lines go in and only two come out?) in order to create the energy needed to power up the magnet or whatever to start the electrical generation... So, yes; I suppose the...

I did - let me find the link..

Couldn't you just use a shifter knob from a truck? That should solve the switch issue.

Nothing too crazy. I'm looking to improve mileage and keep it reliable.

Looks like I've got my next road trip lined up. This is the nearest I can get to colorado for deuce stuff. Better bring my visa.

.... Dunno if this thread is still active, but I need an exhaust manifold off of a -1c and/or -1d mill. If anyone has that let me know. Thanks!

hmmm.... air assist. The pneumatic motion replaces pumping the hydraulic cylinder by hand. Good idea.

Wow - snag it! What a cool rig.
