    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    that would probably be best .i'm not sure how much you'll gain from porting a d turbo or if it will keep up with the fuel curve on a lds :roll:

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    hmm not sure youll need a waste gate .what rpm are you planning on running it up to. i have mine turned up pretty far and am running about 27 psi on my ldt-1d :-Di would bet that if you put the same turbo i have on a lds that is running higher rpm lets say 2900 you will be in the area of 30-...

    15.5 spare on deuce (pics)

    electric winch for deuce

    it can and has been done but i havent seen any electric winches with the same line pull rating as the stock deuce winch and you need snatch blocks even with the stock winch.the deuce winch has a 10000lbs line pull and a 10000lb electric winch will have a line pull rating around 4000-5000 thats...

    15.5 spare on deuce (pics)

    the tire goes straight up and down no rubbing the only thing that makes it closer is when the rears grow at higher speeds it didnt get any closer by flexing it out:roll:

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    all deuces were made to be able to do 56 from the factory .gas motors had dirrect drive for high gear and deisels had od to compesate for the lack of rpm . there is no way to say how many turns is safe to go since every engine is set different as a starting point .best to use a turbo gage and...

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    well .just like with anything driver is durabilty. you put a 30yr vet truck driver in a race car and he wont brake it .but you put a 16yr old kid in a semi and he will kill the clutch in less than 10000miles when the trucker will make it last a million miles:roll:

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    200hp is an estimate from the difference in boost vs stock boost at the same rpm .i have a coworker that is an engine builder and we were doing the math together from what he sees on other turbo engines on the dyno .i have no pyro on my truck sorry

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    on my truck it actually made it faster i wasnt getting enough fuel to get it up to gov speed .it would only rev to 2400-2450 before now it will hit 2600 no problem. but you are correct i meant quicker not faster there is a difference .i gained a couple mph with the extra rpm. like i said every...

    Concrete

    6 inches is plenty 4 would probably be fine for parking if you want to be able to put a lift in later i would do 6 and do mesh and rebar. plus the area just at the outsides of your tires i would do 8 inchs .but remember all concrete will crank at some point .thats why you use rebar to keep it...
