Reading this almost makes me wonder if I shouldn't go ahead and install a petcock drain in the bottom of my tank (like the aircraft type that are under the wings) to get rid of all of the water that might show up.

I wouldn't mess with the cooling line in the intake. They are acting as a very indestructible intercooler of sorts. Even the stock turbo running 4psi or so is very hot air and the charge gets cooled by the water, even if it is 200 degrees. Look at the supercharged 3.8L v6 in an older 99-02 grand...

Don't forget the magnetic drain plug!!!

oops-- forgot to include how easy these are to hook up... 12vdc on a three-way switch for the internal fan (low-high-off) and 2 coolant lines. It's about 6x8x6 in size and mounts almost anywhere. I'm going to be installing one in the back for hunting season.

If you want an even more compact and hotter unit, try the rear heaters for toyota landcruisers (76-79 models). There are several other companies that make these for jeeps too. I would suggest to look at man-a-fre for the heater if you have any interest.

I emailed that guy a while back and I never got a reply. Sounds like we will be "expecting" at the same time... If my friend in Wyoming falls through bringing me his, then I am going with Clark... Less restoration I have to worry about, and more time to concentrate on my turbo kit I am researching.

We had problems of batteries dying in the Marines. We found that using a small piece of rubber beneath the batteries, and using those cheap solar powered battery maintenance devices / chargers the problem went away. I don't have the greatest confidence with the lead-acid interstate batteries...

Ahhh continental engines.... I've flown hundreds of hours on them. One thing is for certain; they are vastly underpowered, built like brick shithouses, and rarely have a failure. That is partly because of the large displacement with very little power output I imagine. I believe my father's plane...

I will do that. Glad to see the board is back up. My deuce willl be here shortly, and then we can get to work. From what I can find, the turbo is only a 4psi unit. That makes sense, seeing that there is no wastegate or intercooler, the charge is going to be very hot! I'll keep doing my homework...

Anyone have level 3 TM's for the MF engine on cd?

LMK if you need a hand in the development area. I'd be glad to provide the donor deuce or 5'er. I've got a ton of turbo parts laying around from my work on my wife's viper, my friends turbo Porsche 996, my SRT-4 and access to his shop (welding/fab and body/mechanical). We've been "turboing"...

OMG I never thought the Army carried such an attention to detail... LOL (Just a poke from a Marine vet - Capt / C-130 Pilot)

Just a thought - anyone ever tried a boost controller on the stock turbo? I haven't seen a compressor map of the turbo, but most applications can run +3 to5 psi safely. Tuning the injectors would be a neat project too.
