Really? whatever dude.

No I'm not blind, I kinda wish I was now because I would take offence to what you said, out of respect for everyone who gave their opinion, I didn't want to contradict anyone? Some people said you have too, and some like yourself said its irrelevant. I checked the rocker covers on mine and...

go back a page I posted a youtube video of it running.

Here are some pics after I picked up my truck from the fab guy I used. He did a mirror image of the fender support for the right side. He also made the exhaust mount that welded up to the support pipe right on the bottom. The airfilter and tubing he ended up putting a bend in it to make it...

I still have to plug the oil ports in the rocker assembly. maybe that extra pound of boost will help the bogging in the lower RPMs in 4th gear

yeah its half inch, I talked to a cummins mechanic and he said it would be fine? I see your point though, I didn't see any smoke what so ever. I'll probably end up making another line then, great!

Well I finally got it done just about, just need to fab an exhaust mount, going to my fab guy to do it should be fine driving there. I also want to get the boost guage on there with a pyrometer, it seems way cooler than before no black smoke under load acceleration. I put a 17 fuel button...

thanks BJMCA, that is exactly the kind of help I could use, considering I've never worked on a deisel. So a huge thanks for your time!

I went ahead and installed mine backwards, like one of the other fellas on this thread, somehow the manifold would hit the coolant housing so I mounted it reversed, I drilled some holes for the guide pins on the head. I went ahead with a 5.5" 45 degree intake tubing with a .5" reducer but I'm...

Well finally started putting my turbo in, I ended up going with the backwards set up with the intake side of the turbo to the back like someone had done earlier in the thread. I had to mount my exhaust manifold upside down to make the turbo clear. Putting a new 4LHR turbo on mine. I have 3.5"...

thank you so much, its little info like this that can save me a whole day of looking for crap to fit at home depot or something. and on the intake I'm going to see if I can use the original intake tube off the air filter and go from there. Thanks again so much, I'm begining to love this...

Ok got my turbo, apparently its a 4LHR, I got my #17 button, I'm going to be probably using oval 3 1/2 tubing for the cross over making it go back by the firewall and into the intake side switching it back to 3 1/2 round tubing. I was going to start the process next week after this weekend with...

just saw this, thanks but already found one 2 weeks ago on ebay.

Ordered my 4LHR borg warner turbo today after talking to several people. apparently its good for 325 hp. I bought a #17 button from cummins, along with a turbo exit pipe with a clamp and some new exhaust manifold gaskets. Still gotta find where the **** button goes! lol Also I'm going to use 3...

yeah I understand that but with 53" tires my gps shows 72mph on any empty highway @2100 rpms. slightly down hill though. I just need it to get up the hills, I definitely "need" the turbo. On the turbo unit I want to go new, I know most of you said just find a donor motor and go to town with...

thanks went back to #72 and it was right there! perfect picture too. I knew I kept skipping the thread somewhere. anybody know a contact number for cumming parts/

just got my manifold its coming UPS tomorrow. now need a good new/rebuilt turbo and the adapters for them. I still need to know where to run the oil pressure line. I don't want to start the project until I've got everything down. I see where the drainage plug is going back into the...

Thanks Hooty, yeah I'll use that intake line for the boost, gotta figure out the button thing and where to buy it, I saw the forum on pump. I couldn't find the thread where it shows the oil cooler, I guess I'll check the truck out in the morning and go from there. I'm going to use oval...

Well I found the plug for the return line for the turbo, I just need a good photo if possible of the oil fitting for the pressure line, and there was something somewhere that I read where you have to plug something in the rocker covers or something like that. The other and final thing is the...

Ok guys just found a turbo unit for a NTC 290, I want to purchase a new turbo unit will a HX50 work? there are N14 and a whole mess of others. do you guys no which one is best bang for the buck or just overall the best one? I'm also about to tackle this job just like some of you, got some...
