I like what you've done to simplify the exhaust. I have a piece of flex pipe like that running as a turn-down to the ground until I can do something better. I think I would like to replace the stack with stainless from the factory flex pipe out. Maybe add an aero-turbine muffler.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on the J bend. I see you are eliminating the bulk of it, something I have thought about doing. It seems the purpose of the elongate J was to help keep rain water from getting to the turbo as easily when sitting. Are you running a stack flap?

Making it up as you go along is most of the fun anyway. I threw together a little project at work this week that had me thinking of your build. And I wish I could say I never thought about just giving up and taking a nap under a vehicle after long hours of wrenching!

Here's a photo of the remote valve on my m109. I'll see if I have pics of the dash.

Measuring your intake temps?

That's why the scroll design of the BMW system is so effective. However, they got a little greedy with the passage size on some models and they are prone to condensation freezing up in them and causing issues. The air velocity on a gas engine pulling manifold vacuum is much higher than...

BMW uses a "cyclone separator". It's incredibly effective, but I'm not sure a diesel creates enough vacuum to get the flow needed, even on the "clean" side of the air filter. One of my BMW engines at 227K miles never burned a drop of oil even over a 10k mile interval.

$300??? WHY?? Cuz its pretty? Make one. Rusty has a nice tank picked out already.

With a catch can, and it plumbed to the intake, you can run it the same whether fording or driving.

I was just messing with you. I happened to be reading that thread because my truck isn't heating up as quickly as I'd like and found it humorous that you were now gearing up to install electric fans after making that statement a couple of years ago. Now I'm going to go look up those electric...

HA! I was just reading this thread where RustyStud decided that electric fans were a bad idea. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?26479-Changing-the-thermostat-questions/page5 Funny how opinions change.

IIRC, he's routing it back to the air intake.

Ah, I didn't realize they were surplus. I assume they are good rugged units then. Almost afraid to ask how much they are worth.

Im interested to see the performance and durability of those electric fans. I like the idea of taking that constant drag off the engine, as long as your alternator is making enough juice to keep them turning. Then again, I like that the deuce is almost "bomb proof" and electrics will only...

Most things on automation direct are very budget friendly, and surprisingly good quality. *i have no affiliation with them, but I use their stuff at work fairly often. thats also where i get my 24v LED indicator lights for around $5 ea.

A 5/3 or 5/2 toggle valve with one of the outputs plugged should do what you need. Without anything electric. http://www.automationdirect.com/static/specs/nitradirectionmanualvalves.pdf
