"lil red sled" and my self are going to toss one of these VGT turbos on our rigs...braden got a killer deal on THREE holset he351ve turbos off the 6.7l cummins for FREE!!! so why not, if it doesnt work like we hoped then no big deal....

First off i just want to say these things are F'n massive...when lil red sled said they were big i was just like "ok what ever, it'll be fine" but when you see them in person you know there is no chance that these will fit in engine compartment with a big V8 IDI in there....







next to stock turbo on my engine





so needless to say we will have to "remote" mount them. they will go on the inside of the framerail near the T-case. I have a few NA factory exhaust pieces, i will cut off the flanges and weld new pipe how we need it routed. One thing that appeared to be an issue was the angle of the inlets and outlets of the housing in relation to oil feed / oil drain...so it needed to be clocked.

with the housings off there are little guide pins that need removed in order to be able to clock the housings so here are some pics of that....









and since i had the comp housing off i figured i might as well remove the silencer ring (braden said he wanted lots of whistle ) although ive read that with the removal HP does drop slightly...since we might want to re install it later down the road id make it into and "anti surge" style ring



3 pins lock it in....they need drilled









so now we need to rig up a mechanical spring set up for the vgt adjustment arm....in case you guys aren't sure what i mean i made a small video....

need to buy a few things for the actual install, and will update then. braden might try to use the factory "snail" hat or purchase a R&D intake, ill be going into my intercooler.

 

That will be a cool setup for sure man. Wmoguy over at OBN did the same thing. He even remote mounted his as well and it seems to still spool decently. You don't think even by moving batteries and other stuff that you could fit it similar to where Racin mounted his turbo? I do realize it is HUGE but it is something to look into. You might even be able to trim the fender as well if you went that route. Also, I'm taking it that you are doing Braden's first? How soon do you guys think it will be on? I'm excited to you guys push some boost lol. Also I think its time for both of your trucks to get some studs as well... You are gonna need them...

 

yea when ever lilredsled wants to buy his parts well make it happen....if not soon, ill beat him to it and do mine first . bradens truck is already pretty quick...he was 220/460 somethin at the wheels on the dyno...with about 20psi. he just wants more whistle

 

Il do it ASAP. Il buy an intake from racin for sure

 

lil red sled, you made 220/460 with an 093?? thats impressive. Youv been running 20lbs. with no studs?!

 

here are his runs

his first run had higher numbers....thats why we thought we'd video the gauges second time round LOL

Those turbos are definitely going to clean up that extra fuel a lot quicker for sure. The 093 never even did totally clean up the smoke on the dyno run...

Any other mods you guys are planning on doing with these setups?

 

i knew it would take you too long to come to your senses Brandon.

 

Subscribed. I read the thread on OBN as well and can't wait to see what you guys come up with. My first thought as well was wether or not it would fit under the hood like Racin's. I think it'd be worthwhile to relocate the batteries if it allowed room under the hood for the turbo.

 

that was discussed in the thread on OBN and it was found to not have enough room.

 

you could make room in there, i am sure of it when will you ever bottom out the front suspension anyway

 

20 psi for the dyno. I don't usually try to go above 10 psi while driving around

 

That turbo honestly looks just as big as the ones on our ISX's, did I mention they're big?

 

I think with my hood mods I might be able to make it work under there. Even with my supercharger.

 

I think that is he551ve in an ISX isn't it?
