As the title says I am installing the H2E kit this weekend and a full ferramic clutch from Valair.

I have the 6.ooh cooler installed and the tubes that came with the kit fit nicely. I also have the Dieselsite boot kits that fit my application. Darn are they expensive!

I have a resurfaced SMF Flywheel (thanx fishmandotcom) waiting also. Do the DMF and SMF flywheel bolts interchange? I would think so.

I have new uppipe donut gaskets (yeah no bellows). I also have a new clutch fork from Ford. I am going to reuse the slave cylinder since it is not that old. If it is bad I can grab one pretty quick.

Any suggestions?
What am I forgetting?
I am just trying to think out loud so give me what you think I may have over looked.

I really appreciate it guys.

 

Neal, you are forgetting that your doing my truck next!!! lol. Looks like you got all your ducks in a row.

Make sure you have some good gear wrenches to help get that stock turbo off.

I can get ya some billowed up pipes..lol

 

Yup Farm I will be glad to do it. Just bring it down here. You will have to wait till I get my shop though but I will be glad.

Another question: What size are the fuel lines on the back/bottom of the fuel bowl? I am pretty sure 3/8" but can't remember.

 

Neal it looks like you have everything under control. The only thing I can think of is you might need more time! Those sounds like two big project to tackle in a weekend in a campground.

The fuel supply hoses are 3/8 and the return is 5/16

 

I am going to my brothers shop. This one I can't pull off in the campground. LOL I also have a day or two deoending on what I need next week. I hope to be done Monday.

RE: the hoses, IIRC the return is not needed to be a heat resistant hose is it?

 

Good on the shop! The hose that I use is pretty standard rated hose and is good to 400 degree's or so. Most diesel rated/pressure rated hose will be fine.

 

Yeah.. it took me most of the day to get the old turbo off... I think a weekend would be pushing it.

 

dont forget the PICTURES!!! of the turbo install. if ya can.. wow neal did you rob a bank? nice goodies man. good luck bud

 

the less we know... the less they can supina us for.............

 

I am hoping that with the tranny off the turbo will go a bit faster.

 

Ahh.. you don't need to take the tranny off!

The h2e kit uses the factory up pipes right?

You just need to find a person that has long skinny arms to reach the back right pedestal bolt. At least that what I did.

 

Farm- I think hes doin a clutch as well, therefor the tranny off situation

Neal as far as suggestions- Sell me your truck once its done.

 

No....theyre different

 

Neal
You're doing the aluminum intakes at the same time too right? You'll probably have to modify and relocate the bracket for the GPR.

 

That would be easy... Hopefully the 3 inchers fit because I have to do them aswell.

I thought the h2e kit just used a different collector? Not the actual upipes?
