i have a question on the nonwastgated ats turbo i ran this turbo on my 73 f-250 until i upgraded to the 96 powerstroke and i ran a manual, i am working on putting it on my dads 92 f-250 auto and i noticed that the tranny dipstick comes up the back of the passenger cylinder head and looks like it will be in the way of the up-pipe and down pipe cause both run up the passenger side of the tranny, do i need to get a different tranny dipstick tube or will this one work and it will be a tight fit.

 

i bent mine up to go to the right of the down pipe the i used the original dipstick tube and it is 1 1/2 inch away from the dp when u bend it use a pipe but carefully cause it is pretty much sheet metal and will kink in a heart beat

 

right side facing the engine the drivers side

 

passenger side head

 

 

you can see my dipstick by my down pipe dont mind my intake lol

 

off topic but nice job on the intake rodney!

 

thanks but i got the wrong tee i have intake mark 2 coming soon it will be a y tee instead of what i have now it works like a charm!!

 

gonna paint it black or royal blue to match the body of the truck

 

the non wastgated turbo sides right behind the intake and the compreeor housing is on the driver side the intake and the turbine housing is on the passenger side and the turbine housing is a giant casting were it starts at the passenger manifold and tubine housing and half of the down pipe is all on unit.

 

this turbo i have is a ford factory turbo

 

sorry to continue the off topic even more lol.
but did you guys running that intake under hood,see the test results on OBN latley (like yesterday-might be on first page still) where he saw about 70 degrees drawing in air from outside,and like 140 under the hood.cruising down the pike at 65 or so.
thats like 70 degree hotter air your putting into the engine.
try the ram air,or cowl induction Ronnie.
(nope its now on page two.its called: "Intake Air Temperature Experiment")
anyway,if your not signed up over there,a guy bought a digital temp gauge with appropriate sender,and ran tests while going down the road,and idle.long story shot,its hot under there,and the cooler and more dense the air,the better performance and fuel economy you'll get.

 

the metal on the air filter's face gets warm to the touch like lukewarm i would say 75 degrees after a long drive i mean 6 hours so i dont think i need to justify ram air for now also it is hanging above the ps pump not the manifolds

 

thats what i plan on doin i have all the parts to do so but i wanted to wait till after i did the hydraboost upgrade first

 

hate to bring people off the intake discusion but has anyone intalled a nonwastegated ats turbo on a automatic idi
