Intercooler/bov mod and boost pipe done.:thumb:

 

Looks pretty close. whats left?

 

Water pump and hoses for intercooler/heat exchanger. Electric fan for heat exchanger. And all of the electrical wiring for pump and fan. Going to mount up the water pump tomorrow before I go to work.:thumb:

 

Nice wish I had a front mount so I could crank the boost up whenever but my s/c is nice to I guess it's gonna be nice to see that run again

 

Looks good

 

I like this pic.

:sweet1:

 

Used a chevy coil mounting bracket to hold and protect the electric pump motor from water damage. Not going to clean up the brackets yet. Gotta make sure that's where I'm gonna keep them.:thumb:

 

That's using your brain for sure there didn't even think about that for mine

 

Ended up having to re-rout the hoses and pump location. Didn't work correctly on the first configuration. Even cut a hose to short.:facepalm: It does work good now. Really surprised how cool it keeps the intercooler in a hot engine bay with no turbo blanket or heat wrap on.:thumb::thumb: Also had to adjust the water/meth for 5psi boost. That mad a difference. :thumb: Had it set to full injection at 8psi boost.:facepalm: Still need to wire up the water pump and fan. Did go for a test run with the water pump hard wired in. :SWEET1::smitten: Looking forward to some track testing with just a 7psi boost spring.

 

Make sure to heat shield those hoses with some aluminum flex guard you can get at advance basically wire loom

 

Absolutely Keith. :thumb: Think I have some already in my garage somewhere.......

 

Looks awesome Stu. You have put a lot of thought and effort into this build. And it shows. :thumb:

Can't wait to see it run.

 

Loving this Stu!

 

Thanks Guys. This has been such a long turbo system build.......:blink: Really happy to be at this point.:beerchug::SWEET1:

If this turbo set-up works out well. You guys now have a blue print to build your own.:brows: :thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

I'm sure you will find something to "test" even when this setup is finished... LoL

 

What are you doing for PCV / engine breather setup? I've been battling this for several years on these stupid engines and finally built the 'ultimate' setup according to the Arringtion CCV bible. (google it)

 

What are you doing for PCV / engine breather setup?

That's a very good question Darell. Not sure. To be honest, haven't thought of that yet. Humm......

The truck isn't ready for 10-12 psi boost yet. Will need new fuel supply system, aluminum intake manifold, and bigger injectors. Going to try and stay with this KRC tune. After all, can only go up to 600enghp/640engtq with the Sharadon stage III trans.:sad: Already at 583enghp/629engtq at 8-9psi boost. It is what it is........:ermm:

 

Do what I did old dragster setup exhaust scavenger setup pulls around 2-6 in vacuum the entire run before I use to blow by dipstick out and build near 3-8psi and its very simple and keeps the intake spotless no pcv needed just send it out the exhaust

 

old dragster setup exhaust scavenger and keeps the intake spotless

Sorry Keith. Couldn't help my self.....:lol:

 

Unfortunately, this is what I changed from after trying it for the last few years. I found the check valves fail after a few hundred miles at best and actually pressurize the crank instead. I had dual scavengers and any little oil vapor going through them destroys the diaphragm, even with better quality ones like OEM Ford or GM air pump check valves. Moroso ones were crap. I haven't tested my current setup yet, but there are no valves to fail now.

 

It's just dual oil separators vented to a permanent vacuum source as in between the turbo inlet and air filter. The key is large lines (I used 3/4" ID) and properly performing oil separators that won't gunk up the turbo. Arrington makes a fancy one but I built my own as I deal with them daily at work in refrigeration, big and small. No PCV or check valves.

 

dual oil separators

Wow, that is a great idea Darell. :thumb::thumb: It would have to be a little bigger than your normal sized oil separators. Humm.....

 

It took me nine months to do the turbo kit build......:holysheep:

Need to replace the front suspension ball joints so it can be driven out of our little city. :blink::doh: Their squeaking and clunking bad......:sad:

 

Every post gets better and better. You FI guys have done a ton of engineering and it shows. Well Done..

 

I wouldn't call it engineering. More like medical science, guess and test.

 

Brother call it what you want but it takes determination and a vision to accomplish, not counting considerable resources ($$). Very impressive.

 

That really was a great read. :thumb::thumb:

 

My s/c had a 3/4 line running from the intake vent to the I take of blower and still built crankcase boost once I did the exhaust vents no more issues if setup correctly there is no way for exhaust to come back up if your really worried they have secondary check valves in the lines you can add just saying this is a tried and true method used for years and still today in drag racing

 

^^^ So how are you getting fresh air into the engine?

 

What's the need for fresh air the whole idea of the pcv system is to remove blowby and moisture that's evaporating from the system. Since I installed the vents the oil smells like oil again and not fuely

Either way its up to you what anyone runs for vents. If I need to I still have the blower intake port and a blocked port in manifold I can use of needed for fresh air
