    header material...

    Anyone in this thread actually built a set of headers/up-pipes for a Dmax from mild steel and had an issue? Thick or thin wall? Obviously more likely to have an issue on a high drive pressure engine. Just curious if anyone has any real world experience with mild steel header/pipe failure.

    Trim Ring for hood stack???

    That's why I asked. :) Both the ones he's asked for have been 5". Maybe that's why we're on cover #2. I'll blame it on the metric system. :spit: Oops, didn't see your edit. I win. 1-0, your move. :hug:

    Thought Simon's hood stack was 5"?

    Turbo Blanket

    Not really a power adder, more of an efficiency item to make your power adders/engine work better. Lower underhood temps, lower intake charge temps, lower wide open EGT's. I'll be honest, they aren't miracle workers, just blankets, but they do make noticeable improvements. Thanks everyone for...

    Duramax Street Rod

    Thanks for all the compliments on the build and kind words about my Grandfather. He was a pillar of our family and the community he lived in. A huge inspiration to me and an even bigger loss. Just trying to get back to normal as this past month has been a tough one. The build isn't...

    Duramax Street Rod

    Quick update for those interested. Body is final mounted. Cage is done inside and out the back. Engine/Trans mounts are done, steering is in. Brake master cylinders are mounted. Need to get engine/trans in and build the turbo kit for it before I can finish the cage out the front and final mount...

    Honestly, it wasn't really a noticeable change in initial spool up on a VVT truck. (Stock turbo, nozzle) They get quite a bit better in mid-range spool up though. They come up on boost harder/quicker once you're underway, passing gear, etc. Underhood temps are night and day difference. It...

    Big new project about to start

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Either way it sounds like it will be a lot of fun for a father/son project.

    Engine teardown report

    You may very well be the smartest guy on this board. I don't know a lot of people (me included) who would have parked it and not fired one more shot in anger. Good luck on the new build!

    Coming along decent. Working on the cage now before I start putting systems in, cooling, fuel, etc. How's things going for you?

    Sorry to hear, especially during this time of year. Glad you're doing better though, sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

    Water to air i.c. D.d. Possible?

    Don't get upset because everyone didn't blindly jump on board with your idea. Honestly, this isn't the first time I've seen someone propose a W/A on a DD and these guys were way more helpful with information on why it might not be a good idea. At the end of the day though, it's your money...
