RCD lb7 71

I picked mine up for 5700! 217k though and 2wd but its a nice truck. after making it 4wd and a sas I will really like it!
I believe Fleece dropped the IHI cheetah because the IHI housing when opened up to the max and with a matching wheel only flowed like 15%? more than stock. Basically a waste of money when it's going to fail tech for a stock turbo class and wont hold a candle to a true 2.5 s3 or s4.
Not sure if that ad had a price or not but I was told $3000 for the 71mm :spit:

really? you mean no one is in a hurry to mod the hell out of their new trucks. i bet most of those guys did up an lb7 cause they found one cheap and they didn't want to risk blowing up their daily drivers. i am only guessing though.
That's fine...but that would be a skewed example.
Think of the year breakdown...LB7s - 3.5 years, LLY - 1.5 years, LBZ - 1.5 years, LMM - 2.5 years, LML - TBD. The LB7 has been out the longest (i.e. more R&D time in the aftermarket)...I'd hope they'd have a fair showing.
I see the turbo discussion has changed since a price was listed.
I'm going back to watching my dvd of SDX '04.
A lot of people cant afford a new truck period... thats why they DD and mod the lb7 they have and can afford

There is a thread on diesel place about the 66mm version of this charger. I guess it's a whole new center section. The only thing the same is the cover and exhaust housing. Not sure on price but I bet a s400 would be cheaper. River city puts on a few pulls and the work stock class is a stock appearing class and doesn't matter what size the turbo is. So I imagine that's y they r building them
lol the d.t.466 is older than an lb7 and people still make them run.... the lb7 is a good runner... yeah they have injectors under valve covers. and they can be a pain to work on.. but they run good.. its all about set up..
I also think that the reason the IHI turbo hasnt had much R&D is because no ones knows much about them.... I mean you can get all kinda of parts for garret turbos... and garret makes alot of diffrent turbos... so its ganna take a little more work for the ihi... its not ganna be as easy as calling up engineered diesel and make a vvt cheetha
Also heard that the truck that has that 66mm charger might have an article in diesel power mag sometime. Not sure if that is true though.
Alright here is the info on them and the price.

somebody needs to get their head checked if they consider buying one of those

Better LB7 options are in the works, from elsewhere :thumb:
