The 5 Day Thrash Begins !!!!!
- Thread starter TrentNell
- Start date
Looks good Trent, im not sure if you can run it a different way or not, but 90s off the cooler for your water will slow down your flow, if you could change it, i would put straights on.
This is really great.
So Trent,
Status? ....... where are you at now?
Did the parts come in?
I would like to know if it will light!:thumb:

Yes the parts came in , but its not looking like we will be done in time for Redding , we will be short on time by 1/2 a day best I can figure
, the truck is done , I fired it up a bit ago and so far just everything on engine and trans is checking out great , no leaks , sounds and runs great but still have to plumb in the whole coolant system which requires fabbing some parts still , finish the exhaust system , hood pins , and a few other little things , biggie to do just flat ran out of time :baby: .The plus side is I can run the truck local next weekend so at least it should be ready to make some passes !!!!!!

That is both great news and at the same time horrible news. It's good to see it coming together, but I'm sure you're disappointed you won't be able to make the race. The good news is, if you don't have any trouble getting it to light at RMR, you should be good just about anywhere.
I kind of see what you're doing with the exhaust. Are you going to route it under the turbos over to the passenger's side from there? Any particular reason you didn't flip flop the turbos so the primaries are on the other side?

Thanks guys , I am a little bummed out today but we tried our best and have put a huge amount of time into this build , so i wasnt willing to cut any corners to make this race , just want it to be finished properly so its good and reliable .
Ya my first plan was to put the secondary's on the passenger side , but flipped them to get the IC tubes as short as possible , the whole lay out was basically base around keeping every pipe as short as possible , including the exhaust and m y original plan was to punch them out the side of the fender on a 45 deg angle going up , not sure now as i am tempted to plumb over to the hood stack just not sure if its worth the extra tubing length and weight , and def too much distance to use aluminum bends $$ .
exactly , the large turbo ( high pressure in this case ) is light first then the low pressures kick in just like normal compounds , even though there are 3 turbo's there is still only 2 stages of compression .
Thanks Mika , its nothing as fancy as your build but we put a lot of thought and effort into it .

yup, the big turbo is the primary and the two "little" twins are the secondarys.

Everett the only thing that counts are dyno numbers 1700hp or go home
