Banks 6.2 turbo kit from a c30 on my m998?

[broylz]

Found a smoking deal on a 6.2 motor with the banks kit installed. Motor condition is unknown but turbo appears to be good with no noticeable shaft play. Is there any reason I can't swap the necessary parts into my low mileage m998 engine?

Yup. Take a look at the engine bay on the HMMWV. If it's the "factory" style setup with the turbo mounted in the middle of the manifold, you'll see the passenger footwell and heater core will prevent that. If it's one of the rare utmost front mount turbos, maybe. After a lot of modifying.

As pointed out, you can do it, but it isn't recommended. There are a lot of threads on here where people try to argue about how a side mount turbo will work. I think I have seen a picture of one installed once, maybe. The truck wasn't done though, just the turbo on there without most of the body still. Most of those threads die with the original poster fading off to frustrated oblivion I can only guess.

If you do it, take pictures and post about it. Otherwise, start with a turbo truck and the center mount turbo. It actually works.

It is a side mount. Thanks for saving me from an unknown hassle.
