    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Went for a little longer drive today. The power is definitely impressive. I haven't really "smacked it" yet. Just wanting to get everything bedded in when it comes to the wrap/exhaust/turbo. But hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to do a video of 0-60 comparison. The truck no longer just...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    In typical fashion, things never go as planned for me. But I did manage to get in a quick test drive today. I only got up to 50 tops just cruising around the block near the shop. Never really went WOT or anything. But the power is certainly there. No longer a lame dog at getting moving. My...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Here's a thread about the adapter I designed. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-intake-adapter-for-bmi-commander-turbo-system-for-a-snorkle.202133/ If someone doesn't have the means to print this, I can make one for you.

    HMMWV intake adapter for BMI commander turbo system for a snorkle

    A little background can be read/seen here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/turbocharging-a-hmmwv-with-bmis-kit.201878/post-2354178 This is a very simple file I created to make a flange to sandwich between the BMI air box and allows you to plumb up a silicon elbow to connect to a snorkel.

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Sorry for the delay folks, but progress is happening. I've had some shipping mishaps with parts for the exhaust. But I'm happy to say it was started up this afternoon and I was able to see a pound or two of boost by power braking it. I managed to make the 3" downpipe fit along side the...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    So life in general has been kicking my tail lately and I haven't been able to devote time to this like I wanted to. This weekend I know I have to work Saturday too. But I'm going to work as I can in the evenings on it. I managed to get a few things buttoned up while I'm waiting on some parts...

    CNC Mill

    I need to learn fusion a lot more. And especially the CAM side of it for my anillam controller.

    Value of Banks Turbo kit?

    IMHO the same that a complete 6.5 take out engine would cost since they're basically the same. Years back I bought a 6.5 to turbo my CUCV for $600. I sold the 6.5 long block for $200.

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    I've had my CUCV turbocharged for probably 10 years now. I've even towed way more than I should. (26K gross at least) I've never had a problem. The BMI kit comes with boost and EGT gauges as well. If you keep it under 10 psi you'll never have an issue. The power gains have been very...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Another update, I had planned on videoing the entire install. But Murphy (murphy's law) is really kicking my tail with it. No fault at all of the BMI kit. Just my sour luck. The HMMWV hadn't been driven in about a year honestly. I took it out prior to all this to a friend's son's birthday...

    how do I add pics to a thread

    That's related to Apple. If you're trying to share from a device that doesn't have the image, Apple tries to share from the cloud instead of copying it locally and then uploading. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    We've spun up a new forum here and I thought I'd start with a new project of mine. I'm turbocharging my HMMWV. My HMMWV started life as a M1038 2 man soft top. It has gone through a few changes. To a 4 man soft top. And lastly I've set it up as a slantback with a full turret. I've also...

    Messages from new members replying to wanted ads - PLEASE READ

    I've managed to keep a good number of these scammers away with the manual approval system for new accounts. But I had one slip in Sunday. If you had a message from Kyle789, he is a scammer. I've censored his email address so hopefully anyone who hasn't read his replies will not have a valid...
