Thanks for sharing the differences between the stock and aftermarket radiator. I was thinking of one of those but this makes me rethink that. My turbo is certainly different but I've not had temp issues at all even on hot days with a heavy load. The fan cycles on every few miles and on hills...

Awesome, that has got to feel great. I am really pleased with where I am at with mine and I am not trying to drag race just make it a much more usable truck, which the overdrive and 10psi boost does very well. I don't want to start seeing what else can break if I push it to hard. BMI had me...

Glad you found everything. I think your truck is awesome and from that other post with the manual wastegate I think you’re really close to it being perfect. These engines seem to need some air to wake up. The kit was around $4200 and has everything but I do need to reroute the exhaust this...

to you other question he said he bought the manual wastegate kit from BD Diesel.

Your numbers sound like what Logan Turner posted on the HMMWV owner’s Facebook group for a baseline run with a stock turbo truck. He then added a wicked wheel, turned the pump up 1/3 turn and added a manual waste gate and has a video on the freeway at 80 mph with 17lbs of boost!

Alright, as promised I finally got some videos of it running. They are a bit long, but I just left the gopro running and figured its more data. I'll post some pics of the EGT probe location as well. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-ongoing-restomod-m998ish-project.209121/post-2443649

Nice! I’ve not even had a chance to start mine in a week and now I’m shipping off to Boston for the week. Maybe later this week I’ll try to get some videos captured. We’re taking it and the M1102 trailer camping again once I return from the work trip.

That would be a great engine to have. I remember seeing those when they first came available through southern metals in Wilmington 2hr away from me. I should have jumped on one of those. They were selling them for relatively little on Facebook marketplace. when I get a chance sometime soon...

Any idea of the EGTs and boost? Any indications its over-fueled? I know my turbo is very different but I experienced the opposite so far. My operating temps have come down and the fan comes on much less frequently. Much of it is likely the overdrive transmission but even when I drive out of...

i neglected to take a picture when installing but here’s a picture from BMI. The drivers side exhaust comes via a crossover and mates up on the left. You can see the passenger side ports on this manifold. The upturn to the right is where the turbo mounts. Where the arrow is pointing is where...

A few inches before the exhaust goes into the turbo and after both sides exhaust flows have merged.

That sounds awesome especially with the 6 spd. I have the BMI turbo and a 700r4 and the kit had me turn it up 3/8 of a turn from stock. If in OD and bogging under a load it throws a little smoke but otherwise super clean running. Max egts so far were 900 at 12psi boost and it was ripping up a...
