AZ, I was looking at the LTL in your album..did you buy Itchy's LTL from California?
-
Hi,
I was in Sturgis for the Bike Rally the last two weeks. Yes, I bought Itchy's LTL several years ago. It is a great truck but needed some TLC as it sat out the last few years he had it. I took the cab off and striped it it down to bare metal to repair some issues for new paint. Had some stuff chromed and ceramic coated this time around.

get a hold of Brad Pederson in Calif. he had some cast a year or so ago.I think you know him.

Hi Bob,
I do not recall Brad but I may have talked to him, memory is not what it used to be. I did hear of someone casting the rear cab mount, was that Brad? It was pricy and not machined, just raw casting.
Really could use a front engine mount. I made a steel strap that wraps under the aluminum mount to stop the engine decent if it cracks though again.

HI,
This is the link for the turbos I use and recommend.
http://www.turbos.bwauto.com/aftermarket/airwerks.aspx
I have the S500 92mm turbo on my E9 and it pegs the 60psi boost gauge with no effort and Dyno'ed over 1100HP at the wheels for short times. You can look though my post and see the Superliner it is in. These AirWerks turbos are marketed good to 70 psi boost and they WILL DO IT. I am no expert but know how engines work and make power. I have had successes and a few catastrophic failures. In a working truck I would not go over these size turbos and they will do EVERYTHING you want.
Borg Warner S400 series, great part way under $1000USD.
For E9 S400 #179180 try stock Exhaust housing but boost will come in at higher RPM's. Think it will work great with 178788 exhaust housing 1.0 A/R It is a 80mm inlet turbo. Set governor no higher than 2800-3000 RPM's. Do not expect to shift gears at those RPM's, Trans will fail from shock load or twist drive shafts in to pretzels. Rockwell locking rears a real good idea!
For E7 S400 #178850 this is a 68mm turbo exhaust housing should be OK but maybe downsize one after trying it. Smaller housing A/R builds boost sooner about 200 RPM steps per size. Up RPM's a few hundred.
These turbo units have been around for some time and easy to replace. Good for 60 psi plus and at a great price. Should be direct bolt on. Double clamp all turbo hoses, Have fun!
By the way this is more info than anyone else will volunteer without great expense. I paid for it....
