Bump

I have decided it's time to sell the 450, it's been a great truck but with the amount of traveling I do for work i got a car and really need a regular truck for the farm more than I need the 450. 263k odo and triple locked I'm not quite sure what its worth but for numbers sake i'll put $7,500...

Thanks for the welcomes, doubt I'll make the meeting this saturday, gotta burn the farm. In the mean time I will try and get a couple pictures of the LX loaded onto the computer and post them.

Don't think I've ever introduced myself on here, I'm Brian, been a member for awhile, read a bit, made a few mods and got busy with life and am not to tech savy so the internet is really the last thing i do and MUD got lost for quite awhile. I moved from wichita to Yates Center area a couple...

I was aware what I bought was a variable vane and wasn't too concerned with it, was just seeing if anyone on here had experience with getting an electrical vane setup to work with their cruiser. Anywho, I will be using what I have until I find that it isn't efficient with the LX or it just plain...

I was just looking at them, I was looking at the turbine side for flow and not the compressor side which is why i asked. The GT3782 they have on their site is not the same as the GT3782v. The AR numbers are different as are the compressor and turbine sizes. Though not by much they still are...

those AR numbers are right off the housing and I measured the openings and width of the housing. The turbine and compressor numbers are the right numbers also. Where did you come up with it was only moving 55lbs of air?

I am not quite to sure what you mean by very small exhaust housing, the housing itself is roughly 8" across and the exhaust entry is 2.5" and the exhaust exit is about 2 7/8", actual inside dia. The turbine wheel itself for the inducer is 72.25mm and the exducer is 66.45mm with a AR of .9 and...

I am wondering if I can't perhaps just bypass the vanes all together and just have them in the open position and use a external wastegate like a conventional turbo would use and not have to worry about the vanes or any of that, what do you think? I got the turbo from a friend of mine for 130 so...

I picked up a remanufactured garrett GT3782v turbo last night and am curious if any of you guys have used a variable vane in any of your builds and what you used to control the vanes during boost. I remember reading through some posts awhile back about using diesel turbos on a couple builds but...

I pulled the motor and tore it down to the rotating assembly. I separated the head from the block as well as all other sensors, accessories. The machinist took the rotating assembly apart, decked the block, re surfaced the head, bored the cylinders, re surfaced and polished the crank tore the...

I had my motor rebuilt a few thousand miles ago. I picked up all oem parts for the rebuild. I received a large discount from a dealer when I ordered all the parts and paid cash. The parts guy was pretty cool about the discount for me, total cost was 1800 with all new rods, bearings, .20 over...
