Finally finished putting a new head and my super HX30W turbo, and upgrading it from aftercooled to intercooled . So far cruising egt 7-900 on highway @ 75MPH @ 2350 RPM
Looks like I need to order one up soon then ….
You should post up some pics ! I’d like to see what you’re install looks like !! I know I’d have to bash in my firewall a tad unfortunately.. we’re you able to use your same downpipe ?
I’m around the same , except cruising the flats I’m at 900-1000 still granted my cruisers weighs 7k lbs with a giant tent and bumpers … I’m considering going to 3:73s for better highway RPMs and lower EGTs
Just out of curiosity with those who are running 4BTs or 6BTs , with atleast the 4bt aim to be around 1800 RPM at highway speeds , what gears are you guys running or recommend ? I’m trying to bring my EGTs down about 2-300 degrees , I’m cruising at 1000-1100 on the highway at 65-70 at about...
Were those hood vents on the side already on there or did you do them at the same time ? I’m looking to put some to keep my engine bay a little cooler , hopefully keeping the engine cooler while I’m at it
looks like a lot of hood clearance is going to be needed ! lol!! But yes a/w Ic are the best for diesels . I shouldn’t need to worry with my small 4bt but hopefully proper tuning of the VE will bring the temps down low enough to not worry.
Alright guys , resurrecting old topics yet again, if anyone is willing I would love to see some pictures as to how y’all setup and routed intercoolers for their 4Bts or 6BTs… I’m currently trying to piece together a setup and am leaning towards the one from CX racing that mounts to the ARB bumper .
that is very smooth!! I’m curious on your serpentine belt setup, my belt tensioner pulley is mounted facing upwards , it almost looks like your belt is rubbing together or that might just be what it looks like from the video angle..
I actually just got back from an 800 mile trip in my 4BT 80...
Has anyone here with a 4BT/4BTA swap had issues fitting an intercooler? I’m currently running the 4BTA but am having an issue with some plumbing , one of the coolant lines for the aftercooler is plumbed next to the exhaust manifold and is melting . I would like to swap to an intercooler but not...
Does anyone have a part number for the lower radiator hose for a 4bt to a stock 80 series radiator , 2.25 to a 1.75 ID L shaped hose ? I can’t seem to find anything that fits like the old one I had , and the old ones part number is rubbed off

Anyone running one of these with their diesel swapped Cruiser ?
Seems like an easy and sleek way to monitor boost , EGT and trans temps
Looking for help on intercooler ideas
Currently want to switch from the aftercooler 4BT to an intercooler and would like to do it without messing with the locations if the trans cooler and the radiator. What are you 6BT/4BT guys running.?
