Just saw all of this thread, nice find, great color, nice timely work. Thanks for sharing.
Before the motor gets dropped back in, have you considered the bolt on turbo kit that’s being developed by Wits’end? You’ve come this far....
Any of the guys from sky high?

wits ends turbo is on the list! As soon as it becomes available I'm hoping to get my hands on one, but I am not sure how many people are on his list and were I stand..... Also don't know his timeframe so waiting to instal the motor could have been a long wait..... I did have the manifolds and heat shields ceramic coated to prep for a wits end turbo!

I don't think so but I could be wrong, haven't talked to earl in awhile

Wits' End
No timeframe but the development hasn’t stopped. Some components may have stalled while I find suitable fabricators, but other components are moving right along.

I need a little input if anyone has any to give..... Just ordered everything for my dual battery setup, decided to go with northstar agm27f batteries with a REDARC battery isolator, and slee washer reservoir relocation kit/ slee 2nd battery tray, from all of my research this is what I figured to be the best setup for my use! My dilemma is on a fridge, I have never ran a fridge before and need some input on brands/ benefit from one to another..... Price wise the Dometic CFX-50 looks great, anyone have any experience, how does it compare to ARB or Engel???

ARB Element over here.
Had the previous model of ARB, it was awesome never gived me problems. Had dometic before, no complains. Edgestar also, great for the price.
Now, the ARB Element is a monster. Best of all, of course, probably the most expensive but it's hard to compare with the rest.
I do not run a double battery, Only one blue top Optima, and i run it during 3-4 days straight when camping and it barely sucks power out of the battery.

I was actually looking at the element, my only worry is there won't be enough room to open it because it opens the long way, and mine would be sitting on top of arb drawer..... how is yours mounted

Could you possibly get me a measurement from the bottom or your arb element to the top of the door when open?
