Bitten by diesel bug

[Levron]

Rushing never helps I guess. I've painted the sliders last year when it was closer to zero degrees so paint didn't stick

I little face lift is in order. I really like the black out grill and color schema but I do realize it is not for everyone

Let me know what you think

I dig it. If the stock chrome is failing, I feel this a good solution. I like the body paint as well.

 

[Jlosquared]

Looks good; I no longer have to wonder how that would look.

 

[Levron]

physic test, why the difference from previous picture

 

[gregnash]

Looks like you installed a lift of some add-a-leafs?

 

[Levron]

OME lift all round, new tires and turn signals in the fenders

 

[TallCanDan]

Is that a shackle reversal? What size tires?

 

[Levron]

Tires are 31 inch used so probably a bit less then that. As for shackles I am not sure if it is a reversal ones it is whatever came in a package

 

[Levron]

actually shackles looks the same as seen in this picture: https://forum.ih8mud.com/diesel-tech-24-volts-systems/758433-mods-so-far.html

 

[TallCanDan]

OK, no shackle reversal then.

What turbo is that?

I don't remember the exact details but it is the same one as in Chrysler LeBaron I believe based on MUDs recommendations

Some more views of test fittings:

 

[Levron]

On a side note probably will concentrate on electrical while sourcing oil lines and elbow fittings for air.

Wow that engine just spun me right out. No wonder you want to go turbo it's a bloody 3B!

Can't say I've ever seen a 60 with a 3B in it before. Then again I'm not in the states

I do not know what those are, Turbo timer?

Those are just auberin's multi-purpose gauges:

Will hook them up to coolant temp, pyrometer, oil pressure and boost.

Sweet! Cant say that exhaust flange looks like a turbo lebaron setup. Dodge did a bigger garret unit pre 89 then in 89 and up they had a smaller quicker spooling mitsubishi unit. Regardless turbo will be alot nicer to drive.

 

[Levron]

Got a chance to set up the gauges in this crappy cold weather. The fit nicely under the ashtray:



Got EGR, Boost, Oil pressure and coolant temperature going. Gauges still need to be set up (MIN/MAX) but otherwise good to go.

Also the alarm in the middle is definitely on the loud side, not sure if boss will approve it screaming when the engine is starting (oil pressure low alarm when ignition is on). Is it possible to set up a delay on this?
