@cruiserpilot manifold adapter? I believe someone posted one in the intercooler thread.

The only one I’ve seen commercially available is for the HD-T. There seems to be two variations. But if you see one please post it. I’ve spent the last two weeks reading what I hope are most or all relevant threads, but I probably did miss a couple.
 
If you search whistle n soot on facebook
No connection different country but they make adaptors for the 12ht as well as some other nice things

I did find them. But I don’t FB so can’t send a message. I didn’t see that short adapter before, that is definitely
new. Now I will call them. Thanks for the heads up!,
That one looks like it even has a port for boost!
 
Looks like there's a new GTurbo out for the 1HD-FT. At least I didn't see it a few months ago when I was shopping around. About $2100 USD.

HD-G400 Titanium

Anyone seen one of these or bought one yet? Too busy boosting around at 47 psi?

Would this even be usable without completely upgrading the pump, injectors, airbox, etc.?

Marketing gimmick or cool?

I'm sure you could run it on a stock engine, but probably nowhere enough fuel to make 40+ lbs of boost.

Stock airbox you'll run out of air at early 20s psi, ~20:1 AFR, you'll run out of fuel at 25ish psi and ~160 rwkw on an FT. +70 injectors, 14mm pump and send it...

Good to know. I'm almost done with the intake side of things - I just installed an intercooler and my PDI airbox just showed up. I'll install that in conjunction with a 4" stainless snorkel soon.

After that I would need to upgrade injectors and pump, which I'm trying to figure out since I'm in the US. Do you have a favorite shop for pump and injectors? I need to find someone who would be ok with shipping international.

We would go to Gturbo, UFI or Diesel Central typically for performance parts, any of these and Denco Diesel or MTQ for stock spec work.

Most of them will want your parts back for a core.

The only reason not to is $$.
 
I try to do things right the first time. Might save up for this one.

The turbochargers with aluminium wheels are already top of their game. It all depends how easily money comes to you I guess.

$150 extra to customise the colour of the compressor wheel! That's your marketing gimmick right there! :lol:

Yeah I’m getting mine in high vis orange so it’s easier to pick the chunks out of the intercooler if it explodes..

Haha jk
 
I just ordered à G300 "Grunter" for my 12H-T HJ61. Customer service so far has been great: I ordered on Tuesday, but I was warned on Wedneday morning that the G300 was being assembled in their build room, and would be available to ship in no more than a few days. It was shipped the day after.

I will post some update with installations and feedback on the performance. At the time I am keeping everything else stock, and I plan to do the initial pump adjustment myself by monitoring egt, performance and smoke color...
