Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So here it is... long time buddy had this guy for a while and wasn’t doing anything with it... It belonged to a few friends, I kinda always wanted it... one day it fell into my lap for next to nothing so I decided to do something w/ it.. got it some un broke axles and got rid of the bull$#!& cobbled lift that was put in owners ago... then got it running...

Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Then I got a really good deal.. one I couldn’t pass up.. and that’s when I committed and researched my face off and found out it could be done and it was on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Phase one was just for proof of concept used a swap meet $12 Buick turbo and some summit u bends and connector pieces...very little money was invested initially I ended up doing some measuring and the trailer bed idea was born... Sears Roebuck utility trailer sacrificed its last as a trailer and got welded on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 It kinda worked... I found that the fuel pump was junk right away got another in it for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 This system taught me never use junkyard turbos... it lasted maybe 2 hrs before it started billowing smoke and dumping oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihellagooddriver Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Then this happened! Ebay $96!! The black marker is the a/r specs on the first turbo.. the blue pen is the t04b that’s my current setup...it’s size is near perfect for the 4.0 imo and I'm 99% positive that with my planned mod it will be perfect... I think I can improve flow to and from the turbo and clean up the charge pipe flow a bit.. as well as the internal mods that will be disclosed as they get installed ... stay tuned for that... in the mean time enjoy these photos till I get time to upload moreb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihellagooddriver Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Trial and error netted a burned up turbo in 200 miles... due to oil starvation... oh well $96 lesson.. oil resrictors are for ball bearing turbos only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
