I second what @LameMule said! I would have been lost without your knowledge @wore out. I have ran it like I stole it since I got it back together....
She purrs like a cat! All is great except I need to turn a little more fuel to it and adjust the wastegate for a little more manifold pressure,...
10-4 on the ring compressor. I have a couple of the old spring steel wrap around style and was going to buy a 2 piece for this build because I...
I don't have to read very many of your replies on varying topics to be comfortable in the fact that you know your stuff and have the t shirt!...
@wore out finally got the parts in to get this dinosaur purring again. Went with the 160-1131 pistons and the 3590 nozzles like you recommended. I...
I appreciate it @Oxbow. The 9449 should be here tomorrow. I pulled the original one apart and there was more wear than I wanted to go back with...
Sounds good but just to make sure you know the details, it is a 7fb block and rotating assembly but has a round port head and a 7e5888 pump. This...
@wore out looking at some other threads you have commented on last night. I am assuming I will need to swap to dual cooling nozzles when running...
When I say I work local, I usually stay in a 50-60 mile radius of the shop but it’s in a country area where most of the driving isn’t in heavy...
I do run local and am currently running an s410g according to the spec under the part number of the turbo. It’s just an oe brand that was on the...
Another quick question, is there anyway to tell what close to stock is on the fuel screws by measuring how far they stick out or would it need to...

That all makes perfect sense. I am definitely going with the 4ck peec nozzles and pistons. as far as the truck running, it ran good, pulled...
@Oxbow the plan is to go back with the pistons and nozzles for the 4ck 460 peec like @wore out recommended. Called cat today to get an eta on the...
I’m am no photographer but here’s a few pics of the pistons. I know pictures don’t really show it good but 2 of the pistons had holes almost all...

To answer your question @wore out, there was no pre ignition ping sound. It ran pretty good after it was warmed up. When it was cold, it would...
@Oxbow thats probably the smart thing to do. It will push 30-32 ish psi but never seen it get over 800-850 pyro as long as I kept the rpm’s up...
Just re read your reply @wore out and realized you put the correct nozzle number at the bottom. Thanks
That sounds about like the broke little town I live in. 3 churches, a small gas station and a post office. No place like home though. I will...
