00' 3/4 ton 4x4 CrewCab Twin Turbo Dakota

All of the exhaust is finished. Just need to make oil lines and paint the tubing. And waiting on some new boots and clamps to come in.
My fancy Hot pipe.

looking good, need some insulation near hot pipes and wire looms, hate to see you post a picture of a burnt ride.
 
Got it all back together. When it warms up I paln on taking it for a spin to check it out.

The paint is temporary- most likely is going to have a different look when all said and done.

That is a lot of turbo in not much engine bay. Should be a blast to drive.
 
Only thing I would do differently would be to lower it, take the lights off, and 4 wheel slicks...:evil
 
I don't think you'll be running into another truck like that every time you stop to fill up:clap:
 
Thanks guys!!

Oldblue- it can't be lowered anymore with out more oil pan mods and/or raising the motor, which would mean firewall mods also. As for the lights. I like em for now.

Newsmoke- you're exactly right. Its kinda funny also. I've had 2 ppl tell me I'm putting the wrong fuel it.
Headcase- post 75 shows part of the bracing. Its a pyramid/ 3bar setup. 2 top bars to manifold(side to side) movement 3rd bar hooks to a piece of flat stock going from a motor mount to bottom manifold bolt( weight support).
 
Tell them your Dakota runs better on diesel and they should try running diesel through their vehicle at least once to see if they also have good results
 
Any progress? How's it spool with the tripples. Really considering a set of tripples. I got the tools to build it 2 hx35s and a s364. Nst waiting on some more positive feed back from guys running them.
 
And here I thought stuffing three turbos into a third gen was bad. Impressive work, the oil drain for the secondary must be a pita
 
Truck is going back to the paint shop to get a few paint issues fixed (didnt see them till I got it home and unloaded.) Pics when I get it back together- headlights, light bars, tires.

I've not drove it but many 1 mile. Has a couple exhaust leaks and secondary drain has a little leak. Standing on the brake from a stop. Overall boost was 20 psi @ 1700rpms fairly quick. Didnt get a primary reading I forgot to hook up the primary gauge.

No whistle that I could hear.

Did get this done this weekend along with fixing my fuel pumps.

22 gauge sheetmetal and vinyl wrapped.

Still have the sides to do.
 
Pretty cool. Interested on how the interstage cooling works. Similar idea for a twin project inside my head.
