Little writeup - HE351VE on a VP44 truck
I think im the first one to put on a HE351VE (VGT turbo of a 6.7 Cummins) on a VP44 truck at least from what i've known of, reading on the forums... not that its any different than a 12 valve but i guess everyone is trying to be first at something or to break a record... lol
Well i mounted the turbo directly to the manifold, with two nuts and two bolts.
i had the original holes drilled and tapped for a 1/4" tubing plug, and screwed a plug into each hole, and machined the flange flat, and then drilled new holes to fit onto a T3 style manifold, and put studs into the two bottom holes (closest to the engine)
I also had to remove some material on the back side of the manifold so i could put a nut between there, to tighten everything up, pics are rather self explaining.
I cut off the flange of the cast exhaust elbow and welded it to the stock hx35 cast elbow... i wanted to make this a more universal fit, in case i sell it, or install it on another truck. I used a stainless steel 90 degree elbow to go down and forward to the intercooler.
I also used the stock turbo drain.
For vane collar control, a wastegate actuator was used that i bought used of ebay for like 9 bucks, and modified it with a spring so i could override optimum position for fast spool up, with a little electric motor for the exhaust brake. Im not using a stop screw to hold the vanes from fully closed, its adjustable with a nut and locknut on the w/g rod...
Hope this makes sense, i love how the turbo works, it fits the stock airbox, and it shouldnt be hard to swap to another truck, as i made it now pretty universal, it wont hit the shock tower on a 4x4.
My truck has Adrenaline w/ pulse and RV 275 injectors. and a BD transmission. Well EGTs used to be very hot, they where at 1600 by 60 mph on lvl 6 from 10,
now they reach 1600 by 80 or more mph.
Truck always smoked on lvl 10 at full boost, now you cant see it smoke at all
and adr shows its making 40 psi boost, on lvl 10
truck is faster now too.
AND i have exhaust brake that i control from in the cab with a ford window switch.
I hope to have a video up soon
