I've been doing some research for that. Something that will gradually lower the pressure instead of dumping it. I was almost thinking of a miniature shock absorber of some kind, though a pressure delay valve sounds like a good idea. I'm not heavily rushed with it right now so I have time.

Well its not like these motors turn high RPM's so I guess from the factory its similar to the stock 6.5L turbo's. It seems to do its job in the peak torque range but higher up and it begins to choke the engine. I've been designing a mechanical vane controller for the turbo that works off...
Thats a great looking 6.6! Any idea behind when you are planning to drop the motor in? I can't wait to get mine all prettied up and start to do some tuning. Thats still the stock garret turbo isn't it? I'm thinking of running the HE351VGT I have in the shop to give it maximum air through the...
I've actually really started pondering the thought of pulling out the 350sbc in my C-60 and dropping the 6.6 into that. That truck would take the roughly 1500 lbs of weight a bit better than Big Blue. That and no more 6mpg and worse for plowing... Thats just depressing right there.
I've been...
Is there a chance anybody has, or knows of somewhere that, can get me some technical information on the GM-8 turbo? Such as compressor maps, flow charts and or the major and minor dimensions of the intake and exhaust compressor wheels?
Friend of mine is using my old one to stick on his Mustang...
Why thank you gentlemen :tiphat
You know I was worried about damaging the bearing caps too with torquing them down to much, but you will know when there are tight. I just don't recommend using anything other than a wrench to tighten them(no air ratchets or impact guns). I think that would...
Nothing beats some great progress on a day of overcast. Though it was warm enough to not warrant needing a jacket so no complaints. I can finally feel this thing really coming together now :) The new input yoke is in on the T-case, and the intermediate shaft is in. Not to mention I got...
