It isn't quite finished. Notice a few missing hoses, wire loom, and paint. The big stuff is done.

Wooow.

Now that's some kinda thing.

Why not?

I called it a 6.2 duramax cuz it sounds exactly like a mildly built duramax taking off.

Very Cool. Nice wastegate plumbing.

Is that 2 CDRs as well?

Yes. 2 cdr.

Nice, some details please. Is that a 4" down pipe?

Full 4inch exhaust. No muffler. Much quieter in the cab than before.

Do you have pictures of how you brought the exhaust manifolds up? What diameter pipe did you use from manifolds to the turbo flange? Good to see, similar to the look from the original Pugg build. How well does the 2 cdr system work? We believe that a center or balanced exhaust should free up more power, nice to have pics of your set-up too.

1 3/4 up pipes. Think duramax. That's how it looks.

The cdr's aren't hooked up yet. Gotta get hose to hook the second one up.

turbonator, what turbos did you use on the center mounts you built?

The one i saw in a video has a 351 variable on it.

 

[Cumminsfever]

So far 400 miles and absolutely no leaks, and no problems. Need to tune the wastegate so I can stay on top of the turbo when it shifts. Otherwise a healthy running 6.2!

Puts a hurtin on them duramaxs for sure....:hihi:

Everyone thinks it is a duramax when they hear it go. If only they knew the truth!

 

[Landmine]

Any more details?
How much boost you running? Is it a db2831 pump?

The gate is blowing open fully around 30psi. At 4000rpm it holds 27psi.

I don't know what the pump number is. It's a .29 plunger pump.

There went the motor mounts...

And so starts my tale of destruction!

 

[BBB82]

Oh its justs the MM's, best for you would be polys with that setup. I have the el cheapos from autozone they worked but really havent gotton two drive it that much afterwords.

I bought the energy suspension ones and they came with zipties to put back into the stock clamshells. Kinda like a WTF is this crap deal. Couldn't send the whole piece... jeez

 

[buddy]

Once you get the old clamshells off its not bad drilling out the rivets and putting the ES mounts in. Then the zip ties just hold it together until the bolts on the frame really clamp it down. I would recommend not using stock rubber mounts. The ES are much better. There is an install thread around here or my list of recommendations cover it with the different part numbers and which one to use. Have to make sure to install them with the tabs in the correct orientation.
