The plate with the angle iron is a guide for the bit to cut at the correct angle into the block. The pictures don't show the camshaft, lifters, pushrods,etc. on the table next to it. Also the van exhaust and gm6
really chokes it compared to truck design.
Have you considered custom 4" Exhaust to a remote mount turbo? Look at thread from TurboVanman. I almost had a turbo mounted above my roof rack / rollbar. Kinda wishing I had done that instead. Couple of guys here have 6.2 &6.5 with hxII and they are way better.
See center turbo components that have to change if turbo height changes? Buddy of mine broke his housing after 15000 miles from spacing it up, oil on hot exhaust = fire. Full coverage insurance got him a nice down payment on a d-max.
Note the stock location and type of ops, later relocated to the extension hose coming up from the intake are. Wish I knew Leroy made one that carried the ground-ugg!
I hope this helps. Many other ?s
Thanks! I know it now.I cant tell you about the angle Will will have to tell you.
The gm6 and hxII are Turbo's
I understand you. What do you say about podium like this?No good. If you raise the height of the turbo, it will not fit into the center piece of the intake manifold. Also the up pipes will not fit. Also the mounts are easy to crack if it is not a true and secure base.
On the pics, I found a few shots on my iPhone, how do I post them from the phone?

Yes, Will and you are rite. If I'll raise the turbo it will not fit under the 3 piece intake manifold and will require alot of other modification.The drawing looks good.
Like Will said though, if you raise the turbo it will not fit under the 3 piece intake manifold and will require alot of other modification.
Your 3 piece intake manifold will not bolt up to the truck engine anyway (without machine work).
Depending on what you are using the truck for you might consider not using a turbo at all and naturally asperating the engine.
Otherwise I would make my own intake manifold using the parts you have and going with a turbo mounted wherever you want it.
Do you have someone you know that can weld cast aluminium?
Will, I trust you, truck with turbo much better. I don't considered diesel w/o turbo. I know little about propane for diesel. But the diesel bad breath w/o turbo. Propane w/o turbo is garbage, IMHO. Will the engine broke after propane?He has heads, turbo and manifolds (intake and exhaust i assume) from a van.
Have you considered non turbo? At least until you can find/afford the other parts from a truck? If you really need the power due to loads being towed etc., i would look at propane for the extra power for now, then you can just flip a switch when you need the power and not have to go through this work and $ right now.
Long term you will be much happier with truck turbo, trust me.
I think this is the better idea for me!Coming out of the turbo to inter cooler, back to intake. The truck intake definately flows better than van. Then with your pedestal mount no drilling the block. Hose connections to turbo means no intake problems and no need to swap heads. The only difficulty is rework intake tube to turbo and up pipes.
I would use a generic turbo, van up pipes and still do a centermount setup, then you avoid using the stock crappy turbo unless your looking for a bit more power and not going hog wild.
Unfortunately I did not found the info about generic turbo. And I understood bad what you wrote. My English is bad :rolleyes5:. I think that power of crappy stock turbo will be enough for me. I don't want to be hot wild.
I saw your project. You put the turbine under the body. Good job! May be I don't know much, but I think it's not a very good mount. There turbine will has bad circulation of oil. Or I'm wrong?
Thanks for the compliment! Can you tell me about recirculation pump pls?Your english is pretty good, :thumbsup:
Generic turbo, IE Holset HX35/40 or an HX40, ATT, something like that.
A stock setup will get you around 180 hp, maybe at the wheels turned up, someone else can chime in about that.
Thanks, and yes, I have a recirculation pump to route the oil back into the engine. This Feb will be its 1 year anniversary. ,
