@27pocket its a 6.5, what do you expect? a 1500hp toyota supra?

@DLoc137 I have had a 12v. They are a nice engine. The trucks don't hold up to them though. You will need a lot of upgrades to keep it running real smooth and reliable. I have seen Cummins conversions in Fords and Chevy and they seem to run more true. Chevy may be the least finicky of the three; upgrades work out well on them.

wow over 3k did she blow up yet?

@DLoc137 You got very lucky. Limit boost to 15psi or you'll bust the crank or block next time.

@DLoc137 Depends on the year. I've got a 1993 6.5, pre PMD, so you can't chip it. However, you can manuelly turn the injection pump up, think I heard somewhere to not go over a quarter turn or it'll run away.

So is that a stock turbo?

[Codeman1921]

I have a 1993 chevy 6.5 with 235k miles and everything is stock but the mechanical pump with alot of fuel and timeing it makes 20psi of boost and my bottom end is still holding together after 6 sled pulls and everyday hauling

[garretth4au]
