More specs on the truck: the engine is 1994 school bus engine. It was rebuilt with new rings bearings and o-ringed cyl head. I was told the inj pump has 11mm plungers and was rated at 160hp stock. The pump had no fuel plate installed. It has lazer cut Delivery valves and 4000 gov springs. The injectors are 370's. Shaun did not know many of the engine particulars, such as timing and what not. He had removed the Engine Data Tag also...ARGH #@$%! ha. The engine had no grid heater. He installed a ats manifold and had J. Mez turbos build a HX50 with a machined 6cm wastegated exhaust housing. the 6cm housing was bored out to fit the HX50 turbine wheel. then 4 studs were welded to the turbine housing and tabs and nuts are used to hold the center section and turbine together.


Incase your wondering ..about the extra small turbine housing..ha yes I am concerned too ha..it does sound awesome though ..its like a jet engine spooling up ha..it has instant boost..you can rev it up in nuetral and see 5-10lbs boost just reaving the engine I plan on changing it up some and will post more here. also in the second picture you can see a bit of carbon between near the center section. Well on the drive back from Ohio to VA ( my wife's family is in VA) the tubine and center section must have vibrated slightly loose. I noticed it the next day in VA, I was looking fro the source of the carbon coating the engine compartment. I leaned on the compressor, and felt it move . I noticed the little nuts on the studs had loosed up. I tightened them up and no more leak argh. It was winter time (thanksgiving) so I could not de carbon or wash the engine bay etc. I realized Electrical work was not a specialty of the prevoius owner. Driving back without a working speedo & only the rear interior blower motor wbuilds character.
