You're gunna blow the welds on your intake, kid.

Or maybe that was for nitrous.

will the front suspension be hard enough to support that heavy of an engine? and what PSI are you going to run it @?

Good question. All I can do is set it up, and see what happens. If it's not stiff enough, I can alter the angle of the coilovers, play with the preload, or even change them out for something stiffer.

PSI? As in boost? Dunno yet. It remains to be seen how much the T3 can develop with the Kubota's exhaust stream. I WILL be connecting a vac/boost gauge to monitor it, and see where it goes form there.

The engine that the turbo came off, had approximately 4x the displacement. I don't expect a lot, but any improvement is improvement. I doubt it will ever spool hard enough to trigger the waste gate.

The waste gate is actuated by a diaphragm, which basically measures the difference between boost and atmospheric pressure. I don't know what it's calibrated for, but is non-adjustable. If on the off-chance I think it's developing too much, I'll find a way to bleed off more pressure. Could be as simple as a port on the intake pipe. We'll see. This turbo stuff is new territory for me.

Hey Doc, now that you've kind of restarted the Bannerman project, are you going to start a new thread on it or use this one? Or just not post about it?

We lost M1 during surgery. Doc tried his best but the project just died. M2 became an organ donor. The vanguard from M2 is in his sears, "suburban commando"

Doc,

Did you ever do anything with the bannerman frame? I would love to hear a update on this project!
