That was pretty low.


For those that don't know yesterday I drove this to work and the engine oil pan drain plug fell out. I stopped it before it was totally out of oil. My brother brought a different drain plug and my dad brought some oil. We put the drain plug in and oil in, fired it up and it was fine. Drove it with no issues. Later I started it up and it had a slight knock. Now it will be getting a rebuilt engine. It really stinks because I checked everything but the oil pan drain plug. I was just under it yesterday morning checking stuff and the drain plug was dry and had no signs of being loose. So yes, check them all before driving a big project........

Good catch there 56 6BT. I missed that until you mentioned it. So Ryan is it a IC or NIC VE pump? I have a spare NIC pump that I was going to try and get rid of it but I might hang on to it if you tell me it's worth hanging on to in case my VP takes a dump. Oh yeah, Nice Build.:metal:

Ok i will bite and be the one who is going to look stupid. What is a 62/71?

Today the rear end started making a thumping noise, so it is time to replace my apparently not so great ring and pinion for a new one. Hopefully the parts should be here Friday. Last night I put mud flaps on it and a steering stabilizer. While we're doing the rear end, I'm going to go ahead and put on a rear sway bar to help with body roll. She definitely sways a bit during fast lane changes at 70mph or so. :lol:

No need to look or feel stupid. :lol: That is just the size of the compressor wheel and turbine wheel in the turbo. The compressor is 62mm at biggest point, the turbine wheel is 71mm at the largest point, and the turbine or exhaust housing is a 14. Which means it will flow 14cm2 through it. Typically you will see after market chargers listed in 3 number groupings typically. The turbo on this thing is 62/71/14.

It moves out pretty well considering this tank weighs 8690 with a full tank of fuel. :mm:

Holy kick in the stones, Batman!! Man, that sucks. Glad you got it fixed up quick. I've been absent from this thread for a bit, but for some reason I thought you had this running a while back or at least were a whole lot closer than you actually were. I don't miss gelled diesel......ugh.

That is more than mine weighs with a full load of travel goods. Wow!!

ill go ahead and break it down since Ryan said it all wrong and you are speaking in turbo code. :lol:

the inducer is the inlet side of of the wheel, regardless of its orientation. the exducer is the outlet side of the wheel. so, in a turbocharger, the inducer side of the compressor is the side that you see when you look down its throat. the exducer side of the compressor is the big side that is at the back of the compressor housing.

the exducer of the turbine wheel is the small side, or the one you see when you look up the turbos butt. the inducer is the big side of that wheel in the front of the exhaust housing.

since the space available for the compressor to draw in air is the inducer and the space available for exhaust to exit the turbine is the exducer, you can get an idea for the air flow ability and depending on all kinds of other factors the power it will be able to make from knowing the size of the inducer on the compressor and the exducer on the turbine. the area of the exhaust housing, or the third number given in the size helps you determine how much fliud can pass through the housing at a given pressure. that will help determine the lag or how fast the turbo spools and has an effect on EGTs and drive pressure.



this thing seems to have a target on the gonad area, or maybe the wallet. but at least it should be a nice well done rig when finished! Ryan had it running/driving briefly, but it took a digger when the engine decided to knock.
