Hey guys. I am not sure where I should install this pre-turbo. I understand the best way is pre-turbo which would be drivers side correct? I took a few pictures underneath of where I think it is supposed to be?? I read that on the manifold..or on the up pipe...
The up pipe pic is where it goes up to the turbo I believe.. It is closed to the interior of the cab??? If I would be standing up on the drivers side facing the engine by the fender and looking in.... the left side is where the intake is...and the right side or closest to cab would be where the up pipe to turbo is... correct?? In other words, the closest part of the exhaust manifold to the cab on the drivers side is where I should install.. and is where the up pipe is..??
Very new to this, could use all the advice possible. Thanks
P.s. Clicking on the pic makes them a little bigger..
i may have to agree on this. i was always under the directive of behind all the cylinders b4 the up-pipe.... BUT
i was removing manfolds off my parts motor and the same bolt on both sides was the only one i had to drill out which was the bolt to the cab side of #5 and # 6 cylinders. which is right inbetween the last 2 cylinders. this tells me that that is the hottest sopt since all the others came out just fine. i hope someone else chimes in on this
I used to have to do that back when I ran engines on the dyno in the Navy. All the big diesels also had probes at every exhaust port. You would know exactly what a engine was doing in a heartbeat.
i remember you saying that b4....... im just wana know if the area between the 2 cylinders is the hottest spot and an answer to why they same bolts didnt come out? makes sence in my mind, but prolly only a few degrees differnt if it is hotter. not 100s
i mean people have been running pyros in the same spots for years with no problems, so there isnta problem as to the norm spot to mount it, i just wana know!!!!
Well the hottest spot will be directly in front of a exhaust port but like you say there will be such little difference anywhere in such a small manifold that you would have to have a highly accurate digital pyrometer to see any difference. All we are trying to do on these engines is see a average temperature not trouble shoot which cylinder is running to hot or to cold.
