want to do studs to ensure reliability. so gonna spend an extra few bucks to open up the flow. bought a set of 6.0 exhaust manifolds since they flow better than the stock 6.4.

then found a set of coated for a little more so ill probably go with these.

got lucky and found matching elite up pipes.

undecided or if i can afford to do turbos and wastegate. need to order some studs, gaskets/hardware etc. intake mani on the way.

Looks like it will be another good build thread. Good luck. You doing the work on your own?

 

[Capt dong]

thanks superduty. have a friend with a garage and lift. i might be able to do it if he'll alot me a chunk of time. im sure itll take me a few days at least.

Cool! It will be a real good way to get to know some of the parts that are hard to see and get to.

Looks Like youll have your hands full !! I will be starting mine any day as headgaskets arnt holding up , going to do something similar to you !! Good Luck

I was looking into the RCD mani's and elite up pipes. Or the steed speed ones.
Im sure they are a fair bit more $ than the 6.0 though.

Having a lift or access to one would be nice!!

If I had access to a lift I would be more broke than I already am... But my truck would be awesome! Good luck with all the changes. Let us know how much the manifolds and up pipes change things.

Looks like a nice build. It is similar to the build i will be doing. I will probably go with the same intake manifold you went with. I am excited to see the difference the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and up pipes make on your truck.

Shoot me a pm if u plan on getting rid of one of the sets of manifolds!

stock turbos delivered. aint no lie these fukkers are HEAVY 75+ lbs.

core exchange for tow power compounds?
dual batmos?
spare backups?

 

[04hdfatboy]

Are those the turbos off your truck? im confused lol

 

[Capt dong]

bought em off an old friend outta state.

 

[04hdfatboy]

cool. I guess you could put both batmowheels and have someone clean them and put new seals?

 

[Capt dong]

yup. there are some turbo shops in houston. i could install the wheels and then have the turbos checked and balanced.

:liar:
Or some set anyways!

 

[Capt dong]

man i wish i had money to build a reg cab 6.4 street truck. id get turbos so big it would have to be mounted in the bed and 500 shot of nitrous to spool it up lmao!!!!!

 

[Capt dong]

but really though i just want to improve flow and make it extremely reliable and go for 300k miles without any major repairs on my truck. :ford:

 

[Clayton1985]

Im with ya on that one! The extra powerrrrrrr isnt a bad thing either!!

I'm with you but I always try to figure out where to draw the line. Do I stick close to 600? OR try to play with the mid 700 mark?? I go back and forth every day.

If you want to stay in the reliability area stay close to 600HP. Mid 700 mark is going to cause more issues. Dont get me wrong there are some strong reliable trucks, but they wont be reliable for 300k miles.
