Welding Tips and Tricks

After cutting down a 5.9 manifold to fit my 4bt going in my jeep I needed clearance between the turbo and oil cooler so this is what I came up with

Here is the manifold modification

Awesome again!!

Installed new oil drain This is what I had before I moved the turbo

great job. is there a write up on your manifold cut and weld?

Cool. Nothing quite compares to a proper turbo-diesel eh?

How much boost you figuring on running?

I am thinking somewhere around 45 maybe 50 psi

Wow! So according to my guesstimation, you'll be somewhere north of 800 hp from that four banger. Sweet!

Twenty years ago I had a readers rig of the month featured on "the diesel page". It was a 6.5 Chevy with most every mod that was doable with current technology. The latest generation of fuel systems and all blows that truck out of the water but I have diesel in my blood and love em all. Awesome project!

Thanks! More to come, I will be manufacturing my own long arm suspension parallel to the cummins transplant

That things gonna be a tank! Put it in 1st and just tap the throttle and up the hill she goes. Nice mod, just be careful not to do what I did in my Suzuki Samurai.

Rolling over backwards is rather unnerving even if you end up back on your wheels, especially when your "roll-bar" is stamped unibody and the scissor-lift frame for your rag top. We drove it home 30 miles with no windshield and having to crouch down to Hobbit size, LOL!!!

Very cool Dzljon, Are you gonna run it on factory comp Or use tuning options?... Software, standalone...etc

No comp, it a full mechanical motor, I will put the 4k governor spring in with some decent injectors and I am going to try to cram a hx30 over a he341 in there for air

That's what I like to hear, old school reliability meets new tech performance enhancements. You won't be able to kill it without a Barrett M99 .50 Cal, and then only if you hit the fuel rail or supply lines

Can't wait to see more pictures when you get a chance and want to share. Thanks again...Aloha, Chuck

I see
Ill be tuning in for your Project.
