    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    Got 224 HP/571 TQ. I need a better lift pump. Power drops off like a lead balloon at 2500 RPM.

    Funny that you mention the coffee can....yes I do carry a 3 lb coffee can in my truck now ROFL! I'll carry it until I get the flapper made for it :)

    I appreciate the kudos Mike :). I saw ya coming from the other direction, and figured why not drop the hammer a bit. Was in 5th gear, just goosed it a couple times. A buddy of mine that lives in New Meadows got the same show lmao. Went to his house today, and he was truly impressed. I had to...

    Well, here it is installed. I'll need to make a flapper for it to keep out the rain and snow :).

    The elbow and pipe have been welded together, welds cleaned up, and painted in this pic.

    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    I just finished welding up the flange to the elbow, and I had to add a piece of pipe to the leftover pipe I purchased from NAPA. If it weren't for the rust on the additional pipe, you would not be able to tell I welded another piece to the leftover pipe.

    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    Flange is tacked to the elbow in this pic. I ran out of carbon dioxide for my MIG welder....otherwise I would have welded the flange all the way around. BTW, I'm at a perfect 90 degrees now. Tomorrow I'll run to McCall and pick up another 5 lbs of dry ice so I can finish all my welding on the...

    K's in Miles

    639,420 on the clock, But I can't take the credit for all those miles. I think I'm the 3rd or 4th owner of the truck :).

    A bit more machining done here...should have the flange finished and welded to the elbow by tomorrow night :)

    Roger that Stang! I'm thinking about making my own also, hope to be able to start that project before the end of March. I would start it sooner, but IdahoTurboDiesels.com is sponsoring a dyno event on March 17th, and I've got to finish this stack, cut a more aggressive fuel pin, and a few other...

    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    I'm not sure of the cost factor.....I don't worry about that too much, because I really enjoy making my own things(like my homemade fuel pin and existing exhaust system:)). Current thickness of the elbow tubing is now .082.

    Learning how to weld is a big part of being self-sufficient. In other words, why pay someone to do something that you can do yourself? :)

    Don't sell yourself short Texas.....if I can do it, anybody can :). The only stumbling blocks you might run into is the equipment, like a welder, grinder, etc.

    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    Started machining the flange for the elbow. I use an old 1936 Reed-Prentiss lathe for this machining. If you have the patience, she still works just fine, just ask Mopar1973man. The mounting flange needs to be 4.4-4.75" OD, 4" ID, .290" thick, and tapered to .150". Taper can be no longer than...

    Don't laugh, but I've had 3 instances of deer and dogs that were almost halfway across the road when they saw me coming. They went back the way they came. I figure they were afraid of the bumper or the exhaust note ROFL!

    I appreciate the kind words guys. I'll post more pics as soon as they are available. This evening I need to start machining a flange for one end of the elbow to mount to the turbo.

    I still need to add 2-2 1/2 ft of pipe to the elbow so it will stick out of the hood :). I need to machine up a flange for one end of the elbow to attach to the turbo.

    BTW, I want to give a shout out to ramhunter9, the owner of this forum. He is a really good guy to deal with, and very knowledgeable. His truck would simply blow the doors off mine easily XD.

    This is what the elbow looks like after smoothing out the welds.

    1st Gen Hood Stack Build

    I had to add a thinner segment to the elbow to get it close to 90 degrees. I'm about 1-1.5 degrees off from 90. My 9" side grinder will take care of this issue XD
