to you other question he said he bought the manual wastegate kit from BD Diesel.

Your numbers sound like what Logan Turner posted on the HMMWV owner’s Facebook group for a baseline run with a stock turbo truck. He then added a wicked wheel, turned the pump up 1/3 turn and added a manual waste gate and has a video on the freeway at 80 mph with 17lbs of boost!

EGT probe location. The probe length landed it dead center on the pipe. In the second picture of the elbow, the turbo is mounted on the flange you can see on the top. The passenger side exhaust ports are to the right maybe 4”. The drivers side ports come over via a crossover and dump into the...

Alright, as promised I finally got some videos of it running. They are a bit long, but I just left the gopro running and figured its more data. I'll post some pics of the EGT probe location as well. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-ongoing-restomod-m998ish-project.209121/post-2443649

OK a bunch of videos of the BMI turbo and 700r4 in action on the road. I was coming back from Lowes with 500lbs of stone in the back, otherwise just in their by myself. For all videos make sure to click on the little gear for settings and then select a higher video quality if you want to see...

I can share that I had mine leaking like you said after replacing the seals and when I went back I noticed the seals were slightly out of square when I placed them into the housing and the seal wore unbalanced and leaked. I replaced the seals again trying to seat them as perfect as possible.

Nice! I’ve not even had a chance to start mine in a week and now I’m shipping off to Boston for the week. Maybe later this week I’ll try to get some videos captured. We’re taking it and the M1102 trailer camping again once I return from the work trip.

That would be a great engine to have. I remember seeing those when they first came available through southern metals in Wilmington 2hr away from me. I should have jumped on one of those. They were selling them for relatively little on Facebook marketplace. when I get a chance sometime soon...

Any idea of the EGTs and boost? Any indications its over-fueled? I know my turbo is very different but I experienced the opposite so far. My operating temps have come down and the fan comes on much less frequently. Much of it is likely the overdrive transmission but even when I drive out of...

Look up Michael E Hoffman at American Humvee near Chicago. He’s on Facebook. I met him over email and in person and he is a stand up guy who helped me a lot with setup questions. He offers aftermarket springs, I haven’t used them myself but a number of people I’ve met have and like them a lot...

i neglected to take a picture when installing but here’s a picture from BMI. The drivers side exhaust comes via a crossover and mates up on the left. You can see the passenger side ports on this manifold. The upturn to the right is where the turbo mounts. Where the arrow is pointing is where...

Yes I wanted to check out your LMTV as well. There was so much to see there. Maybe I’ll run into you here in NC. I’m near Raleigh but take it out to Chatham and Alamance county a lot, and a few trips a year to the mountains and coast.

Thanks guys for the comments. The drawers I might change around if I was doing them again but I don’t have much time or money in them and they work. They connect to the tie down locations at the back of the bed and the front of the bed behind the seats using turnbuckles. You can remove it...

A few inches before the exhaust goes into the turbo and after both sides exhaust flows have merged.

That sounds awesome especially with the 6 spd. I have the BMI turbo and a 700r4 and the kit had me turn it up 3/8 of a turn from stock. If in OD and bogging under a load it throws a little smoke but otherwise super clean running. Max egts so far were 900 at 12psi boost and it was ripping up a...

If the TCC was locked and didn’t unlock with you hitting the brakes you’d fight the engine until you got below the speed where it unlocks or if it downshifts.

I thought I’d share my restomod project that’s ongoing and progress so far. I use the truck a lot from the beach, to the farm, camping, Home Depot runs, etc so I made the truck to do what I want it to do while hopefully honoring the 30 year old military vehicle it is. Base vehicles- 1993 M998...
