Thanks for your input, very helpful.

A switch is a pretty simple solution and let’s be honest, most won’t be using low range all that often so having a switch next to the t case lever doesn’t seem all that hokey to me.

I’ve read you can just put the 4low wiring to a switch as it just gets grounded in its original application.

It’s from quadstar tuning, they make one for the NA lower intake manifold also.

It wasn’t. I had a 6.5 turbo on for about 6 years and would advise against wasting the money on one and just go for an hx35w. I still need to fiddle with some stuff on my new setup but overall pulls much better than the gm4 turbo it replaced.

I think I’m going to turn the fuel up just a hair but overall this turbo spools so much faster than my old gm4. https://youtube.com/shorts/pw_3wy2PbYo?feature=share

I guess if it’s only seeing pavement or never flexing much than that big of a tire will fit without rubbing. My 35” tires rubbed the cab side when fully flexed with a 2” lift. I had to trim trim trim and even then it’ll still contact if I’m also full locked and stuffed.

I just started fitting a diamond eye downpipe inside the frame, started by cutting the rear flange area off about 4" from the end....then cutting where the bend that goes under the vehicle is....and it still wont fit in place so I'll be cutting a bit higher up probably above the frame area to...

The drive pressure is much lower with the hx35w than a stock 6.5 turbo which means more safe boost. I also ran 12 psi without any issues on my 6.2 with a gm-4 turbo. My EGT really never got much over 900* pre turbo.

Hx35w is a 12cm housing, most of the 6.5 guys actually recommend a 14cm exhaust housing for egt and drive pressure reduction.

just buy a knock off hx35 off of alibaba, equally as cheap.

Any specs on this turbo that you’ve installed? 500c* isn’t bad, 7psi is also not bad. I see about 900*F and 10-12psi on my stock head gasket 6.2 with a gm4 turbo. I’m right in the middle of installing an hx35w and the factory outlet on that turbo is only 2.5” (I’ve replaced it with an...

Finally found the correct fittings for my turbo oil feed. I stupidly ordered a conversion fitting that was for a stock 6.5 line but thought it was just a -6an fitting, NOPE. exhaust should be here tomorrow so I can finish this thing up.

I did the same thing but bolted the plate in. These are the only pics I have

Ls steam tubes are there to get any trapped air out of the top of the engine because the thermostat is in the water pump down low on the engine and coolant doesn’t flow thru the block with it closed to get rid of that trapped air. Also later gen IV Ls engines only have steam ports up front, not...

I read some people claim they hit, the one I saw looked like decent clearance. Seems worth potentially saving $500 on the AA one if possible.

I was going to attempt the nv bellhousing. The guy I bought my pedals from had one swapped in a square and it seemed to fit fine. Figured it was worth a shot first.

I was able to find a 4an braided line off ebay that fit perfectly on mine. I'll snap some pictures.

Wow good info as I'm getting ready to order stuff for my swap soon. Expected to get the 6.2 flywheel and clutch anyways though.
