I would love to pickup a deuce with the c turbo, but if I find a deuce that doesnt have one I should be able to fix that "problem" without too much trouble

92RT-TT, what is the part number for a rebuld kit for the 3LJ319? I have two and one needs rebuilt.
Also, I have swapped turbos back and forth on my deuce ( I have a "D" and a "C") and have noticed that they both produce 12 lbs of boost. The "C" turbo builds that boost much quicker I have noticed. This must be due to the design and size of the turbine housing.
Speaking of boost....how much is TOO much???

When engine components start melting...................
You need a pyro to check the temps.

67_ C-30, here is a new C tubo on ebay:

Warthog, I have a pyro....that has nothing to do with the amount of boost....you can have 3lbs of boost and 1400 degrees and melt the pistons. You can have 25 lbs of boost and 1000egt's like my cummins and not worry. I want to know how much boost a Deuce's head gaskets can take.

Read the Tm. There is a direct relationship between EGT, boost and fuel rate for a specific engine and turbo and IP.
As far as max boost before failure, well which head gaskets do you have?

No clue, Doghead. D motor new in 89 and I think it has had head work because the heads are painted black, while the rest of the engine are green.
If people are worried about the C motor, just put the C turbo on a D motor and you should have anything to worry about. If you aren't beating on the truck and you follow the operating procedures for startup and shutdown, you should be fine.

I recommend checking jatonka's web site and info on this. He has a good write-up in his TM section and others. I'm getting my setup in place and plan to use a data logger to record the sensors with no modifications and then make tweaks and see what happens. I will NOT test to failure if possible. More later.

Here's what a "C" muffled with the Donaldson muffler sounds like. I rev through a couple low gears at the end. My 93 year-old-grandmother was riding shotgun when this video was taken. Engine is a "D" rebuild.

I look at it this way. Usually guys who start new threads are told "use the search function, try searching the site, etc". This just shows that there are ppl out there who DO use the search function before starting a new thread.

Sir,
Thumbs up to you for bringing this back up to the top. Truck related as to which is better. I purchased a deuce that had a D turbo, did some horse trading and installed a C turbo. It ran just fine with both but I loved the sound of the "C". I installed a muffler when I first bought it and it made no difference at idle other than hearing the idle whistle of the C turbo. Under throttle or load, it was almost as quiet as idle but you could hear the "C" spooling. The "D", only a whisper. As for performance, I never towed a load when it had the "D" turbo but I did pull a 23,000 pound trailer with the "C" turbo with no issues. I did have the fuel turned up to the recommended safe level of a black puff that clears up rather quickly, I didn't have a pyro on the truck. I ran it hard for years until an M923 showed up and somebody had to go. I'm sure my old Deuce is still running strong for someone else.
