The three of you that T'd your twin oil return

[GO OVRIT]

Bill, I have thought about it. There's a lot of nice 1st gen guys out there, and all the good shows seem to be in Indiana. But you guys don't have any hills! The land is almost flat, and I'd have to import enough snow to ride my sled!

Why would you need hills.....ski rope and a truck

[KTA]

I used copper water pipe t-s and elbows and soldered mine together, then loctited it into the block.

So you can knock out or pull out the stock oil drain nipple in the block?

Yeah its just pressed in. I usually use a chisel and a hammer to drive it out, or some good vice grips and some twisting and heat on the block.

Snowmobile, dippy! The hills and sled were different topics, sorta.

Well I found out the hard way, the oil drain nipple is not simply 'wedged' in there. Note to self and others: don't try to use a cheater pipe to pry the nipple out of the block .. Broke the sucker right off at the raised 'stop' right at the block. Ended up getting the broken piece out, but now I need an oil drain nipple .

Go out back and burn some weeds. It'll make you feel better.

PS, with the torch, not the illegal weeds.

Bill,

So what size primary did you go with? s480?

What setup are you building?

by the way I didnt T mine I punched a hole in the oil pan and welded in a fitting.

No I didn't go that big. I'm using an off the shelf s400 part number 171702, 2.9 in 3.4 out, some say it's a 3 in 3.5 out. Using my 'Sledpuller 66' with 14cm housing as the secondary. If it's too slow to make low rpm power that a VE pump motor needs to make good power, I'll try one of a few things. A 12cm housing for the s300, a smaller s300 like a 62/71 12 or 14cm housing or get a s400sx turbine housing cut for the 3.4 s400 exhaust wheel . Then I'd have to choose between a .90, 1.0 or 1.10 AR . From what I understand with this s400 there's only one housing available, the 1.32 ar.

[Fnschlaud4620]

sounds great,

I am no expert, It seems that people are very happy with the 62/71/12 over s400 combo.

how soon before it is done? do you have any pics?

Hey Fnschlaud4620
did you ever get that varable turbo thing going, i know this guy that put a varable vain turbo from a detroit in his Ppumped truck and supostly its all contained so you gont need servos and stuff

[Fnschlaud4620]

I am in a delema with too many irons in the fire, and too many turbo options, as of right now I own a good H1e, hy55vgt, ht60, s300g, 62/68/14, and some others, I am not sure what I want to run.

I want to use the hy55vgt because it meets 2.8 class rules for pulling, but I really like twins too. I am still making progress on it but it is slow.

I best not talk about it too much because Bill will get mad if I off track his thread

[Begle1]

Send me a VGT and I'll try my best to get it working.

Publish my results and send it back afterwards, of course.

[bgilbert]

The oil drain nipple part number is 3903744 about $25 from Cummins. Luckily I have a good junkyard nearby and went and picked up two nipples no charge . Could've gotten at least 5 or 6 more from all the B and C series cores laying around .

[cummins king]

I like my hx40/ ht60 setup, at wop i wont even see 1250f
but im pushing max fuel yet

sorry bill
