Default Duramax's turbo info...

IHI Turbo - Spec VICU - S/N G6 0017381 - P/N 8971884545. The blowwer case is stamped: IHI Turbo 051T-061 H 2.

I have some pics of it also I can e-mail them if someone feels like posting them up here. I need to figure out how to do that at some point here...

Lemme know,
Eric

Eric - If you want to send them here I can post them also.

It'd be nice to find out what housings and wheels that turbo has, just to know. Evidently it must have a good size compressor on it judging by the power some of these D-maxs are putting out.

That Ebay ad says it is capable of 32 PSI on a 400 ci engine. Thats insane.

I have pics of the exhaust end and wastegate not just the compressor wheel. The exhaust end has dual inlets!

Man, I can't wait to get me a DMax and be out with this underpowered Z71.

Depending on how much money I feel like wasting on my DMax, I was thinking on porting the manifolds, turbo, and uppipes (all JetHot 2000'd of course) AND seeing how the motor would react to ported heads.

PS John, you got mail.

dont waste porting the heads (unless you really want too) they flow great stock, esp with the 32 valves. just put your money in a edge hot juicebox and enjoy they 730-740+ rwtq. i love the fact it took me all of 5 minutes (including reading the instructions, drinking a beer, and installing/mounting the unit!

Well I plan a lot more than just a programmer... even great heads make more power ported. Take the Z06 heads for instance.

BTW...don't Diesel's rely on lift as opposed to duration for power? I'd bet you could get a cam made too.
