hey I changed my 4" to 5" pipe from the turbo back on my RB. A bit of trial and error but it worked! I used a piece of 4" cut in half, then added 2" strips to the center making it 6" oval where it squeeses between the block and frame rail. Im now ready to install duel exhaust, I have to work around the roll-off rails. It will be 5" from turbo to top of the stack. Im trying to decide if its worth the effort to center the "Y" pipe? if any one wants pictures in progress let me know! james

hello! thanks for the reminder I probibly would have only put body washers on the inside, not a plate. Did the "valueliner" come with duel breathers? is it the same cab as our "RB"?

If you're lucky and the dealer likes you can get the cam changed under policy, they replaced mine last summer with 650k on it, i had to pay labour and gaskets! but with the heads gone, Im guessing you're beat! and remember when you hear the pop'n under the hood shut it down and save some cash!

hey a RB688s, set back front axle, quarter fenders are mounted on cab, not full fenders on hood, if you go to my garage I have pics(cant fig. how to attach pics here)

just wondering and looking for some advice....Anyone ever put an air cleaner on driver(L)side on a RB? I know they did in Au and I think R700 was duel breather too, but that differnt hood and cab firewall. just thinking out loud!!

rochester charged me 86$ apiece for the stage two, I pull heavy (140 000) pyro temps get up to 1100 but drops just as quickly

if you look on the intake manifold you will see two plugs on the top, thats where you will get your boost reading from. I would check out summit performance for the gauge, thats where I bought mine(check out my pics)no ecm adj. need if you use mech. gauge which is the "real" reading anyway! check out north west, or rochester fuel for upgrades I been running big turbo and inj for over a year runs a little hot up hill with foot in it(but its a Rb so to be expected) good luck

do they not just pop off?

A phillps(star) screw driver, there are four screws in the grills on the back of the cab, Its really not too hard to figure out!

have you noticed that your speedo dies for a split second or has a slight jump when this happens, check your positioin censor, front right of block, pear shaped with a single bolt going through it, when you find it sometimes hidden kinda behind wires, pull it out clean it and if it has 1 gasket on it add another gasket on top of old(2 gaskets) and reinstall. If it has 2 gaskets remove 1 and try it. I have done this to many E7 & etech. good luck

hey I too have the stage 2 inj. from rochester fuel as well as the bigger turbo from them. dont really notice any change in fuel econ.(cant be helped in a RB roll off, boxs catch to much wind)... but power wise world of difference!! I only get 34-35 psi boost(25psi with jake on), exhaust gets a bit hot on a long climb but cools right down quickly on the down. I had to get the plastic intake breather pipe off a CL and cut it down it fit turbo, and got a pipe made with proper angle for hot pipe to air to air. I feel I need a bit more air flow though, so I got an old oem (tip turbo) hood scoop, and will be adding a K&N 6" flang filter to the breather to turbo pipe! Its alot harder to do this stuff to a RB than a CH or CL...BUT real trucks rattle!! check out my garge pics I think I have turbo pics

check the return fuel pressure check valve it may be losing the prime, do you notice a change in the idle? is it surging? you will find it on right side of engine between 4th and 5ft eup. if it needs changing MAKE SURE you put the same vavle as stock, they come in 3 diff. pressures! and check the eup Orings in the block for leaking.

in ontario, you have to have a min. of three threads showing(past the nut) after the wheels are torqued

Check out www.jpchrome.com they have stainless ones there, I got 1 for my Rb last year bobo

I know what ya mean...They wont let me in or out! lol

Well changed turbo and inj. today, rev'd much faster, jake stronger(22psi@ 1900) and felt like more power(no load), but when on test drive, was only gettn 28psi of boost again? so we checked air to air AND wouldnt you know it IT HAS A HOLE IN IT!! get a new air cooler, install it, AND would you know it.. AC condensor now leaks!! spend spend spend...that what the wife says its only money YEA RIGHT!

hey any parts jobber will sell the gauges you need. I changed over all my gauges to stewart warner, they were 50-75$ at summet racing.

very nice!

I know I'd be crazy to remove the air to air! I was thinking to use it in conjunction with air to air, have it enter before the turbo, kind like a DD blower? like I say just thinking out loud I have the turbo kit and stage two injectors from Rochester fuel. tried to install it on the RB, but quickly found out the my air intake piping would not work with the turbo. the supplied elbo was for a CH/CL. but hunted the proper stuff down to make it fit, JUST HAVENT HAD THE TIME TO INSTALL! LOL holidays are comming soon gonna do it then. I will be damn sure to tell you if it works or not!!
