    Catastrophic turbo failure - 72mm Danville performance- Now what?

    Remove the oil fill cap with the engine idling. See if you see puffs of smoke and pressure coming from the tube.

    Do you have all the thrust bearings installed? There are 6 total. It's unlikely that sun gears/spacers would be mixed up in a complete transmission.

    You sure you have cracked heads? It's very rare to see a cracked head on an LBZ.

    Turbo Vane Position code, do I get a new turbo system?

    Be careful with upgrading the turbo. If you go too big, the lag will make the truck less responsive down low (especially with stock tuning), and it will feel (and probably be) slower. With a properly sized upgraded drop in, you can prevent the losses on the bottom end and you might pick up a...

    I'm not sure I disagree with that method. Nitrous has its benefits.

    Catastrophic turbo failure - 72mm Danville performance- Now what?

    That sounds a little more serious than a turbo failure. Pretty much the only time I see a dipstick get pushed out is when you have lots of crankcase pressure which is typically only when you crack a piston; I can't imagine how a turbo failure could cause that much crankcase pressure. Not...

    Catastrophic turbo failure - 72mm Danville performance- Now what?

    If you blew pieces out of the turbo, it's unlikely it will be able to be rebuilt.

    Another reason not to get involved....

    If things actually happened the way they are written up in the article, I don't have much sympathy for the old man who did the shooting. The unfortunate thing about the way our media works today is it is difficult to know how much of the truth is actually written in a news article.

    If you're looking to build it yourself, I would be looking at Goerend for parts. I can get you whatever you need, and I'm about 2 hours east of Ft Worth.

    Roll Pan hitch

    I used a B&W for my truck when I had a roll pan with the hitch behind the license plate, but I built my hitch so the tube was very close to the back of the plate. If your hitch is way back in there, it might suffer the same problem you've been fighting. If you have a measurement for how much...

    1/8 mile discussion and time slips post here!

    Has to be an issue with the timing system measuring trap speed. No way those guys run so close to the same time at every point on the track and have that much discrepancy on the trap speed.

    That's dumb. In Texas you can buy a salvage vehicle, repair it, and get a regular title that is "branded" and says rebuilt from salvage, but insurance will give you whatever coverage you want. My buddy who grew up in a body shop does it all the time.

    Why would it have a salvage title, and why would you only be able to get liability on a salvage title vehicle? Does North Carolina have some dumb laws?
