Fleece 71.5 and 60 over Injector install

[JD Dave]

I started to dismantle my truck today, only had 4 hours but I managed to get the down pipe off and the right side manifold off. First time I've ever done this so I was quite happy. I also have RDL headers and up pipes to install also. I thought I'd start a thread of the many questions I will have.

Do you have to take off the EGR cooler to get the Turbo out?

How about the airconditioner line above the turbo, does it need to come off?

Can someone point me in the right direction where to find torque specifications for my install?




I apprieciate any help that anyone can give me.

Just unbolt the AC compressor.. and fold it over and lay it on top of the pass side battery.

On my LLY the EGR cooler did not have to come off. there is LOTS of torque specs in the GM Specs section ( http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=97 ) You also do not have to remove the exhaust manifold...

You will take off the egr cooler as well if your gonna put the up pipes on since iirc they don't have the provision for the cooler.

If you have ricks up pipes you probably want to remove the EGR completly

remove the A/C compressore and put it to the rear pass side of the truck for install,Dont remove the lines

Heny has posted lots in the GM specs section...if you cant find just ask for the specs and we can go from there

just undo the a/c compressor for the engine bracket and put it to the pass side(on the battery it sits well). With the rdl headers, you are going to take the egr cooler stuff off antways; might as well take it off and clean up the clutter, for when you take the turbo off. Also check with ripmf666, he's got all the specs posted up

Get rid of the EGR and you'll have a lot more room to work on the injectors with.

 

[JD Dave]

Wow!!!! Thanks guys. I will get rid of the EGR completely. I hope Turbo Buick has one made up already.

What pistons are you going with? :spit:

Good luck!

LOL, hopefully the stocks one's for a while. No sense worring about things untill something happens.

Factory LBZ/LMM... They're good to over 700hp... Proved it over and over.

Unless they crack... but there are several trucks out there running stock LBZ/LMM pistons doing very impressive things....

For how long? 700hp would be a lot of fun! :happy2:

Those two trucks are running the same setup ... Jerrod truck ran a full sled pulling season and about 5 passes over 750hp at the strip.

Not saying they won't crack, but we've got plenty of LBZ's with dual pumps and sticks over 700hp without cracked pistons.

What's so funny? It's a known fact that canned tuners will crack pistons. Injectors save pistons... If the tuner knows what they're doing.. Your results may vary ....

Sweet. hope intall goes well, post vids when done.


OT: Brayden, You around tomorrow for a call or busy?

I'm prettty new to EFI Live, so to get a tune do I just email you my stock tune?

Sweet. hope intall goes well, post vids when done.

Thanks. I will take some vids for sure.

Whats funny is thats certainly not the case so dont say its proven. Mine cracked/hole at 530 hp after only 15k miles with a solid tune by a well known tuner with EFI Live.
