    I swapped out my water methanol nozzle last night for an 883ml/min one. I ordered a 625ml/min but snow sent me the big daddy lol. Anyways, not a real big deal, i just adjusted the controller so it is starting spray at 2lbs and ramps up to full spray at 14lbs (which it never reaches). Since i have it set up like this, the most i saw around 8lbs was 43% injection so it would be somewhere around the 380ml/min mark.

    I also had a light bulb come on last night regarding why my tune is running lean sometimes in low boost situations (typically in the 2-3lb range before richening up a lot). When i swapped my motor, i swapped fuel rails and injectors too, bc my old ones had 270k on them. However, in the FSM, it states that the injectors' flow can range from 284-344cc's. I remember with my old injectors, i would see AFRs in the 12-12.5 range in low boost and then it would richen up higher than that. Since swapping injectors out, it had a lean spot where AFRs would try to spike to the 13.5-14 range under low boost. So i went back and added fuel with the 7th last night and it seems to be a little better now. Need to dial back the water/meth some and do a little more testing to possibly add a little more. I'll probably tackle that this weekend, but for now the tune is getting better.

    I sure do! I've been meaning to PM you about this. Things are finally slowing down at work. Do you have any idea how many days you'd need the truck for to get things rolling? I would definitely like to get this going so there is an option for a quality manifold.. I've been getting the itch to turn mine up a little but leave the stock internals for now. Turbo seems like the obvious choice to do that :D

    I just need to order material, and have it in hand, prior to you coming down. Then it would be a lot quicker to mock everything up on a weekend. Then get you back together to head home on a Sunday. In and out.

    I would just cut and tack everything.

    Installed some daystar shock boots today to provide a little more protection for the shafts. Did some research and found these that @whatstcp used and they worked perfect on my 2.5s.

    They work awesome and cheap as heck. Backstory to that is I went to the actual king shocks location since they are local to me for some new shock shafts since the shocks I had were pitted to hell. While asking about the shafts, I asked if I could get the fancy King shaft guards to prevent it from happening in the future. The guy kind of did an ehhh and said that honestly he'd recommend running some cheap boots like Daystars. When I voiced concern (from TW nonetheless) about the boots trapping moisture/grit and causing early seal failure and requiring sooner rebuilds, he said that it wasn't a concern and that lots of folks run them without issue. He could have easily upsold me some pricey shaft guards but made his honest recommendation. Been running them without issue myself, they were cheap af, and they show no signs of dry rot/splitting after a good time. It's what I'll be running from now on since I routinely fling rocks everywhere since my idea of choosing a good line on a technical trail is pressing the skinny pedal harder.

    Those are a good find for sure! I was looking at my shafts yesterday and one of them is definitely gonna need replacing next time i rebuild them.
    Have you heard of anything for the front coilovers? I live on a rock road so id like to try to find something for those too if i could. Ive read mixed things about the covers like icon uses on theirs but i feel like they might be worth a try.

    Haven't tried them yet and my fronts haven't shown any signs of significant pitting yet. I've been curious about them too. Just like the Daystars, I wonder how the icons would hold up. They are a bit pricier so I haven't cemented the idea of trying them out yet. Maybe next time I pull the coilovers for a rebuild I'll play with the idea more

    Have you set your mind to which turbo you're going to get?

    Which turbo may change the turbine inlet flange. From T3, T4, 2.5" V‐band, or 3" v-band sizes.

    Let's discuss.

    No sir i sure haven't, i need to do some more research on this, but i am leaning towards a v-band either way, just because i have fought exhaust leaks in the past and dont feel like dealing with that again.

    What would your recommendation be for a turbo to push the limits with the stock bottom end? I'd like to be as close to 375-400 crank hp as possible without giving up too much low end torque, but i know that it's ultimately a compromise. I'll be honest, i have a lot to learn when it comes to turbos, so any advice you can lend would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to pay more for a good quality compressor if it means it will spool a little quicker, and just for reliability sake since this is my daily.

    I think i may give these a go next time i rebuild mine. At first glance it looks like some of the resi 90* fittings might interfere, but nothing too bad i dont think

    Good afternoon John! Have a good one brother:cheers:

    Look at the G Series Garrett turbos, and the Borg Warner EFR turbos.

    One of the perks of the BW EFR's is that they can have both integrated BOV and W/G.

    I am thinking the G25-550, for OEM style spool. Or the BW EFR equivalent.

    The G25-550, I believe only comes in a 3.5" outlet.

    The BW's all come in 3" outlets.
