couple pics of air intake upgrades on the '89 CTD

[bigwaylon]

don't have a completely stock pic...but this is close:

here's the rest of the stock intake tube...the stock housing is gone, though...with a big open air filter stuck under the fender and some "Old Smokey" filter guard in it's place:

the stock compressor housing on the H1C has a 3" inlet...and a 2" outlet...

the new compressor housing I put on has a 4" inlet and a 2.5" outlet...

the stock crossover pipe had a 2" inlet, and was square...

I replaced the intake side with 4" exhaust tubing and a couple 45-degree silicone elbows...

I replaced the stock crossover with a 3" piece of exhaust tubing, and used a silicone 2.5"-3" reducer and a 3" 90-degree elbow...plus a small piece bolted to the block with just enough of 3" welded in so I could clamp the elbow...

put a coat of high temp Cast Iron Coat rattle can on it all...I think it looks pretty good...

removed the exhaust just past the downpipe yesterday...so I pretty much have the "air" portion of the truck handled for now...next up are a couple fuel mods (timing adjusted and gov spring changed out)...

sorry...didn't get a pic of your hand, so I figured you didn't want the publicity...



Chris did all welding involved...and part of the plasma cutting (the part that looks decent )

yeah...those are part of the plan...anybody know if they can be bought locally? or is Ebay the best bet?

not really needed on the pre-compressor side, but the four connections from the compressor housing to the engine ought to have them...

ebay seems to be the best. What size pipe is that and of what material.
