- Quick overview of installing a turbo kit in a 6.2 diesel military CUCV. Its fairly straightforward, has been working great! If you have any questions please comment, like and follow me on IG at CUCV_PAGE
I got a k5 as well it's nice to see old trucks like these get some upgrades
10:34 The long length of your drain tube will eventually cause it to break off due to vibration. Cutting it back as short as you can & running a longer hose will virtually eliminate that possibility.
Thanks, I did actually end up shortening it up a few weeks after I posted this video. When I did it I wanted to make sure I had enough bc its easier to cut short than remove and add. Thanks though!
True
Good explanation…I’m planning on turbo-ing my 1985 Chevy 6.2 diesel. Be safe and thank you
Thank you! It'll be a lot of fun!
I went with a vintage air set up for ac on mine. Can see where your drivers side alternator would be a problem as the compressor goes there. All in all nice job. Have a 6500 optimizer and a banks set up on mine. Not a power house just a little more pep.
I'm thinking about trading my 2008 Chevy 2500 for a m1009. I've always loved the K5 and figured why not get 20mpg with the diesel. I'm going to look at it this Saturday.
its a great truck, great off road but, gutless and should need bigger axles if you go any bigger than 33s
@@berreta370 it going to be a daily driver/hunting/camper puller. So not going any bigger than what's on there. Not eve n sure what it has for tire size, but they have some giant lugs on them. Check out my other channel. I'm going to look at the m1009 this sunday and will have a video of it shortly after. Its Second Chance Garage , the logo is a red circle with a 2C in it. There r a couple other channels with the same name.
@@NateOffGrid Will do, good luck! They're a lot of fun and if you take care of it, it'll take care of you
thanks for the video. i have an 84 k20 with around 70k stock miles. i usually will get up to 70mph on highways. a couple long steep hills 60-65 on a good day. There is a shorter steeper highway that I can barely keep it at 50. Really thinking about adding a turbo and ac. problem with this truck is that there is a million things that i can do to upgrade it
Dude, I'm in the exact same boat as you...I have the Nostalgic Air A/C setup and am trying to turbo it. Mine's still a 24v setup however so I do need both alternators (I like the extra juice on the starter). I just got a 6.5 manifold, and a used GM-4 turbo. Unfortunately I didn't think about the vacuum wastegate being on the front of those so we'll have to see how it fits with the A/C compressor there. Need to figure something out like what you have with the spring set up. How's that working for you now that you've had it for a few months?
Damn. That's bad ass.
Bro , where did you get your rad snorkel bro i have the same CUCV?
it's for a 90s Toyota Landcrusier, it takes some modification but not much.
Have you adjusted your fuel delivery?
I have an 83 6.2L stock fuel setting with a Banks set up.
Im wondering how much to adjust.
Thanks for sharing your project.
Nice truck! What cooling fan are you running? Just found out tonight that a 1993 5.0 mustang plastic fan fits. Revs up better...improves gas mileage too
What turbo are you using? And you installed the tee at the oil cooling line returned to the engine?
Im using an ebay China GM8 turbo and I installed the oil cooler feed like from the junction box in the driver side oil cooler line. the return is at the mechanical fuel pump plate
@@berreta370 thanks. I am really doing what you said!
Did u increase the size of the injectors? How many cc injectors did you replace the non turbo'd version with?
Im wanting to do the same thing Did you gain a lot more power?
Thanks for the info
Alot of work for 1 or 2 psi
How's the performance and fuel mileage after the turbo?
I've only put about 150 city miles on it so I don't know yet. It's felt the same. Going to be doing a 600 mile round trip in about 2 weeks. I'll get a better idea then.
@@berreta370 Can't wait to hear about it!
@@NateOffGrid Its been great! Fuel milage is about the same from what I can tell, im running 7-7.5 PSI right now. I had to go to a stiffer one that the original one because the original one only made 2psi max. Its nothing crazy but, I can keep up with traffic up hills now lol
Is it original j code
yes it is
Dude toss that old battery tray rats are nesting there 😮
Your exhaust was done by a hack. Get your money back and put the exhaust inside your frame rails with proper supports.
