I made everything and the oil line is some black high temp oil pressure line from NAPA with fittings I dug out of bins and made fit. It looks pretty good really. I still haven't ground down and sanded the welds on the cold pipes to paint them though. So it's really not DONE but it's good enough to tool around in.
The bottom mount I made from 1/4" flat stock and bolted it to the motor mount flange where the trans heat exchanger used to bolt. It bolts to the drain flange that I also made.
The drains are 3/4" silicone heater hose and they "T" right at the stock drain. The "T" I made from the left over drain tubing that I cut off the H1C. I cut the pieces out with a cut off tool and brazed them together. It is very open and is more of a "Y" fitting so the oil doesn't back up into the turbo.
I also made the flanges out of 3/8-8" channel I had and cut what I needed out of the center. That includes the plate on the back of the HX housing and the B3's flange. Then I welded the two flanges together at the base of the HX. I then used the first 90* off the old down pipe to make the bend. It worked easilly with some hammer negotiations.
As for the gaskets, I had a sheet of copper here that was pretty thin so I tapped out all the gaskets I needed and still no leaks. I didn't even have my flanges machined.
I made a trip to here
index and bought a truck bed full of pipe and silicone hump hoses and turbo flanges and straps and a chrome 5" stack for $60. So all in all I have maybe 350 in my twins including the bad HX I bought to get the 12cm gated housing($75) and the BIG CAM CUMMINS TURBO (the B3) from ebay that they didn't know what it was($98) lines and fittings and drain hose at NAPA($90) Refill on the welding gas($35) and the bandaids for all the bloody knuckles($7) electricity to run the lights and welder($25).
Anyhow you can do the math but my spare time is worth nothing to me when Im making my truck faster than yours! :butt: JK I do like the expressions on peoples face though when I eat their 24V for lunch!
