Excited for the update video!

[@ziadajam5433]

I think your running a bit rich there bud. Mr. Banks wouldn’t be the happiest. Great video

[@Cduerr92]

Great video and very informational. Been looking into essentially the same setup for my 06 mega.

[@LazyDWorx]

I have over 1,000 miles on it now and I love it, sounds great. Just started a review video that I’ll do after I’ve been driving it for a bit. Have you done anything to your truck yet?

[@Cduerr92]

@@LazyDWorx truck has simple mods. Turbo back 4” MBRP, an afe intake tube, and a smarty jr. Really enjoy it, just looking to see what’s out there for affordable upgrades. I don’t really plan on ever making big power with the truck. Just a little extra to have some fun and help with towing

[@LazyDWorx]

@@Cduerr92 yea I’m going for the same thing, love these trucks. Little extra power and overall reliability upgrades, really don’t want to ruin trucks ability to work

[@Cduerr92]

@@LazyDWorx precisely, look forward to that update video

You need more fuel brother! I have one of the 64/67 on my 04 and it's really right at home with a set of 150hp-100% overs. I have a 10mm supporting it, but I had it on my 05 before with dual pumps it was even better. Good turbo for 650 horse or so, I am bored of it now but it would probably suck hard with stock fuel lol. I can't imagine driving stock fuel trucks again haha. Throw some injectors in man and let er eat!

[@brentmcmahon8188]

Your right about the oil line being so close the exhaust manifold and I listen mine an turned it so it was quit a bit farther away and I seen a diffrent guy that put a power steering cooler between where oil came out oil filter bracket and then went threw cooler and the into turbo and he put a heat gun on each and there was 40-50 degrees cooler .

[@LazyDWorx]

That’s a good idea, I bet that would help the turbo last longer

[@justinmaxwell-vv9my]

I’ve got the stealth 64 on my 04.5 2500 manual I don’t like it for towing at all. Lag is very noticeable. I’m not on stock fuel either 60% overs with 10mil pump.I had to keep the truck at 2200 rpm towing to stay cool. I ended up pulling the turbo and running s475 over stock and it’s much better good performance quick spool and towing egts are way down. The 64 may be good for an auto truck but on a manual I don’t recommend.

[@kmack282]

The EGTS are minimally higher, so little its not even worth mentioning (50). New horn, delete the cat, straight through muffler if it doesn't have one. That will drop them a bit. You'll notice egts climb higher and faster when you don't hammer it. That is because of the lag. Once it spools it cools.

[@LazyDWorx]

Definitely, I called and talked to them about it and it is all normal, the EGTs even doing harder pulls stay in a safe range. The worst thing for the EGTs for me is if I lug the truck in a higher gear, with lower boost and more fuel it really climbs quick, that has been easily remedied by changing driving habits.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

That’s the turbo that I have been looking at for my stock truck but Iam thinking of a Sneed Speed high mount exhaust manifold because I just hate that the turbo mounts to the rear which in my mind is just wrong !

[@LazyDWorx]

Do it! You will love it. I waited a long time before pulling the trigger, wish I would have done it sooner!

[@vivodelabasuraquetiranenusa]

Stupid question. How far do you put or turn the new studs?

[@LazyDWorx]

So with head studs they’re supposed to be like a half a burn up from bottoming so I just followed the same rule here. There was nothing that came with the studs that said anything specific so I would bet bottoming them finger tight would be fine, I would not tightened the studs down past finger tight though.

[@vivodelabasuraquetiranenusa]

Thank you for thanking the time to answer my question. Thank you for the video as well. I have a 2003 5.9 I’m looking at getting the same turbo and replacing the manifold as well.

[@LazyDWorx]

@@vivodelabasuraquetiranenusa doing the manifold at the same time makes the job a lot easier for sure.

[@rodandreelfishing893]

Do you have aftermarket injectors or did you do just a turbo on your truck?

[@LazyDWorx]

Exergy sportsman’s. Pretty much stock but they advertise a small gain over stock. Also Smarty Jr. I run on the 100ho setting. Probably going to get EFI Live after a couple more changes. Runs great though, had it on for 1000 miles now and it’s awesome.

[@rodandreelfishing893]

Do you run a fass fuel system or stock?

[@LazyDWorx]

@@rodandreelfishing893 also still stock, was checking out the fleece in-tank pump. I don’t really like how loud most of the pumps are when they’re mounted on the side of the frame. My truck is mostly for hunting and camping so I’m not going too wild with big upgrades want to keep it reliable and try and get it to 500,000 miles. What’s your truck?

[@rodandreelfishing893]

Oh nice I have a 2004 ram 2500 24v 5.9

[@rodandreelfishing893]

I have the same goals keep it reliable but change a few little things here and there.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

You have to use the copper colored ones that’s for heat the silver color is for no heat bolts .

[@LazyDWorx]

Good call, didn’t know that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@kmack282]

You didnt need to disconnect the injectors. Should have filled the turbo with oil before connecting the pressure line. Even without doing these things; its never going to be an issue; idle spin is slow.

[@LazyDWorx]

The instructions from Calibrated Power, Stealth 64 manufacturer, really emphasize the importance of making sure the turbo is lubed before starting, you could also put some fresh oil in on the oil supply line connection.

[@RobertHasty]

Any reason you picked this over the cheetah?

[@LazyDWorx]

Stock appearing, I live in an area that is pretty restrictive of aftermarket parts.

[@johngilbreth4596]

Brother get something a little better than the factory airbox

[@LazyDWorx]

Good call, I got a Banks intake that I put in just after this, there are so many videos on intakes I didn’t make one. I did get the Banks intercooler kit that I’ll be installing on my next video of the truck 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for watching. Any other recommended upgrades?

[@brentmcmahon8188]

That factory air box is just fine it pulls cool air from out side of engine compartment and if they flow more they are not filtering the air very good. Now Banks makes a nice one that has scoop just under the front air dam so it gets forced feed bet most of them are just for looks they make deal that you can hook on the air intake and shows the vacum is pulled threw the after market air box’s and the ones pulling the most did not filter the air as good as the stock filter. I had 1982 that had the biggest air filter I have ever seen !

[@ASSHOLE123456ish]

Where did you get the replacement head lights

[@LazyDWorx]

Amazon, they’re nothing special but the light coverage is actually pretty good for aftermarket. I see some people get the AlphaRex light that are $1000, hard for me to justify that when these were under $300
