Big 2 days of inspecting cams on dump trucks as they have 20,000 hours and starting to break down often

Yep she's a big girl, have some pics of a dual 10" exhaust and new charge air tubes I made for westrac out at there dyno room. But can't upload them. What were the results? Worn lobes?

Quoted a job for westrac today. Fix all there charge air intercooler box with all new 8" to 7" breeches pieces to 7" tubing off the turbo's for c175-20 engines. Even with massive swages and tripple clamping they are popping the hoses under 32psi boost. We've chased it down to the weekest link which is where the 8" reduces to a 7" breeches piece after the intercooler and into the intake manifolds. Have done 2 x fixes already. Hope we pick up the job. It's a big job that I've honestly quoted. Will be all new tube work and a full new reconfiguration. They are expanding size from the turbo's to the intercooler, but reducing too much on the way back to the manifolds. So far as I'm concerned. I've suggested 3 x fixes but in reality it needs all new tubing. I love working with the guys at westrac, they know there stuff. Which makes my job easier.

Can even be related back to the skyline. Turbo outlet is 2" I/d and 2 1/2" od. 2 1/2" tubing to 3" intercooler so the air has a pressure drop then expands through the intercooler and fills with mass for air cooling then compresses back to 2 1/2" into the throttle body. With a 3" intake to match the size of the intercooler. You've just got to love the principals and practices of turbo charging. It's the reason our Nissan's are animals. :-)
