6.5 td

have a few questions about putting one in a k5. is there any clearance problems? does the turbo hit the fender at all? about the wiring harness, what all do you need? i would use a 94 so it wouldnt be computer controlled to make it alittle easier..

i think there is an interference between the stock AC box and the exhaust feeding the turbo, but im not exactly sure

If you have AC on the firewall you can run into problems squeezing it in. One solution is to use the smaller box from an S10 Blazer.

id completely scrap the ac, so thats no problem. is that the only problem with the swap?

 

[BKinzey]

That's pretty much it

anyone know any companies or anything that sells parts for 6.5s? there is not really an aftermarket for them. what else can you do to build one besides turbo (more boost), pistons, alittle pnp, and more fuel? does anyone make cams for them? would it be worth haveing a custom grind?

check out the diesel section, there are multiple threads on 6.5l and 6.2l builds
