prepping 6.2 turbo to go in mah jimmy.

[blazinzuk]

Looks like the 6.5 intakes fit. Does anyone know for sure?

Also looks like I would need to build an adaptor for the banks stuff. 6.5 being squarish and the 6.2 being round in the plenum opening.

6.5 intake does fit. That's what I'm running in my truck. It's slightly shorter in height, and the opening is different in cross-section, so my stock (round) air cleaner wanted to contact the IP, and it probably leaks a bit around the edges (I don't have any adapter).

If you get the top side sealed, I think it will do fine for your purposes.

I did wind up with no CDR output when I did this swap.

You can read up on it here.

6.5 intake does fit. You would need to adjust/build the turbo to intake piping from your banks kit. The banks has a "top hat" that sit atop of the intake, takes the spot of stock air cleaner. The 6.5 f intake is a 2 piece deal.

What did you do for CDR?

Ugh this needs to stay simple now. Just gonna remove the egr. I just barely got the 6.2 torn down last night. Gotta love the drivers side thermostat housing crossover thing inner bolt.

Uhh...uhh...nothing. That picture is still current.

Not particularly proud of it. It blows out onto the rocker panel. After several thousand miles I now have an oil spot underneath.

I'm still taking suggestions on what to do with it. It's the closest thing to pressurized boost that I have.

Free rust protection! Can you plumb it in the intake, pre turbo? That is how most are. Some folks run a catch can to keep intercooler clean(er).

Anyone got pics of the crossover pipe for the banks kit. Looks like it comes under the front of the oilpan?

I have some random 2" mandrel bends and no exhaust crossover. So gonna order a couple of short peices with the correct far and go to town

I can get some. Give me a bit.

In Banks factory form it does cross over in front of the pan - actually under the crank pulley. Here's an old oily pic from my build thread:

When I went crossover/hi-steer I had to move the pipe upward (see post #29 in that thread).

Here is my crossover. If buying, they make different crossovers for the different models. If making no big deal.

The problem is that I'm not running a turbine setup. So I can't plumb it into the turbine. But I'm running a 6.5 intake, which has no inlet for it (unlike the c-code and j-code manifolds). So...it sits there in limbo because neither of the conventional locations exist on the truck at this point.

I was thinking my 6.5 intake is just a taller version of my 82 J intake. Then I remembered it is a P30 NA 6.5.
