DAT510 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 The turbo is in the bed? Do it Remote turbo, they function pretty good if there is still enough exhaust pressure at a given distance. which that 5-0 will do. that would be sick if you did that Samson :lol: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 They function pretty good for top-speed or constant-speed use. Not very good for regular driving as there is a lot of lag. Quote Link to comment
Brock_Samson Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 In a straight line itll work just fine, you just have to build the boost like a turbo diesel to get a really good launch out of it... not what you want for road racing or autocross but i dont expect this tank to do that lol.continuing on...mounted right there actually pretty descent if anybody's interested im ditching them for something more streamline...oh and anybody have any idea what these modules are??

ggzilla Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 One of those is the Horn relay i think. Quote Link to comment
Brock_Samson Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 well i guess i gotta find which one so i can ditch it lol... Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Think this 'd work for yah? Looks like the lower center's been messed with but...... Quote Link to comment
Brock_Samson Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 looks like it took a good hit... i think ill make do with the one i got for now, and cross that bridge later... Quote Link to comment
Brock_Samson Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 anybody got a pic of the original front engine bay and frame, mainly how the cab, firewall, and core support mounted to the frame. thanks Quote Link to comment
josh817 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Horn relay is the 3 wire, the other is headlight relay. Horn relay, one wire goes to the horn button/turn signal switch, the other goes to 12v, and the third goes to the horn. Horn button grounds out, flips the relay. My horn button thing had a horrible ground so I just hooked up a toggle switch for it that forced itself back into the original position instead of staying switch on, like a remote starter button. Light relay, one goes to the your turn signal switch, another goes to the light switch, then two go to the headlights, one of those two also directs back to the gauge cluster for dash lgihts.

DanielC Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 On the light relay, there is only headlight wiring, and a smaller wire that goes to the steering column. The dash lights run off the parking light circuit, so the parking lights come on without the headlights being on. Here is a picture from a 521 service manual showing the details of cab mounts.

521620 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I agree you cant, i will be tossing those wheels anyways... Heres the motor action.. I need better light.. radiator is definately in the wrong place.. plan to go with electric fans or relocate the Rad to the bed, along with a rear mounted turbo (maybe) the decal says Edelbrock... so it must be legit lol Holley Carb though... Not me in this vid, i had my Pops visiting, took him back a bit to when he had me rebuilding motors in the garage lol... Very big engine.What v 8 you put in 521? Quote Link to comment
