Pacbrake with Sliver Bullet?

[Dieselman359]

Has anyone tried to mount a pacbrake on a sliver bullet turbo? It seems to me that the bracket that the air cylinder is mounted on, on the brake itself, will come in contact with the inlet on the turbo. I was thinkin' of "re-indexing" the inlet on the turbo, but I don't think that there is enough to 'work with' in lining up the intercooler plumbing. Make any sense?

Yes it can be done, adjust the compressor housing.

Sweet, thats what I wanted to hear! I'm gonna tear into it tommorrow.

Its on

Got the brake installed on Sunday, works great! It was a tight fit.



Merry Christmas all!

So, did it bolt right up? OR, did you have to adjust the compressor housing?



Glad to hear that you got it in.

When I installed my HTT 62/65/14 turbo on my truck I had to not only clock the compressor housing on the turbo I ended up having to trim a little off the end of the bracket that holds actuating arm on the pac brake. It's a tight fit but it works. I might be able to clear a little bit bigger compressor housing... but not much bigger. Aftermarket shock towers are definitely out of the question...

Dieselman - did you have to modify anything else to fit this turbo? Does the same downpipe and oil plumbing work?



I'm considering this swap too because I have a Pacbrake. My turbo is starting to leak oil and has a tiny bit of end play.
