    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    Yeah, window switches are old, so I gotta squeeze the whole unit to make them work. LOL No, I rolled into the first beam, scoot into the second beam then build about 5lbs of boost before the light drops. Buttons on the right side of the dash - there's my WVO system I was making sure was on...

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    It's been over 3 years since DFI Performance did the work on my truck. Last Friday I took it out to Test n Tune at Woodburn Drag Strip and range between 14.5 and 14.8 - not bad for a nearly 19 year old truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv8bsUD96kE

    S366 VS Full Force BASB Bell 300 series Turbo

    Seconds on this. More expensive, but I think it's been well worth it for my build. I've far exceeded the expectations for my power output.

    7.3 Engine Build Disaster

    That really sucks. If you're looking for a shop to do the work, call DFI Performance and see if they can do what you want within your budget. ~Mitch

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    Weird sound from the truck Monday night. Oh my God what'd wrong and what's it gonna cost to fix. Mechanic who is willing to drive 45 minutes out to me to say "exhaust leak, now you know what one sounds like"...priceless. Thanks Wes!

    If you need a source for the ceramic ball bearing tips, I get mine from my good friends at www.alphaknifesupply.com - my preferred size is .125" ceramic balls. ~Mitch

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    For the knife pictures I had a simple "lean to" tent style light box. For the tops, I just have a background and bounce a flash. The logan is really nice. Picked it up from a knifemaker friend who thought he didn't need a lathe, but I think was secretly using it as a reason to then upgrade...

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    I'm using a Logan 1917 lathe, but some of the other top makers are just using bench top hobby lathe models (you just have to take lighter cuts). Camera gear - I'm shooting a D300. When I was in school, I funded my knife collection and USPSA shooting hobby by photographing custom knives...

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    From how I've watched Wes swap injectors, he goes in and has a vacuum system to suck any oil/fuel out of the hole that the injector came out of then goes in with an inspection camera to make sure the whole thing is clean and looking good. I'd rather have him do it than me just for the risk of a...

    E99 Build-up (UW Mitch Build Thread)

    10-4. Got the message loud and clear. Something goes south, park the truck until the vendor you bought the stuff from sends a replacement. No labor warranties in this industry. FWIW, the combination of injectors, Bell Turbo BASB, T500, DFI T4 kit and Jody's tunes pushed my 8100lb to a sub 15...

    E99 needing injectors stage 1 2 or hybrids?

    I'm happy with the 160/30s on my e99. In the end I went with a t4 kit as well but just had the injectors and t500 for a few months. Did a locally built trans about 8 months prior to the power upgrades

    DFI Performance - T4 conversion kit review

    Intake is part of the DFI kit. Not sure what sizes they have them for - this worked on a S366 frame. Call 'em and find out. To make everyone's life easy, here's the shop phone number: (503) 543-3353 - they're open generally 9-5 on Pacific time.

    S366 VS Full Force BASB Bell 300 series Turbo

    When I say "pull" I guess I meant pulling out from a stop. No load, just an 8100lb truck. My set-up is 160cc/30% from PIS, LASB turbo, DFI T4 kit, Riffraff intake manifold, 4" diamond eye turbo back with muffler, DP Tuner tunes.
