Banks Power Chevy_GMC Trucks: Diesel ’82 - 93 6.2L Forced Induction- Sidewinder Turbo System (early-body) - Manual (Page 13)

Reconnect the positive battery cable only,
making sure there is ample clearance between
terminal and the air inlet connection.
Reroute the positive battery cable back to the
starter solenoid, keeping it clear of the exhaust
system, moving parts, sharp edges, etc.
Remount the jack and jack handle. nOTe: On
some models, the jack must be rotated 90
degrees to clear the air filter housing.
Install the pyrometer (exhaust temperature
gauge) following the instructions in the
pyrometer kit. a gauge panel is included for under-
dash mounting. check that any electrical connections
are not exposed where they could come in contact
with ground and render the gauges inoperative. Keep
all wiring away from exhaust heat and any mechanical
components that could damage the wire.
If optional instruments were ordered, they may
be installed at this time. follow the instructions
provided with the individual instruments. Route all
instrument wiring and tubing away from the exhaust
heat and mechanical components that could cause
damage. nOTe: Remove the 1 ⁄
8
” npT pipe plug from the
left rear corner of the pressure chamber for the boost
gauge connection, if this gauge is to be installed.
Install muffler and exhaust system (not included
with the turbo system) as shown in Figure 17.
Because of various vehicle/chassis combinations,
the illustration provided is general, but typical of the
exhaust system routing.
a separate 3” high-flow exhaust system is available
from BanKs. This exhaust system includes a special
low restriction 3” core muffler, pre-formed tubine
sections and all components necessary to install the
complete exhaust system. The BanKs 3” exhaust
system is required for emissions legal applications.
nOTe: The turbocharger must be oil-primed before
initial firing of the engine, as detailed in the following
steps. This will prevent a “dry start” that might cause
immediate bearing failure in the turbocharger.
Loosen the turbocharger oil feed hose at the
turbocharger fitting.
disconnect the wiring from the top of the
fuel injection pump cover (note locations for
reconnection). This will prevent the engine from
starting.
Reconnect both battery ground cables.
crank engine until oil flows from oil feed
connection at the turbo housing. Retighten
connection and crank engine until engine oil pressure
gauge reading is in normal range. cranking time should
be limited to 20 to 30 seconds, followed by one minute
of cooling. The cranking cycle should be repeated as
required.
Reconnect wires to injection pump.
Turn ignition on and, after the glow plug light
goes out, crank the engine, again in intervals of
20 to 30 seconds followed by one minute of cooling,
until the engine starts. It may not start immediately,
due to fuel lost when adjusting the injector pump.
It also may be necessary to depress the accelerator
pedal somewhat.
visually check the installation for any improperly
installed components, improperly routed wires
and hoses, intake air leaks and any wires or hoses too
close to hot exhaust or turbo components, or sharp
edges.
Run engine at idle for a few minutes, to allow it
to warm. check oil feed lines for leaks. engine
may idle erratically or surge until air is fully purged
from fuel system.
drive vehicle. several short bursts of acceleration are
required to completely purge the fuel system of air.
The engine may run slightly rough until the purge is
complete, but will not in any way cause damage to the
engine.
Check injector pump adjustment. See CHECKING
ENGINE pERfORMANCE.
