16cm exahaust housing

[Power Ram Man]

i was wondering if a 16cm exhaust housing was good to pull with, my friend who is a mechanic tells me not to do it because i would not be getting enough air out the exhaust side and will evenually burn a piston i realy dont know what is the right size for towing and for more boost which i despratly need only getting 19 psi right now

[PToombs]

I bet he works on ferds, right? Put the 16 on and don't look back! I put one on mine and haven't had a problem. I was towing about 11k last week, and I'm running a lot of fuel. On the level I was running 1000* to 1100*. On the hills, 1200* to 1250*.

hw works on alot of tractors and gassers and a few powerstrokes see he thinks my motors going to blow because of all the problems ford had with the small housing i keep trying to tell him that a powerjoke is a total different motor but insists that a diesel is a diesel hes what do you call hard headed

As long as you're keeping a good eye on the pyrometer, it'll be fine. The 16cm is a good all-around housing; "choking" the exhaust isn't much of an issue unless you're running a 12cm housing or an HY35.

There is no way a 16 will starve you for air...I have 3.5 turns of the naughty screw, ground pin, and a stage 4 turbo upgrade on a 16cm and finally hit 1100...I had to dog the bajesus out of it up a hill to get that.

16 is fine I got one on my hx-35 no problem with it at all.

I have a 16cm and pull about 10-12K when I do it and the 16 cut the black cloud in half starting up with a load. I also have 3.5 turns on the fuel screw which puts the boost at 28 lb under load. Climbing a hill I have to watch the hot meter but that isn't because of the housing,it was a great improvment for mine.

I just put a hx-35 on my 92'. Has the 12cm2 wastegated housing and ive had no problems.

I never saw more than 1100 on the pyro with my 16 and the pump cranked all the way even before installing a Powerstroke IC. But evidently the stock IC injectors won't flow enough fuel to roast a marshmallow, much less burn a piston, so YMMV.

just got my housing in through the mail through high tech turbo for 155$
hopefully im going to get it in this saturday

It would be a good ideal to start soaking the turbo nuts with PB Blaster now, it works real good to spray them when you park it while it is still warm.

[Power Ram Man]

Got it on wow the difference is great im running around 800 degrees and the most i got is 1100 but im still only getting 24 pounds of boost maximum with 2 screws on the naughty screw and other pump mods next im planning on putting on a 3200 govener spring

You will love that 366 spring as much as the 16 cm housing.
I can get mine too hot by dropping the hammer at too low RPMs. Once I am at 2k though I have enough air to burn all that fuel.
