After a lot of colorful language and busted knuckles, the High Tech Turbo HTB2 is on and functioning. My mechanic friend hates me even more. :mad:
It seems to have cleared the air (literally) on my remaining annoyances. A little more tuning and I think I've got it. If you recall, after the 4" exhaust install I acquired a big lag and a lot of smoke. Tuning, timing and AFC spacers, even resetting the IP timing to stock didn't help much. I had this heavy haze at idle and a blow (not a puff) of black smoke on any acceleration. The haze is gone completely and only a puff at each gear taking off from a stop. :mrgreen:
The HTT turbo sits further back by about 2 1/2" than the H1C, so you can imagine the fun. The down pipe took a major alteration but turned out for the better giving me more room next to the drive shaft. The oil drain tube is now an oil drain hose. And I will probably have to lengthen the tube to the intercooler.
RIP 91.5 W250 5 speed. The great experiment.
92 W250 HD 47RH with Compushift. Upgraded H1C to 62/60/16, Scheid Lightning VE, 60# valve springs, DAP 7X.010 injectors, 4" DE exhaust, home made cooler tubes.
01 2500 "the work truck".
