Purchasing Turbo Friday...HELP

[oldestof11]

The VE pump fuel hard to that point. The 2200 will be the stock 2800 RPM and the 2900 is the 3200 RPM spring we all (except the old guy in the NW side of the country. Sorry Rich! ) love to swap in.

The VE, in order to maintain a max RPM limit, starts cutting the fuel off after so many RPM's before flat lining at the springs tension.

The thing to worry about when selecting the turbo is what RPM's you will be pushing most. If all you do is tow and occasionally play, the smaller turbine will help. If you race constantly, get the bigger one. At higher RPMs, the smaller one will "choke" and get hot.

Thanks
I ended up ordering a PDI exhaust manifold and a silver series 64/74/14 with a 4" down pipe....If this ain't enough, I'll change the injection pump....lol.... weather is finally getting nice here....took forever this spring...

I should get it in about 7 - 10 days....

IF you need help, lemme know. Give me a day or 2 advanced notice and I should be able to help.

I would highly recommend calling Mark Burris at Turbo Diesel & Injection in Indianapolis, IN. He will custom build you anything you want. You pick what compressor housing, turbine housing, and wheels you want, not some dealer selling you a prepackaged HTT, II SB, or the like turbo. Not too mention I see a guy on CF has been selling 1st gen guys S300's with the 3rd gen compressor housings . 1-800-232-2834. Make sure you talk to Mark Burris.

I called Mark today for S&G's. He recommended a 64/71/12 for what the info I gave him on my truck. The thing is the price... $1675. That is pretty much II/HTT/PDR/ATS etc etc pricing. I am sad now.

Not to start a price war, but according to HTT's site, it's $2100 for that turbo. http://www.htturbo.com/ht71.htm. Granted you can usually save a buck or two if you buy from an HTT dealer and not direct, but $400?

Oh it's ok. I guess I was just expecting super cheap prices since its coming from a non famous supplier.

[dazedandconfused]

Call Forced Inductions. Not seen anyone even close to their prices on anything I've asked about.

[The_Head]

I will but I won't be expecting much.

[dazedandconfused]

He was a $1000 cheaper for the same spec 2.6 charger I was priced from the big name companies.

[The_Head]

I don't know how much a 2.6 charger is, but that sounds promising.

They can build anything custom as well.

[RATROD92]

Well....I put on my silver 64/74/14 along with a PDI exhaust manifold......Took it for a ride and all I can say is not impressed....my little H1C had a little more grunt on the low end....but this does pull harder from 2300 R.P.M. and up... but not nearly as much as I would like....I cant get more than 35 lbs of boost....will not go past... my little H1C hit 34 lbs....

I'm guessing I need more fuel....as I only have 5 x 12's

Time for some 6x.016s.
