Just wanted to know who has done a 170 to 215 IP swap?Want to know the perforamce gains by doing this swap.The 215 pump will get the 3K springs and the #10 plate.I will also be keeping the stock HX35 turbo.

I think it would be a nice upgrade because the 215 pump seems to get alot more aggresive with just a plate compared to the smaller pumps. I guess u'd just have to wiegh to price and gains. If u get a great deal on a 215 pump i'd do it, then u can sell the 170 to re-coupe quite a bit.

I would take the 170 to a pump shop and see how tricked out they can make it IMO. If you are going to get crazy with power than you *could* have the advantage of extra EXTRA rack travel that the 215 can not do.

Well you know, If you want I'll trade you my 170 for your 215.

I went from a 180 pump to a 215 pump and the 215 injectors. I installed the #10 and GSK kit at the same time and its a real kick in the pants. I would guess it was somewhere around 100hp. You will out of air with the stock turbo

Not to steal your thread but I was wondering what kind of flow can be had with a 160 pump? Can this be turned up accordingly by the right pump shop or would I be better off just getting a 215 pump and going that way??

Good question...I know guys installing the aftermarket DV on the smaller pumps.As for anything else,I'm not sure,unless you start ripping the pump apart and start installed a beefer cam profile...

I'm running 215 injectors with a 180 pump 10 plate and 3K gov.

3500 RPM, 38 PSI boost and runs like a striped *** ape. I pull a 40 foot 5'er and have power to spare. Even in the hills.

if you're gonna swap just get ur current core built to whatever u need by any of the reputable performance guys. May cost u a few bucks more but u will have new internals and a serious pump for whatever u need

gunracer1

they don't put new internals in most pumps. the rebuild most of the time is just a good bench tune with a over priced tag.
