does anybody have any experience with htt 71ss turbos yet. i have a quick diesel and it is no fun to tow with. would i be better going down to a 62/14 or staying with the 64 and getting the stainless 13 housing. once this turbo spools, its fine, it just takes a long time to spool going up a hill with a trailer, and its around 1200 degrees before it even thinks about spooling up

I'm on the same page????

Last year i had a II SPS 62 on my truck, with some 300 injectors, towing sucked. Went back to the stock injectors, same thing, towing sucked. Got rid of the SPS and wound up with a DD Jammer turbo, the Jammer tows great, but I just got the itch to try the HTBG with a stainless 13 housing this summer.

That will work great for you. The SS62 will get the loads moving for sure. I tow 15k with the mods listed & could run Smarty sw2/ Drag Comp 3x5 towing & egts won't go over 1200*.

the ss13 is the way to go i love mine and will help with spool, i would switch to a 62.

What's your max egt's with the TST & Smarty cranked up 99globalwarmer?

Amazing this topic gets posted....I just finished sending a PM to HeberRam for more information on his personal opinion of his research. Do a search and read HeberRam's postings on beta testing the new SS, both 62's and 64's. I talked with Dave at HTT twice last week regarding my setup and the new SS. I really like my setup unloaded, except for the smoke generated initially in low-boost conditions. For towing, its okay during the cooler days and sea-level, but on a hot South Carolina day, forget it. I haven't turned the TST on for many, many months because of EGT issues, especially towing. I also do not like the lag with a load. The HTB2 doesn't lite off until around 1700-1800 RPM. Once it lites off, its okay, but until then, it makes me want my 275's and PDR Hybrid 35/14wg back. The new SS 62 lites off at 1300!
I put my name on the list to modify my HTB2 to a 62/71/13 ASAP.

You won't be sorry....best thing I ever did for my truck.

so should i go with the 62/14 or 62/13ss. does the ss really make that big of a difference? i kind of asked this question before i got my 64/14, and it sounded like the 64 was the way to go. as soon as i ordered it, it seems like everyone started bragging on the 62. nothing is ever as easy as you think it is going to be. i guess ill try the 62 now, and if it goes the way everthing else i do goes, ill probably have to try 3 other sized turbos. lol

BARTMAN

Only you can answer that question. What is the predominent condition you wish the truck to perform its absolute best in? If its towing, hot street, or racing, each set-up is quite different. There is no one scenario that cover's all bases.
Perhaps this will also explain my garage shelf of turbos and injectors

On these 24valvers, I would go with the 62/13ss with the 71 turbine wheel. It would be one hell of a good setup for anything you wanted to do.

62/71/13ss is it made by II? Does HTT have a turbo thats better or comparable in both performance and price?

J Lent

The 62/13ss 71 series is made by HT. II has one called Super Phat Shaft 62/80.
