To much fuel for a 35 now put a HT3B under it

 

My buddy has that setup with a #0 plate in his truck. It needs delivery valves, because now it has a miss at low rpm's. EGT's are pretty bad. Controllable, but it gets hot quick. About 44lbs or so of boost is what he sees. And his truck is a 95 with the smaller pump than yours. You should be fine with injectors and no Delivery Valves with your pump. It would be a running son of a gun; but EGT's will be hard to control pulling.

With my setup the pyro goes up allmost as fast as the boost. In 4th and 5th at WOT I can hit 1600 deg. I need to do something with the turbo (working on twins)dont think it would be much fun to tow with the way it is. But the truck can still be driven just have to watch the pyro.

 

Hmmmm

A B1 should cool it sufficiently no? If so then i will just stick with a 10 plate, 16 degree timing, and the gsk until i can afford the B1 turbo... I really do not want twins.... Dont want to pay for the kit, nor do i have the time or patience to formulate, and figure out twins... I do pull alot tho, i see a trailer once a week on a bad week, about 4-5 on a good one..... so that is a huge consideration....

A 0 plate was way out of the question to begin with... so i wont turn in that direction.... thanks for the input fellas.. anymore ideas?

I have the 370 bosch injectors, 4000 gsk, 14cm housing on the stock hx35, and a #5 tst plate slid all the way forward. I have more power then I know what to do with. My friend has a 24 valve 2002. We put the edge bow on his wit diesel dynamics big injectors, and an hx40 turbo. We both have the same DTT converter and trans mods. His tail gear is 3:55, mine is 4:10. From 0 to 70mph I take him by 4 truck lengths and hold to around 70 when he starts to catch up and come even with me at about 90mph. Daily driving is no problem. It's actually fun to drive. Towing you have to be carefull. Most people are concerned with exhaust temps, I would be more concerned with breaking someting in the drive train. I realize you have a manual trans and that may help, but if your pulling a lot of weight and you put your foot into it off the line, you'll first get a large cloud of smoke, and about three seconds later you'll have mega power going to the rear wheels. The rear wheels won't spin due to the weight on them so something has to give. I've broken two input shafts, and blew the rear pinion in half once, all while pulling. I think the bigger the turbo the worse the problem. You just have to learn to ease into the throttle and let the turbo catch up before you bear into it, sort of like learning to squeeze the trigger on a gun, not just pulling the trigger. I also keep my boost regulated at about 30 lbs. I didn't find more power above that, only tons of compressor surge.
