I think that I have all that a drill , hacksaw and screw driver can give from my '92. I ran the star wheel down until it stopped, cranked the fuel screw in until I had a hard time getting the idle down, drilled three 5 inch holes in the air box, 4 inch exhaust that beats like a bass drum, bully dog pin, bumped the timing up 3/16 from where it was and installed a 3200 rpm spring. EGT's are approaching criticality and there is a tell tale haze not unlike an F4 Phanthom's exhaust when I crunch the fun pedal. I really don't have the money right now but I am looking for a turbo upgrade. I do work this truck and am afraid a HX35 12cm would be a little much for the towing that I do. I am thinking maybe a 16cm or a 14cm to replace the 21cm. BHAF is coming when the current filter needs replacing.

 

Hey Boatnik, I am running the same set-up as you, with the exception of the stack's and the htbg turbo. I am real happy with the turbo weather towing or hunting or running around.it is a good all around turbo.well, until I get the twins built.

 

Cool! I'm waiting for some extra money to come in which won't be until next summer. I want to do my next mod in a "package". In other words, try to have all the pieces parts in the garage before I start mess'n. A good set of injectors and a new wind jammer. At what point should I start to get concerned about blown head gaskets? I really hate having to do things over.

 

Wait! hacksaw? I didn't use the hacksaw. Did I miss something?

 

Actually it was a SawAll. Used it to trim the 4 inch pipe.

 

I like the grinder for that. To bad I don't have any pipe

 

Whatta ya mean "no pipe". You don't sound like the kinda guy that would turn the elbow up and punch a hole in his hood. Come to think of it, I kinda like that idea

 

As far as turbos's go, right now I'm running a BD Super B!! If you can find a deal, don'e be afraid of it. Pretty good little charger. EGT's now top out at just below 1400*....used to top out at 1600+* with the stock 35 and 51psi!!

After checking your sig, how do you prevent whiplash on take off?

 

I should weld up an elbow for the drag strip

 

If you do, may I suggest some flame proof windshield wipers

 

How do you mean?? It takes a lot to get the 8100lb rig moving...check that, 8350 with me driving!

It's not slow though

Yeh, I agree, I'm the poster child for getting sand kicked in my face at muscle beach. The truck wieghts in at 7500 with me in it. Just forget me saying "All Bombed Out". It looks like a month of overtime.....CHA--CHING!, BUTTA-BING! LEts see new injectors and turbo comming up. Sure hope the torque converter and tranny hold up till after Xmas.
