Which Turbo????????

Hello all,

I have the option of experimenting with a few different turbos on my truck. The outfit I work for has over 100 pieces of equipment with 4BT and 6BT industrial engines so we have a few turbos laying around. I have the option of putting a 16cm housing off an H1C on the original turbo on the truck or a HX30W which I believe is a 12 cm housing.

The truck is a 92 d250 with a nv4500 5spd. I have ordered up and old smokey pin and a 3200 spring and a 13" south bend clutch.. The truck will be a daily driver not looking for crazy power, just some more pep.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

The 12cm would be fun with the 5spd

What clutch did you get? con-o ?

and what fuel pin did you order ?

Got the con-o clutch. Ordered the fuel pin off e-bay. Said it was the original old smokey pin part # PPVE-40.

On another note I did the head gasket in the old dodge today and after 450,000 km's there is still a pile of crosshatch on the cylinder walls and no ridge at the top of ring travel. Hard to beat a CUMMINS.

The HX30 is going to be too small.
