600-650hp single turbo????
 

Ok all, I have been tossing the thought of putting a single turbo on my truck that will support 600-650hp, drive daily and tow, while keeping egts managable while towing and racing. Is there such a turbo. Looks like the the front runner is a GT4094R....... What do you guys think.......I would like to beable to make a decision on a single turbo at the end of this thread...... So lets get some good info and let me know your suggestions...[coffee]

If you are willing to spend the extra funds on a ball bearing turbo, then by all means that is what I would do. However for a more common turbo I would do something like an HTT 64/71/13!

I gota ask why???? you got twins already, youre takin a step back.

I would get at least a 66mm turbo, but if it was my truck and I had the cash I would run a BB turbo, if not Id get a k31. I had an SPS 66 and it was a good turbo, but if it wouldnt keep my 550ish hp cool Id hate to see it at 650.

Not a step backwards, just need to stay in a certain class when it comes to dyno and pull events, which looks like where this truck is headed. Figured if i sold the R-700 set and II Stage 2 pump I could get a Stage 3 pump, Single Turbo, Valve springs and rocker arms and still make 600-650hp.

im looking for the same thing possibly and was leaning towards a II SB 64? I dont need to tow with 600 hp but would be nice to make if i ever dyno

Just throwing the idea around.....its not a definate thing... I an crazy like that anyway. Always looking for something different,,,,,,,,, like shoes.......LOL

Man after all that work to get you into the R700s[verymad][verymad][verymad] Just kidding. You will definately notice a difference in the towing performance from the twins to a single.

Difference in what way........ I know the answer. Its just a thought,,,,,,,,,I love my R-700's. Im sure they are staying,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Just and informational thread, Gee no worry

what are you gonna do with yore BD 700 twins??or is this on a diff truck??

Well, I think you bumped your head, but I can see where you are going if you are stuck with a single turbo... there is no panacea for turbos... you know support 6000 hp on #2 alone and spool faster than my nephew's toy top... The A5k was invented for just such an application but is a bear to tow with... and can't really tow very heavy with the stix needed for 650. The 4094 sure enough moves as much air as a silver bullet and you can tow really well with it too... but 650 is asking too much.

I have no experience with this, but I suppose I'd tell you the best thing would be a gt4202r and you can get a small wastegated EH for it too. Driveability, I'd guess would be similar to a silver bullet or A5k at the worst. It would certainly support the 650hp (about 92-93 lbs/min of air) I don't think towing would be in the cards though.

I can't help but wonder what is going through your mind. If,,,, I had twins a single turbo would be the last thing I would be thinking of. Can't pull in that class....Oh Well.

I hear you guys loud and clear.....I am realizing i am going to keep what I have.....After all its proven and works extremley well for me....Thread closed,,,,,,,,,,,outcome,,,,,,,,twins are staying.

Sure, you can manage this, but you cannot tow your TT through Yellowstone!

Good thing there DUK, stay away from me and let me handle the big hp for a single at the events!!!

Well, Less, don't make a challenge that will break our bank accounts.......LOL I will let you.
