Went to the VADTR meet yesterday and got my HTB2 installed by Timinva otherwise known as "Mr Diesel". Anyways, it was a real pain because the bottom of the turbo was hitting the motormount and we couldn't get it mounted on the studs of the exhaust manifold. Finally he ended up taking the exhaust manifold half way off which gave just enough room to get it in there.
My results are as follows: . And this morning I am still .
Very quick spool and 42 psi with the boxes on the high settings (Sorry Tim, I couldn't wait till I got home.). I was a little worried on the way home because I couldn't get more that 32 psi and I was getting 30 with my stock turbo!! I finally remembered that I was only running the VA on level 1 and I didn't even have the Quad box on at all so no boost fooling.
Well, of course, with the good you have to take the bad. 03s defuel when shifting once you start making too much power so now I need a Race Anti-Defueler. I hammered it off the line once I made my exit and she just went bluahhhhhh until I let up. Awesome power though and like I said, Super quick spool...

Did I mention that I was happy????

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new turbo, I just installed mine a couple of weeks ago (PS62) and am also very impressed with the difference from the stocker. Unfortunately for me, now I have some Mach 4's on my wish list....
Good luck and enjoy your latest bomb.

Ok, time to hit the dyno.

Does it feel like you were able to pick up any power? Does it smoke less? How are the egt's?

Thanks...

 

for the love of pete....... NO PICS????? 'cmon its a nice day get out there with that digi cam and get 'em up for aproval.....

 

Mike, I am definately going to have to take a ride in your truck sometime
Now you need another dyno run!

 

She definitely makes more power but I didn't look in the rearview for smoke. It was pretty dark out when I got home. The quick spooling makes it take off like a rocket but as I said when it's time to shift to 2nd she just bogs down with the defueling. Hopefully we'll have another dyno day soon. Now I'm just waiting for tax money to finish up the trans and then

I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah............. Done untill it's time for the next BoMB

 

Hey! Who said anything about injectors???????????????

 

or water/meth...

 

My poor lil HY just started seeping oil yesterday. Gotta nurse it along for a week or two...awaiting a couple of turbos.

 

Oh. You mean a couple that you will choose from??????

 

looks good bro, can just see a hint of blue strarting on the hot side of the turbo, next we need a pic of it glowin cherry red.

 

I'll be able to use that as an underhood light!!!

That brings up a question. Why the heck doesn't this truck have an underhood light????

 

Hello
Glad to hear that everything worked out great.

There was a few times there that you had a very concerned look on your face.

I have to wait till the week end to install our new turbo in Leigh Ann's truck.
( but if the body shop gets done with the truck early maybe)

I looked at your pictures, it sure fills up the space nicely.

See Ya
Chris
