TST Twins / CLDL Stack & twins

Well I'm getting ready to install my twins from Olee Poole. I should get the twins probably this next week. In preparation for the twins I bought the TST Twins to stack with my CLDL. I put on the TST and set it on lvl 3. The CLDL is on the 90hp setting. I also had the ARP bolts installed as Olee is setting my twins to wastegate at 65. The stack of TST and the CLDL is just AWESOME. It will just turn this sucker sideways and it is hardly turned up.

Here's a little bit of what else this truck is getting. I've got the City Diesel Intercooler ordered and it is good to 500psi per Jason at City Diesel. Obviously not gonna need all of that but just wanted to be sure that it had an intercooler that would hold together. Jason told me ours were really rated at only about 30psi and that they would hold up to 45 with the metal side tanks but above that you'd start experiencing pin holes in the intercooler and then it would cr..p out. The truck is also getting treated to the SNOW Stage II kit. The SNOW kit nozzle is gonna be mounted into the new ATS Intake which is suppose to be available for my truck in a week or two.

On the new twins I'll be losing my AFE Stage II with torq tube in favor of an AFE 5" filter on the intake side and the exhaust side will get a 5" downpipe which comes with the twins kit and will have 5" back to a 5" in & out muffler (haven't found one yet,...any suggestions???) and then a "Y" adapter to my Silverline twin tailpipes.

I've strayed a bit from the TST Twins/CLDL stack but I wanted to lay out the whole picture of where I'm going on this truck. Oh yes,..almost forgot. NO CODES on the TST. Just a textbook no problemo install. If your thinking about this stack,..go for it! And yes,...when I get the twins and the rest of it on I'll give you some feedback.

Be prepared to be replacing the Rail Pressure Relief Valve in the future. I believe that mine needs replacing now. BDDL CL and TST(w/twins) on 6/4 would throw P0088 all the time. BDDL Performance and TST 6/6 would also throw P0088 a lot. I currentyl an running with BDDL Performance program, TST 7/6 and EZ on 2 at the track. Of course I only have a little single II SPS66, but doesn't really matter on how much fuel pressure is requested by the stack. I don't throw the P0088 anymore, hhmmm wonder why.

Ok, here's the source of my confusion in your info above. I, and a ton of other guys have been running at least a CLDL on the top setting. I've had mine there for probably 6 months and I've not had a code or any decrease in power. So if I set the CLDL on the perf 90hp setting (less pressure) and if the TST has little to NO pressure (as advertised) then why would I be in danger of blowing the pressure relief valve? Does this mean that a duration timing box like the TST can somehow cause the relief valve to go south? I too have the EZ but it's not plugged in yet and like you I only have plans to do so at the track and that's months away now with weather coming in.

If someone can explain this source of confusion above, then I may be convinced to lower the CLDL a notch and turn up the TST once I have the twins on the truck. Input anyone??

Well I am confused too, I just know that I threw the P0088 code with BDCL and TST on 6/4 a lot. I would throw the code with BDDL Performance and TST 7/6 also. Now I dont throw it at all. Truck pulls strong but tails off on high end in 1/4 runs. Although dyno'd 522 and runs 13.3s consistently, I think may be losing rail pressure on the high end. Other posts recently showed a number of trucks running low rail pressure with my type stacks. I just wish I could afford a DRBIII tool to monitor and see what it looks like through the full hp/torque range. Next year when I can afford the studs and injectors I plan to make sure if the relief valve needs replacing or not.

I'm jealous

AK Ram

I agree that is kind of my wish list for the next year or so . Gonna be hard to read his posts and times and not be very jealous . Makes my list of mods seem inadequate now .

Seems to be all of the mods available except maybe a modded cp3. If all tuned together I see a 325/600 CR approaching the 11s barrier .

How does this intercooler perform temperature drop wise versus stock? Does it take bigger cold air pipes (3") versus stock?

Ok maybe you need to think about injectors also.

Well, if your twins are almost done that must mean mine should be ready to ship as well I will definitely be watching the results of the intercooler with your twins to see if I need one

Which turbos are you going to be running?

OT-OF-Here, hopefully you will be able to run the twins for a week or two on the stock intercooler so we can see some real comparison numbers from the swap?

Intercooler ??

I'm not sure since I don't have it yet. Jason at City Diesel said it came with everything to fit in exactly where my stocker had been. I'll check with him tomorrow if they're open and find out for sure. But cooling and ability to handle the pressure is many times more than stock and if I have potential to have a problem above 45psi then I just want to insure no problemo on that link of the chain. When I looked at Banks, Schied and others, then advertised performance levels weren't even close and by the way neither was the price vs City Diesel. I'm not pitching their product but if it can do 20% of what they advertise it to do then it will exceed what I need by a wide margin and in the mix I'll save several hundred dollars. Not to worry,...good or bad I WILL report how it works one way or the other. By the way, their guarantee is not to be sneezed at either. 2 years against anything!!

I'm gonna be running the Dodgezilla and the B2. As to your question "if you need one"???? I can't see how you wouldn't. Surely if your running twins you will be a long way from 45psi on a regular basis. The stocker just won't hold up to that.
