You going twins? What do you have coming, S480?

Are you looking at building the piping? Rip at sourceautomotive.biz has all the parts to hook a S400 under a variety of turbos, including your S300.

It;s looking less and less likely as every day passes..........I do not have the head back yet. or my carp from ceramic coating.......I'm not going to push it back into service too fast. I want good heat cycles and retorques before I feed it heavy boost again.

I have a T-88 available for you Kevin. You should have tons of air with that one. How big is your current turbo? I'm not sure of its measurements. The T-88 is almost as big as the big brother and its rated at 1200 to 1400 BHP. The tubing/hot tube shouldn't be to hard to put together. I was planning using the T-88 with the K-31 that I got. Of course I need way more fuel just to get those turbo to start spooling. My tranny feels good so I just have to some tweaking to get the girl to run right. I just picked up a GT-35 series turbo, just doing the old bench spin test, it seems to spools way faster than the 3788 that I have. I have to find a bigger turbine housing as it looks way to tight so anything much more than stock power levels. It might find a home in my car. I'm trying to talk Alamo into coming out to our meet and chat with us. It seems second most popular conversation with us diesel guys is turbo upgrades. #1 is adding more fuel.

I have a big brother coming,, not totally sure of the complete specs, but I am told it flows fairly equal with a 480 if that makes sense,, it is a big bugger of a turbo,,, I have a silverbullet right now... should flow pretty good with those two together, it is quite a popular combination.... especially with the ammount of fuel that I am running.... I just wish I was a welder,, lol,, Im not even a really good farmer welder,, bubble gum things together


Kevin

oh yeah and I will be ordering my roll bar too this week coming up,,, big things this year I hope

weight is probably not a factor so only the rear tires go on the rollers but width is an issue. in my last dyno thread I put down the max width........I don't recall off hand. but all the regular dually 3500s fit on OK with only an inch or two overhang on one side. speed limited I don't think matter either, it will still measure your rear wheel power output up to that point.

Is anyone thats going, gonna have a smarty that I could use to recalibrate my speedometer? It's pretty out of whack with the 37s on (15km/h slow according to GPS) and I'm pretty sure its throwing my shift points outta whack.
