Can they be run with a stock turbo until i can afford a bigger turbo?

 

You can probaly run them, but they would get real hot real quick at WOT and the truck would be one heck of smoke machine.

 

What he said is right on

Youd have a wicked low end as well. U would seriously need to get ur starwheel and ur plate in check as well tho.

I made lots of smoke on the mid to top end till I put on the HTT stage IIII compressor, now I have smoke on moderate take off tehn it clears right up, but it can be done with a stock HX. Don't know if I'd try any REAL towing or heavy loads without some sort of hybrid mod or different turbo though

 

I run 370's with stock 181 dv's and a #0 plate all the way forward. This is with the stock turbo, running about 31 pounds of boost. I just started smoking my clutch last night after I installed the plate. It took the previous #8 alright. I can tell you this-you can do it, but don't plan on making even a full 1/4 mile pass at full throttle, unloaded. With the #8, I was able to peg the egt gauge at 1500 for a second or two messing around at about 100 mph on the interstate, unloaded. I suspect that was partly due to having 4.10's and revving the motor up pretty good. But still, be careful.

 

Not trying to hijack but that zero plate is gittin 'r' done huh?

 

i currently have a stock turbo with a 18cm exhaust housing 0 plate, 370's and laser dv's. daily driving it is fine but does have during moderate acceleration and smokes at take off, at full throttle it will shut down a 4 lane highway. egts are at 650* cruising empty at full throttle i'm not sure my gauge only goes to 1600* and it gets there in about 3 seconds. as far as a smoke machine heres a pic of my truck on the dyno

 

halerazor so you're saying that with those mods you can dd just fine? and how does that 18cm lag for dd'ing

 

it is a little laggy but too bad it lights around 1800rpm wish i would have went with a 16cm but i only paid $35 for it and it keeps it cool at higher rpms. i was worried about my turbo exploding on that dyno run it can hit 55psi with no problem, but i keep my foot out of it and try not to go over 35psi. daily driving is no problem i can control the smoke and temps with my foot, the clutch is a pain in the butt though it's very grabby

 

How do u suppose it would take a 14cm exhaust housing?

I was thinking on sliding the plate back , and maybe "un" cranking the star wheel , for now.

Would an HX40 help things out some?

 

The Hx 40 would probably help for right now. I've got a buddy with the same setup except he has a full B-1 and his truck can still get a little on the warm side if he really pushes it

 

a hx40 would cool things down but for a few hundred more dollars you could get a fat phat shaft or a htt turbo

 

where are you guys getting these fat phat shaft turbos

 

phat shafts are sold by www.industrialinjection.com
high tech turbo also has some good turbos www.htturbo.com
