Im not sure if this is in hte right spot, but can anyone fill me in on which trannys and turbos went in our trucks, specs and what years? I started to follow it at one time then kinda lost track...So is their any list or anything...

Like this Tranny/Model#/Speeds/years


Something like that?


Thanks Mike

 

I think you will find most of your questions answered here... http://www.dodgeram.org/

that helps alttle, now anyone know the turbos?

 

94-2000 are all HX35's...but the later ones, I think in 99-00 had a smaller compressor wheel, with less blades/fins. A little more efficient

01-02 Sticks are still HX35, 01-02 Auto's are Hy35's...smaller exhaust housing for fast spool! Choke at 35psi!

now what exactly does a wastegate do?....i know i been around for awile, just havnt been to the turbo or trans threads....sri for the dumb questions

 

A wastegate allows exhaust gas to go around the turbo wheel, so it doesn't "pickup speed!"

Basically, we can use smaller turbine housings to get better spool, then wastegate them to keep boost down to safer levels!

Makes sense??
Chris

 

Yep...Now i see a piece of rubber tubing on some turbos...like 1/2inch diameter...What is that?

 

Coming from where???

Chris

 

I believe that hose your asking about is what is used to plug the wastegate, to spool the turbo quicker and build more boost.

 

Now can that be pluged on a 24v 2nd gen?

 

Yes...but not without a box/Smarty/ boost fooler to tell the computer it's only "seeing" factory boost levels!

Chris

 

Perhaps Mike is asking about the waste gate actuator hose? (blue hose in picture)
If so, turbo pressure (cool air) passes from the turbo to the actuator (through the hose) and pushes down on a diaphram in the actuator to move the arm, which opens the waste gate at the desired pressure.


RJ

 

Yup! Mine is, but you need a box with a boost fooler.

 

And thats only on a aftermarket turbo?

 

Nope, stock, aftermarket, anything with a wastegate!
