OMG - what a differance the Mods made to my truck.

The only problem is I can peg the Pyro at 1600 deg prety darn fast. What do I need to do to keep these under control (besides keep my foot out of it )

I had a #10 plate put in and pushed full forward and then backed off 30k. I also added a 3kGSK with a 4" duel exhaust.

Any suggestions??

Cheers,
Ron

 

Bigger turbine housing, or a different (bigger) turbo.

 

get an air intake, i couldn't get enough air with a k&n filter in my box. vacuum gauge was buried with my #6 plate. i bought a afe megacannon and now have plenty of air

 

htturbo (high tech turbo) in utah will modify your HX35 to take a 60mm compressor wheel (same as an HX40 wheel) match that with a 16 or 14wg exhaust housing and you can cool those EGT's pretty well

 

Call High Tech Turbo, they'll set you straight (801) 304-0700

 

What kind of boost are you getting from your turbo? My dad had the same problem with his truck and he could only get about 20 -25 lbs. of boost. He had a hose come off part way on the bottom of one of the hoses by the turbo. Had it put back on now the boost is up to 30 + psi. and his EGT are way down to about 1050 on a long hard pull up hill.


98 12 valve no modes except TAG

 

I'd back the plate off just a hair more.....

You could try to adjust your gov lever arm. The directions are on Piers website. Lifting the arm up a bit will cause it to cut back the fuel a little sooner and "should" lower your higher RPM heat. It will also give you a bit more bottom end. Be careful though as you'll make lots of power when your trans oil pressure is low.

 

My boost is fine, I get a max of 32. I also had a high flow air filter installed and I drilled five one inch holes in the box.

Baker's Diesel quoted me $550 for the hybrid turbo installed, I will call hi tech turbo and get a price before the end of the week.

The tech at Baker's Diesel said the hybrid would reduce my egt's by about 150 deg so it might take backing off the #10 plate to make up the rest.

The only concern with the new turbo is frying the stock tranny. I've been getting some chatter out of the TQ converter (when I try) but it's real easy to stay away from it with right foot control. The new turbo might push me over the top.

I know I did the upgrades backwards but the tranny will come sometime next season.
