my turbo took a dive so now i need another
i was thinking about an s400 i dont want twins and i dont want to spend $1500 on a turbo any suggestions

 

Good luck. It'd never light, maybe with tons of NOS. It's lag so bad, then when you shift it won't want to come back on.

Find a 64/12. That'll move some air for you.

 

Scheids had a s-400 hybrid that was more of a s-300, freind of mine had one it worked pretty well. A full size s-400 is too big for dailey driving, I got one on my truck right now. 1800 rpm before anything in the way of boost with a LOT of fuel, runs about 900 degrees down a flat road at 45mph and hotter as you get faster. forget about towing anything but a log splitter

 

we think my buddie has one (numbers filed off) does take a while to light but when it does WOOSH. Peghe boost guage almost instantly and runs like a raped ape. He's Cowboystoys on here. Truck was built for pulling but he drives it every day and pulls a bit and doesnt run that hot. but it does smoke like a freigt train!

 

Im getting ready to run a S-400 on a daily driver you just need to know how to build Em'! More to it than stripping one off a big rig puttin it on your truck and driving away happily.

he said he doesn't want to spend 1500 on a turbo, you ain't going to build a s-400 for much less than that

 

Go ahead everyone seems to think an S400 is good on a daily driver with minimal mods I say knock yourself out and let us know how it runs!

 

Industrial injection will sell you a brand new one out of the box for $800 bucks

 

I run one, but its not an out of the box combination. it has a 2.7 compressor and it has an s300 exhaust housing machined out to fit. it is on my daily driver, but i also have a camshaft. it produced 621 hp at 3000rpm. it is laggy but with proper afc tuning it does not excessively smoke at low boost. cruise temps run from 650 to 900 depending on the outside air temp.

 

Charleb1 said it would never light. I WASNT telling him to buy one, I was just stating to the man asking the question that it doesnt take NOS to light one and for his info bank their is many mods to make a larger frame charger work on a Daily Driver if he didnt already have this information!

P.S. How is the truck runnin Justin seen the dyno numbers very nice !

 

Thanks,
Its still in one piece!

 

I run one but it has a small inducer 65mm I had a small housing cut to fit its around a 12cm , and it lightes b4 2000 with M6+ egts were 1400+ @ 55lbs . I done it just cause I was tired of breaking shafts ..

 

Is that the titanium compressor?

I'm thinking I might try a small s400 next, but I'm going to need some contact info it could be pm'd.

Stupid phat shaft is seeping oil Maybe thats why I can't make but 35 lbs now

 

Another S300 bites the dust....Leaking oil=worn thrust bearing, rebuild it before its too late.

 

thx for the replies guys
and as for a s400 city diesel sells them for $650
still havent found a turbo yet
