ok my buddy has a S400 turbo that he said he would sell me....I have an 02 H.O. 6sp with a TST PM3 Comp and thats it...would this be a turbo I could run if I upgrade my clutch...or would I need some big sticks to go along with it...I know I need an intake thats gonna be ordered soon...but other than that would I be good to go with it??

 

your not going to be able to drive your truck on the road with a s400 as your only turbo.

Now, you could stack that under your stocker and have one heck of a setup!

 

thats what I was wondering cause he has it on his 97 pulling truck and its way to much turbo for his truck...it takes him prolly 5 min to build up boost and it really never builds up enough....he said it would be alright for my truck cause mines a manual and his was a auto though....

 

nope, but that is a popular turbo to fab a set of twins out of

I am going to make a set of twins with a sps62 and a s400/b2 here in the near future.

That would be crazy lag running it as a single!

 

what would be a better turbo to go with for my set up if I go with a set of sticks like mach 4's

 

your looking at about a ps 62. Throw a smarty on that and you can get the sps62. You'll be running quite cool. Maybe a bit more lag than you'd like, but stick the smarty on there and it will be night and day difference. Its insane how much quicker the smarty makes the turbo light!

 

I think when I get done I would like to have a set up of TST PM3 which I already have, smarty, bigger sticks, south bend, and a larger turbo, I think a set up like that would get me some good power but not enough to worry about takin the head off for some studs or anything...

 

with a tst pm3, smarty and mach 4's your lookin at least a sps 64 but a silver bullet would be better if you dont tow. However, if you tow, the SB isnt the best choice

 

I do tow but nothing extremely heavy....Its usually a 18ft car trailer with a jeep on it..but I would want to be able to tow it to moab from indiana with no probs...

 

i would think 2wice about not doing the studs atleast. these gaskets stock can blow at as low as 40psi. and if you go over that, well your just pushing your luck. with that setup and a turbo, you will have no problem gettn over 40psi.

 

How about a setup simular to Charlie8301's:

Mach 1.6 + smarty + tst + sps62 for a 450+ combo

Studs are still a good idea and can be done w/o removing the head

 

But would the 64 surge when towing?? I know,..I should be the guy to ask but I don't even own a hitch

 

if I went with a set up like that would a big line kit or a hot rod pump benefit me?

 

i dont think that it would be unbearable. Surely its not as bad as the 66 right?

 

Mach 4's work good with a 62 but a 64 will probably run a little cooler. You don't need a HRVP to help you out any. You'll make just as much power with the stocker as long as your pump wire is tapped.
