Ok here goes.....

I am taking a day off of work too put in my DDT tranny, and pierce my comp wire (FINALLY!! )

Question is will my dinky little hy-35 cool the comp?? I do plan on throwing in some coal sticks in the future (mach 3 or 4), and am wondering which turbo should i be planning on buying? Will an HX40 be sufficient or am i gonna have too hit up the b-1's?

Another question for you guys is i do already have a comp, but i can get my hands on a TST PM3 with remote for dirt cheap. Would it be worth it for me too sell my comp, and get this PM3?? Because I know i can get an EZ and the PM3 for about the same price as i can sell my comp for.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Will a B-1-2 work with this setup?

 

It will work...but still get hot. Give you maybe 8-10 sec at WOT before you have to back out of the throttle (hitting 1500*). Anything bigger spools very slowly on an auto. Too slow for me, anyway.

HX-40 won't do it for you, IMO....and the B1-2 on a Comp and Mach 4's will put you over 50 PSI boost, causing possible head gasket problems....as the B-1 line is not wastegated.

Personally, I prefer the TST to the Comp. But I believe the Comp is comparible performance to the EZ stacked on a TST PM3. If I had a Comp that worked well...I would probably stay with it.

i see you have almost the exact set-up i want too run, how does the KSB-1 hold up for egt's?? And what do you have your external WG set at?

as for head gasket problems...whats the best route there?? a marine copper gasket with studs?

 

The B-1-2 gives better cooling...I was at 400 HP when I got mine. W.G. set at 45 psi. Over that, all B-1's get hot and gain no HP, IMO.
I can hit 1500* in about 8 sec w/o the water injection.
O-ringed Head and studs is all you need. Maybe just studs...if staying with single turbo and 50 psi boost +/-.

I got the quick spool from Rip and have the drag comp and mach 4's. It is a stick, but the turbo didnt spool anywhere close to what my hx35 did. Towing anything and I had to back out. I finally bit the bullet and bought some twins. IMO, only way to go with that much fuel. The single was way to laggy. On the dyno with the single I hit 438 hp. With the twins I hit 508 with no difference in fuel. It just burned better. I have head studs and did not fire ring the head. I hit 58 psi of boost. I should be good with this setup. If you are putting this much money in your truck, may as well just do it right.

 

Have you thought about the HT turbos. Ther're compairable to the b series and have a nice price tag.

 

where can i get an HT turbo?

 

htturbo.com, A new vender here. They are awsome people to work with and build very high quality turbos for a decent price. My HTB2 will be here monday .
