Turbo BS Thread

because it should be fine for what i want out of it. And this will be my first experience with turbos so i didn't think id go all out with a pricey fancy turbo first go. Not an a particular budget or anything but i really dont know if its worth spending so much more on a relatively low power build. Im gona be away from my truck out of province for work till the winter and wanted to start a parts list/ordering for when i get back.

 

well, get a smaller one.

like so: https://www.cxracing.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=95_614&product_id=3418

Would spool quite fast really.

 

or this guy: https://www.cxracing.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=95_614&product_id=3415

Both would respond and flow very different and deliever very different power. second one is larger of course so..all depends on what you want.

Edit: They have actually changed the turbo with the kit now. Its smaller then the one posted above. Not a bad match really. The first one i posted would be much faster though.

 

bookmarked. thanks. aem fic6 will be dealing with the fuel/ignition btw.

 

I found this pic posted on t4r.org:

 

I have done the rear o2 sensor mod where solder a resister does that mean that i can take out the cat or do i need to replace it if its bad

 

You should be able to ditch the cat.

 

Sounds good

 

What size resistor did you use @Jstand

 

What mufflers are you guys running? I have a dyomax but I don't like the sound. Sounds too much like a ricer...Looking for something more quiet.

 

I'm running a flowmaster super 44 i like it. Its got a deep sound and actually I posted a video testing the turbo out on this thread pg. 122

 

There is a write up i think on that but i can find it still looking or at least a couple of pics

 

I'm using a Gibson Superflow 788500. It's pretty much the quietest straight through muffler there is. I barely notice a difference in sound from stock inside the cab. I used 2.5" mandrels for the piping. It made my truck rev much smoother

 

Mandrel bends FTW.

 

Clearly a different engine, mine versus yours. I have a vibrant ultra quiet resonator @3.5" before a 3.5" resonated Aeroturbine muffler. It literally sounds like an exotic engine/boxer engine. In part to the unequal length headers.

@MadTaco461 can attest.

 

magnaflow!

Blackwidow sounds good too.

 

An issue that I'm noticing now is through the range of RPM to 5000 there seems to be drops of power or hesitation hopefully not the fuel pump I'll be put the fuel gauge so that I can see through the windshield here pretty soon to check pressure if it drops but I can't think of what it could be

 

I think I want to try black widow.... what did the mandrel bends do to improve rev

 

You have the larger fuel pump installed? If so, which size? Cannot remember.

Do you have an AFR gauge? What is the AFR during that drop off?

 

I got the DW200 which is 255lph and I still have the narrowband
