I always wondered about that van setup. Can you make a T3 up-pipe adapter so you can run a normal turbo? What do the Hummer guys do for a better puffer?
Because the guy who builds this controller can control other VGTs with it, I looked for a T3 housing for the Garrett turbo from the Dmax, but was unable to find anything. I figured that it's a similar sized engine with similar power output at similar RPM. Should be a good fit.
^^^I thought about YOU when I saw this controller!
"Leroy needs to get with this guy and get us a 6.5 specific version worked out and then get a group buy going!"
I didnt know they produced too much drive pressure. I knew a few guys had them installed with either a manual control or no control at all. Seemed to me that the down side was not being able to adjust it as it was designed.
The NV is a great transmission with just one flaw. It won't shift itself! I grew up on a farm where everything had a manual trans. I have a CDL and plenty of miles with my hand on a shifter. When I find the right Saturn Sky Redline, it will have a 5spd. That said, if this pickup had a manual...
I didn't know there were guys who built them. I'm also a cheap ebay whore, so I'm always trying to get a $10 item for $1... Do guys like that let you swap a housing or a wheel to get it just right? Or are you buying new stuff for that kind of testing?
I want a batmowheel. Just because it's fun to say! Batmowheel...
But seriously, I kind of thought the problem was more than just the compressor wheel. They had a complete turbo that was supposed to be based on the HX40, then it went away and they offered the Super 8, now the Hurricane 7...
Very interesting about the 4L80E problems. I hadn't heard about this before. Are there any fixes for the clutch issue? I'm sure there are better input shafts. That trans has a good rep, at least as a TH400.
Playing the Holset parts change-o game can be expensive! But it might be the best way to find the right combo of parts. A VGT controller might be cheaper...
I don't mind a little haze on tip in or some light smoke at full power, but the buck-tooth hillbillys who engulf 4 lanes with wasted diesel every time they touch the throttle is what makes people drive a prius. They think it makes them look 'cool', but really they just look like pixar's Mater...
I think it's a TD06E (or maybe that's an H on the end). It's the turbo that came in the Banks 6.9/7.3 kit. There were two different ones, mine is the wastegated version. No one seemed to have an opinion on it before. I got it pretty cheap, so I figured it was worth a try.
I really think...
So I know that Heath can be all over the place sometimes with the parts they sell. Offering one thing and then dropping it in favor of something else or just forgetting about it all together. But I do think that they try to offer good stuff to us for an engine that everybody else has forgotten...
What is my Heath tune going to do with the ATT? Is it going to smoke real bad? (I HATE 'rolling coal'. Don't even get me started on that topic) My crossover pipe is heat wrapped so it shouldn't cool off as much as others. Maybe it'll help light that turbo sooner?
On the upside, I thought...
I've pulled 1100 gallons of fertilizer (11lb/gal) in a nurse trailer with a bone stock 94 CCLB 6.5. Speeds were low due to the trailer having no brakes, but with that in mind, I thought my pickup with tune and exhaust would drag that little fiber trailer on its side and not sweat! I spent most...
Nope, I still have them. Truth is, I haven't been home to get the pics I promised months ago! It's sad, I know. I posted the stuff expecting to be home in a week or two and it's been almost 5 months! Maybe in the next few weeks I'll make it happen.
I just couldn't... That pickup is loved, just like my diesel. But I know what you're saying. It is, however, time to get the 334 into that Z71 and see what it will do! Where can I buy some time?
