ProSource is who I called. I guess we'll see. You have a 35/40 so you shouldn't have to do anything with the backing plate. Maybe the cover though, not sure. I have a H1C/H1E so my backing plate will have to be machined to accept the HX thrust collar.

I tried to reach BAE also with no luck. I've also tried Turbo Lab of America. They responded to my email but haven't gotten back with me after I told them what it needed. But that was only yesterday. Called Spoologic today and they said they had lodge load coming in later this week so they might...

Alright, Chris your gonna have to chime in here. I'm running into the same problems that DieselAmateur is with finding this stuff.

I'm sure the Banshee works great just always trying to figure out things without using electronics. I like simple.

Think a VGT would work with a double acting air cylinder to control it with boost on one side and drive pressure in the other side?

After reading both of Chris's threads I think I'm gonna try and update my turbo with a 10 blade turbine wheel and a 6 blade 60/86 compressor wheel. Hopefully it'll breath better and be able to handle a higher pressure ratio.

Mine is welded. I would like it to work with boost or drive pressure but still be able to open it wide for highway driving.

My QSV is only about 5/8" thick. My exhaust can be lifted that much without changing anything. I just couldn't figure out how to make it open for highway cruising.

My turbo is pretty much a 35/40. I have an H1C with the Gillette 60mm wheel and compressor cover. I cut the v-band flange off the cover so it would mate up with the 6.5 upper manifold. When I started planning on a compound setup I realized that the v-band flange would be useful. So I got...

I got it long before I had the 12cm2 housing. I have a 18 and a 21. I've never used the QSV. Couldn't figure out a way to control it that suited me.

I've got a brand new QSV setting on the shelf. Never could figure out how to control it to suit what I wanted it to do.

The vgts have already crossed my mind but I'm not willing to use any electronic controls. Looks like you built something like what I want to do. 18:1, cac, and more fuel. Basically all I want to build is a strong dependable engine the will daily drive and tow maybe a camper and make around...

That makes sense to me now. What about a HX30/HX40 combo? Wish I could get this compound thing out of my mind. But it does seem that if they were sized right it would work great. My turbo is great for towing with the 18cm2 housing but it's a smokey pig otherwise. With a smaller housing it's...

I just had a crazy thought. What if you used two of the same turbos except with different size exhaust housings in a compound setup? A tight housing on the secondary and a bigger housing on the primary.

I don't know if it makes any difference but my IP is actually a 5149 DB2 set to 4911 specs by Tim at Accurate Diesel. Not sure if there is any difference in the internal timing or not.

To me a DS4 isn't worth the problems with all the sensors that can go bad. I just like mechanical things better than electronic things. I do wish I had a better grasp on the DB2 and the timing on these engines.

I have never had a way to measure the timing. Basically just use the timing lever on the IP method. I have seen that the egt's are lower when it's more advanced. I have it backed off some right now just so the engine is a little quieter. Hopefully when I get the 18:1 engine together I'll be able...

It has crossed my mind to look and see what sizes those turbos are. I didn't know that they were VGT though.

I'm open to any suggestions. Where would you find something like that?

That's what I found out about the 14cm2. Haven't tried a 16cm2 but I have tried a 18cm2. It towed good once it got spooled up but with a manual it was just unenjoyable to drive. I was really hoping I could figure out which turbos would work out for what I'm doing. I don't think it's going to be...
