the wheel gds sells for an upgrade is based on the stock wheel with a larger inducer. I haven't looked into it but if the exducer doesn't need machined, the all you are getting is an upgraded inducer, which would effectively make it an HX35/40 hybrid. and if you read into my write up recently...

Just a suggestion, but I'm not sure heat coating the precups is the best idea. Looking at the original design of the precups in the heads, the fact they get hot is part of the way that the IDI works. By design, once they get hot, they tend to hold heat pretty well, which has it's drawbacks yes...

Nozzles are mounted in my custom air plenum. 625ml/min and 375ml/min nozzles. And I sourced all my parts from Ebay. Sounds cheap, I know, but if you search it right, you can find quality parts for a good price. I ran it up to 28psi yesterday without issues. Doesn't leak. Actually, all of the...

I don't know if it is warranted. To my knowledge, the connecting rods are forged, so pretty damn strong for a 6.5L. If they kick the bucket, it's because of something else wrong. Usually incorrect timing or dropping something into the piston or something. Regular maintenance and a proper setup...

Because it works so well, provides the same response as centermount, without the rear cylinders heat buildup, and fits in a better space lol

You could always do the manifolds like what leroy and I have lol made for a very nice improvement!

Like I said, I know of a 14cm housing machined for a a 76x64 turbine. It's the one I used. However, it was bolt in straight for me because it comes with a 3" V-band outlet. So for me it bolted exactly in where my old one did to my 3" downpipe. And I can say, it's nowhere near a restriction.

The QSV will only work with a twin scroll housing, so having a QSV butterfly when it's open is no different than the twin scroll housing. And the shaft doesn't really sit in the stream of flow for that reason. Also, the butterfly doesn't sit perpendicular to flow. The way it sits closed, is...

The BD unit I had was actually pretty compact of a package in stock location. I'd have to do some inner fender trimming if I were to mount one in the current location with my manifold setup.

It's definately creative but one of the issue I'm seeing is the overall package size. It would be very difficult to setup in our trucks and get to work properly. The next issue I see with it is flow. Will making that 90 tight bend hinder the flow potential to the point of negligible gains? Hard...

I will tell you, the results I had with mine were unreal. It was one of the best mods I had done my truck, and I am kicking myself everyday for getting rid of it. A big housing and mechanical VGT made wonders out of the ol 6 nickle. Add that to your fueling capability, and you wouldn't be touched

A blow would be a lot of bottom end stress IMO. A spool valve with a large 21cm housing would be a pretty good deal.

Yes, I realize that. It doesn't change what I said. A properly sized turbo can negate the puff limiter and create a broader torque band if you calibrate dynamic timing correctly.

I get what it does, but reducing black smoke also means reducing fuel charge. I know we are all trying to get away from excessive smoke but wouldn't the bit of extra heat help spool the turbocharger and increase your low rpm torque band. I guess to me a properly sized turbo would negate having a...

Why a puff limiter?

Haha same with me. I have the fittings. Am just too lazy to hook up my wastegate to my compressor housing haha like god forbid I go buy 12 inches of hose. I did peg 27psi out on my gauge with mine on the other day though.

Not really I guess what I would consider a true HX40. I would compare your turbo more to the HX35/40 hyrbid area. You are still using an HX35 turbine wheel with a 60mm inducer from a 40. So really you have like a 35/40 hybrid with a 16cm housing. But with the 16cm housing, you really have...

Oh yeah.

So I've stepped the turbo up again. I was running a HX35/40 turbo before. The specs on it were a 60x83 compressor wheel with a 70x60 turbine wheel in a 12cm housing. This was an amazing turbo for in town and great low end torque, but my one complaint with it had always been high cruising boost...
