KSB1B (KSB1-2) ----------------- 400
KSB1 (KSB1-1) -------------------450
B1B (B1-2) ---------------------- 425
B1 (B1-1)------------------------ 475+

With all due respect to Rod, neither Jack nor Ken have any idea where this is coming from regarding a KSB1 being rated higher hp than B1-2. Who knows what is said behind closed doors but they say nothing has been changed on either unit.

Sometimes the internet can provide too much info... certainly spreads questionable info quickly

I've made 400RWHP on My 98 12v. but that only lasted about 12k miles before it broke.

With the stage 3 kit... You can easily machine the flange if you have access to a lathe (metal working lathe). I've done several and it only takes a few minutes. Your only opening the diameter of a counterbore by .125". Pretty easy, just have to get over the fear of doing something bad...

What flange are you talking about the one of the hot side of the turbo? I know where a metal working shop is so thats no big deal.

The flange that needs to be machined is on the compressor (intake) side of the turbo. It is behind the pinwheel which has a "reverse" taper to it. The new pinwheel is a larger diameter and thus needs the clearance counterbore in the mounting flange to be bigger in diameter. I didn't even pull the entire turbo off of the truck. I just removed the center section from the rear section via the 4 bolts that hold it all together. Pull the oil lines and it'll fall off in your hands. Remove the compressor housing via the giant snap ring the front section will come off. The pinwheel is bolted on by a left handed nut (may be 12 point). Take that nut off and remove the pinwheel. Leave the shaft and turbine on as is. Tape off the oil inlet/outlet holes and mount the center section in the lathe by the outside diameter. True the face with an indicator and then machine it. Put it back together on the bench. Install turbo and you'll probably have to adjust the elbow for max boost. I run mine to 44-46 psi...

Call Paul at HTT and if you give him a card number, he'll send it that day and when you return yours to him he will credit your account properly. Very good guy! Stage III is the way.

Got Smoke?

Yeah but its much cheaper when you have a HX40 Compressor housing and can actually take yours off and send it to him!

Can't wait till I will actually *NEED* to send it to him for EGT's....alas I need to get DD before I can get any more motor!

That run Tom Meers made was with a Piers HX-40/16 Turbo.

I would like to recommend Mike Wood @ Scheid Diesel
(Effingham) if you are looking to upgrade your stock HX-35
for maximum H.P. Mike has been with Scheid Diesel for over
20 years and was the primary person responsible for all
the R&D on their street twin turbo system and for many
of the single chargers used on some of the "daily driver
street diesel" pulling trucks. If you are interested his toll
free number is: 1-800-669-1934.

Now that I think about it......John's right....I was there too!

Got Smoke?

What do they offer John? I've never heard of Scheid offering any mod's to a stock HX-35......usually whenever you hear of scheid its always related to some awsome puller!

You hear time and time again of HTT mod'n stock 35's.

I have a modified Sheid Diesel HX-35. It is on my truck right now and I can support BDIIIs and an EZ easily. Low end spool up is much increased. I have never tried to dyno, so I don't have numbers for that. I have been pleased with the turbo. My first intension was to use this turbo in their twin setup later, but I don't think that is the right thing for me anymore. I have now bought a KSB1-2 and decided to stay with one turbo with the same mods. Scheid is awesome to deal with though. I live in West Lafayette, IN and can go and talk with Kent on a daily basis-until they kick me out.
Hope this helps,
Kess

I just hopped off the dyno myself...

But down everywhere from 325RWHP, to 446RWHP on a completely stock HX-35/12.

Did lots of tuning, different combo's. Made less HP w/o an airfilter.

If my injection pump wasn't dying, I know I would have made more HP. I only got a few good readings over 2,400RPM because the truck would stutter, backfire, and miss.

Mark:

I believe Kess answered most of what you were asking
on Scheid's Modifications to the HX-35. There is several
"options" available and Mike Wood can give you the exact
breakdown depending on what you want. He also has
other single turbochargers that work very well for daily
driving. Thanks for your input Kess!

I was told it was a stock 35, and a stock fuel system. Plus it was 2 years ago? Whoops, I made a mistake.
