I only plan on doing a single turbo. I planned on getting some heads studs with the manifold just never mentioned it.

 

How much fuel you got? Are you leaving smoke trails? Is your current turbo cleaning up the smoke or its just nasty black clouds? 12V are hard to put a turbo size to depending on how the truck is set-up. How much boost are you currently pulling and egt's? My reasons I would rather put the similar amount of money into a liquid cooled garrett that will out spool and still flow mega air flow. S300 are pricey.

 

435's, full cut dv's, 100 plate and common pump mods. No my turbo does not clean up at all, I can leave a thick black smoke trail as long as I want when i'm on the throttle. I have an boost elbow that gets around 32lb's of boost. The egt's I can spin the gauge well past 1600 if I don't pay attention.

 

i still would recommend the the 63/71/13, just because as a single it should spool really well, and the egts will be alot lower, and it will flow alot better. The stocker aint made to be boosted too much more then what you are right now, and 1600* egts are really bad if sustained for more then 2 or 3 second bursts. With the 62/71/13, your egts shouldnt go over 1250 or 1300* at wot, it will make a ton more power, flow ALOT better, and your drive pressure will drop alot, so it should be a all around better turbo even with all that fuel.

 

Thanks for your help.Ken

 

what kinda of converter you running? Is this with a stock transmission? The suggestion of S300 sounds turbo sounds sweet. I would run the 3782-stage 3. It will spool fast and flow air to get to the mid 400-450rwhp range. I'm supprised that your only pulling 32 psi. I would see if you tweak your current wastegate. I would like to see if you can clear or start to clear the smoke at 37psi. If you can, go a garrett 3782-2. You want more mid range right or top end? Sorry for all the questions, I would like to fine tune your ride first. I've pushed the stock turbo to 37psi on my 02, of course thats a few days ago. If your bucks down, the holset 35/40 turbo is a great next up turbo. 12v are difficult to peg, unless you drive them abit and see what it wants.

 

I believe that i'm getting a triple lock convertor. Not really sure about what dusty and I agreed apon. Yes trans in the truck is still stock. As for the boost, it will spike up around 35-37 but come back down to 32ish. It used to go to 44-45lbs when I pinched the wastegate line but I thought that was too much so I bought an boost elbow to fix that.

 

A 62 will no where near clean up the smoke or keep your truck cool with that much fuel. Just in case you were expecting it too. Now with 191's it might be better. But the laser cuts are gonna be hot and smokey even with a 62mm or 64mm charger.

If you are going twins later, just go ahead and do it now.

 

I'm not really concerned about the smoke. Now the egt's are a different story. I have no plans on doing twins right now.

 

I notice alot of people on here bragging up HTTs 13ss turbos and not having one of their own.

 

BUMP FOR YA

 

You have lots of choices, all of them good in regards to turbos. If want less egt's and more top end you could bigger on the turbine exhaust housing. You could even try the garrett 4088R but you need to get an adapter to fit your manifold or buy a exhaust manifold with the T04 flange from ATS, and forget the adapter. With that turbo you still have some room to grow. Its abit more money than the S300, but its bigger air flow and a ball bearing turbo that will out spool the S300 of a similar size. 1600 deg's its too bad, as long its brief and you limit it too several seconds. The holset 35 turbine/40 compressor is a cheap upgrade too. You could find one new for around the $600 mark. I picked up a two brand new HX-40 for $300, both have the liquid cooled bearing housing. Its isn't not as whizzy as the S300 but its more than grand cheaper. If you have a loose (stock) converter, you have a hard time seeing the difference. You might want to save some $$$ for a decent transmission.

 

Depending on the amount of EGT control you are looking for, Im afraid you will be dissapointed unless you back off the fuel.

My cousins 97 with laser cuts, 370's,#0 plate,17* timing, 4k and a SPS62 would peg the gauge fast. It ran good, but EGT's were still crazy high. Honestly there arent a lot of charger configurations that will keep laser cuts cool, but I have heard some good stuff about a few of the 62 and 64mm chargers. Let us know what you decide on

 

I was'nt tootin my own horn I just know from experience that they are rather disappointing to say the least.I have nothing against HTT they are a great company and have great turbos (I have one) but I have personally tested the 64/65/12,64/65/13ss and the 64/71/14 back to back to back on the same truck in a 2 week time frame and guess which one I kept.

 

Very interested in the garett turbo. Could you get me a link or some for info on it. Thanks Ken
