[QUOTE="Big Red Bus, post: 1540928, member: 32265"] hey there, long time stalker of the site first time poster. So ill just get into it feb. 2019 I picked up a pretty clean 02 Excursion to replace a 09 burb that wasn't cutting it for pulling my TT, had some issues but nothing I couldn't fix in the driveway before camping season. fixed the little issues and installed f250 leafs and hellwig sway bar in the rear. I was worried after the first trip to the black hills that I was having high egt's so I installed dual pyros and a boost guage. well next camping trip I found out that the egts would hover around 850ish-1000ish on flat land and in hills I could smack 1500 in seconds, would start to climb and then take off when it down shifted, passenger side runs about 150-200 degrees hotter all the time. I checked boost leaks and fixed a lot before I even started towing with it. rebuilt turbo and installed WW with rebuild makes 22-23 psi boost on ts live wire guage little, a lil less on analog. so I got tired of feathering the thing to keep it out of 1500 egts when ever I got on it, and its tired at 270K so I found a good core early 01 with forged rods and decided im gonna spend some coin and build up a new motor and buy a new trans to go with it and swap them one weekend this coming summer. so I guess after that long break down I have been trying to build a parts list for it. I'm gonna stud everything but maybe the rods. Other parts i'm thinking of getting is: --205/30 or 80 sticks --new hpop, probably adrenaline --s366sxe with .91 housing to still be pretty responsive but I cant find info on if its laggy other then a couple posts but no one can agree on it, I have heard both ways --full exhaust with muffler as I have 4 kids in it most of the time --new cam as original number 8 exhaust roller took it out- open to options on this also found stage 2 that wasn't a bad price. --910 valve springs unless anyone thinks they are gonna be an issue with boost- as I don't know what kinda boost this will make real world --S&B CAI --stage 2 sam wyse trans as I don't wanna rebuild a trans within a year of the swap --6.0 cooler to go with it --php hydra --regulated return fuel kit --build my own HPX as from what I have read it doesn't work with the t4 style Im sure there is more but I can't think of it right now, any suggestions I am open to. Oh and this will mostly going to be a towing vehicle but I still wanna give my brother in law a run for his money in his cummins. sorry for the long post but any info/help would be great thanks [/QUOTE]
