Race truck Vgt

[78f100]

I am collecting parts to finally start on my race truck. I plan on building my own turbo setup. I am wondering why no one, or at least no one I know of has used a like a 68 6.0 Vgt as a hp in a compound setup? They seem fairly cheap compared to the 6.4vgt's.
Am I just sleep deprived or is this a bad idea?

I'll be subbing. If you can get a way to make the vgt work correctly with the 6.4 computer I don't see why not

I think the vgt control would work as long as the signal is the same, and I think it is. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Im not sure it is. I think the guy who did a 6.4 compound set up on a 6.0 dealt with this

You know more about this stuff than I, but the one concern I would have (which could be fixed) is if the current to the actuator is the same for the 6.4 and 6.0. For example, if you want the vanes at 50%, your truck will send 0.3 amps to open the vanes to that level on a 6.4, but I am not sure if 50% would also be 0.3 amps on the 6.0. If we had EFI Live, you can see those tables and could adjust them to make it equal, but I am not sure if you can get them on MCC. I assume if you contact H&S they could probably do that for you. Hopefully, they are the same which would make life simple.

Sub'd also. Dmax guys run a s475 using their stock VGT charger all the time and put down some good power. I don't see why this wouldn't work either. Getting the VGT to cooperate with the 6.4 PCM again is going to be the trick.

You mean.....like this :thumbsup:

You would just have to figure out what the voltage is on a 6.0 i assume and tune from there.

He's is not talking about a stock vgt charger. Beech did that with a 6.4 with stock high pressure and a 480. He is talking about taking a milled modded 6.0 vgt and putting it on a 6.4 and compounding it.

Just food for thought elite has a 71mm vgt

I thought the biggest was a 66mm vgt or is that the insanity thats a 71?

 

[Powerstroked162]

Insanity is the 71vgt

Jared is right, the signals are different and seems like you'd be going backwards with that turbo anyway.

 

[3brorce]

Are there pictures or anyone running the insanity?

Turbine is also the other issue.

I ran a 71billet vgt in my compounds for a bit and it wasn't too bad. Wish I didn't hurt that turbo I'd like to see how it does esp as a single

what kind of turbo was it?

 

[Powerstroked162]

Dustin ran the elite insanity 71mm 6.4 high pressure VGT.

thanks, I didn't know a 71 was a option until now. Not sure I want one though.

 

[Dzchey21]

Are you worried about the Elite part of it?

The next option would be to run a duramax turbo, the uppipes are similar and could probably be modified to use one. i wouldnt run a 6.0 version if it were me.

well I don't like talking bad about anyone, and they did me a favor getting my replacement vgt out so soon. I have not been able to get any info on my core refund as of yet, and that was in October. I am a little sore about that.

 

[Dzchey21]

i understand

what about a vgt off an isx motor? just talkin out of my ass here.
