'76mm Tow power-X ???

B585Ford · Nov 16, 2013

Thanks Wayne. I was planning to do a drop in 59 VGT with a BB 76....guess that idea is shot. I get what you, JD, and some of the others are saying with the HP Juniors, but I can't a BB turbo out of my head. I am looking forward to the results of the Holder 73.

Ball bearing is fantastic, I just couldn't personally justify the price gap for nearly equal performance. It sounds like you want exactly what the tow-x kit is. it's a great setup, and I'm sure you'll love it if you go that route. I do get the reliability, and improved response aspects though... as well as sound

It is also more difficult to work on due to more, larger parts under the hood.

Adding that casting really makes it difficult to pull turbos.

You nailed on the head as to why I have always dreamed of a BB turbo....especially since I have a gear jammer and have a hot shot business on the side....not to mention turbo whistle is the ultimate aphrodisiac LOLLOL

That ain't no joke...even with the cab off its a pain getting them stabbed and the bolts started. I can't imagine doing it cab on

Well if I go that route, hopefully they will never need removed....after all you went through with cracked blocks, I am sure you could do it in your sleep now.

I put the entire High Power Kit on cab on. Wastegating and all.

I may have said :wtf: a few times along the way.

That's pretty much exactly what I did on Erik's truck the night before DPC '12. Turbos blew at 4:30 in the afternoon. Swapped them cab-on, and had it rolling by about 1 the morning of DPC. It's not fun. knuckles were bleeding, forearms were itchy with firewall insulation, but it got done.

I totally know what you mean Wayne. I bet that was as fun as jerking off with a fist full of razor blades. :doh:

What exactly Is the difference in the tow power x vs the jr high power they are both 76mm. Is it sounds and efficiency due to the ball bearings?

SVTDiesel · Nov 17, 2013

I would like to know the same as Black Friday is coming. Thanks.

What kind of power are High Power's capable of? Any chance of a CCSB getting close to the 11's in 1/4 mile with them? On fuel only

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a TDI, wishing it was a Powerstroke

For those of you talking of swapping turbos can on screw that! LOL I have done it and is a royal PITA. If you have access to a lift I would lift the cab every time to do turbos. Much faster for me anyway.

:jammin: 60% Nozzles doing their job there!!!! That's pretty sweet man. I have no doubt that High Powers are capable of taking a ccsb into the 11's.

The precision 76 and stock housing 76 are quite a bit different. They use the same compressor wheel, but different housings, center section, and turbine.
