Custom tune help

Smokin 6.0 · Oct 10, 2015

I have a 2002 F-250. Mods in my signature. Put a HX50 non-wastegated 68mm charger on my truck with stock injectors I will be getting 300/200's in a few months. Right now the truck takes forever to spool and gets pretty hot trying. Looking for someone to write me a single tune for.mh Hydra to help it spool up until I get my Injectors. Thanks for any help !

Subscribed. I know tuners can detune injectors, not sure about detuning a turbo.

E99 F350/zf6/guages/arp/comp/stellite/ billet wheel/ bellowed... Need more fuel and more air.

I just need low RPM fueling to help light it and then I guess the most fueling j can get out of stock sticks

I was thinking the same thing. Have the fuel tapper off as the boost comes up or something.

Who's tunes are you running right now? Do you know who's injectors you're going with?

I'd get with the tuner who works closest with your injector maker and start building that relationship.

Can really detune a turbo.
For the bigger turbo, you need more fuel. Or if you could get a smaller housing to run until the bigger injectors go in.

What are the specs on that turbo?

Smokin 6.0 · Oct 11, 2015

There just the regular Hydra tunes you get off there website. Don't have custom tunes yet. I'm not sure who's Injectors I'm gunna go with ye t

PABowhunter · Oct 11, 2015

As stated already, you're gonna need more fuel to spool that turbo properly. Custom tunes should help you a little in the meantime. Exhaust housings are relatively cheap and might be a good idea for now. Do you know what's on it now?

I'd give Jonathan at Dyno Proven a call. He can set you up with everything you need.

Problem is finding a HX50 housing smaller that's T4. Most are T3 its a 1.15 exhaust housing

PAbowhunter have you ever dyno'd your truck ? Was curious what numbers you were putting down. I considered 250/100's or 250/200's also

PABowhunter · Oct 11, 2015

I haven't had it on the Dyno yet. Been taking it easy for the past year with a stock trans and BTS valve body. I'm getting a full BTS this winter. It should be a 500+ hp truck though.

I've talked with Jonathan about the 200 nozzles an he really likes tuning for them. Planning on sending my injectors down to him when I do the trans and have him put some nozzles on for me.

There's quite a few old threads talking about the benefits of 200% nozzles. I'm anxious to find out first hand.

Smokin 6.0 · Oct 11, 2015

Yea I was thinking either 250/200's or 300/200's alot of guys say that there's really on 20-40hp difference I'm not sure

PABowhunter · Oct 11, 2015

200% nozzle can do everything the 100% does but quicker. This translates into quicker spooling turbo and lower egts.

And window a block quicker. LOL

All in the tuning. But yea, that's a good possibility, lol.

I never had 250/200 but I went from 250/100 to 300/200 and saw a lot more then a 30 or 40 hp gain not saying that isn't true but that is my experience
