Well.... Maybe the 57mm. LOL

Just get twin s360's already... spool up will still be quicker then stock and flow what your big turbo does...

No because it's not a 444ci motor spooling them anymore. Now it's like having 2 222ci motors. I have to size for a 3.7L motor that only revs to 4,000 rpm. I know from experience that a 2.8l diesel turning 5,000 rpm has a good bit of lag spooling a Garrett t3/t4.

You know what would be cool? A pair of 51mm turbos compounded with a pair of 71mm turbos!! Lol!

Sounds.....familiar lol. This is a great project, always looking forward to more updates!

I know it has to split the cubes. But wont the larg amount of fuel your going to push through it still need the top end flow compared to your big turbo?? 6.4 turbos off each bank...lol

This is was done on a 6.4 but you get the idea.

vanderchevy18 · Dec 30, 2013

Oh nice. Yeah that's kinda the plan. Eventually I would like a compounded parallel setup. Obviously not right now though. I just need to get it running first. April is fast approaching.

I would really like to sell me s482 fmw to pay for the new turbos. I figure $1,800 for an almost bran spanking new turbo is better than $2,200 for a new one.

I would tap those oil galleys and use a npt plug. Never have to worry about blowing a plug again

good advice, slicks and oil dont mix

Yeah I think the Power Service funny car made that very evident at TS this past year.

They're not external. It's behind the rear cover plate.

Granted you won't be dumping oil on the track, but why not fix it so you're not dumping oil back into the motor? You have perfect access to it right now and it will save you a lot of time and headache than waiting to fix it again when you have a problem once its up and running. A project like this sucks a lot of time - why make it worse in the long run for saving a couple of minutes short term?

Exactly, and it would be a shame to lose oil pressure and wipe the motor out.

It looks like you removed two things - does that mean that you are going to be adding another thing that can be bought off the shelf at many agricultural tractor dealerships?

Either injection system?

I removed the wiring for the fuel bowl heater, IAH relay, water in fuel sensor, ebpv pedestal plug, ebp sensor, and relocated the GPR and starter solenoid. Now it's just the bare minimum wiring needed.

No Jason I'm going as far as possible with this system first. Besides, the 3,000 lb diet will be more than enough of an improvement over my previous times. Even if I stayed at 600hp. The boost in HP from those agricultural parts may actually cause poo to come out if I'm not aclaimated first. LOL
