turbo options on e99?

[TyCorr]

Got a eclb 7.3 that is boner stock. Want to add some 160/30s, a turbo, and wonder if the pedestal is the same footprint? How does it differ?

Am I stuck swapping to l99-03 stock crap to run a 38r or whatever or swapping to an aftermarket t4 mount?

Pretty much. That or switch to a T4.

Early 99 also has small plenums. You need plenums, pedestal, crossover and boots. I think the stock IC tubes will work OK.

And you'll need l99 up pipes

Uppies will interchange, I know this for a fact. They won't go all the way in, but there is plenty to get there and seal.

I would get some billowed uppies anyway.

I got a set of bellowed uppies that have less than a 1k miles on them I will make you a smokin deal on them. For a super duty if you go that route. I decided to go T4

Thanks man! Ive got everything but the spider and the plenums. I have three turbos to choose from. And van pieces enough to make a super 66 or whatever.

Spider can be fabbed. The pedestal is shorter and everyrhing is outta whack accordingly.

Kc turbos will be releasing a 66mm rebuildable ball bearing turbo for the e99 here in a month or so.
Those L99 spiders are spendy. I've sold 3 of them and I get about $100 each.

There is a market for E99 pedestal and spiders. OBS guys that want a intercooler.

Hi, Corey at CNC Fabrication told me he has a new line of ball bearing turbos including one for the vans. If you go to his site, you can contact him.

Yeah, he carries kc turbos. That's the one I was taking about.

For the money why not just turn the e99 turbo to a 66? If you're only doing the 160s.

 

[TyCorr]

Its on the table for sure... i just dont like stock turbos. It doesnt really matter though. Just a driver for the most part.

I'd put a ww2 and run it before I went to a d66. But the best would be to go the T4 route with an s362

 

[TyCorr]

I agree! For sure. I still don't have a shop or Id probably build a mount kit. If i went to the trouble to build a mount id probably feel inclined to run more fuel and a bigger charger.


I was hoping i had enough chit laying around to convert it to late 99 and throw this other 38r in there.

This guy has a spider and plenums for sale.

Your E99 spider is worth $200-$300. Enough to cover the new spider and plenums.

 

[co04cobra]

Dorman bellows, L99 pedastal, plenums, and syper. Buying all that wouldn't still be much money difference then building the E99 turbo.

 

[TyCorr]

That was actually my first thought... a super 66...i hear people complaining about the spoolup on brute 66 turbos though....

It shouldn't be to bad with a .84 housing. I have 1.0 housing. It's a little laggy but does well up top.

 

[Maryland dieselnick]

Wrapping your new bellowed up pipes will keep the heat in them and get rid of lag. I really like BD stainless.

 

[co04cobra]

Stick with the .84 housing for sure.
