BadWagon Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 WTF did you do to that truck? My stock 01 maxes at 24psi Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 oh you have a hx351ve?, sweet. and your using a waste gate actuator to change the veins?, great minds think alike. at full boost on that turbo the SR would be fine........ with ARP head studs, and connecting rod bolts, main bolts, a stand alone, a little head work, big injectors and a good dyno tune with dual knock sensors and wideband. in other words over kill. careful. and on that T fitting you should be able to just put a pair of vice grips on it and twist. but remember you need to replace it or move it somewhere else, the other one is not enough, you need both.

We toyed with using a spring instead but others have used the WG with great resultsAs for full boost. . Im completely ok blowing this motor up as long as it does so in a rebuildable fashion lol Yeah I can keep the portion of that vent that faces forward, but that rearward bung has gotta go...

Can you put an L fitting in instead? Quote Link to comment
BadWagon Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 That's what I will be trying?.. Anyone have insight on the motor mount question? Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Can you put an L fitting in instead? yea you could even just plug the whole vent hole, as long as you weld another bung around that general area. it needs the vent at high rpm. Quote Link to comment
Hermistonkilla Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 WTF did you do to that truck? My stock 01 maxes at 24PSI You has cummins?? :thumbup: your turbo can handle a lot more then 24psi........ hx's & hy's can easily handle into the high 30's low 40's there are few guys who have even gotten them into the 50's on the cummins forum. They wont last long with that much though Quote Link to comment
BadWagon Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well minus the exhaust and intake elbow its bone stock (and reliable) Quote Link to comment
Hermistonkilla Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am just about to turn 200k on my truck and It still has lots of get up in it. I will more then likely need a new turbo in the next 10-20k though...... :confused: from reading your thread, your car knowledge is far superior then mine..... I just didn't want you to think these turbos can be used all out on a 4cyl and the engine would be fine. Then I read your ok with it blowing as long as you can rebuild it somewhat!! lol Quote Link to comment
BadWagon Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Oh ya no worries man! I look forward to building this... grenading it... towing it home.. rebuilding it... grenading it.. towing it home rinse and repeat! "When in doubt, flat out" 1 Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I am ALMOST hoping it wont fit under the hood :devil: Nah - get it to fit under there. It's a better "surprise" for everyone if they don't expect anything. You just throw down and they say "WTF". Then they can't wait for you to open the hood. I get this all the time with the MX520 and the 411 Goon, Misinformation. Quote Link to comment
