Let's talk S465

If you don't have a shroud to actually pull the air across the radiator are they really effective?

I bought them at advanced auto. They had one on the shelf at each store so i did half to go to two different stores that day but i think O'riley and Auto-zone also carry flexalite fans. I cant remember the model number but the book listed the number for a cummins. They come with pushlok fittings and springs that mount through the radiator. I have had them for 3 years with no problems at all except for the original wiring. With my 12v, i never even ran them unless i was hooked to a sled or pulling a trailer loaded through a town. Towing out on the road i didnt even need them.

Can anybody tell me where to get a 5" to 4" reducer with either a 45* or 90* bend in it so I can put a air filter on my truck for the few times I want to drive it up and down the street.

I am currently using a rubber fernco style coupler for 4" terra cotta to 4" PVC with ends up with basically a 5" to 4 1/2" reducer to my 4" intake pipe...but the rubber is soft and after every pull with it the connection at the turbo gets weaker as it melts. my clamp has almost melted all the way through it now.

im going to try this one now, the fernco i have now cost me $12 so this isnt too much more

Lowes did not have one with a 45 or 90 degree bend I needed to clear the alternator.:kick:

Well that's kinda what I figured would happen if I ran those rubber ones from Lowe's pulling. However, I just run w/o a filter on the track. I had a points series pull this past Monday night that I had to miss because I haven't acquired a new tow rig yet after selling mine saturday, and I was just trying to get an air filter on it to drive it to the pull. Wasn't able to do that either.:bang
 
I am gonna have to get something from Intake hoses to. I finally got my S400 on my '06 last night and its fighting us the whole way. Maybe the size of it is the problem, but its alot more cramped in there than the other pictures that has been posted.
I think we need a group buy from Intakehoses.com sems we all need something from them.

Oops, I missed the T6 part... is 1.32 as small as it can go?

Their is a 1.26 available...but not cheap. Not sure its worth it. Best thing is do the 91mm turbine with the 1.32A/R. That is what alot of the local guys are swapping to now.

i dont use a filter either, but we are required to have air shut-offs so I needed a way to connect the pipe to the turbo for my shut off.
 
yeah gas on it said:
i hope your right about the 465 (63.5) not being enough air cause i decided to go with the 75mm (74.675) comp inducer 100.076 comp exducer and a 95.707 turbine inducer. it came with a 1.32 a/r and im having trouble lighting the turbo on the line and keeping it lit. i have bumped the timing up and increased fuel with no luck. its just a dog but when it lights look out. i pulled the exaust housing thinking of dropping the a/r down to 1.0 or less. not sure if it will cure the problem . its that or drop back to the 64mm so i can run the 2.6 class. right now im runnin open. what a/r u runnin?

as far as clippin a 75mm down i think u would b better off with a smaller wheel . its cheaper no clipp work or custom cover and more efficient . the very edge of the wheels produce the best airflow clipp them off and then cover the edge with a cover :bang. i know people do it and it does work im not arguing that just my $.02

yeah the cam is from terry in ohio

You can just run the stock 2.6" cover on the 75mm wheel unit. With the rules the way they are at most places.....its measured inlet instead of tip to tip.

No, what he is saying is that you can machine the backside of a 2.6" cover to fit your 75mm wheel. That way the cover still measures 2.6 for the rules, but the wheel is much larger than that.

Correct my buddy is using the 80mm wheel with the 2.6 cover that we had made and wow, it kicks ass...lol
 
Be careful doing that. Scheid rules do not allow it. TS rules didn't either. Nobody protested it.
 
Most of the turbos we are doing now have the wheel into the inducer .125.
