to much fuel for a 35/ht3b!!

What I want to know is.....

If that's what the turbine housing/wheel looks like..... how bout them aluminum pistons???

:huh::

WELL back on topic... dave isnt removing the head. the guy is just gonna sweat it out and see what happens:badidea:. Dave if you want to chime in and let these folks know about your setups.

on topic...

the problem with the guy's setup is those trash full cut DV's... lots of late fuel = lots of heat in the exhaust stream = cooked turbine wheel
 
wow... iam gone for a day and this happens...

Now to answer the original asked question by DTanklage. Why so conservative? I think it was already answered, and like I said originally " I recommend this for daily drivers and people that tow for a living... Just as a side note, not long back I did a twin setup on a common rail that resulted a total of 45psi max boost(tuner regulated) I personally though it was low boost, however the owner couldn't have been more happy when he called me afterward while he was pulling 3 pickups on his 53' 5th wheel at 80mph over a grade, and was not bothered by high egts and was a realiable truck even without studs.

DTanklage, dont take this the wrong way but, I dont know what your setup is and would be curious if you pull trailers. Making 500hp with a single charger lets say a sps or a ps62 is possible. Now put a trailer behind that 500hp truck with a 62 turbo and your gonna realize that in each gear you will have to lift your foot off the throttle much SOONER due to the fact of the heat you will be making...in other words that truck with ps62 (in my book) makes an unreal 500hp (for tow rigs) since you cant use all that power on the street due to excessive heat. Now if we play a similar scenario with person making 500hp with a twin setup, EGT's should never be an issue at that level. The only reason they would be lifting there foot off the accelerator while pulling would be to keep from beaking dive line parts or such.

Iam not trying to educate you since i know you are always trying new turbos and have plenty experience with them, I am just trying to educate the general public that think they can take a small set of twins and throw lots of fuel at them cause it don't mater since they now have "twin turbos" Now getting back to your question... If you were building and selling sets of twins for people don't you think it would be a good idea to be:
Fair
Reasonable
Honest
to tell people their limits of what your selling them. If they have more in mind you need to tell them its time they look at a larger setup. "Turbojoe" knows the case were talking about here. He knows the customer, and know that the customer was given advice he needs to upgrade his top charger.
Dont get me wrong there are plenty of us that can run even more fuel on this same setup and know the limits and when to let off the throttle.
 
turbojoe, the setup will probably be going back on today as soon as iam done with his new hotpipe.. His new set will be 66/74/14 over a our hybrid HT3b that has a compressor wheel of around 85mm.. this should be more than enough for his fuel..:hehe:
 
*bdh*


I'd tell myself the same thing if I couldn't tune a 12V beyond that ever elusive 400hp threshold. :doh:

really? Andy just became a member of the 600rwhp club today :rockwoot:

.......eat it

I like the sound of a 85mm ht3b! I need that upgrade on mine too!
 
well you need to keep in mind a 215 pump fuels much more than a 160pump(if thats what you have) Also it was done in Colorado where the air gets thin which make trucks run less boost and hotter. Also whats your max egt? if your maxing out at 1400* (which you probably are)than you should be safe.. I dont know the what temps this truck was running but i know the melting point on cast iron is around 17-1800* which was enough to burn his wastegate hole to a oval.

The melting point of cast is 2060 to 2200. If it was 1700, 1800 I would have already melted two chargers.
