Ok, so I know some of you have tried nearly every combo under the sun, so I come for advice.
I have 1990 VE 12v, 5spd. It has head studs, 60# springs, 4kgsp, moded fuel pin, and turned up to just before run away. Timed to the head. Stock sticks.
It currently has an HX35 12cm, and with the wastegate blocked it will hit 50psi + with the wastgate set for 35psi it will still hit 1600+ in a short pull.
My original plan was to run the hx as is with an external gate over a GT4294, it has a 1.32hot side. Maybe upgrade to a 60mm 6 blade on the HX.
Now an S366 has fallen in my lap it has a divided T4 1.10 (I'm 90% sure on the 1.10) and iirc BD's twins run a s357 over an s366?
So here is what I do with the truck, go 4x4ing, camping, sometimes pull friends race car trailers, make garbage runs, might go look at going to some local pulls this year (not even looking to compete, just to try it out) it is not my DD, just a toy. I am looking to get 500 - 550hp out of it eventually, nothing more or I think I will be into some serious drive train upgrades. I would guess at this point it is a really hot 230hp - 250hp.
So the question is for my goal is the s366 as a primary enough? I'm thinking of running it in a twin setup with the hx-35 and an external gate till I upgrade the sticks, and then grow from there, half the fun for me is just tinkering on this thing, so if I need to fab up a new hot pipe, and downpipe in a couple months so be it.
Cliff notes:
Want: 500 -550hp
Have: 12V VE pump, 5spd, 230 - 250hp, gauges: boost, dp, egt, fuel press.
Twins options:
hx35.12 over S366
hx35.12 with 60mm compressor, over s366
hx35.12 over GT4294
hx35.12 with 60mm compressor, over GT4294
Clear as mud? :bang
