twins spoolup?

alright folks, now I've got a few questions. As far as the oil drain for the bottom turbo, do you have to put a bung in the pan or can you route the return some other way? If you do have to put the bung in the pan, will I have to pull the pan to get it done? Also what do most of you's do about the trans cooler on the side of he block?
 
i think there is an oil return on the side of the block. theres a freeze plug in it. (or what ever it is) i believe this is where most people put the oil return into.

Looks like your going to have some tunning to do at the track huh.

I think that's only on late 12valves and 24 valves, mine doesn't have it. I should have them on by then, now I'm gunna be scared of my Headgasket.:bang I should have 2 other trucks with me that I've done some work on BTW.
 
after looking at it some, would it be ok for me to just remove the trans heat exchanger, and just use the cooler in the front, or would it get to hot?
 
im not to familiar with 12v's or twins, just mine and what works for me but always willing to help out with what i can.

Hopefully it wolnt be to hard. Sounds good on bringing some friends.

You might just want to wastgate them down to 55 ish and it should be ok for a few trips down the track.
 
do you's think I'd be able to just Tee into the existing oil drain line?
 
if you could get by with half the oil drain capacity, the factory oil drains would be half the size (DON'T DO IT!)

I would tap into the pan. just punch it as high as is feasable. they way we used to do it on supercharger installs back in the day is take a punch and literally punch the pan and keep punching it larger and larger until you can tap it with an NPT tap. lots of grease on the tap, obviously. you can run an NPT to hose nipple. teflon tape or silicone on the threads. if you want you can tack the fitting to the pan to keep it from backing out.

or, you can forgoe the whole punch it out thing and drill it and just weld a bung, but you need to be concerned with the metal filings in the pan obviously. if you wash the pan out with diesel, the drain plug should catch anything that doesn't get flushed, but an additional LARGE magnet on the sump is good insurance.

personally, I would explore every option to NOT pull the pan! LOL
 
that's what I was told by someone else, except he said to punch it out big enough for a 1/2" npt fitting to fit, and then weld it in. Would this work or would it be easier to tap it?
 
either way is fine... punching it out and then welding the fitting will work great. that will totally minimize the chance of any debris in the pan
 
punch, tap, and thread it in with epoxy.

remove the heat exchanger and use a frame mount fan. go to summit and get the largest one you can find. when you run hose for it, use 300psi.
 
ok, another question. How much do you's think my stock headgasket could hold with a set of studs? I know it's going to go sooner or later, but say I want it to last for about 3 more months, how much do you's think I can give it?
 
Mine sees 45psi daily and sees 50psi with a different pump on and hasn't had any issues. Going on a year or two with studs only and I've sprayed some water on it. I've been running over 40psi for the last probably 5 or so years with no issues on my headgasket at all. But then again that ain't 50. I'd say with stud you should be alright at 50 for a little while.
 
my headgasket sees 50 lbs everyday for over a year now and all it has is a re-torque on the stock head bolts, it has seen as much as 56, but it blew a boot.
 
when I was on my stock charger it saw around 60 psi afew times. these just hae me worried as i've been told by a few to expect high 60's or low 70's n boost.

my head gasket held 60psi one time with studs and 2 retorques....completely accidental though
 
I heard the Hx40 / Ht3b combo gets any where from 70-80 psi and can support above 700 horse ....but what are the numbers for a hx35/ht3b setup???
 
there are different size 40s and different size 3Bs so the #s vary. Also some think 1800* is ok. most 35/3Bs will do 650hp without issue.
