Any feedback on the group buy turbos from J.R.?

[RonA]

Anyone had a chance to try theirs out ?

 

[Tcolesanti]

I'm still waiting... ... ... ... ... ... it should be here any second... ... ... ... .....

 

[Got Smoke?]

4 went out Monday morning at 9AM! I'm not sure who the other 3 were, but I have a 38lb box sitting at home waiting for Saturday! Oo.



I gotta go to Nashville though and find a 4" V-band clamp since I forgot to order one! :{ :-laf

I'm one of the 14

Mine is on the way. JR said I was number 14. Thanks GOT SMOKE?

 

[RonA]

It's ok... relax... . inhale... exhale... I was just curious. I told J. R. to send mine last. I will put it on after the new pump. It will be nice to hear how they do. Anyone else putting it in twins?

 

[gregdoerfler]

i just got mine today, but will have to wait to get a new fuel pump and install injectors. might be a long while

[Tcolesanti]

Anybody install/test thiers yet?????

 

[gregdoerfler]

i need the plate that bolts on where the oil line hooks to, anybody know where i can get one? and if someone could give me the torque specs on all the bolts would be great.

 

[Bloomy]

I am anxiously (patiently) waiting. Don't know when mine will get here. I am also interested when someone gets theirs installed. How difficult was it?

My buddy Aaron just got through working with JR this past week... . I could have sworn he said they got the rest of them out... ... but don't hold me to that. JR will contact each of you via E-mail with a tracking # when the turbo goes out.



I installed mine Saturday. So far GREAT! Oo.



Still got 69 miles left till I can plant the right foot though! Its KILLING ME! :{



This thing spools like my HX35... . gotta keep an eye on the boost gauge for the initial 150 miles. Already hit 22-24psi twice accidently!



Cruise speed EGT's are down 100* or so. I will report back tomorrow after I actually get to FEED 'ER THE FUEL! Oo.

Mark,

Just go out and drive a good 75 or 100 miles and get an initial break in done.

Then go easy for the next several hundred miles or so.

Mine must be in the last batch being shipped, because I haven't seen or heard anything yet. The waiting is no fun.

Will call JR here in just a minute..... can't get back to a computer for about 1. 5hrs though... ... . look for an update then!

 

[Got Smoke?]

Ok I called JR. He said the rest of the schwitzer's will be out by the end of the week. He's busier than a jack rabbit right now! :-laf

If this turbo is something like the B-1 series turbos... If its not broke in after 50 miles so that you can nail it... something is wrong.

I have installed a number of PDR HX35 turbos and their instructions is be easy on it for the first 50 miles or so. No issues what so ever with them. The last B-1 that I installed the supplier said to let the truck warm up completely and tell the owner to stick their foot in it...



Rick

Never heard JR compare it to a B1, that statement was made by Clawson I believe?



JR's directions were no more than 20PSI for 150 miles..... those are the ones I am going to follow! Then I will gradually be a little meaner to her! Oo.

Thanks, GotSmoke. Figures mine would be in the last batch. I guess that's what I get for having a last name that starts w/Z.

Don't feel too bad, my last name starts with a "C" and I don't have mine yet... ... ... ... ... I can't wait... ... ... ... ... ..... I thought I heard the UPS truck... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... maybe not.
