Bolt in turbos for 3rd gens......

[jwilliams3]

Besides Piers bomber lite, who is running a modified "larger" size turbo on their 3rd Gen truck?



450-500hp area.

Also, how easy was it to install?

Any fabrication required? etc. etc.



Thanks in advance.

Diesel Dynamics offers a good turbo for that hp range. It's an hx-40 hybrid.

Diesel Dynamics Jammer here. It's rated to 500HP (made 490HP with mine, other have made just over 500). It's as easy an install as it could be - everything bolts in, no fabrication required. You do have to use their air box kit, unless you want to adapt a different air box to the turbo.

How are your egt's?



How is the lag?



Street drivability?

 

[jwilliams3]

The DD turbo is an HX40 correct?

How about one that will handle sled pulling?

EGT's are manageable up to about 105MPH or so. On WOT runs beyond this, I get up around 1400°F. For normal driving, I rarely see >1100°F.



Lag isn't too terribly bad. This is hard to quantify, but I can spool to 40psi in short order (maybe by 1800RPM or so, if the TC is locked).



Drivability? I drive it every day, so I'd say it's pretty good. I had to do a little bit to quiet the turbo whine down some (it was too intense inside the cab).

I already got yelled at by Keith for this - it's not an HX40 (looks like one, though).

So i can get that DD jammer + airbox i needed for 1625. . or around there. . Sounds pretty good i wonder if they do TDr discounts. . This looks like the turbo that would work great for me. . Id like to have 470 - 475 hp. Drive daily. Never tow... @ 475 im just upgrading my tc + vb no drag racing untill i get money to have a 5500 $ trans. .

I made 540 hp with an Enterprise engine performance turbo. great driveablity, not much lag, and more durable that an HX40.

I have pulled with mine at muncie.

What price range are we looking at with the Enterprise turbo and how is it to bolt up?

I have a ks-b1 that is a direct bolt on and works with a turbo mounted exhaust brake.

I see you have 490 hp. . How are the egt's with the ks-b1 at that level?



Lag?



Drivability?



How much? where?

turbo for 03

I have a KS-B1 on my truck and Dynoed over 520hp. It bolts directly up without changing anything. There is no lag with this turbo. I have a buddy that put one on his truck and runs it with and without his edge and says he has very little lag without the box on. The KSB-1's that were blown up were not waste-gated and you can know get them with the waste-gate. Hope this helps you out and if you want to buy one e-mail me and I'll get you a price on one.

The DD Jammer does come with a 4 inch downpipe, and is an excellent turbo for the HP range intended. I've got over 25K miles on mine, and it performs flawlessly every day.

Due to running a TST box or a faulty turbo?



What is the exhaust housing like on the KS-B1? Basically an HX35-12?

Can you add a little more to this or what?
