Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Can't buy it.. Build it (S400)

[OPoole]

I have wanted to show the pictures from sometime now. Just now taking the time to post them. This is an S400 custom turbo have been playing around with. Was a T-6 inlet flange now T-3 was 5" outlet. . now a HX-40 4" outlet.

Oo. Here a few more pictures Oo.

I think I like it! Oo. !!

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Olee,



That is SICK! I can't wait til you test that that bad boy!



Hey Olee, can I have it?



Don't hurt none to ask!

 

[Sea01Cummer]

I see black soot on the inside of the last one, how did it perform???

What a/r was the turbine housing on that? What is the inducer for the compressor?

I ran that on my truck after the twins were gone for a little while. That turbo is crazy - a little laggy because of it's size but after learning the truck all over again you can really make it work. Seems like we were getting around 55lbs out of it and my EGT's with Mach 7+ inj's wasn't over 1100 after holding it down for up to 90mph. It would make one killer drag/sled pulling turbo but could be somewhat streetable. Olee can do some serious welding - i think we grilled that turbo that night didn't we?? :-laf

 

[LUnderwood]

Thats one mean looking turbo !

 

[OPoole]

You need a lot fuel! We tried it on a 24v truck auto with Mach 7s would not spool till 2nd gear But when it did she was on would pull like mad to red line only make 55lbs 57lbs of boost. A looser converter would have been better.

You guys should have heard that thing bark - awesome sound coming out of those stacks. It can be yours I'm sure.

 

[OPoole]

A/R is. . was a . 90 & 75mm comp wheel. . I also have a . 80 a/r to try one day

BEAUTIFUL fabrication and welding!

 

[MarshallB]

that looks killer! afarmer why didnt you keep it on was there any drawbacks other than the lag?

 

[OPoole]

You need a good bit of fuel to spool it.

 

[GHarman]

Outstanding WELDING and FABRICATION. GregH

 

[TMilliard]

This may be a stupid question, but are all Rams fitted with a T-3 manifold? If they are would it make sense to fab up a new manifold with a T-4 outlet, that would likely drop egts? I dont know if it would be worth it or even be possible to fab a manifold that would withstand the heat.

Just a few things I've been pondering

 

[wildmanben]

So your going to sell it to me right?

 

[OPoole]

Maybe, I have a guy thats going to try it out this weekend sled pulling if he don't keep it. I will PM you



ATS has a big foot manifold to fit a H2e turbo real close to a T-4 flange you could make it work.

I made this turbo a T-3 trying to get to spool on a auto 24v still didn't do what i was looking for.
