Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Do I need a turbo?

[pwerwagn]

I just dont think they do the 14 with the super, only the regular. Same with HTT, only the 14 with the 71 series, but with the htb2 series you have the option of 12 or 14.

I havent ever seen anyone with a 12cm sps either, I dont think it would make much sense. I think it would be much more prone to surge.

But im sure you could order one with a 12 if you really wanted one...



I think HTT's new housing is the way to go. The stainless is a great idea. Better heat retention, meaning quicker spoolup for the same size housing. Or, even better, able to run a large housing with the same spoolup as the smaller housin.

What kind of boost #s are you getting with the dodgzilla?

Look at the Aurora, I love mine! I can get on it showing 0-3 psi and within a second, second and a half I am hitting 20+! And no waste gate to boot!

im running nearly the same set up with a htbg only smokes below 1500 rpm and doesnt get over 1200 egt would go 62/14 if you plan on more fuel like comp . at ur fuel level youll ony see 35psi w any turbo. if u need more u need a fueling box or bigger sticks hope this helps

pdr shows up to a 66/12

I bet their 66/12 only uses a 65 mm or so turbine though. .



When did pdr stop carrying the B-1 line? Does anyone carry B-1's anymore?

What kind of boost #s are you getting with the dodgzilla?

The way it is setup to dyno, I have no boost elbow (just a 90* fitting) and I have wastegate set so that max psi is around 44. With the boost elbow, I cannot keep it below 48 or so. (It also has a banks big head wastegate on it).

This is due to the fact that the wastegate is rather small, and only gates 3 cylinders. once I fix that, and port the gate a little, I should be able to keep boost down to 40 or so.

With stock injectors, and a 0 plate, I ran it around 38psi and it worked great. Its a great towing turbo. It does clean up smoke a bit, but I didnt see a ton of EGT reduction. Not even sure how much I saw. They do climb slower though. The way its sitting in the driveway, with teh 0 plate and edm 370's, I drive it to work every day like that and have no problem towing 10-12K and keeping it cool. It does require some pyro attention on long hills, but mainly only when I am in the wrong gear or something.

The Dodgezilla worked for me. If you want to use a 12 cm housing you can save even more $$'s by using your existing housing on it. A little port matching is a good idea too.
