Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) H2E on a 12 valve

[PRohr]

I picked up a brand new of these up for cheap ... . I talked to Mark at CDS about this thing and learned some info from the diesel forums. The one I have is a 63/71/19. Mark has a 17cm housing that he'd trade me for my 19cm + a little $. He also has all the adapters to bolt this right on my '98 12V. That would make this a 63/71/17 non-WG. With the smaller housing would this thing be okay for a DD 12V? I have 370's, my converter stalls around 1300 and flashes to 1500 or so... 4K-GSK. I want to add some . 024 DV's here and then step up to some better SDX 5x14's. I don't push the truck much over 3000 RPM since she's an auto. I have stock headbolts and HG yet and will keep it under 45psi..... so will this thing still be a laggy pig or will it be okay?

The 19 cm2 housing makes the turbo pretty laggy. It also won't work well if you try for more than 550 HP and is prone to blow up if the truck makes over 500 HP at the wheels.

I'm going to put a 17cm housing on it IF I run it..... I would rather sell it but if i can't I'll run it for a little while with the 17.
