Help me pick a turbo...

[zstroken]

If you tow anything a 64 compressor is really laggy & in my oppinion not as fun to drive. I've tried everything from 64/14, 62/12, 62/14 & now have the Super Stock 62/24 LDP & I think it is the best turbo a towing truck can get under the hood. If not towing ... . Go Super 62 & LDP won't be needed.

What is LDP?? Do you mean LBP(low back pressure) Also what is the what is the 62/24?? Anybody help me out here?

LDP - low drive pressure.

DUH, boy I spaced it there. Don't ever ask me to decode something for ya. I guess the 24 is the real baffle for me.

As Afarmer said it means low drive pressure & they are great. These turbos spool fast because they take less pressure to get them spinning hence the name LDP. I absolutely love mine because I need that fast spool for towing & this thing is the best turbo for fast spoolup. The 62/24 turbo is the new "superstock"... . It is The answer to fast spooling,good cooling,no fooling around fun. :-laf I would recommend it to anyone, but a regular super 62 would be good too. Some people that bought the LDP & don't tow have said it is too fast, because it gets you through the gears so fast... all you do is shift.

I looked over the dealer sheet and found out where you got the 24 from. What thru me was noone refers to it as a 24. It is all good the 24 comes from the first 2 digits of the part number. My dealings with HTT are in the early stages of a turbo they have about 10 names floating around for it until they decide on one. Maybe that was one of the early names. I new the LDP I just got thrown off on the 24. I had seen you talk about the 24 before and it thru me then too, I thought it was a typo or something. I saw it again and had to ask. HTT doesn't refer to it as the 62/24 at least now.

i have an o3 with tst cr49 fass 5in exhaust southbend fe water meth i do alil towing maybe 15,000lbs every blue moon but mostly i like the fast take offs and alil of top end not quite sure if i want to go to twins are not but is there any turbo that might satisfy me like twins are should i not even try and just go with twins and thinking about doing a mod cp3 maybe 30%over stock with 90 hp ddp injectors but that will be later down the road

How do the SPS xx/xx compare to the Super B's? Anyone done any comparisons.

 

[AFarmer]

I'd say that the High Tech and II turbos both are much more advanced in design than the BD Super B. Both of these companies have put a good deal of time and money in R&D to built the best turbos on the market.

They actually call it 24/62 LDP & that was only a month or so ago when I got it. I guess it is possible that they changed it since then, but not likely. It is written on the tag plain as day.

They have their stuff together & I think that I've been a lot of help testing after 4 turbos from HT & 2 sets of injectors from II. You know what they say..... "you gotta try out the flavors before investing in the pudding"

 

[Cattletrkr]

I was kinda wondering more about spool-up, EGT's, surging issues, towing performance, durability, stuff like that.

That's pretty good right there. Kinda like trying the milk out before you buy the cow kinda thing :-laf

Yeah exactly like that, but my Grandpap always said that & I wanted to add some flavor to the mix.

That is the same load that I carry up mountains daily... . I think that you would be happy with the Super stock. If not just call HT & tell them to send you a S400 or HT3B or something & they can get the fittings etc. to covert to twins. If you want to get the fastest spoolup possible & don't drag race... . then the HTB2 62/12 would work too. It is a proven turbo in twin setups. The 90hp injectors are a great choice for towing..... I never got egt's over 1000 with a 62/12.

The HTB2 62/12 is the fastest turbo for initial spoolup & good for up to 100 hp injectors [if you want no egt issues] It spools up @ 1200-1300RPM. The Superstock turbo is good for 150hp sticks & gonna come in @ 1300-1350rpm & cool you down instantly. I never see over 1100 pulling 15k, but wot can hit 1400 briefly @ 110mph. They are very durable & surging has not been an issue with either one for me, but I keep the revs up.
