Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Input or ideas

[gwagner]

ok so now that i have saved up a little bit of money i want to get more out my ctd I wan't to go with the 370 injectors with the hx-40 turbo. i also want to change the fuel plate. (it's got the one that came with the banks stinger plus kit) also want to put the 3k springs in. any input or ides on the step up would be greatly appriciated.

Do the gauges FIRST. Pyrometer and boost.

The HX 40 is always a good mod if needed, but I am in the 400hp plus range and still running the stock turbo. It is at the end of its range of usefulness at this HP level but still works well. Any more HP mods will require an upgrade. You can go a long way with the stock turbo and use the money for gauges and a clutch and then do the turbo when you are making some pretty good power. Also unless you have a exhaust brake that is not fastened to the turbo it wont work with a HX 40 which is why I havnt gone that way, dont want to buy another brake.

already got gauages installed. got a new clutch to handel alot more ponies and tourqe. all the basic gotta haves are already installed.

Forgot for a bit that many of the Banks kits come with gauges.

Give the injectors a try for awhile before buying the turbo, you may not need it.

The Banks Stinger + also replaces the turbo exhaust housing so there is some upgrade there already.

They call it their "Quick Turbo". I don't know how much gain it provides in terms of size.

The Quick Turbo is a 14cm housing

i was thinking i should probaly upgrade the trubo because it is the stock wH1c not the hx 35.

When did they change over to the HX35? I always thought that all 2nd gen 12 valves had the HX35.

 

[gwagner]

in 94 they used both the wh1c and the hx35 i guess i just got unluckey wtih the 1c. in 95 they changed to all hx35
