Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) My Ultimate Street/Tow TWINS for under $1500!

[LAMiller]

Hey guys I put twins on my truck the first of Dec. and never got around to putting pictures and other info that I learned in the proccess of fabbing so here we go!

First of all a big thanks to Brandon Miller for convincing me on twins and laying out my setup along with lots of fabbing work!! But what I ended up with is a very quick spooling twin setup that keeps me cool when I tow HEAVY while on 5x5 with the ability to use all of my HP while towing and all said and done for less than $1500!!

My main expenses were my big turbo - Switzer S400 Ebay($375) and the top turbo was assembled all from 4 different bad turbos that were given to us and then I had it rebuilt w/ new wheels and seals for $250. Then I bought $200 dollars worth of adapters and misc. stuff from Power by Poole (Olee's a really good guy)! then I had about $600 in just hot pipe, cold pipe, oil feed lines, oil return lines, Afe Air Filter, New upper and lower Intercooler boots, lots of hose/band clamps and then more 5" pipe to do my downpipe and exhaust!

I have a lot of pics posted at this link http://www.firepunk.com/gallery/lavon and here is a small peek of was it looks like under my hood:

Thats pretty sweet! Is an s400 a B-2? About how long did it take you to complete the twins?

 

[Nyoest]

Very nice job. Let me know when my set is done



Do you have any dyno numbers yet?

 

[LAMiller]

Yeah the S-400 is the equivalent of a B2 - the wheel is a little smaller which gives me a quicker spool. It took maybe 3weeks of working on it almost every nite but always had al the "truck" guys stopn in and keepn me company so that always made time fly!



I Dyno'd 484HP 1017TQ the day after I got them together with a dying VP44 and no tuning to the twins and I had dyno'd at 417hp 889TQ before twins but I am using up all my fuel so I'm waitn on sum greenbacks n then I'll put sum Mach 6's in and see what kind of numbers I put out.

thats a cool setup. i was going to build twins as well with a 35/40 and a B2 but i went to a SPS64/14 in stead and im gonna try this for a while. let me know how it works out

Very cool setup, I will have to bookmark this for future reference. #ad




Do you care if I save all of your photo's onto my harddrive?

 

[LAMiller]

I don't care if you save those pics. I've got all the reciepts of everything i used and once I take an eve. off and get all my information on the computer then I should have a complete list of all the pipes, elbows, hoses, etc. along with there part #'s so if you do your own set sometime let me know and I can maybe save you sometime if you don't have to do all the "homework".
