Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Turbo Help

[RKlassen]

I currently have an edge juice and I am looking at DDP Stage 3 injectors (110hp). I tow 7000lbs a few times in the summer. I've been looking at turbos and I'm wondering if an HTT HTB2 62mm/12cm2 or an HTB2 62mm/14cm2 would be right for my setup. I'd like to be able to tow without worrying about EGTs but don't want too big of a turbo that takes forever to spool. I've driven a truck with too big of a turbo and I think it's worse than having too small of a turbo. Thanks.

For towing, stick with the 12cm housing. As long as I keep my rpms above 1900 or so, my HTB2/12 does a good job of cooling while towing. Add 100-200 rpm with the 14cm housing.

Thanks. What level do you run your comp on while towing?

 

[PC12Driver]

1-1 or 2-2, depending on temperature (smoke control).

I agree on the HTB2 62/12! That's what I have and I love it! I talked to Rip Rook(Source Automotive) and he suggested the 12 over 14. Good luck.

Thanks. What size is the BD Super B and Super B Special turbos. Can't seem to find the specs. on these anywhere?

I also run a HTB2 62-12 when i had my edge comp in I always ran it on level 3 while pulling, seemed to work the best for me.

My vote is for the HT2B 62/12 also. Rip Rook from Source Automotive recommended it to me also and I'm very happy with it. It spools very well with the auto trans. and towing my 29' fifth wheel.

I don't know the size of the Super B and I am running one!!! Does a good job for me. Tow 14k plus a lot.

Super B = 57/14

OK, 57/14. I'll try to remember that. Thanks
