Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) What bomb next?

[DoddS]

Well the bug bit me kinda hard and I'm trying to decide what to do next? Mods so far,



KDP dead

#10 plate

4K GSK w/60lb valve springs

timming @16*

4" down pipe back

16cm non WG

SB "Rally" clutch, soon to be replace with an OFE or FE

BHAF





and so far thats it. Should I do a turbo, injectors or what for the next step on the DARK SIDE.

 

[DoddS]

Oh yea, I'd like to end up around 425 to 450 RWHP in the end.

If you go with injectors you are going to be making a lot of heat (egts). If you play with your plate position you can control it. The best way is to a larger wastegated turbo. I say wastegated because you can set it to your boost level that you like and that is best, also when the wastegate opens up you can flow more air than a non wastegated housing. Just depends when you are going to spend the money. A PDR 40 will give a pretty good kick. If you are worried at all about strength i would go with a B1. I know some people put those things through hell and they have no problems with them. Just an idea.

370 injectors and HX40 turbo. Still too hot, ported head and DD cam will help.

How much hp will 370's add?

listen to Joe!!

 

[DoddS]

Thanks for the info. What size WG housing should I use with the HX40?

 

[Woodenhead]

PDR HX40-16

I'd say go with the 16. I have a PDR HX40-16 and am quite happy with it. Definitely helped in a big way with EGT's.



I'm not sure about an 18 (never had one), I'm sure someone else will chime in about that one.



You could get your 370's from Piers at the same time and you'd be laughing. What hp/tq rating is a SB Rally clutch good for?

[DoddS]

Thats my problem, 350 HP/ not sure TQ. But I'll be solving that problem real soon!

Go with the FE 13" from South Bend..... I had the OFE and loved it..... but as I started turning up the wick a bit I could make it slip if I pushed hard. I have the FE now and its great!!!! Peter at South Bend was very helpful in helping me figure out what would work for my truck. Check out my mods in my sig below. I have added 370s since the dyno numbers.
