Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) What Turbo ??

[smokinrod]

I'm useing this truck to sledpull only. (in the street class) the truck is an auto with a 2200 stall converter, the pump has been worked over, and it has injectors injectors one size bigger than 370's.



I know there are plenty of options but I just want to know what one will last the longest and yet perform the best.

Give J. R. Adkins a call,(317-281-3130)his lil 55 is a nice charger for what you want to do and they hold up really well.

I'll have to agree with mrsmith on J. R. 's hx-55 selection, very tough turbos.

Does it mount to the stock manifold ? and would I need headstuds?

 

[Smokin_Monster]

I would recomend the HTT HTB2 64 or the Sled Puller 66. Great line of turbos! I absolutley love mine.

It'll bolt to your stock manifold,no you wouldn't need headstuds,the lil 55 is wastegated.

Would a Pro 52 be to much?

 

[Cooker]

You want to stay with a single charger I take it?



I would look at the Sled Puller 66 or Phat Shaft 66. There is a HTT Beta turbo in the classifieds (one step larger than the Sled Puller 66) for a decent price.



I would throw in a set of studs for piece of mind. Stock HG's have went a less than 40psi and some last for a while at 60psi. There is no "correct" answer, just whatever you feel comfortable with.

Anyone want to bet it will surge bad!



A SPS66 is not the biggest turbo that Industrial Injection sells... . FYI!

get the studs. between advancing your timing and running the higher boost its a must. unless you want to change the hg. how does the hx55 compare in durability to the ps66 or sledpuller66?

Yes I would like to bet Jim. Lets say trucks on second thought, I really have no use for a 2wd, so lets just do it for motors.

I've put JR's 55 hybrid through some abuse on the pulling track and has held up great. I wish I would have had the 2200 stall coverter you have.

Will Any of the turbos mentioned hold up to a little spray ?

 

[moremph]

I have seen the 55 in many pulling applications and it is on our puller. I have also had this turbo on my personal truck and loved it. I experienced NO SURGING AT ALL.

I am not saying spray it but i say it will hold up and can almost bet if you SPRAY ANY TURBO THERE WILL BE NO WARRANTY!!!

Go with JR he is a stand up guy and will shoot you straight. Give him a call and just talk to him tell him Chris told you to call.

Lenny at Dynomite Diesel said he put down a little spray on his SP66, enough spray for 800+HP. It was 600+HP without the spray. I don't know of any of the SP66 that have blown up. Guys we pull with block the wastegates and are pushing 60 or so thru them. So far no problem.

 

[smokinrod]

So is the SP66 better , equal to, or the same as the phat shaft 66

 

[zstroken]

That is the million dollar question

I think the Phat Shaft may have some more advantage box stock, but port out the wastegate on the Sled Puller(probably able to take at least 1/16" all the way around on both ports) and then put the extra cash on a cam and that combo will probably eat a phat shafts lunch. I just know what I can get a Sled Puller for and what a Super Phat Shaft 66 goes for.
