I am simply going to ask random questions regarding my truck and upgrades, feedback on upgrades others have done....anecdotal evidence etc....

 

To start off...has anyone ran the stainless diesel manifold? (http://www.crazycarlsturbos.com/Stainless-Diesel-Exaust-Manifold-SDman.htm) If so....what is your opinion on it?

 

I am slowly preparing for compounds OR just a larger single, haven't decided yet. Specific setup is still not known at this point, however I do know I want reliability and usability over everything. In my other thread, TFaoro made some excellent points (

). 

 

 

I'll be back with more ?s. Thanks.

 

 

 

 

PS TFaoro.....trailer weighs 5,560 pounds  I'll see about getting a pic up here soon. 

 

Just navigate to the windows 10 thread using your phone and download it directly.  it installs without fuss. 

 

 

Well it will with Andriod, no idea about Iphone.  

Quadzilla Adrenaline V2 will be in my hands and on it's way to being installed by Tuesday afternoon. 

Has anyone here had success updating their iQuad app on their iPhone with the iOS API deal that @Me78569 posted in his how to flash windows 7/10 thread?

@TFaoro  do you think an S366 SXE  would be better than an S362 SXE? 

 

 Just doing some research still on turbos

 

 What does this option mean:

 

Borg Warner S300 T4 Turbine Housing Fits 80/73.4 Turbine Wheel 0.91 AR Divided Twin Scroll - 177208

 

I know what T4 means.  Will it be wise to choose this option and this turbo?  Paired with a set of 7 x 10's.

That's a lot of turbo for 7 x .010's  I would run the 62, I would guess you would be a lot happier.

I seriously cannot find ANY specs on my HX35 & other holset turbos that came stock on the Cummins trucks. 

 

I know my HX35W has a 12cm exhaust housing right? I'm highly ignorant about turbos ?

http://www.d-series.org/forums/forced-induction/120686-holset-turbo-specs-hy-hx-h1c-wh1c-h1e-wh1e.html

So if I choose this turbo like previously suggested http://dieselautopower.com/borg-warner-s362-sx-e-series-62-68-turbo-13009097056/

 

 What would this option do? : 

 

Borg Warner S300 T4 Turbine Housing Fits 76/68 Turbine Wheel 0.88 AR Undivided Open Scroll - 177210

 

I'm thinking of the T4 for better flow when I go to twins later down the road. Just trying to plan carefully so I'm not spending $ twice. If I go T4, I'll get a T4 Stainless diesel manifold. 

 

EDIT: does T4 even result in more flow?

NO t4 for a single charger on a vp, especially the open .88. Gated t3 .70 or 12cm2 (they are the same just sold differently).

Ok. But why? 

Why would you want unnecessary lag?

I just don't entirely understand how turbos work. What option would you choose with that turbo? I am eventually getting 7x0.10s. I need to figure this turbo business out BEFORE I am ready to buy one so I don't jump the gun and buy the wrong one.

turbos work on pressure difference across the turbine.  

 

A t4 will flow more, but it will take more volume to get the same pressure.  IE it will take more revs to get the turbine moving.  If you had a need for the flow of a t4 then you might want ot consider it, but for your setup a t3 will flow more than enough for your power goals.  

 

Generally speaking there is no need for more than a T3 on a VP44 5.9 and single turbo

Very common where people upgrade turbo way before needed. Like one gent I talked to upgraded turbos with +50HP injectors. He's wondering why it won't build boost like the old stock HX35W turbo did. Too big of a turbo will create much more lag and more issue with smoke because you'll have to build more drive pressure to build boost. 

 

Like myself I could upgrade but it leaves me hanging with even bigger problem of replacing the exhaust brake.

I told you in the post.

Anyone know of an outfit that's reputable at rebuilding turbos? I'm going to have my HX35 rebuilt. I'd do it myself but can't right now. 

Having issues with my quad already. Installed it and went to start truck up...wouldn't start. Kept acting like I needed to bleed the injectors or something...unhooked the quad, both from the main hookup @ quad box & battery connections.....truck started right up....let it run for a few mins, turned off, hooked quad back up, then it starts....gauges work good etc...

 

Let it warm up...go to take off...no pedal response, check eng. light on....diagnostics on the iQuad don't seem to work...screen just stays blank. Is it possible this thing can cause my inj pump to fail? Yes I tapped the right wire...the same damn one my edge was tapped. 

 

Quadzilla said they flashed it with the V2 software....because I asked them to.  I chose exactly the vehicle profile what the little sticker on the side of the box said ......>>>V2.3!

 

What is going on here? 

 

I unhooked the quad a second time...tried to drive truck....acts like dead pedal...floor it and it slowly starts to speed up. 

 

No, this isn't user installation error either.

@Me78569

Yep I read it.  Need some coffee.

 

@crf450ish

 

It's very likely that something got knocked adjar when installing things.  I've seen this numerous times.

 

The likeliness that something is damaged is next to none.

 

Give me some time to write up some things to check, but I would start by going over everything in the area again with a fresh set of eyes.  At 2 am it is easy to miss something, been there done that.

Ok I will go quadruple check everything. 

Firstly I understand your frustration, I deal with install issue / bugs every day at my real job lol.   However that means I know how to look for the issue. 

 

First lets start with EXACTLY what you did on the Quad before starting the truck, that will help me understand better what could be causing issues.  

 

1. Did you change levels or apply a custom tune before starting the truck after first install or after you disconnected the Quad?  Or did you just connect the quad box and start the truck?  (either way is fine I just have to know what I am looking for)

 

2.  when you tried to drive the truck and it was slow are you %550 sure you connected the map sensor back to OEM?  I am going wager a bet you have a P0234 or p0236 code telling you the map was disconnected when trucks power was on.  If the map was disconnected the truck would be a dog since the ecm would never see more than 0 psi of boost.  Your decription of the truck matches perfectly. 

 

3. the diangostics on the Iquad are not compatable with 2nd gen trucks.  If you see that choice in your list on the Iquad then you need to select the correct vehicle profile on the Iquad.  the Diagnostics menu item does not appear if you choose a 2nd gen profile.  Start iquad app > settings > Vehicle selection  > choose the V2 dodge 2001 -2002 profile.  

 

4. I am sure you are more than capable of wrenching on your truck so do not take this as you made a mistake, but the VAST majoity of issues I have seen related to the Quadzilla install where due to the wrong tap wire being connected.  Did you check for 12v Key on engine off on the pump tap wire?  It's the easiest way to know if it is tapped correctly.  How was the pump tapped before? Was it a positap or a clip?  Did you physically remove the pump tap to install a new one?  I would check this VERY closely as we all make mistakes and if we are purely playing the odds in terms of what I have seen I would say the pump tap wire is to blame for your issues.  I would disconnect the Pump tap wire from the Quad just to be safe until we narrow the issue down.  If it is connected to the wrong wire somehow then it could backfeed and cause all sorts of issues.

 

5. Did you remove ANYTHING to allow easy access?  Intake horn? Apps? ANYTHING?  I have done this time and time again, I check something and remove something unrelated then forget to connect it again.  Again not to say you are bad at wrenching, just that everyone does this type of stuff we are human.
