Mulcher812 helps me out!

Posted

Mike came over to my place and helped me do a couple projects. We upgraded my turbo from HY to HX. We also installed 275 injectors and did a valve adjustment. Did this in about 3 hours. Tomorrow I'll hook up my trailer and see what difference it makes. He also flashed me with his smarty. Now I'm ready for the high idle kit.

    Yes it is! He also hit me with 5 with his smarty just to help me understand what it would do. We drove a bit and then set back to normal. Then drove his truck with stacked 5x5 and 100 hp injectors. Yeah, that makes a difference! But again, my long term goals are for economy. So it was fun, but I don't see stacked tuners in my future. The smarty is something I'd be interested in though. It appears that the new sticks and turbo will provide me with better towing performance. Quite a difference in dimensions between the HX and HY turbos. He did a small waste gate mod on it too.

    Is a 4" exhaust going to make any difference for me? Running stock 3" now.

    My wife continues to be amazed at the friends I meet on the internet. I've met a lot of hunting guys too. She gets worried about me meeting guys with guns. Lol. So far so good.

    Not really. I'm still running 3" exhaust as well. Because if you driving for economy/efficiency then there is no driver pressure or boost pressure so 3" is just fine. Now if your racing I would say for sure 4 inch exhaust would gain you much more because drive pressure is way up and so is boost pressure.

    Yea, the most I would think you would see in gain may be the lower EGT's. Which means you can push it further...

    I don't even think the EGT's will change with the RV275's and HX35 with out some kind of tuner. It just doesn't get that hot till you put 100-150hp sticks in it. And Joe your  very welcome if you need anything you have my # and just give me a call.

    Mike even met me today for some warrenty work on his free help. Had an injector leaking fuel at the tube and running down the engine. Thanks man! The smart flash seemed to have updated how the transmission shifts. Downshifts now on downhill runs from OD to lockup. My 3rd gen Hemi does that too. Figure it's an updated Trans programming.

    Nice! Tood bad we all werent closer to each other! I'd take a hand on doing my he351ve swap!

    That I'd like to be able to see & help out on. The HE351VE is on my bucket list!

    Heck, I met my wife on the internet...

    351VE controller is in the works. I have a prototype I am going to install this weekend. Once tested, I will add each feature I want & in 2-3 months, it will be ready for sale.

    For sale? Your Wife? Sorry, couldn't resist!

    So your going to be making up a full setup? Cool

    Heck, I would never sell the wife. She id the best thing that ever happened to me.

    Yeah, I will have the prototype working on boost, then, drive pressure, then CAN inputs like APPS, RPM & brake signal.

     

    Ed

    I know, like Rodney Dangerfield, take my Wife, please!

    Can't wait to check out your new & improved prototype. Are you going to try to sell the VE setup or make a kit for installing a 351VE!

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Ed, you may remember I have the VE. How long do you think I will have to wait for your controller?

    A couple months. Maybe 3... I have to get the prototype working with all functions, then have a new board made & alter the code for the new board. It's a pretty legnthy process & I want it 100% out of the gate.
