Boost Elbow or J-Hook?
Never had a super b - had a hy35, hx35 and SHX40. About to put a he351cw on in next couple weeks. Great thing about a super b is its a 57/65/14 - but its upgradeable and can be used in twins. I think a super B would be an awesome option - but its a little costly new, and then you have to pay to upgrade. There are so many options - and everyone has preferences based on experience. I REALLY like by HX40 .... but it is a little laggy until it hits over 6psi ....... don't notice it too much except a little black smoke and sure its hitting my MPG around ton - so gonna go with the the he351cw. So apart from the hx35 which I think is best bang for buck to handle under 350hp HP your probably looking at these as upgrades (no DP) (new) $750 for hx35/40 $1100 for super-b $1300 for a 62/x/x - HTT/DTECH/II or (used) $600 he351cw (with parts required) $800 super-b $900-$1100 62/x/x - HTT/DTECH/II I would go this order for the cost/HP hx35 ~ 350 HP he351cw ~ 450 HP phatshaft/special b 62 (or equiv) ~ 550 HP pepsi I think ran a hx35/40 hybrid and loved it - so that sounds good to me - I just never have and couldn't justify the cost over a he351cw

Let her breath
Yeah but the 300 includes 200 worth of downpipe and gasket and vband ... So it's only 100 for the back 4" flange ;)

Why monitor boost?
PLus its one of the more 'cooler' monitors. Someone says I was running 2400 rpm kinda sounds dull compared to 24 psi. But really - just like everyone else said its a really good monitor of whats happening in your engine. As EGT alone wont show you how much air your pushing and other problems or changes in the truck. I think boost and egt are really all I look at 90% of the time.
-
You guys think my fuel pressure low???
I got the original AD100 - so 15psi and 11 WOT ...... spring is only way to adjustIm pretty sure mike said the return valve opens around 10psi - so makes sense over 10 is where to be ......

loss of power...cant find it!
I AGREE x2 !! And even better pepsi/Izy - sell me that 62 for $500 and Ill get it working for ya ! Jokes aside .... man that sucks - I was gonna say put on a different chip - but youve done that as well as apps and new injectors ... best thing I can think of now is compression test ? If your sure no boost leak - and you've lost 10psi ...... then compression I think rogan or someone here has a writeup on it

Retorque Head Bolts
ahhhh - light dawns on place red face !!! lmao - just saw your pic again and now I see that - thx bro
-
Retorque Head Bolts
What do you do if you ever take them out ? What I mean is - assume as you loosen the nut - it will just back off the top of the thread - but the stud is still sitting in the block ??

Leaking Automatic Transmission lines need help...

Retorque Head Bolts
So since its a stud - it has no head/bolt on it right ? So how are these installed ? I also heard on some you had to TAP the bottom of the block out to hold the extra thread of the stud ? --- Update to the previous post... did some reading so looks like you can pull existing bolts out and do 1-by-1 as long as new gaskett which I have (1+ year). Then replace with stud and hand tighten. Then washers/stud head and torque to 90ft lbs Then do all in sequence inner to outer Then retorque all to 115 ft pounds - same sequnce heat cycle retorque to 125 ft lbs - same sequence
-
Retorque Head Bolts
yeah its the breaking in the block part that worries me. Just from what I have read there is a lot of debate on when you need headstuds. A lot of guys that do it for a living seem to think the stock bolts and a flat deck torqued to 90ftlbs + 90 degree ~ 125ft lbs is a great way to go until you get over 50psi and pushing higher HP - then really o-rings. Id hate to put $600-$1000 worth of headstuds in and still have a failure ......

Going for a full build!
thats interesting hmm - will have to check after I get the he351cw in (only a 9cm exhaust outlet so will spool quick) - but she does spool relatively well - I can get to 20psi pretty quick ....... but still running 900 without towing up a big hill. Yeah have a boost elbow - hence 30-32 psi. Id love to try a different CAM - but $$ - the methanol STAGE II and HE351cw both cost $1200 ... if I dont like that setup both are comming out for II or similar 62mm and new head bolts.
-
Gravity Feed
Yeah thats how I originally ran it - with my stage 1 kit - but this way I can keep the 1 gallon tank which looks cool and the pump up front - rather than pushing h20 over 20ft. from bed.
-

That hx35 must be better than I remember - I only ran it for like a week and then replaced with the hx40. Got the he351cw sitting here for ages - and going to get it both on with the methanol. Then I thinj even running plain h20 I will get the benefits of fast spool with good ~60mm compressor ... and stage III to kick in if I get near 1100 Anyway - interesting ..... Think you mentioned to me you saw no difference really on the 3x goerand versus the 3x revmax if I remember right ??
-
Going for a full build!
hmmmm still dont get this I have a hx40 with 60mm compressor and 16cm exhaust - and with just 75+INJ and powerpuck I can hit 1200-1300 easily towing my fifth wheel up a large hill ...... 25-30psi boost I loved my my hX35 but how would the hX35 handle that ??? You must be at least a extra 75HP than me and also less air ? Im getting ready to swap it out for a HE351cw with a STAGEIII methanol kit
-
Gravity Feed
Anything wrong with this idea.Going to have a small 1 gallon tank and pump up front for my methanol injection. But I want a larger reservoir so was going to GRAVITY feed a 7 GALLON sitting in my truck bed to the front via 1/4" OD tubing .... Anything wrong with the idea ? CLICK PIC BELOWBetter ideas ?
-
Retorque Head Bolts
Any advice - just thinking of doing it - just from what I have read.My head was replaced 1 yr back and decked and also a new gaskett.

Hood Insulation
Add another to the MIA list Wish I could take the time to clean the cowel insulation up - eveytime I am working with the valve cover off and I bump it - crap goes everywhere and that makes me nervous.

hey man ok - i haven't paid attention to your sig for a while - but enquiring minds are asking 100HP inj Smarty and xzt stack ? jhook ?? Surely you can't be towing that much weight and that much fuel on a hy ?? Im looking for the 62 compressor here ?
