Multiple LP failures now hard starting when hot
not worth killing anyone over $30 or so. These are really low margin items... unless we sell them for $1800.

Picking out a new turbo
Its typical to lose bottom end when you go to a bigger turbo, the hopes are that it will lower EGT and get you more air at mid to higher RPM and load. 64mm is really big for 100HP injectors. 12cm is not going to speed up spool time by more than 50-100RPM All the items below will speed up your response on the turbo: smaller turbine housing smaller compressor and turbine wheel Higher gear ratio for axle 4.10 instead of 3.55 looser converter on the transmission Smaller tires Lower elevation Airflow mods (headwork, cam, clean filter etc)

Installed a new B/W K27 turbo for my '01.
Agreed- part of the recipe for a high altitude turbo is a bigger compresor wheel and tighter exhaust or smaller turbine. at sea level where the air is denser (14.7psi vs 12.5 at 4500ft and lower at 7300ft) then the larger compressor wheel can contribute to higher drive pressure issues unless the exhaust side is also modified.

Installed a new B/W K27 turbo for my '01.
The compressor dimensions are only part of the story. There is tip height that is not included in many measurements. In short the S200GXE is newer development and it was recently adapted to fit the Dodge application with some custom parts. The s200GXE is not as well known. It does have some smaller dimensions than the K27 but it flows more air. The k27 does extremely well for high altitude and quick spooling. Reasons why I like the s200GXE better: S200GXE is newer technology The s200 is rebuildable. More parts for support (k27 is based off brazillian application and often has lead times and replacement parts not available) S200GXE has 5 bolt flange for direct fitment on 98-02 24v.

Its eye candy. Not interested in selling the illusion of power. We want to get you parts that will make a difference. We want to consult with our customers and help find out what their needs are. Wants are ok too! (nobody NEEDS a 600HP truck !!)

Best low rpm towing turbo
this turbo is a bit small for 5x.013 but its great for 400HP. Big upgrade form HX35/40 or K27 https://www.dieselautopower.com/s200gx-e-dodge-ram-upgrade-turbo-12769880001 5x.013 you will want the 62/68/12 SXE. They wont tow as well as your stock turbo, but midrange and top end will be much better.

Installed a new B/W K27 turbo for my '01.
Intake elbow works great for common rail. Not much of a restriction on the 24v vp44 powered trucks. Tunnel ram would help more. intake1 = 24v, 2= aftermarket elbow 3= 3rd gen Restriction is due to the way they bolt onto the intake plenum. Biggest restrictions will be intake filter, intake plenum (not elbow) too small of wastegate, small turbine housing and small turbine wheel on stock turbo. pics are from DTR

I will check. Started going through emails and forums and started here on this site first.

Turbo/Injector upgrade (Heavy Towing) Shoutout to Me78569
Isspro is my go to for gauges. The Quadzilla Adrenaline already has 20+ parameters to monitor and data log. Would be cheaper to buy a second phone (or a used donor ) to keep it connected to the truck instead of using the one you receive calls on.

Looking For a Good Vendor
We have stronger springs for $249 High quality steel. if you want 550-600HP you will want bigger than the 6x.011, Go a little bigger to 7x.011sac or 7x.012vco or 6x.012sac ( 7 hole are often cleaner.) 550HP is about the max for a 62/68/12 64/73.4/12 would be better suited, but would not tow as well.

Looking For a Good Vendor
We love trucks! We treat every customer like our brother or neighbor. We don't oversell and want to be honest, even if that means cutting the invoice in half. We prefer to be consultants and help customers get the best value. We even have some take off parts or returns for some items (unforunatley we can't list all of them due to MAP stuff) Most of us here have or had 2nd gen trucks so we know what up with them and the problems they have. You are certainly welcome to call us and tell us what you want and we can help you split your build into stages so you don't have to duplicate work/labor on future installs. Quadzilla Adrenaline and 150HP injectors + 62/68/12sxe works great for 500HP

Quadzilla adrenaline boost issues on my 99.
The Quadzilla can be easily tested. We have been seeing a lot of issues with map sensors lately. Especially the cheapo ebay and autzone stuff. I get that its tempting to get a sensor from ebay or amazon for $15 instead of cummins/dealer/ Genos for $100+ Anyone have a lead on a good aftermarket sensor that works well?

My idea of the ultimate towing turbo
We still have a set of 150VCO and 150 SAC. And some new 275HPVCO if you want to go BIG

Blower inop among other things
Thank you for the nice write up. While you have everything out you may want to add some sound insulation to the back wall to add some mass and dampen some of the noise.

Injector questions
I'd bet a nickel that he just missed a hole when he counted. Many shops dont have equipment in smaller than .0005 increments for hole size. Metric gauges can offer greater sizing accuracy.

Modified HX35 and HE351 have their place, but its not = an s300. bearings are smaller, compressor housing is small. It all depends on the application. Always keep in mind the time to rebuild, and the loss of a core or good turbo to make the hybrid. If one is in love with a project and it fits thier needs then go for it. The SXE is such a good value. Custom $2000 dollar turbos from a few years ago wish they could have been SXE turbos.

HE351 would have to be modifed to address the small turbine wheel and housing to = the flow of the 57GXE. Call in when you are ready and state you are a MOPAR1973MAN forum member and we will get you a discount. Happy to support the forum and its members!
