Turbo info

[Silverdodge]

I'm looking to dump the turbo I'm running for a step to compounds in the s300 s400 in the far future now I'm planning on going with an sxe 62 inducer and ether a 65 or 68 and ether a 12 or 14 exhaust side any opinions I'm planning on buying from apg

Why are you wanting to move away from your modified charger? It will work just fine for compounds. if sticking with the 7x.010s you want a 65 turbine with a gated 12cm housing.

[Silverdodge]

Because I can't mix and match with this charger as easily as I could with the s300 and I'd rather have an s300

Bayes is a power guru and you should listen to him, but I'm gonna share my experience with a S362 and an APG housing.  I've got a secondhand S362/68 SXE from Smeding Diesel with a 14 cm (.80 A/R) nongated APG housing.  The turbo itself has been great.  The housing, while it has a badass turbine whistle, was slow to spool and the downpipe flange was machined just slightly under HX40 size, causing a leak.  I recently went to a 12cm gated housing (as of a month ago) in preparation for compounds.  Then life got in the way, so compounds are on hold.  

Here's my thoughts:  at the time of me deciding to go to compounds, I had both a 62/65/12 and the 62/68/soon-to-be-12 at my disposal.  I sold the 62/65 on the thought that the 68 turbine wheel would give me just a bit more top end in a compound setup.  I'm running 7x0.0095 injectors.  

Now,  I could be way off base here, but based on how hard the 62/68/12 pulls as a single, my thought would be to get the 68 turbine wheel for a bit more top end.

 

@jlbayes, how far off am I? lol

A bit off topic, but if you were staying with a single, which would it be?

[trreed]

Who is that question to?

You! 

[jlbayes]

How much power do you want to make @notlimah & @Silverdodge ?

[notlimah]

I'd be fine between 4-500 peak with the ability to tune it down for towing.

If I were to stay with a single, I'd probably leave the current turbo I have.  Plenty of low end torque due to the .70 housing, and has plenty of top end power.

That's approximately where I am currently (not dyno proven).  It's plenty of power, but @TFaoro has corrupted me so i'm going for moar.

Meh idk about power no goal currently I just want to play I ordered the 62 68 14 from agp we will c how the ball falls I can always buy a 12cm housing so I want to compare both of them my self

One of the reasons I decided to go with the 14 housing is because I tend to find my self running with od off more and more because of my 35s and 355s and I didn't want a choke point 

[jlbayes]

Silverdodge, the 68 turbine is going to limit power to 550whp in a single turbo application on a vp truck. It is just where they seem to fall. Regardless of housing size.

 

Notlimah, a 62/65/12 gated is what I'd suggest. Or a s300g but it would max out around 450whp due to the smallish compressor.

 

Trevor is a lost cause. LOL

[trreed]

I'm not THAT lost....

Fully understood there I bought it knowing that but I'm hoping it does what i want if not in a few months I'll start buying parts to compound as I said when I compound I'm thinking about a 471 with it 

[jlbayes]

I don't see the 471 being a good choice for the secondary you have. You will already be at the limit of the set with the 63/68 and spool up will be slower due to loss of heat through two turbines. I know you are just wanting to play, not discouraging that. I'd suggest using a gta4202 or a s475 with a smaller turbine.

[Silverdodge]

Sorry for the late reply I got the 62 68 nongated 14 and I love it so far smoke is down egts are down power is up I like how it runs down the highway it works for my setup very well now on to the story I spit the input shaft 3 days after putting it on had the input shaft fixed next day I don't know I like the charger lights early and spools fast
