Choosing the right turbo

[mopar440cu]

Well I ordered the one we were discussing. The 62/68/12cm. I could not beat the price and it has to be better than the HY for what I do. I have other 01 3500’s I could try the other one on later.

I ordered the AGP S300 SXE Wastegated  62/68/12cm.

[mopar440cu]

I also ordered the exhaust manifold and turbo blanket/soc to aid in heat reduction and a little extra boost. Well hopefully a hair boost. LOL

Woo ur going to like it

Just add a bit more retard to the 1,500 RPM area and allow the engine to build boost for you.

I just read this. So, you are saying with just the 110 sticks a 68mm inducer wheel would not do me justice?? 

Just did a quick search and its saying it doesnt flow on the exhaust side like the S300 and you should port the wastegate hole. I dont know about that. 

 

No, it will not.

 

You cannot compare a 60/58mm wheel to a 76/68 wheel. The larger is obviously going to move more mass flow.

@mopar440cu where’d you get the turbo from?

So, if I am reading your post correct i should of gone to a bigger wheel? Sorry I am a neophyte on this subject.

Or should I put bigger injectors in it???

Smaller turbine wheel. Or bigger injectors. Like 7x0.012’s and use the quad to tune it back.

Let me know how you like that turbo. Im more than likely ordering one in the next few weeks or going with compounds.

Ok. I picked this one so I could possibly use it in a twin set up in the near future. If not, I will put it on one of the other 3500's.

I ordered the same turbo back around Black Friday for my truck. With the quad and the custom tuning you will be able to light that turbo and get moving in a hurry. I saw you have a built tranny so you will be happy!! The guys here offering knowledge definitely know what they are talking about they offered the exact same advice for me!

 

If you’re not running studs don’t adjust the waste gate all that much. I had a faulty torque wrench when I installed my ARP’s and promptly blew my head gasket. I think it was a combo of added boost and “loose” head studs

If you keep your timing curve conservative, you won't run into head gasket issues.

Ok thanks! What is conservative though??

Thanks!  Still waiting on it.

When you replaced your studs did you replace the studs one at a time or did you replace the gasket with it? I heard you could replace the studs one at a time without replacing the gasket, just have to follow the installation procedures. 

Thank you ALL for your advice!!!

@mopar440cu my best advice would be to borrow a calibrated torque wrench. I bought a Tekon off amazon to do the install. It’s was a POS. Both times I torqued my studs I did one at a time and stepped them up to spec. I can tell you after I did the sequence with the Tekon and came back with a Proto torque wrench and I was able to get a full turn on the first 4 studs and by that time the next few studs were only finger tight..... also after about a week or so of heat cycles I took the rockers off again and checked everything. If you do your work yourself it’s worth the extra step. Trust me I did a head gasket all myself. It’s a PITA

I would start at 15 / 17 / 19 / 22 / 26 on your timing sliders.
