Default Twin turbos on a 1993 cummins

Hi I have a 1993 dodge d350 with soon to be a 5 speed not the nv4500 the other one I forgot the name of it if anyone know please help me remember the name. I have a hx35 Turbo on it right now witch turbo goes best for this one is what I need to know. I have looked around and I think I need schwitzer ht3b turbo but I'm not sure if that is right. I'm new to the cummins I'm doing a lot of body work and suspension work I'm about to have the 5 speed in it soon right now it is an automatic. I'm thinking about head studing it as well to keep it reliable is there anything else I need to do to make this truck twin turbo and relable? Thank you I wanna learn as much as possiable about these engines and what to do !

Getrag.


How much fuel you run will determine what primary you want. Studs and o-ringed head are a good idea to keep it all together. Make sure to get a 13" clutch. Second gens came with 12.25", first gens came with 13".

An ht3b goes well with the hx35, but so do a lot of other turbos. The links I posted all showed a little bit different setups. What you plan on doing with the truck will determine injectors and primary turbo, etc. What are your power goals and what are you going to do with the truck?
