my free boost
So I was at a wedding and was talking to my father in laws friend who is a diesel mechanic about our trucks and what I had done. I told him everything in my description and he told me to get a few more pounds boost to shorten the shaft on the turbo blow off. So I got out my spare turbo someone gave me and played with it figured out how to do it without taking it off. I just backed off the nut and put a pair of vice grips on the rod and cranked for awhile till I had it tighter. The results 30-31 pounds of boost and WOT instead of 28-29 I was getting quicker spooling less black smoke and probably 150 degrees cooler cruising at 65. I was running close to 800 degrees now it's around 600 maybe a hair more. The whole time I was testing I barely got it over 1000 degrees used to hit 1200 pullin hard easy
I am very happy with the results truck is way more responsive can't wait to haul wood this weekend see how it does.:choochoo: So is there anything bad that can come from this? turbo sounds a little different |
Pinch of your wastegate line and you could probably get about 35ish.
|
I'm glad your happy with the results your getting. Kinda risky just twisting on the shaft. There is a strong chance of tearing the diaphragm in the W/G pot. Sounds like you didn't, congrats on that. Try pinching off the hose, you'll get more.
|
I have an adjustable boost elbow down all the way isn't that the same as pinching it off? but I'll throw a pair of vice grips on later to see if it makes a difference.
|
I wouldnt of wasted your time with a hx or hy they both are good til about 33 psi, i believe.
|
Mine makes 35-36psi on stage 10 on the ADR with a plugged WG line.
|
any more than 35psi and your out of the map on the hx and just making hot air.
