Turbo options
I was towing my buddies old 76 pickup on a trailer last night up some pretty long inclines, not bad hills though. it was putting a decent load on my turbo and it was making a cherping/ screaching soung. so i called a buddy on it and he said it's bearings going out. which makes sense. now my question is should i have the turbo rebuilt? or should i go with something after market? if i go with an after market, what should i get? currently it has a DIY intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, and a superchip. (i'll put a post in the quote section also) if i go with something other than stock, i don't want to have to do injectors rightaway, but I'd like it to be able to support a stage 1 or maybe a 2 later down the road. thanks in advance.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- i just checked how much shaft play there is, not quite 1/16" side to side but there is a little mor than 1/16" in and out. not quite 1/8" though. |

Other then that the best turbo for what your telling me would be a 38R... If your looking for one of those post up in the sponser section and see who you get. I know Dennis had some, but I bet some of our sponsers do as well. |
if it is surge, wouldn't i be able to feel it? and the truck is a E99. so will it bolt right up?
|
E99... Nope, you will have to convert everything over to a Late 99 set up. So now you have two or three options...
1. Have your E-99 turbo rebuilt, but I dont think there is an issue with it, you do not hear the bearings go out. 2. Buy up all the parts to swap to a late 99 set up and run a 38R 3. Get a T-4 or T-4i mount kit from someone and bolt up a H2e or S300... You will not feel turbo surge, you will hear it. |
ok. thanks. now for the things i need for the late 99,do i need the up pipes, exhaust Y pipe, pedistol?, intake spider pipe,intercooler pipes,......? or what? or for the T4 or T4i mount kit, do those come with everything needed less the actual turbo? i know ats sells a kit but they want $3,100 and your first born. and i try not to support them. who else sells those mount kits? and between the 38R, H2E, and S300, which is the best all around? i do alot of towing. and the ocasional lead foot to the next traffic light.

really all will do you good, the 38r will probably spool the best, but the H2E you'll never have to get rid of you can just keep upgrading the turbo

Re: Turbo options
They make the D66 for the E99 too
|
i want good tow power. i've hear good things about the 38R, but i don't want to have to get all the other parts to make it work since i just had to have the e99. i found a H2e complete kit with turbo for $2400. is that sound about right?
|
Thats not a bad price, but you can find kits cheaper then that... I built mine...
And Joebob is right, I forgot about the D-66, its a direct drop in for the E-99... But like I said, I dont think there is anything wrong with your turbo. |
ok. i'll see what i can find. and as far as mine goes, having that much shaft play is ok?
