Thats what Iam thinking, but it never hurts to get some info from others, I just cant believe the varried opinions I have gotten...the injectors is the one I didnt understand...correct me if Iam wrong but more fuel equals more power and more heat, correct or am I way off base here?

 

sorry man for some reason i thought you already had a turbo. I would definetley start there. i dont even see 52 psi out of my 62/12

 

Thats what I thought but I aint the sharpest tool in the shed....

 

i heard something about this a long time back. IIRC it gets to a point where the amount of fuel being put in gets to the point where it can't all be burned and actually starts to cool the cylinder a little bit. i think that's how it works but ain't for sure on the deal.

 

52lbs of boost! Yeah, your livin' on borrowed time with that tiny huffer. Without head studs, you are also REALLY risking your headgasket.

35lbs of COOL boost will net you way more HP than the 52lbs of HOT boost you're getting now.

an intercooler and/or water would help, but the problem is the turbo. 52lbs is way way way off the efficiency map for that turbo. No ammound of water or intercooling is going to cool down that air.

On the bigger inector cooling the cylinder deal... The extra fuel that can't be burned in the cylinder gets burned in the exhaust. That's where your black smoke comes from. To get enough of that unburned fuel in the combustion chamber to cool it, you're either going to "put the fire out", or you're going to create so much smoke that the truck would be undriveable.

For my .02... call a professional turbo organization like Industrial Injection or High Tech Turbo. Talk to someone about where you are and where you want to be.

In my opinion... it appears that you've got plenty of available funds. If that's true, you should certainly investigate a proper Twin Turbo setup.

Hope all that came out right....

I wish this were the case, thats why Iam looking for answers before investing money I dont have into something I dont need. I have looked at Twin turbo set ups but they want a fortune for them, I have only hit 52 a couple times because Im affraid of trashing my turbo...but it seemed abit high to me. Does anyone know anything about Garrett turbos? That is the turbo that has been reccomended to put on my truck. But I have no idea what Iam looking for...How do you know if your getting what you need?

 

Who recomended it to you? I woudl call a GOOD shop/ turbo manfacture (I can't spell for **** today) and ask them what they think you need. You can give them all your info on what else the truck has... What you want to do in the future... and what you use it for. They will get you hooked up!

 

I trust who told me to put a Garrett on it, Im affraid that if I called the manufacturer they would just want to make a sell and may not shoot straight...so far driving like my grandma is working, but getting rather old hehehe
I figure who better to ask than people with a common interest, it's got to be better than the manufacturer.

 

Garrett makes awesome turbos, and so to Schwitzer, holset, borg/warner, turbonetics, etc. t3/t4 is a popular combo for a twins set-up.

Honestly, I can speculate that you should get "this" or "that"... but it could be a trial and error process finding one that suits you... Both HTT and II (that I mentioned above) are stand up companies. Talk to them.. figure out which one of them you trust the most... buy a turbo... try it out... they'll work with you on "tuning" it to your tastes.

Buying turbo's is like a suit off the rack vs. one that has been tailored to you. There's a LOT that goes into turbo design and selection.

Also, let me address the "they just wanna make a sale"...

I've yet to hear of II or HTT pushing or pressuring people. They love power and going fast. They're both good companies and I belive that you will be glad you talked with either one.

 

I was thinking about a garret for mine until I saw how much one cost$$$$ maybe the guy I talked to quoted me hi, but because of that I decided against one. Look at industrial injection they have a nice selection to chose from.
