Glad to see you're back, Chris!! I knew you wouldn't stay away! lol

I said the same thing in one of his threads- He needs a built tranny, and not just a shift kit and bigger cooler. His transmission is not meant to handle that much power. It's going to go boom real soon, which sucks. Then he'll be down waiting to have it built, the right way...

what site is jose at?? and what is fi is that the whole site name i did a search for fi and nothing came up but some investment company..

yea only thing that'll break on my truck is either the motor or u-joints.. those 2 spots are the only weak link on my truck now.. and the u-joints can break for all i care that's only couple hundred v.s. thousands for a tranny/motor hehe

soon as i get boosted that motor will be the next priority i want to get it stroked out to close to a 6.0L motor if i can, and double the boost
i've been the first titan truck into the 13's and 12's now i need to get this 5k lb pig into the 11's

That might be true but up here at 7000' I blew up 2 journal bearing turbos in a row. The impeller speed is at altitude is much higher. My tune along with everything else was spot on. The water cooled BB T76 cured my problem.

Very true, they can be easy to over spin up there!

FI is forcedinductions.com, they deal with every turbo under the moon. They are familiar with all types of platforms and sell turbos all around the world.

That would be similar turbin speed to running 20psi at sealevel but I only get the power of 10psi Lol. Kyle runs a Master T76 with a small exhaust wheel that seems to spool up fast, and survive at altitude. I think Master has a water cooled housing avaliable.

Negative on the MP water cooled housings... MP only makes oil cooled, journal bearing housing, and they seem to hold you very well. I haven't had a failure yet.

But I can get the turbo your running

the T-70 says it's capable of

650-800 Crank Wheel HP (which should be about 510-650ish after drivetrain loss)
For the serious competitor only, Turbonetics offers custommatched and custom-built turbochargers designed to get you across the finish line first! Designated the T-Series, this turbo family incorporates the latest “state-of-the-art” turbocharger aerodynamics and the toughest durability available to the maximum performance engine builder. With a wide range of flow capacities (HP58, HP61, HP64, HP66, HP70, HP72 and HP76) capable of supporting 550 to 950 HP with a single turbo. All T-Series turbos are custom built to your specific application and include the TURBONETICS Big Shaft components. Dynamic seal is standard, but carbon seal configurations are available (see below). Your choice of STG. 5, P, or S trim turbine: .58, .69, .70, .81 or .96 A/R “ on-center” and a full range of tangential style turbine housings are optional (see page 47). S trim and the patented Turbonetics’ Ceramic Ball-Bearing option are also available.



what trim should i get 5, p, s?? someone mentioned a .81 AR earlier would this work to get me up to 650 rwhp even if i remote mounted this where the bed meets the cab of my truck underneath??

I don't want it too laggy but i also don't wanna choke it off with too small of a A/R cause i eventually want atleast 650rwhp..
