anybody ever logged back pressure in one of the truck turbo setups? i think i'm going to do mine one on hot pipe another on the down pipe.

 

I havent but I will if the new setup ever gets to moving. I dont think ive ever seen anything about one in the DP tho?

 

just curious as to why you have a concern about it? do you think you are choking your motor?

 

Kind of.

not sure what is doing. i want to find out though. i want a new cam and i want to see what the pressures are before i buy one.

i want to log the downpipe to make sure that's not where the back pressure is from. if that makes sence.

 

totally understand...ill try to find a build thread so i can see what your working with..

i know i dont have an ls based motor, but i do know some turbo stuff

 

this was awhile back >> https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...check-out.html

 

that part is easy, stock 5.3l with p&p ls6 heads and patriot springs. stock gaskets and arp studs, 2003 ls6 cam. its got trick hot pipes and a tc78 with the f1 68mm exhaust wheel inside a .96 A/R housing. it has a 3" downpipe to a 4"diesel exhuast with huge magnaflow muffler.

you had some pretty good back pressure there. what turbo and exhaust side (wheel size and A/R) did you have on there? hope its less for my 5.3l.

 

My front mount was a log style manifold, but with a split scroll T-6 housing. I can post up more pictures and information on my EBP set-up

 

sometime i wish i could get a t6 housing for my turbo but i can't. i want to find out about a bigger housing for mine though.
