Re: turbo task force

Any updates? Really keen to see how you got on with your new intercooler set up.

Thanks,

Joe

i will get some pics of it but it seems to be working fine, i did swap to a S491 turbo from work turbochargers. I dynoed again and it did 840 on 15 psi. (pump gas). Looking at the data log its flowing just fine up to around 16 PSI (1:1) then it starts need a bit more pressure on top of the wastegates to make any more boost.

Right now I'm swapping in a "turbo" cam and the BTR shaft rocker setup. Still had pretty dismal results at the track which i believe is how tight my converter is. I cant build much more than 1-2 psi on the footbrake and its 60' is in the high 1.7's.

This trans has not skipped a beat since 2017 but I'm going to swap to a different converter (higher stall) and throw some nice billet parts in the trans while its out getting refreshed.

1320 video came up for our cash days event and there's a couple clips of the truck in there. Wide variety of cars on a poor traction surface.
