I just bought a 1997 e450 superduty 32ft rv and plan on towing with it at 25k gross weight. I have added gauges, 02 van turbo, bellowed up pipes, 3 in intakes, 4 inch exhaust, e-fuel and bowl delete, and 120v idm.
1)I am trying to decide between a ww2 or rr to help get my bottom back from the bigger turbo swap. I have read that the WW2 was better than the rr6/6 in the van turbo in the lower rpms spool up but haven't seen anything bout the rr4/4...other than: Per Clay the 4/4 is a smidge quieter and gives a smidge more boost vs 6/6". How much do the wheels weigh? I've seen ww2 is 5.5027 oz or 13% lighter than oem.
2)I don't want to do the 08+ front clip so I am planning an a2w intercooler to combat compressor heat but haven't found a big enough heat exchanger yet that makes me happy, so I probably will end up with 2 in series maybe 3. I would like one to be the size of the radiator but only 1 inch thick, but I think I might be dreaming on that one.
3)I AM swapping my edge ez/banks trans command(both previous owner) for a ts 6 pos chip or a dp product? with live tunes as soon as assembled. I believe dp has a more capable chip than ts but I would be limited to the one tuner which I don't like. Who all sells the ts with lifetime reburns that are worth it? I am leaning towards php. My dad keeps pushing swamps.
4)I'm pretty sure I have ab injectors (from my research and ill pull a valve cover soon to confirm). I am thinking about swapping to ad's but concerned about egt's. Ad's seem to be the easiest injectors to get ahold of from a salvage yard or auto parts store if I had one fail on the road, which is why I wanna stay stock type sticks. I've also read stock nozzles are better for towing due to better atomization.
5)This brings me to med/big oil. I want as much down low as possible to get the rigs weight going. Is there such a thing as too much hpop for this combo? I dont see anybody talking about doubles on stock injectors other than loping/wandering idle and ipr duty cycle issues with 2 iprs so I think that is out. Did the overdrive ever get an ok for daily driving? srp1.1 have had some catastrophic failures which leaves terminator my first choice as of now.
6)In the spring I am considering a sd pcm wiring 4r100 swap when I do a 4x4 conversion.
A)what is the best model to get the pcm from?
B)Are there other supply sources besides ujointoffroad.com for the 4x4 brackets etc.?
Is there any positive suggestions or anything missing from my list that will help with getting the weight rolling and keep egts in check?
