Turbo talk

[79jasper]

Hx40's largest comp wheel is a 60/86, but can vary from 58/83 and on. They also come in three different blade counts. The turbine wheel is smaller than the tp38 turbo that comes factory on the stroke at 76/64 compared to the 76.5/68 on the tp38.

I was about to say, that's a super, not a standard 40. Lol

The only thing with this, and this is from justin and i have not looked into it one bit, but there is not enough meat left in the block to just go to 1/2'' studs, and also the thought is why not go 9/16 and never worry about any problems ever ?

and @ISPKI If you want a good proven towing setup that is reliable, find an ats 093 kit, and intercool it, then adjust the wastegate to 10-12 psi and be done with it, as others have said quit reinventing the wheel and use what is already out there. I have bought two 093 kits for under $400 and I see them commonly go for under $700

I guess I don't get the logic used. If there's not enough "meat" for .5 inch (Which has been done) then how the heck are you gonna do .5625?

Not enough meat left after tapping for .5, as in some of the 7/16 threads may still be there in trying to tap, not for lack of block meat, or it may be a stark misunderstanding of me, and it just instead of just going one size bigger go 2 and be done with it?

You run into two different issues here, with going to 1/2 you have a weaker tread as you haven’t completely removed the 7/16 thread but your block isn’t compromised. With 9/16 you have very strong threads but I would think you start to compromise the block in that area, you start putting more clamping load and pull on the threads you can spider crack a block pretty easy

Ah ah ah, I see meow. Makes sense.

I was confused for a second there too. So basically, you need to go the next size up in order to achieve full bite into the new threads. The difference between 7/16 and 1/2 is not large enough to guarantee proper threading at 1/2, if you started with a 7/16 hole.

@Thewespaul Thanks for expounding on that, and bonus I learned something as well!

I just saw the burnout video of the fourth gear burnout and that's on gravel isn't it??? Because I can hit rev limiter in 4th on gravel I drive log truck roads all the time @Thewespaul if it's wet outside I can burnout on corners in 3rd or 4th

Rev n dump?

Why not switch to a metric? 13mm is ~.512 inches (uncommon af), 14mm is ~.551

 

[Thewespaul]

No that’s on asphalt, the truck is just silly on gravel

Head studs would cost over a grand I’m sure

Are the 6.9 threads 7/16-14 or 7/16-20? If they're 20, then you could tap for 1/2-20

That's really not what I am after, I have been looking for an ats093 turbo but they are very rare and expensive in my area and I'm not having alot of luck finding one on ebay for a decent price

 

[03wr250f]

Ebay is where they go for top dollar. ON many of the facebook pages i am on including ford idi diesel enthusiasts 83-94, Most people will ship them, and they go for anywhere from $600-900 with $700 being the most common, I am saying that for a great turbo setup that rally doesnt require much thinking, and is stupid reliable and makes pulling wonderful, there is a simple answer, or you can spend $1200 for a factory based kit that is nos from typ4 and have peace of mind that is is new and not used. No one is going to stop you from trying to make your own kit, but what i am saying is it has already been done, fits the bill of what you are asking and is not that expensive.

I Also want to point out that a Banks Sidewinder kit with the TE06H is a really good 'mild' setup which will make your 200-220rwhp on a stock pump no intercooler needed. Plus, it sits less over cyl #7 and is easier to work on.
I have both, and I honestly prefer the Banks piping and position of the turbo.
I've towed with both rigs, and honestly... more boost, more fuel, more power = more better.
Both kits do just fine up to around the 250 rwhp level, and around 200rwhp+ is really nice for towing in the 8k range - 70 up moderate hills and keeping up with traffic; downshift going up long grades and maintain 55+
