OK, guys, I'm curious: Are there any wheel/housing upgrades I can put on my Wastegated Banks turbo(TE06H) to increase boost throughout the range? My rebuilt engine has headstuds and will have a lower CR(~18.5), so I should be able to handle like ~20PSI of boost.
The stock turbo won't get me there -- 15 max, at higher RPMs. I'm looking for some way to upgrade it so I can increase my boost throughout the range -- for example, I can only get about 5PSI at 1600RPM max, increasing to 10-15 in the 2200-2500range. I'd like to somehow get 10PSI at 1600RPM, and hit >20PSI up in the range(I figure I'll use the wastegate to keep it at that 20PSI at that point.

Any thoughts/options?

 

You will be able to get plenty over 20. You can get a more efficient wheel, but you wont really notice anymore boost without more fuel. Your banks as it is will hit 20.

 

have you turned the ip up? boost is related to fuel it's not all in the turbo.

 

If you really want an increase, i would personally be looking at an altogether different turbo. I wasnt impressed by the HX35, but alot of guys like them. I would look at something like the S256, or S258 or even S360 depending on how much fuel you are looking at.

S256 and an intercooler would be a very responsive and efficient setup for a 90cc pump. Then again, the banks will do 20psi well enough that the IC could easily make up the slight loss in efficiency. If you are looking at a 110 or bigger i would consider another charger.

 

i would personally be looking for a whole different engine lol.if you want "power" leave the old idi behind.they'll do anything "needed" with the banks.if not,she probably needs a tune up or you need a more modern truck with not just more engine,but more overall weight rating all the way around to go with it.
only problem is those pesky payments.
