Hey ya'll, finally getting around to start saving for a turbo set up so trying to find out how much i need to save and for which one. Recently got the trans. fully built and all my parts for a intercooler install (running a 6.0 intercooler with a E99 spyder) , head studs will also be ordered within the next couple of months. Trying to figure out what would be the best option turbo wise for what my needs are. Truck is a DD, no towing as of now but will be pulling 6k a couple times a year in the next or two. It will be doing alot of runs on the 1/8 and 1/4 mile track and that would be the most important point (I can deal with some lag). I have been looking at swamps sledgehammer turbo with the hypermax mounting. Also was tossing around the fact of possibly running a D66 as i could purchase that alot sooner (problem is i hit 45-46 psi on just the street tune before the intercooler install). It says its 500 plus hp capable and i know the spool up would be instant (better for DD) but could it handle 250cc hybrids? Truck will also be getting water/meth injection down the road at some point. Looking to get some advice from ya'll on what set up works the best. Also i hear running a S4 series turbo requires some massaging around the turbo to get it to fit? End goal is to have a 12 second OBS As always any advice or input is greatly appreciated!

 

I'd do s467.7 fmw

The d66 would have to have a external waste gate in order to run those kinda numbers.
Face it the d66 is still a stock turbo.

 

What he said^^^

I honestly don't think any clearencing to fit it is going to be needed...we will see soon lol

 

The s400 frames do require a little firewall work but it's worth it

 

I have read mixed reports on that. From my measurements on my truck/mockup engine/turbo I am not seeing where the issue will be.

 

How does the sledgehammer or BFH turbo from swamps compare? Does that S467.7 use a hypermax mount? If not what mounting kit do i need? Any specific S467.7 i should look at buying? Also where can i get one from?

 

The problem with the hypermax kit is you are very limited to turbo.
Go with a t4 kit and turbo options are endless.
The s467.7 is good for 500hp and will give good street manners.

 

Check irate for the whole kit.

 

There's lots of diy builds on here to. I think there is one on its way and another just starting ^^^

 

Checked Irate and found the whole kit with a S468 turbo, any difference between the S468 and 467.7? It says the S468 is good for 700rwhp? It looks like the best priced kit out there for my needs. What rwhp, and ft llbs is normal for a S468 and 250cc injectors set up?

 

Also will my E99 intake spyder work with a S468 turbo?

 

Nothing you have now will work.
You can get everything you need from Jake at irate for around 2500-3000
Get the s468 with race cover

 

S468

Otherwise known as a 467.7fmw..it only comes with the race cover...and its freaking huge Lol !!!

Ask me how I know...

 

You wouldn't want to choke that hoss by using the puny e99 anything!!

It ALLgoes away!

 

So the only intercooler parts i can reuse is the 6.0 cooler itself and piping?
