I,m wanting to buy a kc turbo 94.5-97 kc -tp38r for my f350. It seems that people are buying the hydra chip & getting PHP tunes. Does anyone know of live tuning after this is installed? I would like to get the best out of the these add on. I have not phoned any of the venders yet. Thanks for any advice Friskyjake

 

I've been trying for a long time to get live tuning. If your fortunate to be near a live tuner then go for it. I have a hydra and a 100 hp PHP tune, its awesome. Four other tuners too.

 

what other mods do you have?

A low of 347 & a high of 356 hp,I ordered this truck in Nov. 94 received it I April 95. It,s a beautiful truck. I,m interested in that new KC turbo. Mine has never been rebuilt.

I ordered this truck in Nov.94 & received it April 95. It now has 349000 kms {220000}miles. The turbo has not be rebuilt & maybe that new KC tp38r turbo might be the ticket?

 

Drop in turbos are a half way alternative. You might be OK but a t4 turbo will be better everytime. You will have to do up pipes at some point and a t4 kit will fix that at the same time.

 

I,ve all ready done the up-pipes so this new kc turbo should do what I,m looking for, I don,t want anymore power just clean burning & fuel economy & dependability seeing as I,m 81 years old Thanks for your input. Friskyjake

 

Still wrenching at 81? I'm 66 and trying to hang on, lol!!

 

Yes I,m still working on cars & trucks. I,m a retired pro wrench & welder,& I believe that it is good for the brain & the body. I,m lucky to be healthy. in my other report I had forgotten to say I have a DC welder under the hood of my truck, & a Miller Ac DC in my shop. There both stick welders & very smooth. Oldbird 1965 it would be nice to talk to you via phone. If you e-mail me a # I,ll call when it would be OK. [if that is OK by you]. ozziefriesen@yahoo.com

 

I have new ACs, 6.0 IC, TP38r and a Hydra with PHP tunes. I'm loving that combo. I do some light towing. EGTs are low, 15 to 18 mpg towing the trailer and 20 to 21 when not.

Thank you for your reply, METO. My choice will be a KC-tp38Rturbo. I know it is very new turbo with not many reviews but I,m going take a chance on it being very good. I,m waiting on Charles from KC to get back to me threw my friend Bill in northern Calif. My live tuning will be done in spring in Wash. by Jody from DP tuning. Excited OH yes. I wish there was a phone # for KC turbo to contact Charles. If someone knows it, please send be a PM. Thanks again . Friskyjake.

 

need some more posts before it shows up in User CP on the site

 

Best way to contact Charles is by email, he is a busy man. He will get back to you. You could also ask Corey at CNC Fab. Very helpful and he is the only guy who sells the TP38r.
