well moved my old girl in to the shop, to day, got the hood off, water pump radiater is out and off, vc off, ready to put on a t500, going with rosewood stage 2, di pushrods, comp 910 springs, arp head studs, an ic setup off ebay i got. o also t4 mount from irate, and a s366 turbo to top it off... chip is out and getting mailed to beans in the morning, also have my bean fuel set up to add, hopeing its a way diffrent truck with out the sd injecters in it.. ill keep you posted and picks o also a big thanks to steave and jim thanks for your help guys!!

 

Outta run good. I'm happy at the moment with my ad's but I know the power difference from the aa's to these was big. I can't imagine going to 250's and a charger. Not to throw you off any but it may be worth going to a 238/100 hybrid to cut on oil usage. And the fuel is there if you wanna use it.

 

Damn did you win the lottery. LOL

 

Jason, that's some combo your throwing at it all at once. It should be a awsome machine after your done. The only thing I wondering about is that it would be interesting to see what each mod does if added one at a time. I can certainly understand you doing them all at once, good luck.

 

Hey, which intercooler setup did you get off of eBay?

 

haha no i wish, i did win like 6 grand back this summer in ok at a casino,been buying parts for a while now.

 

put in 1996 powerstroke, it was 899. shiped

 

yeah been trying to decide the past few days 2 or 3, iam going with 2 now, do to the s366, i think id rather run 2s wide open ***** to the wall than have the 3 dilaled down, with a t500 oil should be no problem, but i will let you no, my other 7,3 seting is beging me for 250, and a s472 ... if i do it wanna put that moter in a reg cab 4x4

 

yeah i was going to do them one at at time, but the water pump is out so seamd\ed like a good tome to do ic and hpop, and while the hpop is out might as well do the eletric fule, and if you do that gotta have them no injecters in with push rods and springs and gp, so see i didnt no where to stop so i said the hell with it and do it all with in a few weeks, the only thing i may wait on is new turbo, not sure but may take the s366 and have a batmowheel added, ill have pick with it all goiung back, got the front striped tonight and raid out

 

That setup sounds SWEET! but I agree with Glenn Im partial to see how the power gains over time... but I guess I like that since I am stuck that way... due to money. Stupid college.

 

I have talked with Bill Devine @ Bullseye Turbo quite a bit about the Batmowheel.. Long story short, he will not you a Batmowheel unless you buy the whole turbo from him. I wanted to upgrade my S400 to a Batmowheel and he won't do it, but he will sell a standard billet compressor wheel to me.

 

yeah i found that out to.lol talked to jonathean at beans, we have almost same set up, he is putting down 525 with a d66 and 238.... so now iam not sure what the hell to do lol.. i think ill wait on turbo see how i like it with new injecters and all than if i dont ill go to the t4

 

Lol

Let me know if you change your mind I'm really in no big rush

 

will do man, ill no 1 of the year if iam stay d66 or going to the s366, jonathan said the 366 takes more to spool, and like i said he is makeing 525 with almost same set up as me, ill let you no though was did you want turbo and mod ped? i have a stock turbo with a banks wheel also?

 

To get that kind of power out of a D66, you will need an external wastegate to relieve excess exhaust pressure. If not the backpressure on the turbine side is going to go insane. I don't care how amazing anyone says the D66 is, it still has the STOCK... Read... STOCK turbine wheel and housing. The STOCK wheel and housing cannot flow near the exhaust volume that a properly setup S366 would.

If I really wanted to, I could leave my STOCK turbo on my truck, put wastegates on it and spray it with enough nitrous to make 550-600hp with hybrids... A couple people are doing that with D66's. It's your decision.

IMO you'd be better off with the T4 mounted turbo and selling the D66. This gets you tons of options. Tons of turbine housing combinations you can use, tons of compressor side options, center sections, etc.

People are making close to 600hp with S366s and S466s, but yet the D66 and GTP38R are running out of gusto in most cases around 460-480hp, unless an external wastegate is used. Why might that be? All those turbos have 66mm inducers on the compressor wheels, so why does the stock replacement 66mm turbos run out of muscle so quickly...

The S366 wouldn't take crap to spool with stage 2 or larger injectors. It will take a fuzz longer b/c the turbine section will have a larger wheel in it to make it capable of flowing enough exhaust for your power goals, unlike your D66.... It will not take much longer though if the turbo is spec'd correctly for your setup. Sounds to me like he made it sound like the S366 would take forever to spool in comparison to the D66 and that is not true.

I should say, I've never run a D66 and have nothing against Beans or the turbo. It is simply my opinion that a STOCK turbine wheel and housing has no place in high performance endeavors. They will work for getting mid 400's, but backpressure will get out of hand and you can get more from the T4 mount and turbo options.
