They support well over 400hp on a Cummins so I see no reason that those turbos wouldn't work on even a heavily modded idi. On a heavily modded idi, it would provide insane spooling and decent top end power. I'm not sure what the compressor map of those turbos look like though...

 

Yes

6.7's use the VGT. 5.9's use the HE351 non vgt.

 

This is going to be a rookie question for sure. Does the way a wastegate actuator lend itself to being used as a boost referenced controler, does it not "actuate" uniformly enough to be used as nozzle controller?

 

That can be an issue due to the spring not opening linearly. This is more of a problem when the vanes slam shut as that happening can cause the turbo to bark. One way to prevent the turbo from being destroyed over time due to turbo bark is to actually add a blowoff valve. Another method that could work as well is either using a double acting air cylinder run off drive pressure to open it and a regulated amount of boost to close it. I plan on using a boost controller to bleed off the pressure so that the drive pressure overpowers the boost slightly to open the vanes. Another way would be to use a single acting air cylinder. One side is controlled off boost or drive pressure and the opposing side is a spring in the cylinder. Do some research. There is actually a lot of info out there on these types of setups.

 

Oh semantics, semantics

If the HE351CE didnt have such a small exhaust housing (9cm) it might actually be a good turbo. The VGT 351's housing can range in size from 4-26cm

 

how much did that pump run you? do you have a part number so i can find it on the napa site? i searched for it but found nothing.

 

it was around 150 ... bk 6102400


had to clock the turbine side again...will be running exhaust through the engine bay...should be much easier. ill coat it and wrap it all so it keeps the heat somewhat contained.

the holset has a "t4i" flange and i diddnt feel like payin 40$ for a flange so i picked up a 8$ T3 flange and cut the corners off so the studs/bolts would fit.



should be pretty east to run into IC from this location



also the oil feed line is a odd one...required a m12x1.5 straight thread metric o-ring fitting on it





got the e-pump mounted and some of the exhaust welded up...needing some 2.5" v bands before i complete the exhaust

 

Fender stack... Tell me its in the works???

 

Its coming along man. Are you still using a NA Y-pipe in the setup then?

 

Yup, tryin to keep it simple.

Wondering what I should do with cdr tube tho...any suggestions? RDT? I have a lot of blow by

 

ended up not being so simple LOL here is how it had to bend and go all sorts of weird angles

waiting on 2.5" vbands to weld on to make it a 2peice set up...then ill wire wheel it, high temp paint, then wrap it all

here it is



i got the oil feed/ drain hooked up (drain into the lift pump location is a little tricky with the vbelt set up...hope it works) , fuel pump hooked up, just need to make then intake tubes, hook up heater hoses and vacuum hoses and CDR....should be running tomorrow night

 

Lol, good thing you got that vgt housing...

 

Lol. Braden's install should look much smoother haha

 

If you have a lot of blow by go with the RDT. I prefer going into the filter but to much blow by will make an oily mess in there.

 

Did he start yet?
