Ya, Even with the huge injectors those would take a lot to spool. Try to find out The displacement of the Truck it's coming off, and if you can find it, find the Exhaust CFM.
Those will tell you if you can even get it going.
Sounds like a great project though!

Good to know!!! I was thinking it would take a bit more to get to that level... now you have me itching to go to work so I can make the money for this ASAP. Did you have it on the dyno with that setup? If you did what were the numbers... I don't expect to be the exact same as you but a benchmark number would nice to have.

IFFFFFFF the turbo would even be effecient with the engine, the mounting would be completely custom made, if even possible. the mounting for those turbos IS the hot housing flange/ports. the uppies would have to be modded to adapt to something that would mount to turbo to flow the exhaust as well as handle the weight of one of those beasts. oil lines is the easiest part. you would probably have to make hood/body modifications for it to fit. you would need an intercooler for sure. IMO, it won't happen. sell it like mentioned before, if it's a CAT turbo, sometimes the core charge is more than a reman turbo to tune of a few of thousand dollars.

awsome vids, i love where it blows the exaust extention off. although not to be critical i dont see the point of modifying an 7000lb truck for racing a stock 5.0 stang can run high 13's stock. still very cool, but im not going to put that kind of money into my truck, mods i do are more for fuel effeciancy and better load handling

I loved those videos too! Thanks Luke. Sorry about the no pictures thing... turns out I can't get a hold of a camera for a bit but I did just go out and measure the turbo. The compressor wheel is about 75mm and the exhaust is about 92mm. I'm not quite sure what that means for my truck and was hopin you guys would have a little more knowledge on the subject.

Oh well it was worth a try at least. BTW what are the upper acceptable or streetable limits on the turbo size if a guy wants to use 230cc or even 490cc injectors? The H2E works well with the 230s but what about a big turbo from Swamps or off a semi for the 490s? (not the same turbo as the one we were just talking about obviously)

I guess you have to ask yourself what your going to be doing with the truck. When you start talking about bigger turbo's many of them are not for all around work (towing,sled pulling, daily).
I've heard very good things about the holset h2e as an all around good turbo. It handles well in towing situations and if you want to really put your foot in it.
