    Max Hp Capacity of an LBZ vs LLY Turbo?

    Ok, sounds like I will just keep the stock charger then! I'll have to get it ported and cleaned up and then I'll toss it back on...and enjoy vanes that actually work! lol We will see if I end up doing the compound setup or not - I would either buy a used charger and fab my own, or (and what...

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    Just did a drive down the usual section of freeway with my GF's Cummins - SOB got 15.3 mpg and it felt totally fine?! Then when I actually tried to get good MPG and set the cruise at 58-59mph vs 62mph, the damn thing got over 17 mpg... EGT's always stayed cool (approx 700-800) and the truck...

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    Great idea and I did measure. Avg was about 65* all around and the biggest variation between the highest and lowest was about 10* IIRC. Jacked the trailer up and spun each wheel - the brakes are really loose so you dont even hear them drag. You can give each tire a one-handed half-assed spin...

    Max Hp Capacity of an LBZ vs LLY Turbo?

    Good to know thank you. I did compounds on my Cummins I had and I absolutely loved them! I wouldnt being doing studs and gaskets until it pops though - not looking for anything crazy hp wise - just 500whp that runs cool would be good with me...I've got a race car with 1,500hp that can put a...

    Question: Triple Turbo Reccomendations

    Why not run a G42 and a G55? Or a 68 and an 88? Should spool a lot faster than your single and be a little less plumbing than triples...?

    Max Hp Capacity of an LBZ vs LLY Turbo?

    I've got my LBZ torn apart right now for sticking vanes, and I'm considering trading a buddy for his LLY turbo. I would port it and clean it up, but otherwise it would still have stock wheels in it etc. I'm wondering what the max hp difference is between the two? I'm considering doing...

    Stuck Vanes-Does the Edge CTS2 Reading Desired Vane Position or Actual Vane Position?

    2006 LBZ with 280k on it. Long story short I pulled the turbo out of my truck last weekend and as I expected, I found the vanes were stuck. (If you want the long version of the story and the battles I've been having towing - feel free to read...

    LLY twins? Or bigger VGT?

    sub'd. Currently have my turbo out for stuck vanes and considering grabbing a used S475 and fabbing up compounds. I miss my Cummins with compounds...would pull anything. 700whp and EGT's were never an issue...coolant temp on the other hand...I always had to back out of it on long hills because...

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    Also I did tear apart the truck to be sure - trying to leave no stone unturned. I found out the unison ring was pretty stuck. I tried to move it by hand but it wouldnt budge. I had to pry it off with a screwdriver. It was stuck about half way or maybe a little less than half way (like the vanes...

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    I was wondering the same thing - thinking it was some kind of fueling issue. Rail pressure will hold steady under WOT from about 10mph to 100mph+, and Injector balance rates are all well within spec. To make things more interesting I towed a buddies 24' enclosed trailer (same height and width...

    Motec vs Bosch

    I've got a liberty that's shifted with air so I'm not sure how the Alli would work - would be really interesting though.

    Motec vs Bosch

    Hey Guys, I currently have a Bosch ECM for my LBZ project but I'm really worried about the user interface with tuning the Bosch - not to mention you need to buy all Bosch sensors and I dont want to have to bring a spare of everything to the track. The Motec looks like it will do all of the same...

    LBZ: 1200* steady flat ground towing

    Resurrecting this from the dead - I'm having the exact same issues and I'm driving the same damn roads even. Did you ever find the problem???

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    It seriously felt like it was trying to tow a house. Like all the brakes were being applied. (Yup I did check brakes and nothings hanging up) Yea 5" straight out the back. Dang it - the one thing I didnt check was timing. What are you (and should I be) expecting? I'm not crazy right...

    LBZ: LbZ new turbo no boost

    What made you replace it to begin with? Want more power or did you have problems with the stocker? Also how long did it take you the first time? I believe I've got missing vanes in mine and am thinking about pulling it this weekend...not stoked.

    LBZ: LbZ new turbo no boost

    Starving for oil doesnt break shafts though... it would be scored and the bearings would be roasted. You didnt leave a 10mm deep socket in the intake did ya? :rofl:

    High EGT's, no smoke, full fueling, and vanes working - WFT?

    How can a (basically) stock truck have 1300* EGT's while cruising at 60 mph on flat ground with a small trailer and not be blowing any smoke? Sorry for the long read, but it's got me stumped. My 2006 LBZ 280k miles (285/65-18's, 5" exhaust, EGR blocked, and running a hypertech on level 3) has...

    Compound Turbo Setup for 1,500whp

    That sounds like a pretty wicked setup! I wish we had room for a 3rd snail - but as it is I'm already trying to figure out where/how to package a lot of this stuff... We are switching to a Motec standalone and one of the things we will have is a turbo speed sensor on each one, so it would be...
