Sounds abt average on price. I don't know what I have into mine... Hp would depend on what s400 and tuning.

The Gaskets looks a little high. Have you though of getting an Alternate firing cam? Also I would look at getting a set of Fingers pistons.

I would suggest fingers pistons as well but otherwise it looks good to me!

 

[moparkxracer]

Good call on fingers pistons.. Missed that.

 

[DirtyMax97]

What s400 big single turbo should I run. I am definitely getting the finger pistons also.

 

[Chevy1925]

what ever YOU want. we cant tell you what you will and wont like when we dont a know a thing about you . time for you to do some research on what would suit you

 

[DirtyMax97]

I was think maybe a billet wheel Billet S363 with .83 ar t4 divided with a big Billet S468 over the top of the smaller turbo. I think that should be enough air

If I had your build list, I would forget a big single and go twins.

S468 is not a good turbo to put as the atmospheric charger in a twin setup. Smallest I would ever go would be an s480.

 

[mike diesel]

The s468 how ever would be a great turbo as the high pressure (small turbo) turbo in a twin setup:thumb:

 

[DirtyMax97]

Do you think that set of twins I just mentioned would be enough to support the truck or would I have to go bigger

No I don't think so. You would want a bigger exhaust turbine and housing for twins, the the compressor housing wouldn't move enough for it to be compounded. As said before an S480 or S483 with an 96mm wheel and 1.32 ar housing would be recommend for the low pressure turbo for your S363 or S366.

I was looking on danvilles website and found this tubro
Batmo 88mm S458 96mm turbine T4 1.25 a/r. I think I might run this as the big charger!

 

[Chevy1925]

smh... this is going to get interesting

 

[CaptPhil]

Won't work without changes.

Would work, just tell Mark to put the normal T6 housing on it or you will have to get custom piping to work with the T4 foot. This turbo started out as an S400 and they put the S500 turbine wheel in.

 

[DirtyMax97]

Okay any other turbo setups you guys would recommend for this build.

Get the engine done first, worry about turbos after you have paid the 20k and see if you still want to do it.

Triples, S366's/S472
