Stainless Diesel 5 blades...

[jliddle]

I know that SD is big in the Cummins market but has anyone had experience with their 5 blade design?

They claim lower EGT's as well as big power, I believe they claim that they're ridiculously loud as well.

I'm in the market for a 467.7 and they offer one with a 5 blade. I for one don't know if a 5 blade wheel is worth an extra few hundred bones..


Thoughts?

Just remember that the five blades may flow more up top but may not flow as well at low shaft speeds as the other blade designs.

We have one on our pulling truck. It made good power but lasted 2 pulls and needed some replacement parts. I have driven a truck with a cast wheel 467.7 and it drove awesome. Much cheaper than an fmw.

I too am interested to hear from more guys running them. I'm in the market for a new 2.5 pulling charger this season. And I've heard a lot if guys swear by them..but I've talked to a company that said they put all their 2.5 and 2.6 titles up against them..

I will sell you ours after next weekend. It is new, will only have runs from rudys on it.

I will be at Rudys as well.


It's a $500 up charge according to their website lol.

Also curious about surging issues.

I thought someone said Rudy's didn't have a 2.5 class.. I maybe interested but I doubt it's legal for out strict rules in Full Pull productions.

Rudys runs bob rules for 2.5

Contact 03Blk Max, he ran a five blade 75, I bought it from him but I haven't got my project going yet. He said it worked well.

100 percent correct! I'm not sure about stainless diesel turbo, no experience with them personally. I think they had some good running trucks in 2014 season though

The 5blade was designed around the idea of compound setups, compounds actually operate in slower shaft speed conditions this being said the SD 5blade actually carries higher shaft speeds than other wheels out there, many competitors claim exactly what is said here "that they flow less at x level" wrong. The 5 blade carries and comes into transient boost faster and easier. That's a bad sales pitch.
After a lot of testing it was found that they work exceptionally well as singles also.

The 5 blade 2.5 had many wins all across the country including several points championships. This charge is Mark Broviaks choice of 2.5 when it comes to itpa,COTPC, and several other place rules. With hours on hours logged on the Dyno at Danville it has proved itself time and time again. Along with a lot of other Dyno tuning shops across the several state area here in the heart of pulling country.

As a standard street driving charger they drive amazing, a high the loudest whistle you've ever heard from the s3/s4 platform.

I ran a stock cast wheel, a billet 11 blade and now a 6 blade. All across the board the 6 blade seems way better. Maybe the light weight helps spooling? I dont know. Is a lot louder also.

As Trevor said, the 5 blade 2.5 is my charger of choice because nothing else has done a better job on my engine dyno. I haven't gotten to drive one on the street yet so I can't answer that for you. The way they dyno I can only guess that they drive awesome on the street!:thumb: They are stupid loud also!

That they are!

Last time I contacted them about buying one, they wanted an arm and a leg for one and they also wouldn't sell the "install tool" that apparently is needed. I didn't want a wheel change to turn Into a $1500 ordeal.

As the nut is intergraded into the wheel it takes a special install tool to do so, without damaging the wheel. The cost of the tool would be more than the wheel itself.

Also its best to be assembly balanced when installed, as is done when the turbo is sent in for the upgrade.

Retail is $499 for the upgrade.

So for $500 one could send a regular 67.7 FMW in and have the wheel upgraded then balanced?

Plus shipping costs obviously
