lol, i went from a Acura Integra with 300whp and 290tq to a ram with 35s and stock gearing..
Deffanitly interested to see how this turns out!

 

Swap the gearing and fix the KNOWN problems.. Be happy with it.. These trucks aint dragsters.. And they surely aint a little rice car like you guys are used to.. If you miss that go back to one..

 

lmao, i don't have thousands to spend atm.. and i am well aware these trucks are not dragsters. It was just a comment, taker easy bud.

 

Its just annoying seeing threads like this all time.. They pop up so often with people who say they want to do this and that and it never happens.. You can have a truck that will hold its own for not a whole lot of money just by doing a few things...Probably one of the biggest things that will wake these trucks up can be done for around 1500 bucks.. And they arent that involved like a turbo is...

 

If you really want to put a single turbo on it then go with a remote turbo setup. Thats what I have been contemplating.

 

When you letting the cat out of the bag? Is it $1500 pixie dust?

 

With a stock cam you're probably gonna need to be up in the 350hp range to make that TQ, at least that's what I've figured from when I had it on the dyno. That's likely where I'm at right now with my new setup.


These engines do have cam sensors. MS3X will run it out of the box.

HX35 is too small. I'm using about the smallest turbo you'd want to use, an HX40. It's a 60mm compressor and the turbine is basically p-trim sized (I'm even using a P-trim turbine housing I machined to fit).

 

What about doing two small turbos? Just run twin turbos, two small ones like GT15s, one for each bank of cylinders. It'll simplify the tubing, too. Just one downturn from each turbo to the exhaust manifold. Plus, being small turbos, you'll get the high power and torque at lower RPMs.

 

Do gears, plenum, headers and exhaust along with timing chain and a tuner. Won't be a drag truck but will hold its own against trucks of the same era and some newer ones..

 

Thanks hahns5.2 I'll look into the ms3x . And I'll see if I can find a hx40 at a fair price does anyone have a good clutch company they recommend I'm really not use to domestic car company's and I'm not sure who to stay away from , allso diyautotune sell injectors there brand is desio (sp) I don't remember how they spell it but are they good I know dw gives you flow charts of the injectors you buy . My plan is to have this finished by fall time . I'm also doing the single because stainless steep pipe is not cheap with two turbos I'd do a duel ex plus then its doubble the intercooler pipeing ,have to buy two turbos plus oil lines , with a remote mount its not something I want high snow or mud plus a turbo and intake under the truck won't be good allso the turbo will heat up the trans more if it's too close .
