Wheel Results?

[POWDR]

I know you were testing the different wheels out there and I believe you were finishing up soon. I don't have a Facebook so was curious to know if you will be posting here?

Thanks for taking the time and money to run these tests.:thumb:

Russel is still getting everything organized. Last I talked to him a week or so ago he was going back to the dyno with a different setup. One thing about what he is doing is focusing alot of driving ability, not just dyno numbers. I know there are some things that he will show that should show newcomers to turbos and modifying todays diesel trucks things they would not have considered before. Hes got alot of good information for sure:thumb:

Thanks Battle. Info is good fo sho as I am just getting interested in how these turbos work and the differences between the tons of choices.

Just when I thought there was no love!!!:thumb::hug:

I'm still in the process of testing. I was on the rollers yesterday running another 63.5mm wheel and doing lag/drivability testing.

I'm still getting all my data together so I can give my findings and recommendations which turbo works best for your giving situation.

I was getting closer but a friend with a rather large pickup brought up some good points that got me thinking!!!:thumb:

Thanks guys for speaking on my behave, I didn't see this thread.

I pm'd you back early POWDR.

So excited to hear and read all the results Russell:woott:

 

[POWDR]

^^^^^^ Yup! I hear ya! He has put a lot of time and effort into this- it will be pretty cool to hear his feedback:thumb:

Thought I'd give you guys a quick update.

I decided to test all the wheels in rolling acceleration from a corner like if you were turning onto a road or on ramp. I did this both with a trailer and without. I data logged them all as well so I can/could see/feel the difference.
I also recorded steady state conditions towing on flat round going 65mph.

Just figured some would be interested. I've been putting this on all my social media sites as well.

Very cool.

Being I'm still waiting on 2 more 63.5mm wheel's I'll give a preview of what I've got so far.

What my setup is;
2003 CCLB dually, 235/85 tires(AL wheels)
230hp EFI Live tune
Built Transmission
Dually Kennedy Lift pumps
Kennedy Mega Filter
4" Exhaust; 3 1/2" Downpipe
4" Intake
Ported/Polished stock intake horn(Opened up to about 3")
Ported/Polished Passenger & LML manifold; stock up pipes
Ported/Polished IHI(Obviously)
3" Hot side intercooler tube
Stock Y-Bridge & cold side tube
Stock injectors; about 3100us pulse & 31* timing
Stock CP3; holding rail at 23k psi

The 63.5mm wheels would make more power but I'm out of fuel. I video all of my dyno runs and both 63.5mm wheels have very clear exhausts when you watch the videos.

Enjoy,
Yellowchevy

No worries Brock, you can repay me by buying a turbo!!!

Thanks for the effort and posting up.

I couldn't imagine all the time you have in this, but I bet it doesnt take long to swap compressor wheels anymore. Very nice work! :thumb:

 

[PureHybrid]

Yes, good info.

What kind of dyno? Seems stingy to only run 488hp on a modded turbo. And are your EFI tunes done by you?

 

[minerigger]

What'd you find for driving results with the stock size wheels? If I get my hands on an lb7 it will get one lol...need to find one cheap

 

[OregonDMAX]

Yes, good info.

Its not the total HP number that he's trying to show its consistency and difference between each setup.

Good job Russell I made a good choice on my combo I think.
