I'll start looking through the turbo maps again and see what will work for me. I'm still leaning toward the t3/t4 combo for availability and for the quick spool/big boost.

Re: Drawn Through Turbo - Propane Injection
Okay talked with a local turbo place in Washington and he had me call Turbonetics. They suggested a t3/t4 e50 stage 5, .48.
Personally I don't want to be spending $900 on a turbo set up. Are there any places that sell rebuilt turbos that will have this set up?

Re: Drawn Through Turbo - Propane Injection
try blaast, who is a sponsor on here. he rebuilds turbos and has a lot of rebuilt ones in stock for sale, and can definitely recommend the right turbo to you. I'm telling you, you should really check out some of the holset turbos. There are some compressor maps on honda-tech if you do a google search for them.

Re: Drawn Through Turbo - Propane Injection
i am not a propane guru. with that said:
i did a prpane setup on a ranger that i swapped a 2.3turbo into. i blew through the mixer, not a draw through. the mixer i had a port on for a pressure signal (i.e. a tube that takes the boost from the intake and feeds is to the diaphram so it counter acts the ammount of boost the mixer sees) to run it draw through, would the vacuum shut the diaphram? unless it has this boost/vacuum reference signal port that you could feed vacuum to it to keep it open, but i dont understand w
here you would get a accurate vacuum signal from in a boost application, even if you had it between the mixer and the inlet of the turbo.
btw fwiw, i had no problems with the ranger, except for 1. i kept blowing out the gasket between the mixer and the air hat (huge *** super sticky windshield sealing tape fied that. then 2. that created the problem of it ripped out the stud that mounts the hat to the mixer out of teh mixer (its only aluminum and was hitting 24psi). 3. had too small of a tank (8 gal forklift) and not enough places to fill it.

Here is a link to the one off turbo propane set up that was set up originally in Australia. He is using a straight t4 with an external wastegate. I am deciding between a t3/t4, HY35, or HX30 and I want to use an internal waste gate.

Re: Drawn Through Turbo - Propane Injection
the hy35's are a little harder to come by because they are newer, but the hx35's that came on the same trucks in the years earlier are very similar. From my understanding, the hy35 is slightly smaller and a lil bit more efficient, but the hx35 is not far off at all, and a very popular turbo around HMT. Different size exhaust sides came on different trucks depending on the year, whether it was auto or stick, etc so there is room to play, and there is at least one company (bullydog or bulldog?) that makes a different aftermarket exhaust side also.
heres one build with an hx35

Joseph Davis is using one for is 500hp build if he ever finishes it, along with a lot of other people if you ask around
