It's the Dodge trannys that have issues...

Highroller: you're still running a stock turbo??? Weak sauce. :1 I just got my GT42 from a Detroit 60 rebuilt, now i just need some 220v and a garage so I can get the twins on my beast. Stupid moving to Alberta... :X

JD: Cool too know about the boost control on the VGT in the 240, I may try that in the future. Not the KA-T but the VGT

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

Goforth's got an '03, it's been through two rear ends and one transmission. I don't know the particulars on it as I'm not a glow-plug head, but it's a manual trans if that matters.


Sweet. Since you're diesel folk, what years do the Borg S372 come on the 60-series? It replaced the 42R, didn't it? Do you know any details of turbine AR, BW part numbers, etc?

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

stockish, next step will be bigger turbo and sticks >:D

That trans doesnt suprize me but what the ---- is he doing to the rear diffs, I've seen guys go into 10's on 35's with 4dr one ton trucks and still have a stock rear ends ???

I dont know :P

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

One of the 80-100 horse reflashes with the usual minor DP/exhaust upgrades, and he drives the wheels off of it. And it is a 4dr 1 ton truck. :P

theres a thread with my cab lifted off my frame here somewere when the arp headstuds went in if you interested in diesels now :P

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

nice!!, did you get your head gasket fixored?

Hows Alberta treating you? What are you doing there?

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

I don't know the year for sure but I believe it was around '01-'03, they never had the 42R, just the journal bearing 42 (which is what I have) Now from all of them that I have seen (both in the borg and the garrett) run a T6 foot print, in the 1.2x+ AR. My 42 has a 1.38AR T6. So for use on anything smaller then about a 400cid motor you will probably have to change the hot side. I will ask some of my former truck shops about bw part numbers. I also have a holset HT60 off of a Cummins N14, which is bigger yet. I would Say S476 area.

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

Groovy, anything you can find out would be appreciated.

I've seen a couple different flavors of S475 in the ~$520 range with 1.30 T6 housings. Makes me want to do a 408 in a Mustang.

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

Yeah got a stock cummins .5mm overbore HG, ARP Studs, and 60# exhaust springs, 4K kit, and some custom sticks 6X16 sticks. Now I just need to find time to put it all in. Alberta is Flat, Windy, and I currently have no Garage, if this wasn't such a good opportunity, I would be back in BC in a hart beat. I am learning the Mobile/Heavy Equipment, AC/Heating business in hopes to start my own thing (again) in a couple years in Kelowna. I am going to try to move again (still in the Calgary area) before the snow fly's to a place with a garage, or if this snap on BS gets dealt with by then, I will just buy a place. As soon as I get a garage, the dodge will go under the knife. I have been toying with the idea of getting a CJ-7 chassis, and swapping the dodge drive train into it, as the dodge body is nothing special, and I am assuming will need a fair bit of work to pass prov inspection.

Re: Variable AR turbine
 

I have that same thought everyday with the HT-60, I have access to a built 355 (forged rods, pistons, crank, 4bolt mains, world industry heads, ect...) just needs an intake mani, and I need a chassis, tranny, and time. The last one is the killer as I have too much on my plate as is. We will see what the winter / spring brings.
