So how is the fueling on these higher output DB2? Are they capable of getting good fuel mileage for normal driving and just put out more when you get into it?
I don't seem to have the same problem with cooling that other people have. It may be that I have a 2000 enhanced engine. And also I have a manual so I don't have to cool that hot transmission fluid. I tow also and never had a problem with the coolant temperature only the egt's.
What kind of intercooler are you using? I pickup up a spare core support in the junk yard that I've fitted a second gen Dodge intercooler and a 2004 Duramax radiator in. Looks like it's gonna work pretty good.
You want regret doing the DB2 swap. I enjoy my truck so much more since I did my swap.
I'm very interested in how this wheel turns out. Was there anything to indicate what make the wheel is? I can't imagine it being a true Holset at that price.
I just looked up that part number and it does have a 6mm tip height. From what I can find it that anything bigger than a 5mm tip height will require compressor housing machining.
All the 6 blade wheels that I have found had a taller tip height. They can't be used without machining the compressor housing. Keep us informed with how it works. That would be great it it does.
I thinking about machining my turbine housing to fit the larger 10 blade HX40 turbine wheel.
