I understand that, but the difference for me is between getting the center housing machined, and also not having a backup turbo in case anything happens to the one I'm trying to mod
So, I've been toying with the idea of an intercooled hybrid turbo setup for the winter. I know most people will go with an actual HX35/HX40 hybrid, but I've been looking into doing a WH1C/HX40 hybrid since I can pick up the turbo itself for fairly cheap, and get a 60mm wheel and housing from...
I didn't think to bench test the new starter first, cons of being soaked and wanting to get the job done with I guess. I'm really not trying to take it out again, since it was a bear to do the first time. As for load testing the batteries, that's on my to-do list for this weekend
It clicks, which is good because before I changed the starter out, it wasn't even doing that. On the matter of fuses, all of them are good. I'll check the voltage at the terminals as well. And no, I haven't tried rotating the engine by hand yet.
So, about a week and a half ago, my starter decided to die. I ordered a brand new AC Declo one, and put it in yesterday. After charging the batteries AND boosting them with another vehicle, we still couldn't get her to turn over. All of my connections are tight, and all of my fuses are good, and...
Well I tried charging it, but i realized i was hearing the fuel pump priming the system, and not the starter solenoids clicking, so I think I've found the starting issue
Well I went to start it today after it sat for a few days, and after the glow plug cycle, she just pooped out and clicked. I think I've got a voltage drain somewhere, since I put in some new lights, so time to go check the wiring there....
Looks like it might be time to try my hand at making a data logging cable, if the stock actuator doesn't work out. We'll see what happens with that. I'm not going to be driving it enough until this weekend to get any results anyways
Hey all,
Over the past few days, I've noticed that my truck has been harder to start whether it's cold or warm, and that I'm not boosting as much as I was as soon as last week. I was pushing 22psi, and now I've gotta force it to get to 15psi.
I've considered that the issue might be a bad ops...
From what I've seen and have been told, I'd have to get the backing plate machined to accept the larger compressor wheel. Price wise, 14cm housings are between 120-180 from what I've seen, and the new wheel and comp housings are around 260 from what I can find. It seems I'll be spending roughly...
By the time I get the blade and comp side of the hx40, as well as get the CHRA machined to accept it, and find the elusive 14cm housing, i'll have as much into that hybrid as I would if i went and got the hx40 and everything needed to install it. The tune will be changed, but that's easy enough...
So, I've come to the recent realization that my HX35 isn't really cutting it in the airflow department, so I'm considering upgrading to a slightly larger turbo. I've got two options, both of which have similar prices to me right now; a genuine HX40 with a 16cm housing, and an ATT. Either way...
