Thread: Help, my 12 valve keeps getting faster....
Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by Camp
Hmmm......#100 plate and a new turbo.....with exhaust brake.....soon to be installed. I'm thinking I need to find some different gears and a 6-speed instead of the 5 speed and 4.10's

I dunno, your old one wasn't a slouch. Of course, if you'd just kept it you wouldn't have to build another one now either.

It's not ready for the dyno and I don't see it making much hp even when the new set up is dialed in. I'd be shocked if it broke 300hp. It won't be anything next to my last truck but, I did only pay $1500 ...

Yeah, but now I have an ultra cool paint job that is continually flaking off the truck, making the prep work for the next paint job even easier
Besides...

Gotta ditto that....I'll be grabbing a high mileage '98 12 valve in a couple of weeks. Wanna keep it cheap, but make it fast
post up the pics!!!
My buddy put a new turbo on his 12 valve and 370 injectors, 4inch exhaust, I forgot what fuel plate, and he is at 500hp, 1200 ft.lbs. crazy fast.
Doesn`t take much to get power out of a 12valve.
I rode in John`s truck at Holland court Diesel, it is a 24valve with twins, and all kinds of stuff. It is his daily driver, and it is wicked fast, high 11`s in the quarter mile.
It is a '95 with a 10' flat bed. It is the extra cab long bed chassis with a single cab on it. 12V, 5 speed, 4WD with 162K miles when I picked it up. The transmission had to be pulled and rebuilt as all the syncro's were wasted. Since we had it out, we put a new flywheel with the bigger clutch and pressure plate in it along with the better mainshaft and 5th gear nut. I had to rebuild ...

That turbo really shouldn't see more than 36lbs as the absolute upper limit so, I need to turn it down or I'll have another broken one. I still haven't taken apart the last turbo but, it is on the floor in the shop and I can assure you the shaft...

Also, what turbo did he put on and how happy is he with it towing? I don't want to end up with a turbo that surges when towing because it is too big for out here. What I have now should work good and I don't think I need to go for bigger injectors...
htt modded hx35? is that anything like my 35/40 hybred i used to run on my 90 ctd. it had the hx35 exhaust housing with a hx40 stuffed into it. are u gonna run some bigger injectors? mabey some 370's

It doesn't seem to leak until I get up above 30lbs of boost but, right now I can hit 35+ pounds almost instantly. I need to adjust the boost fooler elbow a little and back it down again. I could only get 33lbs before the valve adjustment but, last night it was having no issue blowing by 35lbs I'm confused....
