the '01.5 project is moving along pretty good (pics coming soon!). i have the wheels/tires on, the juice with attitude, and tonight i put on the banks monster exhaust and the exhaust brake (plummed, controls not yet installed...just put it on since i was doing the exhaust). i can actually feel the power difference the exhaust gives in the seat of my pants. the juice with attitude increased the power certainly, but the low/mid range power with the new exhaust brings a smile to my face. im surprised/mildly disappointed in how quiet the exhaust is. im not running a cat and the banks muffler is straight through (if i had girl arms i could literally reach all the way through it) yet it really isnt much louder than the stock exhaust. when i straight piped my '05 it was so loud that it was downright offensive, but the '01.5 is actually quite tame (volume wise). i dont want the truck to be offensive like the '05 was....the '05 would give you a literal headache when towing my camper....but i would like a little more growl. i dont see how the muffler can be so effective when its literally straight through, but it is. any suggestions/recommendations? my EGT (measured pre-turbo since edge recommends that) typically ranged from upper 700s to upper 900s on the stock exhaust and now it ranges from the lower 700s to the upper 800s. i expected more of a decrease. are these temps normal? on setting #5 when i accelerated relatively hard (still havent gone WOT for fear of killing my tranny...gotta get a DTT) my fuel pressure dropped to 4 psi which edge says is the bare minimum. im not comfortable running so close to the minimum, especially since ;i havent even gone WOT yet. the lift pump is new (installed two months or so ago) but im losing confidence. who has the best price on a FASS? ...i can see that this is going to get expensive.

I'd yank the muffler off, and see how you like the sound then. Your turbo is still doing quite a bit to quiet the exhaust. Might want to get a bigger one of those :) > lower 700s to the upper 800s. i expected more of a decrease. are these > temps normal? Yep... you're fine there. You could have a 12" exhaust - your restriction is still the little stock turbo. But, you don't have to start worrying until you see 1250°. > lift pump is new (installed two months or so ago) but im losing > confidence. who has the best price on a FASS? Haven't priced them out in a while - but I think it's one of those products that's pretty much the same price no matter where you look. If you get one, get the full system - not just the pump by itself - the one with the external filter and water separator. I love having a fuel filter that will filter down to 3 microns, and can go 30,000+ without changing. Plus, it's much moe convenient using the water separator on the FASS than the stock one. > ...i can see that this is going to get expensive. Figured that out already, did'ja? :) > Your turbo is still doing quite a bit to quiet the exhaust. Might want to > get a bigger one of those :) i started to order one from banks, but on this page http://bankspower.com/products/show/269/9 it states: "Please note: The Quick-Turbo will not fit 2001-2002 models with the HY35 turbo (automatic transmission, 235-hp rated engine). The quick turbo will fit the 2001-2002 models with the HX35 turbo (manual transmission, 245-hp rated engine)." ok, WTF is a "HY35"? i have the 47RE. is this another designation for my tranny, and if so what turbo CAN i use since i do have an automatic? > you don't have to start worrying until you see 1250°. this is PRE turbo, right? > I think it's one of those products that's pretty much the same price no > matter where you look. where did you get yours? thanks tom, Nathan In Montana http://ConcealedCarryForum.com > ok, WTF is a "HY35"? i have the 47RE. is this another designation for my > tranny, and if so what turbo CAN i use since i do have an automatic? No, HX35 and HY35 are Holset model numbers for different turbos. I didn't know there was a difference based on what transmission was in the truck. Check out BD Power - http://www.dieselperformance.com >> you don't have to start worrying until you see 1250°. > > this is PRE turbo, right? Absolutely. 1250 post-turbo means your engine is already goo. >> I think it's one of those products that's pretty much the same price no >> matter where you look. > > where did you get yours? I honestly can't remember. Disregard what I said above... looks like EBay has the best prices... $526.30 w/ free shipping. >> ok, WTF is a "HY35"? i have the 47RE. is this another designation for >> my tranny, and if so what turbo CAN i use since i do have an automatic? > > No, HX35 and HY35 are Holset model numbers for different turbos.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Nathan In Montana > http://ConcealedCarryForum.com A popular and low buck swap for the auto guys has been getting used HX turbos from the standard trans guys who are doing upgrades from the HX. I doubt I remember correctly, but I think the HY was a 9 housing and the HX was a 10 or 12? I also don't know if the wastegate is an issue with the swap. I don't know why Banks limits their application to manual transmission trucks. You might want to give them a call. > the '01.5 project is moving along pretty good (pics coming soon!). i have > the wheels/tires on, the juice with attitude, and tonight i put on the [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > muffler can be so effective when its literally straight through, but it > is. any suggestions/recommendations? If you want more noise, pull the silencer ring out of the turbo. No gain in power but it sounds a bit betterimo. > If you want more noise, pull the silencer ring out of the turbo. this a big deal to do? thanks, Nathan In Montana http://ConcealedCarryForum.com >> If you want more noise, pull the silencer ring out of the turbo. > > this a big deal to do? Thinking back a few years, no, it's a piece of cake. It's right there when you take the intake hose of the turbo. IIrc a small screwdriver under one end of the snap ring and work your way around. I, for some reason don't think I used lock ring pliers. Probably 'cause it there were no holes at the ends of the ring. Anyway after the ring is out there is a dish type baffle with a hole in it that you remove. You can not miss it. Once removed, your turbo will have a nice whistle to it.
