Owner of the truck is channel name @turboedhardbody

[@KevinPerez-cx4qh]

[@cristiansantibanez1640]

Never thought I'd see Johnny Knoxville in a hardbody lol

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Cristian Santibañez hahahaha 😂😂😂

[@06basecobaltls17]

A hardbody was my first vehicle. I've always wanted to get another one and do something cool with like drag poo r track truck. Awesome to see you guys doing this.

[@CatchMeOffroad]

JD B Very cool, thanks for the positive feedback! You should definitely look for one since they are so cheap right now.

[@Jeannie-c4z]

I got one for sale

[@GearsAndTech]

man, I thought he was backing up crazy fast, then I realized I had it on 1.25X playback speed.

[@PDofLA]

FINALLY! A 2017 KA24E-T Hardbody video! And it is not filmed with a potato camera! AND it is not just revs and power burns. Wanting to boost the KA,,,,but also leaning towards the SR20DET, But if the KA can hit this hard,,,,,Hmmmm! Transmission? Turbo Used? SO many questions! Then I see this is "not" your truck and the owner (Turboedhardbody) has no uploads about the truck. :(

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Ok sorry about not having more info, I don't really know a lot about the truck...and I now live 4 hours away from him so I don't go over there often. But I called him as soon as I read your comment and got a little more info. The turbo is a Holset HY35 which came factory on the old Cummins 6BT engines in Dodge Rams. He modified his stock exhaust manifold by cutting the outlet off and welding a flange for the turbo. The transmission is the stock one. He had some issues with the original one, so me and him swapped it out with a rebuilt one a couple years ago and it has been holding up well. The truck does not get driven often, but he had it at a track last month. He estimates around 300-350hp at the engine, and with the truck being so light (it is pretty stripped out) it hits hard. Hope that answers some of your questions, let me know if you have any more. Thanks!

[@PDofLA]

Thank you! Did he just slap the turbo on the engine with the stock internals,,,or rebuild with updated internals? Fuel management? Injectors,,,,pump? Does he plan to place anymore videos on the little on his account in the future? I hate to bother you,,,,but you guys should have known you can't put a Turbo Hardbody video up and "Not" expect to get slammed with questions. LOL!

[@CatchMeOffroad]

hahaaha I should have known! Stock engine, has forged crank, pistons, and rods. Stock pistons can only handle 10psi on a good tune. He is running 18psi now. Fuel system: Mazda RX-7 460cc injectors, Walbro 255 fuel pump. Ignition System: Stock

[@PDofLA]

THANK YOU! BIG TIME! Hope your bud does more videos on the little truck.

[@CatchMeOffroad]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@AwesomeDocumentary]

I want this done to my 95 hardbody. Do you think he would be willing to help?

[@creek_made]

That driving is hard to watch at 3:30. Geeeez.

[@DarrellHargroveOG]

[@eddysandoval2068]

Nice truck i was wondering what is the cost for something like that and if by any chance i can get the info from ur mechanic so i can do mine

[@rontate7719]

moar specs ,speed ,data etc?? 0-75 mph time?? Rolling 45 mph to 80-85mph time? Fuel consumption? Clutch ,tires type?? Thanks fer thu vid

[@TurboJonathan]

Sounds like you need to upgrade your fuel system now, (not getting enough fuel) causing it to sputter or could use a tune up.

[@evanmastermind]

Video starts at 3:30.

[@johnholland3476]

Wonder if adding a hi/low range system on back of. Tranny ,then have 5 low and 5 high gears ,

I apologize for the delay, I am still trying to get a video made of the turbo setup. Just been really busy with other stuff.

Is this in Tennessee?

[@CatchMeOffroad]

No, it's Indiana :)

[@NightKnight1776]

how do you get your vehicle to make that noise when you shift? or let off the gas? is it the type of turbo or somethin?

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Brandon Wallace Yes the truck has a big turbo on it, and that's the blowoff valve you hear

[@NightKnight1776]

i hear the shifting noise like this all the time and im young but if i ever build a vehicle i would LOVE this sound with whatever part it is to be honest

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Brandon Wallace haha sounds like you need to get a car with a turbo then!

[@muhammedq9109]

How many psi can I get away with without tune ?

[@thediddly]

Mine is running 7psi on T25 with no tune and pickup injectors

[@ufukcapraz7549]

@@thediddly Hello there. I also want to install a turbo for ka24e hardboy. I have a newly built engine with stock parts. I will use stock ecu and stock ignition system. I am thinking of using 5psi, is it safe? Is your turbo ka24e still working

[@thediddly]

@@ufukcapraz7549 5-7 psi is most you want to use. Injectors are maxed out at around that point. No problem with a Air Flow Meter at that pressure it seems. Also best to use something like a t25, reason is cost, practicality and availability. Also the turbo is designed for that range of pressure. That t25 i used was from sr20det, so on KA24E, the response was beautiful as engine in bigger. Full boost by 2500rpm!

[@ufukcapraz7549]

​@@thediddlyI can not find, unfortunately, T25 turbo I live in Turkey, I find it more precisely, but 3 months of my salary t25 to invest I need: (So I need to use domestic brand turbocharger.Now when I use the actual I was 5 psi stock engine with Can use for many years without any problems? are you how long you use I do not build a race car, I install a turbo on my car that I will use daily, so the durability is in the 1st plan for me. will I need to use an extra oil pump and oil cooler? Do I need to give the output of the turbo directly to the throat body or do I have to disassemble the throat body and put it in the suction of the turbo. Sorry for translation errors. No one who KA24-T in Turkey that information so I can not reach. Can you give me an Instagram address to get help where I am stuck? Or my Instagram address is "ufukcapraz" and I will be glad if you send me a message.

is it me or do we need a driver MOD or a new clutch.....

[@CatchMeOffroad]

LSX KING lol definitely new clutch, but driver mod wouldn't hurt haha

[@Curtis1900]

Are you running the stock block or do you have forgered internals how much boost you running i wanna boost my ka24e

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Stock engine, has forged crank, pistons, and rods. Stock pistons can only handle 10psi on a good tune. He is running 18psi now. I'll try to make a video of his engine setup next time I get a chance.

[@Curtis1900]

I see so you gotta get better pistons if you want to go higher than 10 psi

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Correct, according to my buddy who owns the truck. He knows the ins and outs of these trucks and engines. If you have any other specific questions, write them here and I'll get an answer from him.

[@Curtis1900]

I got a lot actually I have a 96 d21 that I'm getting ready to turbo. O have a stock ka24e did he build the enegie or is some parts forged stock. What kind of turbo and manifold is he running and does he have a standalone ecu or piggybacks

[@mauricemotors8207]

Curtis Spencer I think* a KA in healthy condition will hold maybe 10psi stock after that idk lol

[@lextheprince9317]

Driver needs to be taught how to drive stick

[@exxusdrugstore300]

Sounds like you're running stock clutch, between the short clutch throw and the long shifts it can be a bitch to shift fast. Of course all these jackasses in the comments will call you a bad driver without even having experienced one of these trucks.

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Yes your statements are accurate, it's harder to get it into gear than most vehicles (plus the clutch is super sensitive). I'm actually the passenger in the video, but my friend who is driving is a very good driver and has owned that truck for over 10 years. Thanks for the feedback!

[@exxusdrugstore300]
