Ddp4’s and 20 deg timing with a cut fuel plate was a pretty standard 425 rwhp tuneup with an hx35/12. I always get more power with the wastegate working than with it blocked off. Love the testing! Wish you all would have set the dyno to try to have it hold a specific wheel speed and just kept cranking in throttle until a particular egt was reached and seeing what that power was. I hope you have a super hx40 to test. I found those things do really good on egt control.

This is exactly the video I’ve been dying for. I have a 95 3500 175hp pump. I’ve got all the mods you’ve got except afc live. I’m still with a zero plate. I have been eyeing up the k27 for my replacement but after this video it’s not going to cut it for the power I’m hoping for. I’m also at sea level so egt for me is much much lower

[@pddofficial]

We are still fairly conservative on the timing. We suspect the K27 might be more of an upgrade when we test it on a 24v VP truck with more aggressive injection timing.

[@twotone505]

I've probably been under estimating my HP levels for years. I have had 500+ worth of fuel with a HTT62/65-14 for about 11 years now. I have always called it 450 hp. I just ordered a 64sxe from you guys. I am hoping it will bring many smiles per gallon.

64...ohh ya!

Love the video and new information, you guys are great. What were the EGT numbers on the K27 compared to the HX35?

[@pddofficial]

In towing setting around 335 HP, the K27 was 110* cooler than the HX35 and came in at 1190*F. At max power, the K27 was 100* F warmer than the HX35 and came in at 1800*F.

[@0303banshee]

I’m surprised the K27 had a higher max temperature, is there a reason for this? Assuming the fuel is the same, I would think more air would be cooler but also it made more power and more power equals more heat.

[@RedSC]

Have you done a comparison between the K27 and the 362SXE? I’d love to see those graphs together.

I wanna see the HX35 with the 67mm compressor, that makes a HUGE difference in them.. 12 vs 16cm housings would be interesting too.. I think it could school the K27 with a few little upgrades. It's not quite drop in because of the different outlet flange, but I have a 60/67/9 HE351 in my truck and it's AWESOME, amazing spoolup and flows nice... I may build a 62 or 67mm compressor version of it

I have a low mileage 2003 HO 6 speed manual with a 3250 DD and FASS. It's had a 66mm Silverbullet and Smarty on it since 2007 and looking for a change. (Non daily driver and never tow heavy, dyno'd 470whp max effort)

[@pddofficial]

The 369SXE will drive very similar to your current 66mm Silver Bullet and will pick up power. But if you're currently running stock injectors, an Aggressor 362 will have much better street manners, make more torque, and still end up around the 500 RWHP mark.

[@evil_me]

You mentioned hot air hurting power yet I have almost never seen anyone running an intercooler between stages on a compound.... It's free horsepower most every setup just let's go 😕 I have a water to air between my compounds and it gains close to 10% because it also lowered the EGTs by 200° allowing me to add more fuel!

[@jaydunbar7538]

Space and budget are the excuses I've heard for it.

[@pddofficial]

Todd has been running interstage cooling on his GodFather Race Truck for YEARS!!! And when everything is cut out and removed, plenty of room for ice/water tank, intercooler(s), etc. And yes, it does tremendously increase air density, almost like have another turbo or an additional stage of compression.

We've hit nearly 700 HP with the K27/369sxe compound setup with a monster load of fuel. Your S475 flows similar to the 369SXE but with a less total drive pressure. You'd likely be really close to 700 HP with a healthy fueled setup.

Just get the compound kit and make all the torque power

[@om603denis]

Soo at sea level the hx35 would make about 450whp?? Im curious if the wicked wheel 2 on the hx35 would make a difference??

[@pddofficial]

Sometimes the billet wheels add power, some times they don't. Really depends on the factory aero design and whether or not there is much to improve with extended tip technology, splitter angles, etc. But usually a lighter weight compressor will spool a little faster and therefore feel better on the street.

[@glendonyoder355]

Do y'all have a Super HX40 for comparison? Don't hear of many guys running HX40's anymore, any idea why?

[@pddofficial]

They just aren't laying around or found in junk yards anymore. There is very little difference on the HX40 vs the newer HX35 hybrid variants. Mostly just different stock compressor and turbine size... which is changed on the newer hybrids, and the 4" exhaust outlet AKA HX40 outlet.

[@WhyNot6243]

At the end of this series you should do a cost comparison as well. Because if I have a perfectly fine HX35 why would I spend $300-$600 on a K27 for 25-30hp? But if I have to replace the HX35 and it’s going to be $400 and the K27 is going to be $425. Then yes the extra $25 for 30hp would be justified.

[@pddofficial]

What's hard about cost information is pricing changes rapidly in this industry and a year from now there would be tons of upset potential buyers wondering why a year ago the price was so different than the day the video was posted. From a dollar standpoint, nothing can compete with a good stock turbo that came with the truck as long as it's still healthy and functional. But, for those needing to replace a hurt stock turbo, this cost effective option is cheaper than an OEM Holset and performs better.

What would be the point of dyno in overdrive as 3rd gear is 1:1 ? I ran a super hx40 with 3pulse BD manifold on my 96 12v, also ran a full built ATS auto with 5star 5billit disk 2200 stall convertor, pump mods were #0 plate (cut stock fuel plate) slide 3/4 open, full cut Deliver valves, AFC tuned, 5inch MBRP exhaust. Truck was 1ton 4x4 ext cab long box dually

[@pddofficial]

In our experience, turbo engines respond well to load (they produce more power). So we dyno in overdrive to create more load and generally coax a little more power out of the setup. We do not have back to back numbers on this test to show 3rd gear 1:1 vs 4th/OD 0.69:1 but in the past on 400ish HP trucks, we usually see 15 to 25 more HP in overdrive than 3rd gear. On the big power trucks with over 1000 HP, we have tire slip problems in 3rd gear 1:1 whereas 4th 0.69:1, the added wheel speed helps tremendously with traction.

Heat soak plays a part on these old trucks, along with trans temp, rear end oil temp, engine oil temp, all affect friction, turbo shaft speed, and ultimately boost. We've safely pushed a K27 to 51 psi, but we do not know how long they will hang in there at that boost level, probably wouldn't last 6 months on a street truck at 50+ psi.

What was the peak EGT for the k27 on the full power run?

[@pddofficial]

1800 degrees peak for the K27, our video editor cut out the footage and we missed it on the final draft. So at full power the K27 was 100 degrees warmer than the HX35 but made 17 to 23 more HP and 3 or 4 more psi boost depending on which HX35 test run we compare it to. However, in our 75% fueling towing runs around 330 HP level, the K27 was 100 degrees cooler and picked up 4 HP over the HX35. So we were able to use almost 30 more HP (360ish HP) at the same 1300 degree peak EGT temp. To recap, the HX35 produced roughly 330 HP at 1300 EGT max with a 5k trailer loaded sweep, and at the exact same fuel setting, the K27 produced roughly 334 HP at 1200 EGT max. In a real world towing situation, the K27 will outperform the HX35 and we've witnessed this both out on the highway pulling trailers and here on the dyno testing.

@@bagged1998 If you're running a 1/4 mile I dont even look at the egt gauge LOL. 1700 is definitely hot, its likely you're running pretty dirty or your turbo is starting to push hot air. Doing a quick 1/4 run and hitting 1700 no problem because the truck will be cooling off after. Pegging 1700 on the highway is no good.

@@ridenorthwest1687 so does 7x.012 with a S362/65/14CM sound hood together? Because it's gets hot fast.

What all do you have done to this truck?

[@pddofficial]

All the upgrades (except the turbo install and transmission upgrade from this video) are contained in the previous video titled: Perfect 400k Mile Cummins. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmGkgnWPfZ2Nirs

The new best in class towing pick up! 2nd gen dodge with leading best in class horsepower and torque. Lol

Pretty much! Until you have to maintain that load for 3 minutes up a high mountain pass and the 300 HP worth of radiator kicks your coolant temps to the max.... those are the guys towing with the windows down and heater on high in the middle of summer to keep coolant temp in-check...
