Nice truck man. I want to do the 68mm stg2r. How do you like that turbo?

love it and highly recommend it. worse part was taking the old one out.

 

[jeepking90]

Nice, good to hear. I would be installing one now if my head gaskets didn't blow out on me :/
I bet she rips.
Hows the tranny liking it so far?

 

[John6363]

Man that sucks. Trans has been good so far haven't really beat on it though

 

[jeepking90]

Yea it's no fun.
So what cha got in the works for this beast other than a trans?

I'm going with 50% over injectors, head studs and either a dual CP3 or a single upgraded one. Idk witch one would be best yet.

 

[jeepking90]

Nice! I just ordered some ARP head studs with HG kit. Idk much about the CP3s, just started reading about em, i'm sure some of the other fellas on here will chime in on that!

What tunes are you running from Rob?

 

[John6363]

let me know how it goes when you do your HG and studs.. it doesn't look fun haha.

the only thing I really know about the double CP3s are that it splits the work load in half and if the main CP3 does fail the secondary one will then continue to work but will have all the work load. hopefully someone can expand on it more.

im running his custom ones so I have optimum stock, heavy tow, light tow, economy, and race tune.

 

[jeepking90]

Will do. almost ready to pull the cab.

That's about as much as I know about them as well haha. And that they are $$$ just like everything else on these beasts haha.

 

[John6363]

Haha you know it. Im surprised you arnt doing injectors as well while your in there .

 

[jeepking90]

I wish I could but my wallet just is not there to support me for all that haha. Plus The way my luck is going lately I just hope that the ones I got will still be good to go haha

[John6363]

With you on that one.
How much HP are you making that you blew your HG?

 

[jeepking90]

I've been running it on tune 4 which is 90 or 100hp plus. So around 450-60ish? The kicker is I've only put 3k on it since buying :/ guess that's what I get for buying a tuned truck. It's ok tho, she'll be good for more hp now haha

dang. That's just rolling on it on the econo tune? she must boogie when you turn her up. Looks like you'd be doing more spinning if you were hammering on her haha.

and hot dam does she whistle on that high idle! I want one right now! haha.

Would deff like to see her in action on some hot tunes oke[1]: :drink

 

[John6363]

Yeah I cant really get on it anymore because the roads are always coverd in snow and ice so it spins even worse. I only put it on my hot tune once so far and it spun tires in every gear going down the road.

haha I had it on high idle outside of the grocery store the other day and I got a lot of looks from people :rofl
