    SXE 363/68/.83 + 200/30 hybrids?

    Kowboy thank you for taking the time to write your experience with the S363. We're going to try a 363/68/.91.

    SXE 363/68/.83 + 200/30 hybrids?

    65 psi, 3200psi, iirc around 40% duty cycle. No exh leaks, no boost leaks. As I see it the 80mm turbine sucks for spool up.

    SXE 363/68/.83 + 200/30 hybrids?

    Helping to build an all around farm/tow vehicle. It's a 2000 F350 that has 4.10 gearing, locally built 4R100, reg return, Tymar intake, 200/30% hybrids, SXE 364.5 w/ 80mm turbine and .91 housing, and a Hydra with Jelibuilt tuning. That's how the truck was purchased. With a hot street tune the...

    Core shift cyl #2

    I don't see how a core shift on a rough casting would lead to a finished bore being out of line. It would either clean up or not. I would say bored out of line better describes this. It would be interesting to know how Navistar actually machined these and what the actual true position on the...

    Question for all tuned automatic truck guys

    I got a set of tunes from Brian during his Black Friday sale and at least with mine the trans shifting is nearly identical to Cale's tuning and it drives very well. BTS trans though. Those are the only two tuners with whom I've gotten good trans strategy from. I would have stayed with Cale...

    6.7 starter in a 7.3

    How does the 6.7 starter compare to a genuine Denso unit? Working on a truck for a friend and the original starter is way past due for replacement. I can get her either one for about the same price.

    Upgraded Power Steering Pump Installed

    I know the pump fitting is M16x1.5 as I made my own. Not sure on the booster, I kept the stock lines on mine. Pretty sure Lee Power Steering can hook you up with the correct fittings if you give them a call.

    Electric Vacum Pump Conversion Finished

    Since converting to hydroboost my vacuum pump only worked the HVAC controls. For years this worked fine and I never experienced any issues with the mechanical pump. Relocating my power steering reservoir next to the a/c compressor led to me looking to make some more room in this area. Taking...

    Upgraded Power Steering Pump Installed

    Wanted to update this thread with a change I made concerning the p/s reservoir. The one I custom made worked well but was just too far from the pump and resulted in a loud buzzing or hum in the cab. Looking things over the only real alternative was to mount something next to the a/c...

    Who has had 180/30 or 180/80 for towing

    Besides being quieter there is no blue haze on startup with the hybrids. Power wise feels about the same. EGT's are considerably cooler across the board in all situations. If this were just a street truck then the 175/100 would have been fine. But for towing there is no comparison the...
