    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Completed everything and she started up better than I expected with no issues.* I've only driven the truck to work one time and my wife drove it around like usual today.* From her perspective, she sees no difference.* Now, what she doesn't know is that I determined pretty quickly on my drive to...

    2001 7.3 4x4 needs more hp

    Make sure you don't have any boost killing leaks from the spyder boots or up-pipes. Do you know how much PSI is being generated?

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Got it all buttoned up today. Decided to take the "hard" road and remove the RiffRaff billet plenum and break the seals on the T500 pump to install the new version CNC Fabrication HPOP lines. They seem to be significant improvement over the first gen. Truck is ready to start, checked for diesel...

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    LOL That's how it works in America! I tell you how great some stuff I bought is and you go and one up the stuff I bought :toast: I sure hope there is an improvement, the firm I bought from is 1hr away and seemed pretty familiar with powerstroke stuff. They also have the best pricing at $551...

    I have 366SXE/1.0AR coming in next week. I'll follow up after the install.

    totally get the rpm reducing egt, just 'splainin when i see higher egt. Yeah, 1250 sustained is hot from what I've been told.

    I have in the past but don't recall specifics. I'll do so on the return tow trip.

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Probably the right choice. Current should be there fastest spooling of all.

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    That's the question. Is the 74 vs 68 turbine worth much in egt, spool? Selling the current turbo, I would probably be spending about $400 to make the switch. Just towed, 300 miles yesterday and it is only high EGT when lugging in 4th at 50mph. 1250 or so. Never high anywhere else and clean...

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Gong from the 364.5 with a 68 turbine to a 364.5 with a 74 is in question. But if we collectively agree that alone is worth the expense and effort, then would going to a 366 be a better choice for overall performance? Would It be wise to us a .91 or 1.00 AR? Recall that the kit came with the...

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    The 364.5 I got from DP as part of their pre configured kit is the smaller 68mm version with .91AR housing. I suppose it will spool the fastest of any other combo.

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    This is the line of thought I had. A bigger turbo includes an element of guessing and it could make towing or stop n' go driving worse. It's a bit of money and effort to take the gamble. Probably leave well enough alone until more 'evidence' is available to support trying it.

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Ah yes, sarcasm, I did miss that and thought you were bashing the 38R. I had a 38R and towed a lot with it. Always was unimpressed with low to mid range compared with the modded stock turbo and the noise of it was too much. As it turned out, with about 15k miles it started leaking oil out the...

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    I do not disagree with the leave it alone statement! It is far better than the 38R and work very well! I'm not interested in buying the 366 if it isn't going to clearly improve overall performance over the 364. There may not be enough time with the SXE's yet, but thought I'd put it out there...

    364.5 SXE to 366 SXE worthwhile?

    Currently running the "small" 364.5 SXE with 68mm exducer and 76 Turbine wheel with .91AR housing as that's the kit from DP and I didn't know any better at the time which was a year ago. I've been wondering with my injectors and other supporting mods if the 366SXE with 1.0 AR would be worth the...

    SXE education request

    I got my kit complete from DP tuner which turns out to be the 364.5/68/.91 and it does spool quick empty or towing. EGT's aren't an issue at all. 1023 tuning is the best I've tried. I don't generally drive aggressive so the "lack" of top end power this turbo doesn't have isn't an issue...

    175/80 idle haze

    I've got the same injectors from PIS. I had some of this initially and over time it went away. First, give it some time. I had hazing for a while after install and it went away by 150 miles. The remaining hazing was twofold: 1) 38R and 2) the tunes. Tunes are critical. I had custom from...

    Merry Christmas to Me!

    That much injector should make a big difference! I bet the 364.5 will do fine. Worst case, swapping a 366 or 369 isn't too bad by the time you pimp the 364.5... Check out 1023 tunes, I bought 4 and they're the best yet. Enjoy the head studs in chassis, I bet they'll be fun! What is the...

    364.5 Arrived

    Finished a great weekend and can report that towing was easy. Cruising at 65mph EGT's are 800. Staying in OD and accelerating up a rise around 1700rpm I'll see 1100 degrees while borderline lugging. Definitely no issue on that drive but not nearly as challenging as the PNW Mountain passes or...

    364.5 Arrived

    We are loading up this morning and getting ready to hit the road in a couple hours. Looking forward to the drive and of course the tours and whatnot in Savannah!
