I know most are plenty happy with the standard BW turbo options on T4 kits, but I find the idea of going with a more primo ball bearing turbo very appealing. I've found little to no real information about anyone's experience running the Garrett GTX4294R charger, but I definitely feel its worth...

I did get my new transmission and new transfer case from Midwest. they were great to work with. I worked with both Dan and Scott, great guys i recomend them and would use them again. hopefully I don't need to!

I'm out here in CO and drive my truck extensively in the mountains, loaded and unloaded. Properly done, these things will fly up and over Vail pass. I'm running 250/100 injectors and a KC300x for my E99 with numerous supporting mods. My tuning was done by Dave back when he was still with...

Thanks guys! much appreciate that tip!

right you are, and yeeeoooow..... $4,500 bucks...

A couple of years ago while driving from my wifes family's place in Fort Worth to back home near Boulder CO I blew up 5th gear (OD) while making the 15th full throttle pass on Highway 287 for the day. After driving home in 4th I pulled the trans and did a partial rebuild, only replacing the...

as far as ZF6's at altitude are concerned, I think I have a fairly solid setup. Basic setup: swamps 250/200 hybrids, Adrenaline HPOP, typical supporting mods (studs, springs etc) and a KC 66/73 BB turbski with the .84 housing, i was one of the beta testers for the e99 version of this turbo...

I have a Turbosmart Race Port blow of valve and electronic controller. If you look at my engine back shot earlier in the thread you can see it behind my alternator. its welded into the IC piping...

Well, that was a successful holiday road trip. I guess it’s safe to assume that new turbocharger is broken in now. In total, we did 843 from Louisville CO to Davenport IA, then another 440 on to Midland MI and returned from Midland to Davenport with a stop off in Chicago to have dinner and a...

Intake pictures if your curious. I know the gold insulation can be a little polarizing from an aesthetic standpoint, but it works great, its inexpensive, and i'm kind of a function over form sort of guy anyways. blahk... looking at photos makes me want to clean up that engine though! having...

I like the AFE setup as it provides good separation between the hot engine air and cold intake air. I added reflectagold to the engine side of the air box and underhood insulation to the cold side, this has been very effective. I log intake air temps through my Insight, while at idle...

Its a South Bend "Super Street" dual disk clutch. This is the same clutch as the regular "Street" DD, except it does not have the sound dampening system composed of rubber bumpers on the midplate ears and rubber dampers in the clutch plates. Its a no-cost option if you call South Bend up...

to add a couple more photos, because people like photos. here's our subject vehicle. river adventure mode: this way we can park and camp at the takeout, then drive the escape up to the put in and shuttle ourselves. we typically use the escape and the hard boats for long lazy rivers like...

Yeah dude, its working out quite nicely! I did the same drive again yesterday and performance appears to be even better. I'm not sure if DA was lower, if the turbo is breaking in or if i'm getting all of my clamps fully bedded in. When installing a turbo or messing with the charge piping, I...

KC 38R: Finally a BA drop-in turbo option for E99 7.3’s First off, a huge thank you to KC Turbo’s for getting me a charger way ahead of schedule. My truck has been down (but not out) for a couple of months, we’ve had a lot of correspondence and I’ve been not-so patiently waiting to get my...

on clutches... i've stuck with south bend, i've been happy with both the units and the customer service. You can stick with a single disc if you want, but if you go with those 200cc injectors you'll have to be cognoscente of the fact that it won't last all that long. maybe you drive easier...

Thanks for taking the time to do the writeup, i'm also in a ZF6 truck and it sounds like this is working out really well. i'm waiting on KC to get some parts and buy a complete turbo, hopefully these come in soon as it sounds like this will be a GREAT upgrade. one of my biggest peeves with the...

Either way, just post it up!

I run a ZF6 and wouldn't have it any other way, but that's just the way we like it around here. We have four manual trans vehicles and we just prefer it that way. Our BMW 540i is an auto, and despite being a powerful and great handling car, we find it boring to drive with the slushbox and plan...

To follow up, I did go with the undamped version of the SB SDD clutch and I've had it running for a couple of days. It works great, and makes almost no noise. If you have the door open and press the clutch you can barely hear a small hum. In use, no additional noise is perceptible. This...
