Bye bye stock parts!

[stonepusher]

Time to end the old thread and begin a new one. The stock trans finally said no more so I am replacing it with a BTS 4r100! Truck Source Diesel is doing the work as usual and they began working on it yesterday, along with the 4r they will be installing a fuelab fuel system that they built, Installing one of their sumps, and of course the PCS. I will keep y'all updated as much as possible, I am going out of town for the next 6 days for work and service where I'm going is pretty much non existent.

Looks sick, why the 4r over the 5? And what's a pcs?

Trans controller for the 4r.

The 5r's don't seem to be holding up as well anymore. I know guys like Ellerton are still running 5r's and making it work and that's awesome but I wanted to go with something different. Plus, later on down the road if I decide to do a CR swap I will already have the 4r. PCS is a standalone transmission controller

...all you had to do was call NADP in Edmonton, and you could of had the same transmission Shawn and a bunch of other guys are running...5R competition series.

I love that fuel system. What was the cost on that setup do you know?

 

[java]

Awesome setup bud!

Drove the truck today and all I gotta say is WOW! The 4r blows the 5r out of the water....it's like I have instant boost, it even smoke less than before,it lights the turbo a lot faster than my 5r. Drove it around town today and felt great, takes a little get used to and the pcs needs a little more tuning on WOT but other than that I am extremely happy! Thanks Truck Source Diesel!

glad to hear your happy with the 4r i thought the same thing the first time i drove mine. i like the way it seem to keep the truck on top the turbo. and like you said it keep the smoke down i can drive my 300hybrids in town with almost no smoke.

I'm gonna run the VGT-SS for a while and then look into a non Vgt along with some hybrids

Well finally got some decent runs in at the track. Was able to click off a [email protected] with a 1.75 60ft. Not bad for trans swap, same engine tune as the 5r. Hoping to work on my 60ft some more, maybe a little tweaking with the caltracs will get me a 1.6 60ft. The 60ft times were actually coming down before they closed the track, the run before that was a [email protected] with a 1.79 60ft. Just one more run and I coulda possible snuck into the 12.3's....oh we'll maybe next time.

 

[stonepusher]

here is the 12.40 pass:
