Rcd 68mm batmo pmax review

[slc dzl]

So a few months ago I got this turbo and sunday I finally put it on.
The installation was went really smooth and was able to have it all buttoned up and running in a about 3 hours.
I am running stock injectors, stock fuel system, stock everything except exhaust and tuning, extreme street file.
So first off holy s!!! this thing is loud haha. Egt's have dropped considerable and there is only a puff of smoke then all clears up.
The lag is not bad at all and has more top end. This is a very basic review and will get more information as I get more miles and throw more performance parts on.

awesome....good to know it runs well with stock injectors and fuel system. i'm sure it'll by less laggy if you had bigger injectors.

Nice! RCD has a nice 68 unit from what I have seen.

It's GREAT to hear more about these turbos for sure. From everything I have heard so far, I think you'll like it the more you drive your truck too.

Good feedback! interested to see how mine does with a fuel system and 190s...

 

[strokin6L]

Me too Garrett...can't wait to see how yours drives with the 190's. Thinking about going back to a VGT

Todays update
Today I put some more time on this turbo but today it was pulling.
I pulled my boat which I think is around 6000lbs (malibu wakesetter)
about 40 miles in the extreme street file.
The truck drove great, from a stop light it was a little slower to spool but wasnt bad at all with 35%
throttle got right up to speed.
Crusing flat 60-70 with 25% throttle I was around 900° and about 2 psi of boost.
Came to a smaller grade hill but long and pushed it to 60% throttle and didnt get over 1250° at 18 to 25psi of boost.
To sum up I am loving this turbo so far, now time to add fuel :evil

GREAT info. Short, concise, and factual for sure. I like it. This sounds like it will be a good turbo for sure.

Would it be too much for heavier towing? 10k+

 

[windrunner408]

I bet it would be ok with as long as the injectors used weren't too big.

 

[Breaking Habits]

Glad to hear your liking the turbo buddy. Keep me posted!

How well would the 68 work with stock sticks until got the money for 190/100's?

The OP has stock injectors.

 

[Kbryant777]

Now I feel dumb. Bad thing is I have read the whole thing just a few days ago and forgot.

 

[windrunner408]

:doh: Oh well it happens

Little update I have put another 3000 miles on the turbo and its performed flawless I liked it with stock injectors. As of friday afternoon I have been running a set of warren 205/100's and holy $@!? this thing has some top end. Im pretty sure that my fuel pressure is dropping but as soon as the rest of my stage3 RR from dozers (poke--->) comes ill have a sump to A1000 put on.
As for temps in a innovative xtreme race I have not gone above 1600° at wot, as for cruising 65-70 im 950° to 1100° @ 16% throttle.
Ok now boost has gone to 27psi max from 31psi not sure what up. Im hoping my intake manifold I ordered helps out.
I got some track times and all I can say is im embaressed 13.9
But more to come and hopefully more parts come my way
