S467-S483 Compounds for 3rd gen 5.9

High Pressure Charger - GTS spec S467.7/83/.90 built by Chris at Midwest Turbo (has 1,000 easy miles on it)

Atmospheric Charger - S483/96/1.32 from Engineered Diesel (rebuilt 250 miles ago)

I have a set of S400 compounds/twin turbos for a 3rd gen Dodge with the Cummins 5.9. I really enjoy the setup, fun to drive, good spool, and fast… but I have some bigger turbos that are going on. This would make a great set for a hot street truck or even competition. These turbos are easily capable of over 1,000hp!

I built all of the piping for this kit and everything was TIG welded, all three charge pipes were back-purged. Intake pipes are bead rolled and the down-pipe has a slip joint on the bottom for a simple install. I designed it to be as bolt-on as possible, but it will take some time to install properly.

Includes exhaust manifold, turbos, piping, support, oil feed lines, oil drain lines, heater core coolant return line, and new A/C lines. All turbo piping is stainless- 3.5” charge pipe between turbos, 3.5” charge pipe to intercooler, 4” hot pipe between turbos. 5” down-pipe made of aluminized steel that is lava heat-shield wrapped.

Turbo support is mounted using the front engine mount bolts (kit includes longer bolts) and the heater core return line bolt. There is also a support on the down-pipe that secures to the front lifting tab of the transmission housing of a 48re trans (bolt included). When installed, these turbos are very secure.

Includes all hardware necessary for oil feed and drain lines. Oil feed lines include two fittings for the top of the oil filter housing, premade lines, and the fittings installed on the turbos. The oil drain lines include a drain pipe for each turbo (made to fit the setup), -10 fittings, -10 push-lok hose, and two press-in -10 adapter fittings for the engine block.

Exhaust manifold is a three-piece ATS T-4 manifold (kit comes with two short bolts necessary for install and new manifold gaskets). Comes with a necessary 1” Stainless Diesel spacer for the top charger and two T-4 turbine housing gaskets.

I am running shock tower deletes which are necessary for the location of the S483. This setup also requires removal of the passenger side battery, which means that you will have to run a new power cable from the alternator to either the driver side battery, or I’d suggest you run it around the front of the block to the stud on the starter to keep the engine bay clean. The other factory modification involves the A/C lines. The factory ones simply don’t fit with this kit so it comes with two new lines that require some of the factory lines to be removed and replaced by the new ones.

Asking $5500

Yeah, I don't post a whole lot, use it more for information than anything. I appreciate that though!
 
What’d you run for fuel with these, cam and ported head? Any dyno numbers or track times? I think at this power level s4 on the manifold is the way to go. Just seems like S3 becomes a bottle neck and waste gating makes things harder than they have to be...
 
I'm running a set of 300% S&S injectors fed by a Fleece CP3K on top and an Industrial "Dragon Fire" (or something of that sort, I bought it used and don't recall what all the different names were that Industrial used for their CP3's) in the factory location. Feeding the CP3's with a FASS 150.

Cam is an older Hamilton cam, I believe it's their 188/210.

I had the head done at Mountain High Performance in Colorado. Has the bigger valves with bowl porting, some intake porting, milled off the intake manifold and running the ZZ Fab intake.

I don''t have any dyno numbers or track times with this setup. I built the kit over the summer with intentions to sell because I have a bigger set of turbos that I'm putting on. I'm a full time student now, including summer classes so I didn't get a chance to take the truck to the track once I finished the kit.

I really like the S467 on the manifold. I managed to destroy 3 S366's over the past few years so I wanted to step up to the S467. I haven't noticed much difference in drive-ability stepping up to the S467 and I'm a lot more confident in the abuse it can handle over an S366. I am also very pleased with the drive-ability with the S483 added.
