I haven't looked into it yet, but wouldn't I need to pull it to check and/or replace the thrust plate?
No problem man, glad it was useful.
I feel a looser secondary housing would help a lot to lower crusing boost. Im looking into other avenues to replacethe 341, only downside is having to re fab the hot pipe. The 9cm Spools fast but definitely is choked up on top and it seems to eat fuel pretty good. Im sure this will only get worse once i get the Ppump on.
I would highly recommend necking down to 4" right off the primary. Wasn't worth the headache to run the 5" and sounds like you'll be even tighter on space.
I agree, I wish I had an extra gear like a 6 speed Allision has. The numbers I posted assumed I would run 75-78mph in a 70mph zone. The calculated RPM's are in the following post. They are not too horrible. I hope to keep the boost at those RPM's at a reasonable level to help MPG.
I wish I had a 6th gear, say .61, like an Allison. I hope my next build has that option. Current RPM's with a 4R100 4th gear of .71, 3.73 gears, 33" tires.
65mph - 1753rpm
70mph - 1888rpm
75mph - 2022rpm
Having ran an he341/hx55 setup, I wouldn't recommend the 55 for an atmo charger. It felt really bottled up. Running a 341/GTA4202 now and its so much better. Spools stupid fast and runs really clean with 5x14s. Just cruising you can barely feather the throttle and its making 25psi+ instantly. Only problem with the gta4202 is the wastegated exhaust housing. The down pipe was an absolute pain in the ass to run 5" all the way back.
