ATTN: MOREGRIP


Recommended Posts

Justin(F8L) told me you might be the one to talk to about my magnacharger issue...?

 

its the older (pre-radix) centrifugal (sp.) blower... I'll get the pn. later if needed...

I put 42# injectors, walbro 255# fuel pump, and dyno tuned by Keith at FFP...

 

problem I have is it only makes 1.4# boost at max! wtf???

 

Keith didnt know or didnt go into details about why...

I was wondering if I could just downsize my pulley to up the boost or what?

 

any insite would be cool! :thumbs:

btw... it only put down 330 rwhp :sigh::puke:

that is exactly what it looks like!!

 

any ideas?

 

 

what pulley do you have on it currently?

i got the setup used from a dealer take-off (trade-in) type of deal...

so I have no idea what pulley is on it...but I was told it was on a 6.0 H2 and ran like a raped ape before being removed! :dunno:

Best I can do as far help goes, is these guys, they seem to be very M90 smart.

Beyond that I would call Magnuson and see what kind of support they are willing to give, in terms of troubleshooting and such. The M90 is a very nice unit and is actually slightly more efficient than a Radix.

I sent an email to ZZP...we'll see what they can tell me...

also I went outside and measured my pulley... it appears to be approx. 3.5"

which seems a little on the larger size for a maggie! BUT i dunno, do you know

if the radix pulley's will fit the M90? Might try that first... :dunno:

sounds good, make sure you specify that you have the truck setup.

 

might try these guys for pulleys:

im curious to see how that guy does too, making more than 1# will be nice.  hopefully you get the kinks out, but then again wasnt the blower pretty much free :P

Yeah, I've got more wrapped up in the blower, injectors, fuel pump, and dyno tuning than I do the actual blower itself!

 

:thumbs:

 

I hope this works...

 

then it'll just be about getting Keith to re-tune it! :nonod:

:lol: my shit is still at the shop, pushrods were 25/1000s too long with new cam. Actually looked at my old cam and it looks fine, normal wear/tear but nothing that should have caused me to have to get a new one...little bitter about that, i think its because keith found his old "cam" guy in a Florida conference he went to and talked about my truck and his recommendation was going with the 242/242 because of where the turbo sat for exhaust...so i might be selling my old cam :D
