My Custom Hellion Turbo Kit Build

[HKusp]

Update: ok I was told to drive it around town and then go to 3500 in 3rd and WOT to 5500.

Around town she did great drove like she was stock with a beautiful whistle around 3500ish. Then we got to the 3rd at WOT. So I hit it and that thing took me into warp speed. I have never experienced anything like that... It was just pure brutality. I still don't exactly know what happened. I think I let off at 5500? RPM went by like I was in a time machine. Peak boost said 8 PSI which was good I was trying to keep it at waste gate pressure. The sounds were out of this world with that t51R mod. It sounded like a jet plane. I'll try to take a video one of these days but been using the phone to log everything.

When I was doing the diesel truck thing back in the early 2000's, we used to refer to something that would happen when we modded them as a condition called "permagrin". You are going to have that now. Every time you go outside and look at your car, every time you THINK about your car, you're going to have to hold back a grin.

Hi guys,

Update**
So just like I thought, I let off too early and PBD requested the pull redone. So I was little more.... prepared this time. I know the wastegates are doing great because PSI was 8 dead on the money these pulls and last pull. Also I put the entire interior back now that I'm confident nothing is leaking under there and everything works. I did a really nice pull past the shop that's next to a big open road down the street from me. I saw at least a few techs run out of the bay lol. I know they love performance stuff because they tend to have a few parked in the lot a lot. Anyways, Currently waiting on PBD to review this log and get back to me.

Turbo oil return lines are all done and my remote kill switch has been wired in. Also all the fuel lines are done except one I made too short so I have to redo it and the fuel system should be good to go. And good news! The charge pipes are on there way from Hellion Once they're in it's time to start talking to Lund and some 94 sunoco in the tank.

I really like those oil drains... nice and tucked up.

If I come back to this thread one more time and there's no video update I'm gunna lose it. Lol

Hi sorry to be MIA. I live in the north east and I just ran out of time. Winter hit me hard with snow everywhere, so mostly likely have to pick it back up in May/june with pbd. I was trying to beat the weather but I ran into an issue with it blowing out the spark on the plugs and I had to T/S with pbd. The plugs are running a much tighter gap now and I was about on rev 2 of the tune when I just ran out of time. I'm also in a new job and had to go to ohio for a couple weeks which didn't help at all.

What plug gap are you running now?

I'm hoping to have a better video hopefully Monday or Tuesday of WOT so I can continue the tuning this thing. It now has a set of mickey Thompson Street SS 305/45/17's in the back with a set of dragstar wheels. The IRS got BMR lock out kit, subframe BMR bracing, and Gulfcoast drive shaft one piece aluminum. I also have a MSD 2 step but it's not installed yet.

There is no breaking in of those tires FYI. A simple burnout and they are ready.

Oh, that's good to know. Im just too use to the Yamaha R1 tires that require a scrub in period and go easy on them for first 100 miles ish. I'm new to the drag radials but they've been amazing so far. I did another pull for PBD today and they did great. I'm waiting on the feedback from my file.

Bumping for more whistling noises and full pull
