Posi12Bolt Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 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! ~Brian btw... it only put down 330 rwhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Sounds like more problems than just a pulley. Isn't easier to send a PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posi12Bolt Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Isn't easier to send a PM?

Posi12Bolt Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 so you have the older sidemount m90 ? if so, even on a 6L that is way low does it look like this? 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!

The M90 is a very nice unit and is actually slightly more efficient than a Radix. http://www.magnusonproducts.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT i dunno, do you know if the radix pulley's will fit the M90? Might try that first... ~Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this works... then it'll just be about getting Keith to re-tune it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynss Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 242/242 - damn! Did the lifters show any wear or damage? Also, I know CompRs are going in, were they in there already or is this the first time in? I got a little confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
