Thanks guys for watching! Comment down below if I missed anything in the video about turboing. Also should we stay stock fuel system and run 93 octane or e85 and custom fuel system??
Sounds like you have the knowledge to tune for e 85 id say shoot for the moon and test the limits of the block lol
Oh I will lol then the plan is to install a 5.9 magnum with about same miles and see which stock bottom end will handle more power! What do you think?
Its been awhile since I read about crank material and rods etc... I couldn't tell ya off the top of my head
Maybe with the 360 take some extra time and go through the entire engine with new bearings and better rotating assembly head work block prep and such to really take advantage of horsepower and let people know dodge is a powerhouse
Might start my own videos of my build and odd and end shit i do day to day I hear ya make some money doing it!
I am just about to start my own TH-cam channel. I like how you are a small channel and love what you do. You are the main reason i am starting my channel.
That’s awesome man! Congrats 🎉
Totally agree with you on those top 5 things.
If you want a motor that would last, forged internals with pistons made for boost and ARP hardwares. Then you can aim for the sky with the boost and the motor will hold up. But the transmission will explode! That is part of the fun anyway.
I always enjoyed your video!!!! Keep on playing!
Thanks man! And yes a built engine is nice maybe in the future!
Love the series!! I’ve toyed around with the twin idea on my 93 Dakota for years. Did a 5.9 swap a few years ago and now Im ready. Bought an Eagle 410 Stroker assembly and twins On3 70’s but the plumbing is a big hurdle I have yet to overcome.
Hell ya!!!! Big fun project sounds like it’s going to be a beast
I am working on 2 turbo trucks. One is a 99 ram 1500 5.9 magnum and one is a 1994 f150 4.9 inline 6. I just purchased the $1500 twin turbo ebay kit. I have been here since the beginning. By the way if you ever get the chance, you should get David Patterson (ThatDudeInBlue) to review whitie.
Ya that be sweet! Have to get the truck running and driving first tho!
Great stuff! Really appreciate the videos that go into detail as going to mirror build on my 1996 Indy
Thats awesome man!
Yes please tuning video . These videos are great , very informative . 👍
Thanks man! Coming soon
Bro...watching your vid and look over on my workbench and guess what's there......1 gallon of Sunnyside acetone. OMG.....TWINSEE'S!!!! I'm trying not to cry.
Twinnnnnnnzzzzz’ss!!!! I’m not crying you are lol
Yes, Tune vids!! 👍
Coming soon!
You make a good video, your a nice guy too thanks for the input! God bless
Thanks man! Appreciate it
A great addition to your project would be a write-up on a website with pics to help those considering a boosted build understand in better detail the steps and pieces need. Such a site would complement your videos well in my opinion. Plus you could link to parts and get affiliate revenue if you so desire.
One question. Since most items on this generation of Ram use vacuum to operate; climate controls, cruise, 4wd, etc.; it might be worth mentioning all the places needed to put in control valves and how to create a new source of vacuum with something like a venturi.
I like the way you think!
Absolutely, GREAT video man. Not to thick,not to thin.
Margarine 😆
Its alllll coming together!
Oh yes soon to hit the streeet I’m pumped
@@RacingRamFam mee to
I’m doing a carb swap on my magnum with the Chevy style ignition, so I can basically throw all 5 out the window
Lol ya simplicity
Oh you know I'm in for a shirt!
Ohhhhhhhh yessss
Hoping for a response, I have a 2016 Ram Rebel. 5.7L V8
I've already installed:
Sport AWE exhaust
S&B Cold Air Intake
Throttle body spacer
Diablo Tune with 93 octane tune.
I have someone who says he can install a "turbo kit 78 mm producing over 550 hp, comes with intercooler, exhaust manifolds, fuel pump, and headers" for about $4k. And new I'll need to install new fuel injectors.
Is this a realistic expectation? Is there anything else I should replace? What should I expect as a result?
Yes on prob 4psi lol hemis make 400hp from factory with a camshaft and related mods you can make 500-600hp na.
Did he say Margarine line imitation butter
7:15 "margarine" I think you meant margin, but made me laugh😂
Lol 😂 didn’t even notice till now
I just realised you skipped the wiring part to the map sensor. Was really interested in that part cause I want to boost my 5.2.
Ya you have to rewire it
@@RacingRamFam was hoping youd explain how, which wires etc.
Silly question, but can you just swap the whole SRT fuel cell over??
I guess idk what the benefit would be
I wish u was neighbor so u could help me boost my 5.2
That be sweet!
A cam and the right gear in the rear end will make it get up and get down
I been electrogalvanizing the frame, parts, brake lines etc on my RAM
How much work is that??
Could you put a turbo on a 4.7
Can you do this with a 4.7 ram 1500? Asking for a friend…
I would totally get a t-shirt! Also are those injectors for e-85 only? I enjoy these videos because I will one day be building my own! 🤘🏼
E-85 or gas!
Hey man can you please show man the wiring diagram of the map. I boosted my 97 sst ram an need a better map
Is that truck manual ? I have so many questions. LOVE THE VIDEOO!!!!!
No automatic!
Also why did you move air intake sensor?.. an how did you go about the original spot? Just a plug?
Yes 1/4 brass npt plug, also cause it’s in the cylinder 1 intake runner not a very good spot for intake air temps
Im just curious. How much does this kill fuel economy. I know fuel ecomony is not a consideration here , power is lol but ... still curiosity calls
Probably helps it if you can keep your foot out of it
How much would you charge to do my ram the same way if I buy all the parts?
Hi, doing a turbo build on my 98 dodge , can you give me the wire colors to , wire color for the srt map.
Yes if you want to dm me on Facebook or Instagram @racingramfam
@@RacingRamFam you have another way of messages I need help on my build to I don’t have Instagram or fb?
Email me ericmeyer@racingramfam.com
Hey I have a 97 Dodge ram 2wd I am looking to turbo my truck what kind of turbo kit that you have on your truck
Stock heads? Stock rotating assembly?
Yes sir
Stock welded intake too lol
I'd love to add a little boost to the upper side of the rpm range on the ole 5.9. Just so the power doesn't fall off before 5000
Just get a tune. Chrysler pulls like 6 degrees of timing under wot
@@RacingRamFam Don't I know it, I have an sct3200😁
I'm starting a twin turbo with a stock 4.7,anything thats different? That should be updated
Pretty much everything listed in this video
Im Starting the same thing. I just need i injectors and turbo lol
Hell ya!
Ok. So how many mpg are ya getting now my guy... how many miles have ya put on it ?
Prob 50-100miles and no idea wide open throttle or nothing lol
i wanna get a turbo for my 2017 RAM
Cx racing sells a kit
How did you fit the srt10 fuel pump and get it to seal with the different mounting from the oem style fuel pump?
Changing the top hat
Do you think this would work on a 2006 dodge ram 1500?
Which cam are you using bow?? Pls find out
Idk some Hughes grind like 550 lift and 230 duration 110lsa
I have questions how can I personally write you you gave me a lot if I fo ive been looking for
Just curious what you do for a living and if you are hiring?
Chrysler mechanic and hopefully TH-cam full time soon
What'd y'all do with ring gaps?
Let 200,000 miles gap them
I was about to ask the same thing
I have a 5.2, but I have zero clue as to if it is naturally aspirated. Does it have to be naturally aspirated in order to turbo it in the way that you did? Love what you did with your truck. @RacingRamFam
Every factory 5.2 magnum is naturally aspirated. It does not have force induction from factory as in a turbo or supercharger
@@RacingRamFam Thank you for responding! That is something I did not know, I have a 97 dodge dakota which is my first truck, so I plan on wanting to do a bunch of stuff to it as quick as possible and with as much budgeting in mind as possible, especially while trying to push boost through the ol sucker. I know it will still take a chunk of change, but where there is a will, there is a way. Atleast for the most part haha.
Very true!
Hey got a question about the wiring of the 2 bar map sensor cuz I can't seem to find a video on it can you do a short video on the 2 bar map sensor
How many miles per gallon do you get?
Yes lol
Hey I’m also putting twin turbos on my 98 5.2. What would you recommend for a good cam? Great videos btw!
Hughes has some awesome selections!
@@RacingRamFam thanks!
What size turbos?
Awesome videos man, quick question I have a 95 Dakota 3.9l I have been contemplating trying this on but my main hurdle is that it’s not obd2 so I cannot use the same tuners you would for this one, what’s your opinion for the best route for me to take. After a lot of thought I’ve been leaning heavy toward switching it to carb from throttle body to be able to tune and get the fuel I need but any advice is greatly appreciated
Ya you would have to switch over to obd2 pcm in order to tune it
1997 don't have a map sensor
@@douglpalmer9101 yes yes it does.
@@RacingRamFam how much you wanna bet buddy I own a 1997 and a 2000 and neither one has a map or a oxygen sensor
@@douglpalmer9101 welp your dumb
Sikkwiddit 🤟
Eric where did yeh get the injectors
Snake eater
Does the SCT tuner have an interface on a computer? Or is everything controlled with that handheld OBD2 thinger majigger?
The sct is the interface for the laptop
Where did you get the injectors?
Snake eater
Yo so I have the fuel rails from the car hemi, and I have the fuel rails from the truck, if I use one side and the other side from each fuel rail, could I use one side as a in and one side as a return? Or would it not work that way.
Yes you could do it that way!
Hell yea, I wanted to keep the ram side anyways cause the valve on side to check fuel pressure, but I’m glad it will work that way
Whered you get those injectors?
Snake eater
Will the neon map sensor work on the stock computer I have a 98 5.9 grand Cherokee and I am using sct for tuning
I could use a little advice if you don't mind I'm trying to twin turbo my 8.0 v10 but I'm not sure what size injectors and fule pump I should go with do you have any suggestions
What fuel will you run?
@@RacingRamFam probably e85
@@codybruney8068 going to need a lot more than just a pump lol stock regulators suck in these trucks watch my fuel system video
@@RacingRamFam where would I start
@@RacingRamFam is there a better way for use to communicate I'd like your advice on this project as I progress
Hey doing a single turbo magnum 5.9 on my 78 w150 mud truck is the stock manifold good enough with port matching to get 500 horse? I will be putting a bullet proof bottom end in and oil port mods on
Well we’re shooting for way more than 500hp on stock manifold so I’ll def let you know
Sounds good man thanks for that ill be in touch on comments hopefully that transmission will hold up for a bit to get testing done and dyno good luck and appreciate the info
Im thinking you should have gapped the piston rings a little wider but 200,000 miles might help that situation hope all goes well for you
Ya hopefully 200,000 miles gap it good! But I’m excited to see what this stock bottom end can hold. I think it’s going to impress some people
Well chevy 350 block can only do 500 without splitting we will see lol
😭 I just replaced my fuel pump
With what lol
@@RacingRamFam it broke on a trip and replaced it over there with a crappy aftermarket part. Then when I came back I had to replace it again with a quality pump.
Dam! That stinks
😂
