Your Thoughts on turboing a 96 Ram - 05/11/10 01:03 PM

Truck is bone stock 4X4 with a magnum 360. I have two turbos off an 06 an 07 Cummins. I also have the stock Intercooler. I am not looking to race the truck but it has NO GUTS at all.. I need it to pull my car and open trailer without having to get my foot on the floor to get the job done.

I was just thinking of 6lbs of boost woulld do it good...and only one turbo. I know I ran 35lbs of boost on a stock cummins turbo without blowing hot air on a stock IC so 6lbs should be real easy on one of these turbos.

How big of an injector would I need? I have an adjustable FPR already.. headers ? Where to get them? What about pullomg timing out?

You better find a way to fuel that thing. I don't think the Magnum computers like boost.
You may want to look into that.

No, there is no good way for the PCM. Your next best route, which for small boost, is an FMU setup. I have a complete one for sale if interested. It includes the booster pump, new lines, FMU discs, relay. Everything needed.

I am starting to think it would be better to trade it in on the next CFC sale..

Injectors: 24 lb FMS
Timing: Use MSD boost retard
Fuel Control: FMU unit

I ran that combination with no problems. Made 280 RWHP on 6 lb of boost.
