Hx30s are effecient clear up to 35ish psi, so you wouldn't think the intake temp would rise too much since they are still in their range. Stock cummins run them between 20-30psi depending on the application of course

I've got some funkiness at WOT in 4th gear. PSI goes up to 11, temp hits 1250 and then PSI starts going down and power flatlines. If I let off my foot to 3/4 boost goes back to 11 and EGT's come down but power comes back. I think the waste gate is cracking open. Will report back after some testing. I also have the overbypass valve setup so who knows. Should be pretty easy to figure out when I get some time.


I think I bought the "perfect" intercooler today:

   

It's from a 2008 BMW 335xi and measures 4-1/4 x 5 x 20-3/4. 28" with end tanks (same width as what I have now) and 3-3/16" inlet & outlet.

I believe this will allow stock/amg spoiler fitment w/o issue.

Bypassing the overboost solenoid was def part of the problem. I saw 13psi for the first time today. I need to go back and check but that might also be the max range of the bosch boost sensor.

[edit]
According to this, I should be good to 3 bar... http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/Thre...4#pid55954, I think I need to hook up an analog boost gauge and verify my digital. IIRC the overboost doesnt kick in until 16psi....

Well I ran without a boost gauge for a while so better safe than sorry!

Must have been leaking as well because I get more fuel earlier now.

Poop. The intercooler came in today and the dolt didnt even put newspaper in there for padding. End tank broke off. The endtanks are plastic and crimped on, I dont think the aluminum metal is thick enough to weld new intakes on. This is disappointing.

The grin on my face, shortly before it happened was EAR to EAR. I was in some pretty decent rolling sweepers and on the last one the back end was sliding out a bit too much. About 1/2 mile down the road it went BAM. Selling the core to fellow STDer who promised to give us some tear down pics. Longest 2 hr drive of my life back with that gear getting ground up everywhere. Still looking for a 717.404. Probably won't put the ASD in until then.

Today I fixed what were some apparent boost leaks due to shitty pipe clamps rubbing on silicone. We are back to scalded dog. Clutch cant hold boost in third or fourth suddenly Smile. Ripped the ghetto fab I had for my turbo oil drain.

I am seeing boost far earlier now.It is wonderful. What I am not seeing is temps going up with the bosst as much as temps going with revs. Any suggestions?

Wanted to report that my last tank was 28.2 mpg. Not too shabby. I drive in from the burbs to the city every day and tend to get "mixed" driving out of it. Tend to run it as well so its really quite decent.

The grin on my face, shortly before it happened was EAR to EAR. I was in some pretty decent rolling sweepers and on the last one the back end was sliding out a bit too much. About 1/2 mile down the road it went BAM. Selling the core to fellow STDer who promised to give us some tear down pics. Longest 2 hr drive of my life back with that gear getting ground up everywhere. Still looking for a 717.404. Probably won't put the ASD in until then.

The rest of the gearbox is in surprisingly good shape. Id have to wash everything and carefully inspect all the surfaces, but i might be able to take that gear from another blown box.

Question for winmutt, you were in gear when the gear blew, not shifting?

Thats usually what superpumps do to Mercedes boxes. 2-3 pull and then third gear falls down in the bottom of the box. After3 or 4 boxes you will probably go for a BMW 530Diesel box, then your problems is over.

In all seriousness though these trans are used in the cars with the larger motors. I forget where I read but several places have mentioned that they're the same. The Ratios are the same between the 430 and 432, only difference is the input shaft length for the dual mass vs single mass clutch.

(11-06-2014, 11:12 AM)raysorenson Is there some published torque capacity data behind this or is this based on past performance of these transmissions mated to high torque motors?

I read it on the internet, so it must be true? Wink

In all seriousness though these trans are used in the cars with the larger motors. I forget where I read but several places have mentioned that they're the same. The Ratios are the same between the 430 and 432, only difference is the input shaft length for the dual mass vs single mass clutch.




'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
'87 300D Turbo "Roxanne" - #22 head - 400E brakes - EGR Delete - 17" Staggered AMG 5 spoke rims from CLK500 - 5 Spd manual
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use Big Grin
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.

Ahh.. gotcha. I was making sure there wasn't some mysterious data source I didn't know about. The .404 dogleg is also known to support turbo torque but doesn't have overdrive.

At some point or another I have seen torque ratings for all the 5 speeds and sadly not recorded them appropriately.

HX35W exhaust housing is now soaking to get reclocked.
