Hi, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel, and today we're going to be talking to you just a little
bit about the PhatShaft lineup of turbos from Industrial Injection. So Adam's '05 Dodge we
have here at Thoroughbred Diesel has been a guinea pig for us here at Thoroughbreds for a long, long
time. We've done several different programmers on this truck, tried out a lot of different things,
and now we're going to be doing a turbo upgrade on it. The truck has had a stock turbo on it
the entire time. We started kicking around this idea and Industrial jumped on board and sent us
a PhatShaft turbo and we were really, really excited about throwing this on the truck and
getting you guys some information on it. So I want to talk to you just a little bit about
the charger that we actually received. So because Adam's truck has got light fueling upgrades,
we requested a 62/80 charger, the PhatShaft 62/80, and I remember I said that name, PhatShaft 62/80,
that is going to be your better of all three of the PhatShaft series chargers
for your towing and your daily driving. Now specs on this charger. This is a 62
millimeter compressor. The PhatShaft lineup had the 65 millimeter turbine wheel. We did this with
an 80 exhaust housing, so a 14 centimeter exhaust housing. Now you can also get this
in a 12 centimeter, which is going to spool up a little bit nicer, but you're going to really
have to watch your EGTs with 12 centimeter. So we went with a 14 centimeter that's going to be just
a little bit laggier than 12 centimeter, but it's going to help us to control EGTs really,
really well. Adam does a little bit of towing during the summer pulling a boat and stuff,
and with the fueling upgrades, we felt like the 80 was going to be the better of the chargers for
him to go with. So 62/80 on this charger. Now, let's talk about the Super Phat and the
Silver Bullet lineup of PhatShaft chargers at Industrial Injection. I'll just touch on those.
All of these chargers, PhatShaft, Super Phat, and Silver Bullet, you can get them in 62,
64, and 66 millimeter compressor size. But what changes on the Super Phat and the Silver Bullet
is the turbine wheel size. Now, when you get to the Super Phat shaft size, the Super Phat line up
of chargers, you're looking at a 71 millimeter turbine wheel, and then on the Silver Bullet,
you're looking at the 74 millimeter turbine wheel. So when you're playing around with trying to get
your drive pressures under control and just dialing in the truck overall for the fueling
upgrades that you have and what you're doing with the truck, you have different turbine wheel sizes
that you can really get it dialed in. So now let's show you some of the upgrades
that Industrial Injection does to the PhatShaft lineup of turbos, and you're going to find these
in all three of the different turbo series inside the lineup. One of the first things
that they do is these dual grooved oiling journal bearings, and the additional sized
turbo shaft on these chargers. Hence the name PhatShaft. Much larger size shaft on this
makes the turbo just more robust. You're not going to have any failures with this
from shaft breakage and things like that. So a lot more meat added to that. You've got
these higher performance journal bearings that come with it and they're grooved as well.
Also on the PhatShaft lineup, they do a 360 degree thrust bearing. The 360 degree thrust bearing
again goes back into the entire theme of this charger, that is just beef up everything on it,
just make it a daggone near bulletproof charger, so that's what Industrial does. So 360 degree
thrust bearing. You've got the dual grooved oiled journal bearings on here. Now on the compressor
side, again, now our charger is a 62 millimeter. This cutaway as well is a 62 millimeter. You
have the extended tip technology on the compressor wheel that helps the compressor wheel to flow more
air. Now on the turbine side, again, this is a 65 millimeter with the turbo that we received from
them. This is a 14 centimeter turbine housing, .80 A/R on that. That's going to flow a lot of air.
It's going to do really well for you. Now, one of the other upgrades that
industrial does to these chargers is they do a recess in the wastegate cover. The wastegate
cover, you will see, and we'll try to make sure that Adam can see that, you can see
that indention in the wastegate covered that they do there. What happens is that lets these
wastegate open completely here. So that's going to help control your drive pressure, make sure
that you don't get too high drive pressure when the wastegate is actuated, when you get to that
number. On this charger this is set up at 40 PSI. That's going to help protect your head gaskets.
But we can get that wastegate all the way open with here, larger ports on this as well,
and get that air off of the charger and keep your drive pressure under control.
So again, Industrial Injection, synonymous with fuel, synonymous with diesel performance overall.
I feel like a lot of times guys forget, hey, they've got a complete lineup of turbos and they
do a damn good job of it. They really, really do. So we're going to get this on Adam's truck.
Inside this turbo kit, if you're doing this again, 04.5-07 is the charger that you're
going to be receiving on this, that when you ask for this, this is going to be a fully drop-in
charger as well. So it's going to hook up at that elbow that comes with the stock wholesale charger
that is on the truck. So it is a bolt in and go. You don't have to change the exhaust manifold.
You can put this on a stock manifold if you so choose to and you can use your stock downpipe
of course. It's made for that. If you guys decide you want to do an HX40 housing on that, give us a
call. We'll have to set you up with something. Inside the kit, now for you 04.5-07 guys, you are
going to have to purchase a wastegate fooler. That will be a separate. They are an add on the cart
on Thoroughbred Diesel. We can get you one very, very cheap. But you will need it to keep the truck
from throwing codes. And it will come with the T3 foot gasket as well. You'll have your oil drain
gasket. You've got your oil inlet conversion. This is an MPT to the o-ring thread that comes with
the Cummins line, so you don't have to worry about running down to your hydraulic shop. They include
that. And then you're going to be adding two studs on the manifold as well for this PhatShaft turbo,
because the turbo foot is smooth on both sides, so we're going to go to the stud set up on
that. So yeah, awesome, awesome charger. We're excited about putting it on Adam's truck and a
big shout out to Industrial for sending us one. If you're considering a drop-in charger, if you're
ready to take that next step in your performance adventure with your truck, consider Industrial's
charger. This is the PhatShaft, the Super Phat, and the Silver Bullet series inside of this
family. They also do the Boxer, the Viper, a lot of different chargers. If you need help picking
what charger is right for your truck, give us a call. We'll be glad to talk through it with you.
So we're also going to link you in this video, almost forgot that, I'm going to link you in this
video to where you can purchase a PhatShaft turbo for your truck. Thanks for watching.
