    Guys I’ve found a 5ek that is supposed to be a factory 435hp. Can a 435 be turned up to a 550 or does it have smaller internal parts? Serial # is 5ek40977.

    Look like it had a dpf temp sensor back in 2012. ARD head and an air compressor in 2011.
    In 2012 it shows it was rated at 475hp and 1650ftlbs
    Engine could be rebuilt/deleted as it wouldn't have be done under warranty. History is too old to judge the engine. Local dealers may know more
     
    SAR and Oxbow Thank this.

    Factory is 435. Needs injectors turbo and pistons to get to 550. Looks like it can do 475 with just a turbo and a flash.

    No set life I have found yet. Keep clean oil in it and no dust ingestion and I have had customers that only change them on a platinum kit rebuild. The upper turbo on SDP's seems go out more frequently though.
     
    SAR Thanks this.
