3406E. Boost

I have a 3406E and put a 550 brakesaver file in it. It already had 58’s in it. I upgraded the turbo with a BW Stage 1. I can get 43-45 of boost BUT, I don’t hold it there long cause it creates Hot intake heat. If I was in your shoes, 40 psi would be about right for what you have. I wouldn’t doubt it either if Cat dump the low nox 550 file in it.

 

Sometimes Cat’s tuning is depending on the technician I think.

We’ve had our one truck with C15 bumped to 550, 1,850 but can’t get away from our old faithful 475, 1,750 3406E.

It used to be a 475 hp as well but it was so thirsty, so it was bumped to 550.

The 3406E is still the same 475 hp it’s always been at all it’s life and works good with great fuel economy.

But I had a tuning guy come in, change a few parameters in that C15 and a different file. Nothing huge, just a simple so as not to have broken parts or issues.

Now that truck, which is now set at 575, 2,050, will leave every truck we have in dust, while showing the same temps on pyro, same coolant temps and better on fuel.

 

40psi must have a BW non wastegated turbo.

get someone else to flash a pre clean power 550 file

 

Depends on the truck

If you can get your truck through Phoenix, have Eli at ATE Diesel give it a proper tune that isn't going to blow something up....He knows his ####

 

What this guy said. Ive got a factory 550 2WS with the wastegate closed off and a slightly turned up ftl/fts and it will do 30 tops on a fresh filter. 25-28 normal. It pulls pretty good overall but doesnt feel impressive.. Just keeps chuggin up the hill tho.
