455 5EK

I've been reading and searching and what not and I'm curious if any of you have the same motor I've got that has done any modifications to it and what has come of it? I haven't found much info as far as this in the forums. I've got the 455 that was built to a 550 with the exception of the injectors, cam and turbo. It was flashed to a 550 at CAT and had injector codes also put in. Has anyone else gone a different route or done the same as me?

 

Yes, I'm almost certain they are all the same. It's been this way for about 4 years now, Cat man works at a new shop now and they haven't got a computer just yet so I couldn't tell you what codes they are. 5232 is what I think they are but I could be wrong, it's been about 4 years since it's been flashed and coded

 

Ya, I spoke with him in the past about it but I didn't get too far in depth with him. Just wanting to get away from the trim codes and get a good tune. Planning to swap the turbo and manifold out soon and figured I'd do it all at once. About due for an overhead as well, so hoping to also swap my injectors out. Don't need to go melting anything down though lol

What kind of power is he putting down with that setup?? I've been eying up the b manifold because it's $1200.00 less than a pdi/bully dog. And I'm also looking at a bigger turbo....maybe this would be the easier route for me!!!
