Where is everyone #5

This is true, I believe the all time leader was the KT Cummins I think 20psi was max boost on them yet they made good horsepower.

 

Hope ya plan on throwing in a case of beer for that one

 

Yuck!

 

Are they trying to tell us something...?

 

Yeah absolutely, alot of what needs to be considered as far optimum performance when it comes turbo chargers and overall power configurations are turbo map ranges and drive pressure ratios, compression ratios, cam profiles, timing, etc etc...

The engine I was referring to was a stock 12.7 470 16.5:1 CR piston DDECIII. They and some early IV were known for a bronze wrist pin bushing design that and lead to catastrophic failure. They came out with a redesigned piston crown that did not incorporate bronze bushings, therefore eliminating the chance of a wrist pin or piston failure . it wasnt boost or horsepower related is what I was getting at. The pistons were weak from design

 

I’m breaking my “No Loves” rule...

 

Welp my #### beans going home is got bugs. So it's a drop the trailer for 24 hours and go hang out at truck stop. Not my cup of brew fer sure

 

Thats very true. There was alot of displacement there.

Well yeah, but come on JD....why be a wuss???

The original T18A turbo map on a KT wasnt very efficient. 20 to 30 was optimal range on the old beast. Change the pump button, slap a HX 82 on and 50 psi boost later now you got a bad machine that will pull a brick shithouse lol

 

Spray some raid....it'll be alright !!

 

You know it took me four tries to figure out what the hell you were talking about...
