12.7 detroit upgrades

Again, awesome info!

Back when it was set to factory program, I did have to rev it up like that to produce any kind of usable power. Now, I am shifting between 1,500-1,600...1,700 if I really need to get up and go.

I'm not the fastest off the line, but, most people have a hard time passing me off the line, depending on how loaded I am, the terrain and what's in front of me...I'm a big believer in progressive shift technique, I try to get out of the low range gears as fast as I can and then start pushing the RPM's once I get into the higher gears.

So, you think a new manifold is going to make a difference? OK.

I was planning on the BW turbo for sure, but, maybe I'll do that with the manifold next. The exhaust is getting done (again) right NOW, its a 5" in and out...I didn't know what to put on it. I think it had a Donaldson on before...any recommendations?

 

The place I recommended also sells the exhaust manifolds. Both ceramic and polished I think.

 

Thanks John...polish manifolds are TASTY!!! LOL.

 

Bully dog turbo stage 1 and full tilt turbo strait pipes and a fuel restrictor in the line give it more fule pressure

 

Put some 9:95 injectors in it

 

9:95 injectors? Are those supposed to be a thing?

Hello swaan I was curious did you ever do any upgrades to your 14l & if so would you mind sharing. I have one I'm working with. I appreciate it thanks

 

The best bang for the buck is ecm tuning. I recomend diesel control service. Then get a better turbo like a 171702 or depending how hot the tune a 78 or 80 mm turbo .
That's basically all I got done and runs real good!

 

Thanks I appreciate it. What type of fuel mileage are you getting?

 

I average 7 mpg .
