3406E Turbo and Tuning Upgrades

This is a much more interesting video. A complete tear down, and a detailed rebuild using many new parts. The engine is an 800 hp “off road” for a show truck. Wink!

 

Yeah, I've seen this fellas videos. And he certainly does seem knowledgeable on the E-Cats and C-15's.
But, it seemed a bit odd to me. Why, in one video, he intentionally destroyed what seemed to me a decent running older detroit.
Yeah, I'd stick with Mr. Haney!!
That kid 3406, or whatever, has some groing up to do

 

Burley did you ever get that 78 1.32 turbo ? I run one on a 6TS 3406e with 58 injectors and a 601 file and I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes spools great other times not so much. Also I’m not sure if I have some sort of issue going on with mine or if it’s the increased are flow going through the pipes but anything over 35 lbs makes a strange screeching noise.

 

Screeching noise is most likely a boost leak. Also ... you are running big squirts, and a big file, on what is probably too small of a turbo. If you were not leaking boost ... I am sure you would be in the danger zone for lifting the head. What are your egt's like? May want to up your housing to a 1.45

 

Egts never go above 1000* on a hard long pull and are 7 750* cruising down the road. I was looking at ordering the bigger housing because the turbo surges a lot down bottom

 

Borg warner non waste gates 78mm with 1.45 rear housing. set of 58s (2113024) injectors and 7cz 600hp file it will make 550-580 to the grounds. fit 180F thermostats and it'll be good as gold.
