Borg Warner turbo upgrade ??

The 171702 dropped my egts 150 degrees just by switching turbos .
No tune.
The stock garrett is just marginal on the 550 stock

Having said that, it would probley work real well on a rebel tuned 12.7.being smaller displacement engine.

 

I have my original factory garrett that came on my 14l ddec4 550hp for sale if any one interested.
Like I said . Would work real nice on a tuned 12.7.
It's brand new, engine had 2000 miles on it when I upgraded.
Make me an offer!

 

When I got my 2013 FL glider with a 12.7 500 factory rebuild in it, before it even left the dealer, it got a BW 171702, a Bully Dog ceramic exhaust manifold, and a PTP turbo blanket on the turbo. 438,000 miles later, and I am quite satisfied with it. Yes, it does need above 1300 before it really comes to life, but I am not doing local P&D stuff with it. It does a stellar job in the typical 1400-1500 RPM range I operate in.

 

I put one on at 1.1 m 12.7 had been overhauled at 825 k had rebuilt Garrett put on under warranty at 325k purchased truck at 875k put Borg Warner on at 1,1 m was very happy with it also known as Switzer. Turbo manuf by b&g now known only as b&g from what I understand first one lasted approx 725+ k i

 

At 6.2 mpg I will stick with my fine tuned CAT doing 7.0 locally run. And it AINT STOCK.......just saying

 

Just put on another 5 was ago I like the price cheaper than rebuilt Garrett paid $868 w tax at Truckpro have since found on Internet for as low as about $650 I'd say if you have close to 700k on current turbo at least have a new b& g on board good product my last truck blew the turbo under warranty also in the 300k now I remember I had an extra warranty up to 500 k on a few things which is why I purchased that truck a repo w 175 k it was a 99 now I have a 2001 also just replaced injector new to this forum trying to ask about white smoke blowing now I think I found answer improper torque maybe don't know specs need torque specs for injector and rockers may have to redo meanwhile trying to figure out how to post a question!!!

 

what do you need? torque spec for injectors and rockers? if yes I can help you.

 

anyone have rebels127 contact info?

 

Can I ask who did your tune? I have a straight 430 also and wanna turn it up

 

Rebel127.


Picked up my 1996 w900 from Detroit on Friday pm. Orig stock 430. Complete inframe bc I didn't have any history on the motor. That's what they put back into it for a tune: I bought it a few months back with a Pittsburgh Power 600 horse ecm that was gutless.
I had the 5915 injectors installed, will be getting the proper turbo to go along with the proper tune to match my other w900 that Rebel127 did.

I never really paid attention to my fuel mileage much in the past: past couple months I kept records. Lowest was 6.92 last week tank to tank. Consistently over 7mpg short haul, os, NYC traffic.
