Is that your stock 600 ecm setting? You didnt get the flash file # did you? I think a lot of my fuel millage comes from the manifold and huge turbine housing. I dont think my ecm is contributing to much of the millage, im sure id get better with a stock setting. This sucker pushes a lot of fuel with just a touch of the throttle, crap load of smoke rolls out when i just blip the throttle, it wouldnt do that with a stock 6NZ computer. But im not about to change that either!
I hardly ever go full power, 25psi of boost is more than enough to get it moving with a full load, i still hammer on it pretty good though when the opportunity arises so dont get me wrong![]()

hey 550 I got a 02 6nz motor what would it take to make 750hp
-
A flash to 600 7CZ file and fuel numbers.
-
^^^^ What he said, you will need a turbo at this point though. You could get the marine injectors if you cant find anybody to flash your ecm. On the stock 6NZ ecm with a turbo, manifold, maybe a fuel wire and some trim codes you should be putting that to the wheels, i bet it would be closer to 800hp though.

Have you by any chance received my last email sent 09/11/08?
No problem if you have been too busy to check, or respond;
After a couple of lost emails, I just have no confidence in my "new, improved email system". -
would using a c16 ecm work then?
-
Yeah, bolt it right on, have the trim codes set to 6999 and you will be very happy. If you are wanting more and get the marine injectors you will need a 3406B or a C18 manifold, the 600 program will push the power up there with the injectors and will run very hot on the exhaust.
-
would i still need new turbo? and have you heard of anybody changing the junk wastegated turbo to a cummins none wastegated signiture 600 turbo?
-
Not the sig 600 turbo, yeah they do use cummins turbos but i dont like them since the exhaust housing is still kinda small, think they use the N14 525hp turbo or something bigger, the sig has a tiny exhaust housing. Pittsburgh power is working on a turbo right now for us, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and then there is MI turbo that i am using right now.
If you have a 550 turbo you can get away with it as long as the ecm has stock settings, with a FLS of 127 i can tell you that the turbo is way to small and you will be pegging over 1200*F on the pyro in no time. -
The turbo on my signature is actually a lot smaller than i would have thought.
If it goes im upgrading.. between that and sports mufflers i should have a nice backpressure reduction.
