upping horse power and torque. can i do it?

I don't know the isx but the N14 could be turned to 500 by changing setting. to goto 525 you had to change parts. turbo and injectors if I remember right. that last 25hp was expensive

 

Yeah but the 200lb of torque was worth it, in my opinion it was more than 25hp in reality and if you had a 460 it would go to 525hp.

Not sure on isx, but if you can dont mess with the smart torque crap, just set it to a straight 525/1850.

 

I almost bought an early ninties binder cabover that had a 435 N14 originally. when they overhauled it they set it to 500. They guy tld me they said to go to 525 they needed to start throwing parts at it. that is the extent of my knowledge so take it for what it's worth. I never even looked at a cummins before last year

 

Yeah the 435s could only go to 500 without a turbo and injector change, i ment 460hp but typed 360, sorry.

 

The answer is yes and no. If it was a major bump the drivetrain might not be spec'd to handle it and the dealer should say no. But unless somebody was really cost concious at the time they had the truck built there shouldn't be a problem going from 1750 to 1850.

Naturally the 600HP/2050ftlb ISX rating is a totally different story.

 

It is easy.... You can even do it yourself go to the Cummins website and download Powerspec, it is free. Then buy a cable from Cummins for about 700 bucks and change the parameters from your laptop.

 

$700 for a cable?! Ouch! It better be easy after that much coin!

 

Can the 485hp 1850 be bumped up to 2050? Money not an issue what would it take to do it?

 

This is basically the answer, just find out if the same spec parts are used for the higher hp and torque or not. Sometimes they use different injectors, etc and if you don't have the right parts that can handle the pressures you might have issues.
