Motor Upgrades

TXGLASSMAN · Apr 26, 2012

Well guys these trucks been out a while and we all that own one have figured out the exhaust and tuners.

But I'm writing this post curious to know who's working on motor upgrades

Injectors, turbos, inter coolers, things like that

Anyone know of any of the builders out there working on motor stuff for these 6.7s?

Industrial Injection has compounds I believe.

Spe has a video on here a while back they had compounds

I'm curious about upgraded cp3's since they seem to be a limiting factor in the fuel system.

i believe SPE and ii's trucks with compounds broke the rods, and i thought i heard SPE got a sweet window mod.. i might be wrong.. but i do know for a fact they havent been working out so well. I'd like to see a bigger single on them rather than adding a LP on to the already crappy stock charger.

:whs:
I have a feeling some of the mentioned companies went back to the drawing boards. The rods weren't holding much and these turbos can just barely make it by on heavy tuning.
I'm with Eric though, I want a nice fat single on this truck to wake it up some. I hope that some good power mods come out closer to summer, I'm missing the HP Club meetings lol
Besides the power though, I wouldn't trade my truck for a thing!

Ya I haven't seen many live over 500 hp

As soon as i go pick mine up were gona look into building a better single turbo for the 6.7.

powerstrokin15 · Apr 27, 2012

there's room in there for a bigger one. I don't know if the stock location would be great though.. it'll get tight there quick. but other than that I don't see why a 64-66mm wouldn't be great. I know they fuel less, so a smaller charger like a 64 might work great. might drop EBP too. I don't know the stock spec though.

I hope to work on a replacment intake manifold and true twin turbo set up in the near future. But like others have said the bottom end will need some improvment to handle high horsepower and cylinder pressure. The cp4 pump is also a limiting factor that will need adressed.

Was looking up here and didn't see anything about them so I figured I'd post incase yall haven't seen them... SPE has developed some rods for the 6.7 now. Stock on the bottom, SPE on the top

wow, the stock one looks really flimsy

01PSD · May 13, 2012

Yeah they worked along with Carillo to get these done :ford: ready to see what they come up with next

17BLKplat · May 13, 2012

I need to get my pennies together! I feel like the parts may come on like a flood soon... and I wanna be part of it :evil

TXGLASSMAN · May 16, 2012

i agree ive been debating on a 6.4 to start building as a play toy but i might sit back and hold off a while off a little while longer and just see what these guys have cooking for these new 6.7s.

i think as soon as somone turns out the 1st non exhaust / turner / egr delete part. it will be like turning on a lite switch and with in days there will be all kinds of stuff that will be able to be done to these trucks

I'm working on a set of 6.7L heads now. I haven't had them on a flow bench yet but there are plenty of improvements that could be made with these heads, especially where port velocity is concerned.

Is that a stock 6.7 rod on the bottom or a stock 302 rod? LOL

HairyPalmer · May 17, 2012

im a 7.3 guy.... looking at newer trucks. The 6.7 is really failing at 500 hp on stock bottom end? Enlighten me please, a newer truck doesn't seem so awesome if thats the case.

quicksilver11 · May 17, 2012

I really wouldn't let that be a deciding factor on buying one of these trucks.

Dustball8504 · May 22, 2012

If any of you guys are on the Elite news letter list then you should've gotten an e-mail stating they have connecting rods, pushrods and valve springs for the 6.7 now. I can't find them on the site to link here but it would be worth looking into.
