Ez Lynk DIY Tuning

I saw HP Tuners has come out with a diesel tuning class with Nick from Calibrated Power/Duramax Tuner. I'm kicking around the idea of tuning my own truck as this sort of thing interests me and I can make changes that suit me and my truck specifically. I've started to try to compare the HP Tuners...

BD Exhaust manifold kits

Here’s what I can determine about the exhaust flow improvements of the BD manifolds. The goal is to retain exhaust energy (heat, velocity, and pressure) before the turbo, this will improve efficiency and response. So everyone is aware I replaced my turbo with an updated steel bearing SST, a...

Scientific Intake Selection and Review

Gonna button this up as I have been nudged towards adding some other mods that will move me out of the vacuum that was just the intake. Looking back at some of my data my MAF peaks for the same drive appeared to have increased from approximately 1200 kg/hr to 1300 kg/hr. My towing a trailer...

I can't find where that specific PID is being pulled from but its never gotten above 1 psi so there is no way that is drive pressure unless my truck is a miracle. I've found *** inlet pressure but from what I remember from fluids mechanics that won't tell us anything about the improvements made...

HeavyAssault, Any specific PIDs you want me to compare? I'm struggling thinking of one that might tell me how much better the manifold is flowing. EGTs maybe? There is a back pressure measurement but I believe that is across the ***.

BD Exhaust manifold kits

I bought a set for my 2011. Turbo started surging/fluttering under steady throttle up a hill with or without a trailer at 52-54 mph just like it's laid out in TSB 11-12-14. So while I'm in this far replacing to an updated '14 turbo and WW2 (make fun of me if you wish) I was going to do the studs...

Quick update. Made a large trip to Texas to bring back a trailer and Farmall H before a lot of the pandemonium. Drove into a headwind both directions. I'm also guessing that all the stations were still running winter diesel based on not seeing anything too different. On the way down I got two...

Thanks for the encouragement! I tried to find the topic with this in it as I thought it might make for an interesting read. Found a couple topics relating to the 6.7 intakes but none with a dyno test. Any way you could help me find it?

Scientific Intake Selection and Review

Why am I looking at temperatures and other thermodynamics? It seems like I have had a lot of questions around temperatures and why I bother looking at them. The turbo super heats the air and the intercooler cools it back down so it doesn’t matter what temperature the air goes into the intake...

Initial driving impressions and temperature data. Finally I was able to drive the truck after installing the intake. I did my same start up routine as the previous data runs above and did my morning commute with the truck. Let's start with my impressions. The truck definitely sounds more...

Installation: I watched the installation video the morning before I started the replacement. It all looked pretty straight forward. I had a couple buddies over for some beers while they watched me. I did my MAF data run for the before. I grabbed numbers shortly after start up, 2000 rpm, 3200 rpm...

I was heavily considering the no limit but a few minor things pushed me to the S&B. If the S&B doesn't do what I want I will get the No Limit as I have heard lots of positive reviews on it with data to back it up. I understand more peak power won't really happen which for me is only a bragging...

I'm checking the manufacturers claims against what I can determine with real world data and sharing my findings. The open air intake from S&B is relatively new and there wasn't anything out there on it. Cant say I know anything about it except what the manufacturer claims. For my purposes I am...

Great discussion here guys! I hadn't seen his testing but again good to know my hypothesis of ambient like underhood temperatures seems to be confirmed by others. I'm just going through the paces to make sure my upgrade is indeed an upgrade in all the areas I want it to be. I agree with you...

Glad to hear some of you can back up my hypothesis! This gives me hope I won't have to do any further modifications to get more cool air to the intake. For my own purposes and to keep this write up and review complete I will still gather data after the install and post my findings. Thanks...

Ordering and unboxing. I ordered the intake and prefilter directly off of the S&B website as they gave me the best deal after tax and shipping. I got the economy shipping and the packages arrived in 3 short days. When I got the packages I opened them up to inspect that everything appeared to be...

Outcomes of my baseline runs. For some future comparisons to test my hypothesis and make sure the intake does what I want it to, I took a couple baseline runs with the stock intake on some temperatures. The numbers seemed to be in line with what I have seen before as well. After 5 minutes of...

My selection process and outcome. My selection criteria for an intake was that it had a filter efficiency of stock or better, had a cleanable dry filter, someone somewhere made a dust cover for it, and improved fuel mileage. Throttle response improvements, room to grow for future modifications...
