Installing a governor spring in your stock Cummins p-pump is not difficult. With the right tools and a little bit of time, anyone can do it. We’ll walk you through four simple steps to replacing your governor springs: Remove battery cable, horn, shutdown solenoid, and actuator arm Remove old governor springs (Leave large outer spring […]
Pre-Race Prep and a Troublesome Cam Gear If you have been following us and our Ultimate Callout Challenge build, you have seen us put together a killer engine…and you’ve seen us break a lot of stuff. We broke a couple of camshafts, built a cover to support the camshaft, then broke a cam gear. We […]
We get asked a lot, “Why would you put fire rings on a diesel?” We’re here to answer this question. Stock head gaskets have factory fire rings built into them. When we add an o-ring to the block, it protrudes up about .010” and adds an extra “crimp” to the gasket. This is usually good […]
We’re covering fuel injectors, specifically the difference between VCO versus SAC injectors. There are a few main differences that we’ll cover in this article: VCO nozzles tend to be quieter and allow for more power. However, the fuel pattern can be weak at the beginning of the injection event. SAC nozzles are louder, and better […]
In our latest test of the SXE series turbos, were doing the SXE369 with a T3, .80 divided housing. It’s a pretty small housing for this big turbo, and we want to see how much spool-up we can get out of this housing. S369SX-E .80ar Turbine Housing 73mm TurbineWatch this video on YouTube Like our […]
The Power Driven Diesel turbo tuner is a first-of-its-kind in-cab adjustable boost controller designed specifically for high-boost applications in turbo diesel trucks. With the turn of a knob, you can increase or decrease boost pressure for your driving and power needs. Our Turbo Tuner has an internal bleed, so you get no whistle or whine […]
In our latest BorgWarner test, we’re running the SXE364.5 again. But this time, we’re stepping up to a .91 turbine housing. We previously tested this turbo with a .70 housing, so this is quite the step up. Like our previous tests, this will be made up of two runs, the first is an unloaded dyno […]
This time we are testing the the BorgWarner SXE362 with a T4 .83 turbine housing. As with past tests, we are going to run this turbo under the same conditions: an unloaded run, and a run with the dyno loaded with 5,500lbs. BorgWarner SXE362 Test 1 Results: Unloaded 1300-3200rpm The results of the first test […]
This time we tested the BorgWarner turbos S362SX-E diesel turbo with a T4 .91 A/R non-wastegated turbine housing and a 68mm turbine. We have previously tested it with a .70 housing, making about 545hp. We will compare the two tests and see how they compare. Will the gains in horsepower be worth a loss in […]
This time, we’re testing the BorgWarner SXE364 with a .70 housing and the popular 68mm turbine wheel. We want to see how its spool up and power compare to the SXE362. Like all SXE turbos, this has the 360 thrust bearing, a billet compressor wheel, and a larger compressor cover. Like all our tests, we […]
