How much boost?

[IDIeselman]

Are you 1st Gen guys pushing? I have access to a pile of these 5.9's and am thinkink of putting one of the turbos on my 6.9 , Free is a very good price for a turbo!

 

[92 D/UNIT]

i have my hx 34/12 adjusted at 35 lbs. but will go past 40lbs with the mods in my signature. im not sure what a 6.9 can handle. free is a very good price actually its the best price ! what models do you have access to. im in the market for hx 40.

Whatta ya mean a pile? I want a whole 5.9 engine with turbo for a 'project'... I'll give ya a generous finders fee...

 

[IDIeselman]

All but 1 are the 1st gen parts trucks ,There is one 94 but it was ran with the pedal to the floor and the pypo pegged until it would no longer move, Even the turbo is junk.

SKimballC, NO You would only use it for evil doings

 

[SKimballC]

Evil? Nah...blasphemous maybe, depending on who you talk to...but certainly not EVIL

 

[IDIeselman]

I'll check sunday and see what's up but this man usually don't want to get off complete engines. By the way...... WHAT may I ask is the 'PROJECT'?

 

[SKimballC]

Certainly not putting one into any Ferds or nothing. Pfffffft.

 

[rubberfish]

The Cummins turbo's with the right exhaust housing
can run efficiently up to about 38 lbs. That should
be just about enough to grenade your 6.9.
You can set the wastegate where ever you want.
For the most part, they're strong turbos.
Much tougher than a HX40 which tend to
snap shafts

38 lbs I'd be picking up the 6.9 with a shovel and spoon, 14 is the max she'll handle and that's pushing it.

Then don't put a first gen turbo on it as they were 18lbs to 20 lbs stock. I'm running about 35 PSI now with my injection pump tuned down.

 

[paccool]

How 'bout 60 psi plus? The big sticks I tried recently pegged my 60 pound gauge. Course it took me two turbos to get there! See the signature.

Some guys running higher than that though, gotta respect 'em.

 

[TGM]

I would be interested in anything 1st gen... My 93 D350 will need parts sooner rather than later.

And Paccool, would like to chat about some of the stuff you done to your rig when you got time...
