Beware of twin turbos

[mattymac]

Atleast they circle the problem. LOL (Ford)

That explains everything! :-laf

I have heard that stupidity and ignorance breeds in groups but that crew is ridiculous!!!

I myself have always like ford trucks and i have driven powerstrokes 7. 3turbo, nothing wrong with that engine in my opinion, but im a firm believer in the Inline engine and Cummins has the best as im less than fifty miles from 92000 on my CTD, and wouldn't even thing of trading, selling or giving up my Cummins.

These fellas over there obviously must be part of the tree hugging community that drives diesels and have no clue as to the purpose behind a diesel engine, its called grunt work and thats what diesel's are born to do, pick up where everything else stops.

I guess i got a little after reading that post, 15 to 25 thousand for a twin turbo setup, not sure where he has done his research at but someone is getting ready to take him for a ride of his life if he believes that. And another thing i don't care what Navistar does to the next powerstroke or this 6. 0 they will never be able to carry Cummins's jock in the engine dept. or bottom end torq... .

I feel better now. :-laf

Ilike how that fool that's arguing says the 6. 0 will handle 120 psi of boost with ease, then in the next sentence says

The twins are available; the parts to keep the engine together are not. I was just discussing this with someone else in another thread; the HP 6. 0 industry is still waiting on connecting rods, head studs, and other such things...



To make the 6. 0 handle the boost, the entire intake tract has to be replaced, from the turbochargers to the intake elbow. This includes an intercooler, too, as the stock one would go off like a depth charge at that pressure

That moron contradicted himself within a matter of a couple sentences. They just don't get it.

Jim you're lookin' at it all wrong ...



just tell 'em you will make them a sat at half price ...



if they use their stock turbo for the little turbo ...



i can hear it now



"Those dodge guys are nuts ... my twins only cost me 12 thousand"

The 6. 0 can make decent power on drugs. They remind me of the Duramax engine, They can make power but with no hard parts such as turbos, studs, injectors, it hard for them to make power big power on #2 only. Both those engines ony see about 28-34/35 max boost and when you run more drugs through them than the 70's ever seen then I guess you will make some power. I would rather build a mild set of twins that cost 10k in ALL TRUCK MODS! (ex. intake, exhaust, twins, trans, motor work, injectors, pump or electronics, guages, everything!) and have a useable/towable 500+hp/400+hp without an EGT issue and have the power all day long, than have a 600hp truck for about 5 seconds and have to fill NOS bottles and get winshield washer fluid every day or two that I can only tow with about 300 V8hp. If I was worried about going that fast I would have started with a viper. But with the cummins I can have a viper feel with freightliner towing charachteristics. Cummins has set the bar extremely high and I think that with all the advancements in technology it will take the other big 2 a long time to relize whats really up. Hard to beat #2 oil power!

Points to Ponder





Did anyone else notice the header at the Ford website?

Ford Truck Enthusiast Website​

You have to be enthusiastic to drive a 6. 0 diesel!

I am a ford guy and i wont even claim those guys. WOW what a bunch of ummmm.



A 6. 0 with twins I dont think so. Have you guys seen under the hood. it is a nitemare.

lmao!

i for one will say good job forrest for stepping in and correcting them. if they had any longer to think, who know what would have been said... . oh and i love the part where the 6. 0 has to spend money to beef up the internals just so it could take a chance to run with our trucks! oh well i guess well have to keep thinking that and come back in a year :-laf

I used to work for Ford as a contractor. The afore mentioned web site sounds like the Dearborn engineering staff was allowed to get on the internet after a few to many scotches. Those boobs in Dearborn, last I heard, were reinventing the wheel Hindu style.



If the Ford faithful only knew who is designing their rides! Nasser threw out the "Brain Trust" in favor of a more "diverse" workforce from overseas. You get what you pay for. I personally know many of those old, backward thinking white guys (engineers) that were canned, in the name of a more "diverse" workforce.



The head engineer from Bhopal India, has a difficult time communicating with the recently graduated engineering student from Iowa. One doesn't know squat about the American car biz, and the other one knows it all! Try to figure out who is who, and who wins and who looses.



Diverse, does not mean qualified. Go figure?
