Can the EZ do what is says it can?

[Okie-Go]

Bill, hope you found it. Thanks wyojim. My computer isen't smart enough to make a smiley much less all that fancy stuff.

OK fellas,
I had the truck tested for emissions, and left the EZ on. According to Progressive Auto,who did the emission,it dynoed at 206. I am not complaining,because when I pull my 5th wheel,the EZ has made a wonderful difference. I think the EZ is awesome. I dont think the dyno they use gives accurate info.

Here's a pic of my dyno runs. First run is with only the boost module portion of the EZ box plugged in. Second run is with everything plugged in. There's about a 100 hp difference at 1900 rpm. Peak torque is 548 first run,683 second run. Other mods on truck are jardine 4" exhaust,hx40,and scotty air. A truck with the stock hx35 12cm on it will only show about 80 hp difference in runs.

Bill, get the EZ, it does every thing they claim it does. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/ubb//Forum3/HTML/003540.html
Just click this Bill. I did and it worked.

Are you saying that EGT's don't go up when you add the EZ box?

Then why did my max temps go up 250*???

I'm not saying that the box doesn't show noticiable power. . it is a pretty awesome box. But my point is this. If the box really adjusts timing... where's the proof! Nobody has even tried monitoring what this box is really doing.

I'm just trying to dig down below the surface to try and find out what this box really does. I know a couple of people who have monitored their VP-44 and ECM and said that the timing isn't being changed. So again. . what is this box really doing? I guess you can say that inquiring minds want to know???

With the EZ box only your saying your EGT's went up 250&deg;? No injectors, no exhaust break, but "Stock" exhaust. . right?

Your altitude plays a part in that. When I take my EZ on and off the truck temps are the "same" other then maybe 50 &deg; difference.

As it was stated above, it does not give its "max" hp gain at the peak hp of the engine. If you have the dyno chart available look down between 1600 and 2100 rpm and then compare the difference in HP, thats where you will see the EZ shine. 30 to 40hp at the "peak" hp sounds perfectly ok to be with my past experiences.

If you use the EZ without the boost part, you will see higher EGT's because the added boost helps lower the EGT's. The VA will have the same affect with a boost module.

Yep. . stock with the EZ box... you were here when I installed it stock. Even after I put the RE-0880 air filter on. My max temps without the EZ were around 1000* and went up to about 1300* with the EZ.

Hey Wyo-Jim and Okie,

I keep trying to get the post on the EZ from Okie but nothing comes up for me. My computor keeps telling me it can't find the web. I typed the heading exactly as Wyo-Jim said to do it. That's OK. I don't need to read the post. I am convinced that the EZ is my next add on. On thursday I am having a Jacobs exhaust brake installed at my dealer. After I pay for that and get a few bucks I will get the EZ. Thanks guys.

Started with Square K&N & 275's. EGT's were 200deg over stock... .

After adding EZ WITH the boost elbow -- EGT's dropped to 50 deg BELOW stock. . All testing done at sea level... .

Straight piped 3" and they dropped a little more. . Will change to 4" and larger turbo before adding more fuel.

From Diesel Injector Services web page:

Power Edge EZ - The Power Edge EZ is a plug in module that maximizes engine efficiency by monitoring the RPM, timing, turbo boost pressure and fueling parameters to determine both fueling and timing enhancements for the Bosch fuel injection pump. The re-mapping of the timing and fueling parameters is done via the CAN-BUS communication system. The CAN-BUS protocol is used to communicate between the Cummins Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Bosch fuel injection pump. All data sent from the Power Edge EZ is within the limits of the Bosch fuel injection pump... The Power Edge provides an additional 65 rear wheel horsepower and an additional 185 foot pounds of torque.

Has anyone accurately dyno'd a stock truck with just the Power Edge. Are these numbers at the top end of the results curve or just the best that has been achieved in testing this box? I realize that this may be redundant, but I got to thinking about something I read in the latest TDR about the stock clutch being good to about 550 ft. lbs. of torque. This box would probably put most 5 and 6 speed owners over the limit. My clutch is fine, so far.

See my mod's below. EGT's w/o EZ are about 100 degrees hotter than with the EZ (13XX vs 14XX). And that is with the boost module/elbow installed for both cases.

The graph posted is higher than normal - note where biggest change is, there is a "slump" in the stock curve - typically see ~50-60HP increase in that range, and around 35-40HP at peak. I have personally dynoed stock trucks w/and w/o the EZ, so I'm not just quoting someone else's #'s.

If you don't believe it does what they say, get your money back or don't buy one. Very simple solution.

I don't know about accurately, but BIG A dyno'd his stock truck with just and EZ and the results were 206 HP.

here are my corrected #'s with my stock truck and with the ez. these #'s are with a 1. 17 correction factor.
