I'm finally getting my upgrade turbo put on, after 3 years running a JUNK Smeding Diesel turbo after my orig 2014 turbo died. I couldn't find the ford Upgrade turbo when the orig one died and had to go with that Smeding turbo. had some health issues for past 3 years but my shoulder is finally healed up enough to work on it.
Surprised you’re still running the EGR cooler. I’ve been deleted with H&S tunes since 16K miles. My EGR (unplugged) finally started leaking internally around 165K. Yanked it off and no more burning coolant out of the secondary reservoir. Keep an eye on yours for sure. This turbo and the S&S DCR pump are on my short list of future mods!
Road draft has a venturi effect because of the angle and causes slight vacuum to suck the gasses out. Stock with s clean filter does the same thing. This, will cause a leak or backup way faster. Route it to your exhaust with a venturi for the best results
You can do just the turbo and items required to fit the turbo. I just went above and beyond in the name of reliability since I drive long distances often in it.
I also have the CCV delete and I had a bung welded into the exhaust to hook the hose to. It creates a vacuum to assist with the crankcase ventilation and keeps oil droppings from marring up my driveway.
I would like to do the bung setup soon, I get tired of the fumes being on the driver side. No oil issues really. I used Rohling Diesel for this entire install.
How much did that kit cost? Just curious because it looks expensive and if I’m gonna spend that much money to upgrade my 2011, I’m probably just gonna go compounds because how much more could it possibly cost and compounds would definitely outperform a single
You’re not putting in a 15’ high pressure fuel pump! You’re installing an DCR pump engineered by S&S diesel. Diesel Common Rail. You really wouldn’t need the disaster prevention kit.. but it won’t hurt.
In the first 30 seconds of your video you said that you have 250,000 miles on your truck and then said that the twin turbo you have in it is unreliable and fails prematurely. I don’t think both those statements can be true lol
Good informative video. Done very well. I had the ccv delete with the hose.. Stinks bad, lots of vapor when the engine is hot. added a catch can and smell and vapor is gone.
hello matt every time you upload a video you have to change it to Indonesian. because Indonesia is one of the most populous on earth. and the largest internet user after China and India. So there will definitely be a lot of viewers. it's just a suggestion from me your big fan
Congrats on the new upgrades! I did the KC Warlock kit on my '12 a couple of months ago. I'm enjoying the added power after I got the tuning figured out. Was I hearing your fan engaged when you were testing the truck? I thought I could hear it in the video. Just curious...
I got a deal on the parts and labor so I couldn’t tell you. But if you want to call Full Force Diesel and Rohlings Diesel they could give you a ball park estimate.
I'm a little far north (Montana) but I appreciate your reply. Done a little digging and it looks like 3k for the parts and prob 800-2k for the labor. Seems worth it to me. Have you noticed any change in MPG? I assume it's negligible
I’m surprised your stock exhaust manifolds weren’t warped mine did around 200k. I’m surprised you didn’t run the new gen cp4 that doesn’t destroy the fuel system when it fails eliminating the need for the disaster prevention kit.
If by "new style CP4" you mean the RCD CPX, that pump can still fail as its still a CP4 at the end of the day. S&S's DCR pump however is not and has been proven to be more reliable.
I got a 2012 6.7 that I upgraded with the same kit. Once the turbo has spooled up I love it, but from a dead stop the turbo has a hard time spooling up. Did you mess with VGT parameters to get the spool a little quicker? Pulling my RV... from a dead stop the truck almost feels like it is stalling out. It has taken the turbo 10 seconds to spool up before... any ideas?
