How many horsepower does an ISX 600 engine have?

Overview: Engine Model Advertised HP (kW) Peak Torque LB-FT (Nm) @ RPM ISX 600 600 (447) 2050 (2779) @ 1200 ISX 600 600 (447) 1850 (2508) @ 1200 ISX 550 550 (410) 1850 (2508) @ 1200 ISX 525 525 (392) 1850 (2508) @ 1200

When did the Cummins ISX engine start having problems?

In 2008, Cummins began noticing the SCR system experienced failing revolving parts, interfering with the engine’s horsepower. Clogged inlets came about in 2010 when recirculation was occurring, also affecting HP.

How does the ISX engine improve fuel economy?

The ECM can activate each fuel injector up to five times per combustion cycle. The single camshaft improvement creates a better fuel economy and reduces emissions to stay parallel with EPA standards. By 2013, the ISX gained on-board diagnostics to track the engine’s emissions. This change increased fuel efficiency compared to previous versions.

What kind of particulate filter does an ISX engine have?

Particulate filter: An ISX engine has a fully integrated particulate filter for uncompromised performance by reducing particulate matter. Single overhead camshaft: Versions made after 2010 have a single camshaft system with a common rail fuel operation that relies on piston pumps to inject diesel.

What are new horsepower ratings for Cummins ISX15?

The new fuel-efficient ratings build upon the class-leading low-end torque that is readily available at 1,000 rpm. Customers who traditionally opted for a 485 hp or 500 hp rating to access 1,850 lbs.-ft. of torque can now benefit from the superior fuel economy of operating at a lower rpm while satisfying performance expectations.

Which is the most common ISX failure in a Cummins?

The turbocharger is one of the most notorious ISX failures and is expensive to fix. While they are ideal for direct throttle response, VGTs often experience a buildup of carbon, soot, rust and other contaminants.
