Which is better a twin or single turbo?

Idle and mileage is better. You’re only goin 650 or so from the sound of it. If more than that I’d convert it or drop comp ratio a bit but you can always keep your twins, or even twin a 6NZ; or 7FB+++ (posted kit numbers years ago but use any turbo numbers you see fit).

What do you need to know about turbo installation?

It can be fuel or tune related as well Just to cover clocking in a quick fashion, all this requires is that you have the feed fitting perfectly vertical at the 12 o’clock position and the drain directly at the ground, 6 o’clock position.

Is the cat C15 momentum a turbo truck?

This turbo is a great upgrade for an otherwise stock truck. The small sized turbine housing will allow for quick spool up whole the larger compressor wheel is upping the boost. Apart from the stage 1, this turbo has a compressor wheel with a bigger inducer and overall diameter.

What was the problem with the Twin Cams?

The problem that haunted most of these early twin cam models was the fact that the chains were made with sharp ridges on the outer plates that quickly ate away at the plastic tensioner. being spring loaded, there was always constant pressure on that chain, unlike newer models where the tensioners fill with oil.

How much does a ful inframe kit cost?

I will buy the parts here where I do lots of business and a ful inframe kit is 2500. our shop bills 40 hrs @ $101.00 = $4000. buy genuine cat parts. if you buy aftermarket parts, when it fails and you are doing it again you no longer have acceptable cores for cat. buy a platinum kit and a turbo cat will pay for the 3 year warranty

Is the turbine housing of a cat Turbo interchangeable?

It’s important to note that ALL of these turbos have the same turbine wheel, thus making the turbine housings interchangeable. That being said, if you would like the largest compressor size avilable, but the small 1.32 A/R turbine housing for quick spool up, we can put that together for you J.

Is there a problem with my 2006 Pete?

I bought a new 2006 Pete last year in March and I have been having a problem with this engine since I hit about 95,000 miles (2 months ago) This truck has been to 3 different shops, and all three shops know that the truck is missing but can’t seem to find the problem.

Why does my cat C15 engine have a vacuum?

Problem now is, no matter what filter i put on there, it is too restrictive, and so it is aerating the fuel and creating a vacuum on the engine (exit) side of the filter base. This is all theory, mind you, based on my own work. If this isn’t it, then I must have some restriction elswhere on the pressure side.
