Why does my turbo take so long to spool up?
Why does my turbo take so long to spool up?
Whats up with this? You may have a boost leak. It may be taking long to hit 19 b/c the boost is slowly leaking out somewhere, so your turbo is working extra hard but is still able to get you to 19psi. Your software will tell your turbo to spin harder and harder until the n75 reads 19psi.
What is wrong with the6.0 Powerstroke?
The 6.0L Powerstroke is known for having major problems. Most of these problems originate from the factory design. Other 6.0L Powerstroke problems include HPOP failure, injector stiction, FICM failure, and clogging oil coolers. Fortunately, once these problems are addressed, the trucks are much more reliable.
Is the6.0 Powerstroke good?
They both are reliable, get good mileage, and have great power. The Ford Powerstroke 6.0 is not a bad engine at all. With proper maintenance, diagnostics, and competent repairs, these engines are as good or better than any of the other diesel pickup motors out there.
What causes a 6.0L Turbo to fail?
Early 6.0L Powerstroke trucks also suffer from a poor oil drain tube. The collection of oil in the turbocharger can result in the oil cooking. This has been the root cause of many all-out turbocharger failures in the 6.0L Powerstrokes. Ford gave ’06 and ’07 models an improved oil drain tube, resulting in drastically less turbo failures.
Which is the best turbo for 6.0 Powerstroke?
The Fleece Cheetah turbo is one of the most popular turbo upgrades for 6.0 Powerstroke due to their huge gain in power coupled with reliability and drop-in installation. When you rate a common rail injector, you simply compare it to how much more fuel it flows than stock, like 40% over, 100% over and so on.
Why is my Ford 6.0L Powerstroke not working?
Ford’s 6.0L Powerstroke came with Hydraulically actuated electronically controlled unit injectors (HEUI), similar to the 7.3L Powerstroke. These injectors are prone to static friction, or stiction, which is the result of carbon and sludge build up within the HEUI injectors’ spool valves.
What are the problems with a 6.0 liter power stroke engine?
1) Ford 6.0L HPOS (High Pressure Oil System) The 6.0L Power Stroke fuel injection system operates on oil pressure, very high oil pressure. Problems with the HPOS are oil leaks (internal to the engine) due to failed/deteriorated O-rings that are caused by excessive oil temperatures (bad oil cooler) and high pressure.

What causes a no start on a 6.0L diesel?
Rough start, no start, and rough running conditions often occur due to the FICM, or Fuel Injection Control Module. The FICM supplies 48 volts to the two solenoids that control oil flow to the fuel injector. Excessive heat from the engine and vibration can cause the FICM to overheat or fail.
What makes a performance Turbo different from a stock Turbo?
Performance turbos differ from stock in a number of ways: most have larger housings (which increase air-flow,) larger wastegates (that prevent premature “blow-open”,) and some “ball bearing turbos” replace the bushing with ball bearings providing quicker “spool-up”.
