26 years old and new to the O/O business. Because of people like you who are willing to share knowledge will help me tremendously to be up to par to the competition!!!
Start the truck that's what we waited for.
I am from Iran and I love American trucks when i was a child . I'm now a truck driver in Iran. I really love your company and customize the motors of the trucks you do. My great wish is to be able to migrate to the United States, and there is a truck driver. 🙂🙂😊✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤠🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😍😍😍😍
From single to twin turbo!!! Very nice!!!!!
I find it interesting that some people add turbos to single turbo diesels, and some replace 2 turbos with one on a Cat. Also, I'm really impressed that such a huge modification can still retain the smog devices.
A Dyno run at the end would have been nice.
Agreed! Dyno action is always cool! There is a video with this set up on the dyno in a separate video on our page. ruclips.net/video/1Y2zu0D3ryY/видео.html
timwas happynwith my B61
Lt with a 673C engine. cheap,to run. only ran north n.j. thank you ray scott
Cummins should have done this from the factory !! Nice kit
Thank you sir!
Big corporate Cummins would never admit that some innovative independent shop could produce something better then their "expert engineers".
@@dougkratz5269 Cummins have "big people to answer to" and behave according to a set of rules "handed" to them if they wish to stay around and in business.
Not defending them, just mentioning what a lot of people either conveniently "forget" or give very little thought to.
Back in the day, Cummins did make a twin turbo NTC with step timing control and it was rated at 475 hp or so. The VGT turbo on an ISX can support a lot of power though, and adding more air to a diesel is a win always.
Please make one for an mx13 🙏🏻 😆
Very sweet kit 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn you make this look real easy
Really good video work.
Awesome
Now i want to upgrade my turbo. I have a 1991 T-800 with a Big Cam Cummins.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Amazing stuff
Thanks!
very well presented.
Thank you kindly!
Very good
If i met this guy at a supermarket i would still know that he works on diesels... Lol
I never seen a diesel mechanic that big
Nice kit.
Thank you sir!
Great video and presentation. That Sly Stallone voice though just made it better.
Thank you! I will pass that on to the big guy.
Suns out= guns out. Nice work bud.
I would like to see a video of a installation of a bigboss turbo and manifold on a ISX .I have a 475 and I'm bout to rebuild my engine and I been talking to WILL about the kit I will need to upgrade my engine .
We will definetely get a turbo and manifold install on an ISX on the list for future videos.
pdidiesel Ok..I have an 2004 engine so hopefully y'all can do something before the 2008 engines. Thanks for the reply.
on a 600hp factory engine what kind of gains could you get with the added turbo and tuning?
The gain is 15%-20% over stock settings. The add a turbo is to move the air to keep exhaust and intake temps low to utilize the power and torque efficiently. The average fuel mileage gains are 1 mile per gallon with this set up.
at what stock hp setting does those 15-20% apply to? also do you have to reprogram to balance the boost? or does it just add more boost on top of what the factory turbo puts out? and lastly I have a 2014 international prostar will there be an adapter kit based on the truck cause i know my air cleaner and exhaust isn't run the same way as this peterbuilt
Good questions! The 15-20% increase is based on the engine's peak HP output. We do slow down the primary VGT turbo about 20% to take some work load off of it, and make the compound setup work properly. This kit is designed for the long hooded 389 Peterbilt and W900 Kenworth. We are able to do custom applications in our shop, but there are no plans for adapters for other model trucks. Thanks for watching!
Super nice.
Hey do u guys have an add aturbo for a 1995 t600 ddec3 12.7?
You made this look super easy.
Oh by the way. I have a 171702 Borg Warner
We don't offer a pre-built kit for that engine in a T600. Sorry!
I have a ddec iv 12.7 that I am building a compound setup for. The T600 can be tight under the hood so im not sure if it will fit or not. I have run the numbers and the best setup (for normal use not racing) is the factory waste gated 12.7 turbo and a SXE400 in 88mm (sxe is the billit compressor wheel version) configuration running the 1.32 a/r turbine housing. Should good for about 600-750 on a little tune. The piping work for a series 60 is dead simple so any decent shop can make it up.
Great vid big homie str8 forward and simple. Informative as hell,"thanks for not talking to much,love them like this,a man's rnd video.#10 like 👍
Thanks Terrance
Du you spray Ad-Bleu true the 2e turbo? Or did you Ad-Bleu delete?
Yes, factory design stays the same. Nothing deleted.
START IT !!!
I would be interested in the atmospheric turbos specs. To me it looks like a S400 with a 1.32 ar 96mm Ty turbine and a 75-80mm billit compressor wheel and a custom compressor housing with a 90° tig welded on....... Or something very similar in size!
Pretty dang close! We now have this compressor housing cast, so no welding the 90 on any longer.
@@pdidiesel nice! If you said it was an 88mm flowing up to about 135lbs/min @ a 2.6 pr then I know exactly how much power potential I have in my truck lol. And that my math was correct when I spec'd mine out
How's it affect the Jake brakes on an isx 2350? What happens if you don't do the ecm tuning? Does it add boost? And will egt's stay lower when running 38-40 PSI boost currently for 5-10 minutes on a daily pull?
The jakes improve due to the compound set up. You would need some tuning to run this efficiently, it does add some boost and the EGT's stay much cooler on a hard pull. With our Intake manifold a long hard pull the Pyro will hit 800 - 850 max.
I have a dumb question, aren't you dumping diesel into the top hot side turbo by having the dosing injector in between the two?
On the isx and x series the dose system is for def, its not like a cat ard head tgat injects diesel
Can this turbo system be installed for the Volvo Vnl Truck with the Cummin X 15 engine with 565 hp ??!! 😊🤔
Thank you very much if you answer my question.😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for your great and practical page and your very professional company🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🏵🇺🇸👏🏻😍
Unfortunately not, not enough room under the hood. You could run our big boss tuner and intake manifold though! That would gain alot on HP/TQ/Fuel Efficiency
Good deal
11/20/2021 ; Do you have any results of this kit on the x15e Efficiency Series? Power and Fuel Economy I'm looking for
The gains would be the same on the efficiency series in regards to HP/TQ gains.
does that compound kit fit a cm2350 on a t680?
It will if you brought the truck to our shop for a custom built piping kit and install.
Does all that fit under the hood of a t660?
This set up is designed for a long hood truck, we have done some custom installs on a few aero trucks, but it is definitely a challenge.
I wonder if this would fit in my Lonestar
Never done one on a Lonestar. It would likely be very tight, we have done a couple sets on 579 & 567 aero peterbilts. The kit is designed for a 389 and W900L.
Does this work for a Peterbilt 386 2007 Cummins isx
No sir. Sorrry 2010- current ISX15/X15
How many horsepower you add with this awesome kit?
The gain is 15%-20% over stock settings. The add a turbo is to move the air to keep exhaust and intake temps low to utilize the power and torque efficiently. The average fuel mileage gains are 1 mile per gallon with this set up.
Is this kit " Ca Legal " by chance?
I'd be curious to see what the X15 version will look like. Are you guys currently in R&D?
We do not have CARB E.O. for this set up. However, it will not affect the emissions output of the engine, so to that regard it can be ran as you see fit. It is available now for the X15. Thanks!
Could this work on my 2012 Freightliner cascadia Cummins Isx15?
No. Not enough room under the hood. But you could run our big boss tuner and intake manifold. That would give you much better HP/TQ/Fuel Efficiency
What's the cost? I have 2019 peterbilt 579 a year old. If I were to to that. Will it void the warranty?
Yes it would void warranty with the add-a-turbo. The Intake manifold and tuner you can avoid warranty issues for the most part. The Tuner is $2350, Intake manifold is $1350 and the Add-a-Turbo kit is $5500. Thanks for watching!
That is amazing
Can this setup done to DD15 Casscadia 2011
No sir, not through us anyway.
The biggest concern I'm having is how reliable is this setup? Have you guys had customers who been running this for a while ? Just curious to know about the longevity.
Yes sir! We have customers that have now been running this for close to 4 years, many are well over 400- 500K miles with this setup and still going strong. Give us a call if you have questions on it. 1-888-588-7113 Thanks
Do you sell new gaskets for this set up?
Working 4 years strong 💪🏻
Is worth the $$$?
Where is your shop I have a x 15 Cummins I need to get it done
Sorry for the late response! We are in St. George Utah. We do have dealers all over the US and Canada as well.
How much HP and torque does this increase?
With the Big Boss Tuner, it is overall about 20% increase.
Do you have this kit for t680 isx
You can bring the truck to our shop for a custom build/installation. But the kit is built/designed for a long hood Peterbilt 389/KW W900L.
Nice kit, how much hp increase can you expect out of the kit?
The gain is 15%-20% over stock settings. The add a turbo is to move the air to keep exhaust and intake temps low to utilize the power and torque efficiently. The average fuel mileage gains are 1 mile per gallon with this set up.
Can you order these straight to a mechanics shop ?
Yes, many people have us ship the kit straight to there mechanic's shop, and have them installed that way.
I have t680 I dont think another turbo would fit under the hood
Probably correct. It would be awful tight.
What the advantage of having it ?
The gain is 15%-20% over stock settings. The add a turbo is to move the air to keep exhaust and intake temps low to utilize the power and torque efficiently. The average fuel mileage gains are 1 mile per gallon with this set up.
I wonder if the Benifits are worth the price or more for show. I’d invest on fuel savings especially running here in California.
Great question! The average gains accomplished are .5 to 1 mile per gallon. With 1 mile per gallon gain, the average savings is nearly $1500 per month. This would pay for itself quite quickly and start putting $ in your pocket!
@@pdidiesel what about the gains with this and your big hoss intake?
The HP/Torque gains are great 15-20% over stock setting, the fuel efficiency has been right around 1 mpg. Thanks!
Would you have to increase fuel with the upgrades?
Yes, you would want to run at least our Economy fuel tune, with the adjustment to the VGT turbo speed to get the full effect and efficiency out of this set up. Thanks!
Any problems with the ISX? Its been a while!
No sir! They have been running great with this setup!
👍
How much horsepower, torque and fuel economy will be increased by adding a turbo kit?
The gain is 15%-20% over stock settings. The add a turbo is to move the air to keep exhaust and intake temps low to utilize the power and torque efficiently. The average fuel mileage gains are 1 mile per gallon with this set up.
Sounds like freaking Sylvester Stallone is doing the voice over lol
The voice is of the installer.
@@pdidiesel your voice is cool as hell
@@pdidiesel how much does it cost
His a friggin tank
Built better than any prime mover
Pure muscle
pdidiesel does this work for the older cm870 isx Cummins?
Is this available for cm870
No sir, it is for the 2010-2020 model years. CM2250, 2350 & X15
@@pdidiesel thank you kindly
I want this done to my truck asap lol 😆
Great! Give us a call! 1-800-511-1231
after this vid, testosterone levels skyrocketed in my body
Will it void warranty
Yes it will, any alteration to the factory set up will void any manufacturers' warranty.
Either this truck is gonna be deleted or it’s gonna have big aftertreatment problems
Thanks for watching and the comment! This set up is designed to work with all factory emissions, and has been working extremely well. We put the first setup on a customer's truck over 18 months ago. He has logged nearly 200K miles with no problems, emissions or otherwise. That was on the new X15 with the improved after treatment system. We have many other customers running this system, with them being mixed on 2011 - 2017 CM2350 series ISX and 2018- Current X15's. The proper maintenance and use on these new emissions trucks goes a long way. Thanks again for watching.
@@pdidiesel he clearly doesn't understand that the lower egt also helps lower the NoX levels as combustion temp is the cause of generation of NoX. So Robert, it will not effect the catalyst or def system if you have it turned. As far as dpf if you get more air in and have a proper fuel rate it will not smoke, and smoke being carbon soot is what kills the dpf. Dpf issues pretty much only come from bad tunes, mechanical issues or STUPID drivers idling constantly.
He’s probably an old school super trucker whose doesn’t believe in technology and stuck on those 70s 80s caterpillar motors.
If you change your oil and don't go over , don't do a lot of idling and don't use thar poor quality diesel you won't have any issues with the DEF systems.
How tall is this guy ? 😦 Is he a Titan or something ? 😄
He is 6'6" -6'7" I believe!
Damn this dude looks like he can lift the whole engine out by himself…
yes sir, smooth is best!
So I watch this vid and all I can think of are the twins on the cat and the problems with those.
The actual turbos on the Acert CAT were truly not very problematic. There were several other issues that lead to that engine series getting a bad reputation. When it comes to air flow, two turbos are superior to one, no question. If you do not need extra air flow, and have other options to get the optimum air and fuel ratio, then a Big Boss single turbo is also very effective. Thanks for watching!
You made that look way too easy man
Its really a pretty simple installation
pdidiesel
I like that idea of taking the housing off
Makes it a bit easier for us little weak dudes
