RE: cm2350 turbo The de-mandate was done by a shop in Mn. I believe it to be a J-ball tune and he was just loading it. The cans are empty and so is the scr. It runs 28- 30 psi of boost. Under normal conditions the pryo runs about 350 to 400 degrees loaded. If its pulling hard ive seen it hit 950 degrees. I usually dont let it get over 700 degrees. So as far as power goes. It isnt about being king of the mountain or stroking my ego. It isnt about being the fastest truck and running triple digits. Its about time management and efficiency. I have to make miles and deliver at a certain time. If i slow down on every hill it cost me a full day. I dont wanna drive 80mph to make up for going 30 mph up a hill. If i can run an average speed of 65mph i can make more trips. My business revolves around moving as many loads in a short amount of time as possible. My company might move 20 plus loads from cali to texas in 2 weeks. I want to move as many of those loads as I can. Its the reason we run teams and the reason we come back empty. Its also the reason for high HP. Its the reason I dont work all summer yet gross over 400k a year per truck. That is what strokes my ego. Im not a truck driver because I love trucking. Im a truck driver because it makes me money. It lets me have all summer off when the kids are out of school. I dont know if I struck some sort of nerve but it seems like I did. IM NOT ASKING QUESTIONS TO PISS ANYBODY OFF. I WILL JUST SAY I KNOW MY BUSINESS. I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE MY WORK. BUSINESS WORK. I dont believe that 650hp isnt unrealistic or abusive to a 15l diesel engine. I've owned multiple Caterpillar engines that have made over a million miles before needing overhaul or needed the head removed for that matter. All of them are running over 600hp at the wheels. My last truck is at 1350000 its never had the head off. Last fuel taxes he still averaging 7.48 mpg for all miles. I NEED THIS CUMMINS TO DO THE SAME. It's supposed to be a way better engine than a caterpiller. I know its heavier. It should be able to handle 650hp and 2800 to 3000 lb ft without issues. I hope maybe that explains my thoughts. Maybe now we can get to a place where my original question can be anwsered. Should I or is there a better turbo for a cm2350? I dont mean bigger, I dont mean more boost if it isnt needed. I want a better bolt on turbo. I dont want to lose the VGT if i dont have to. I dont want to replace manifolds and hack pipes. I dont mind having to reprogram the truck. Im actually looking to do that anyway. Thanks for any help | |||
