im new to rawze's page but it comes highly recommended all over the place. i do have diesel mechanic background although not certified. most of my experience is pickups and such but still learning my way through the software part of the bigger stuff, i am a fast learner and really want to learn to go about things the proper way and i seen someone post on the forum you might be able to help me out...

the problem...

i have an 07 379 ex that came with a cm870, but it had a previous motor swap that seems a little strange to me.

the engine shows it is a certfied cummins recon serial#60806861 cpl 8519... build date of 8/13/12. Shouldnt this be a "burner motor" not an egr only 870? it has all the hardware making it seem like an 870 and is also using an 870 ecm serial# 3684009 calibration AB10339.18 currently flashed with the updated AB10339.23. the egr has been removed and all its hardware and replaced with block off plates and such. i need a little more go juice then 475 at 1850 the calibration offers and its just seems like whoever did the last flash may have got something wrong it just seems to build alot of heat. 900 on the pyro and has no problem crawling to 1100 under a good pull while stuffing about 30-32 lbs of boost out of the stock vgt turbo, so the silent derate of the 870 with and unplugged egr? doesnt throw any codes for it though. id like to go to a 565 or 600 at 2050.

so using C@ltr!m... which meta file and calibration should i be using where its a cross breed to bump up to desired power and torque? or if its even safe to run that high with CPL it has. i have soaked up as much info as i can find on how to properly do it through C@ltr!m. i know thats a crazy scary program and theres not a whole lot of information out there on how to go through the proper steps so any information would be greatly appreciated. from what i can tell the meta file basically ties it to the hardware of the motor like if its a 870, 2250,2350, etc. and the calibration is more or less the fine tuning of that.

so any direction you may be able to give me on it would be awesome.

cheers,

You say egr removed and block off plates. Is there a water bypass tube put on in its place. Are you trying to cook the back of the engine? Seems like you would have mentioned it if it was there. 30-32 lbs of boost isn’t quite enough sounds like. Stock turbo is capable of plenty more boost. If you have the proper attitude these guys will definitely help you. They have helped me tune my own engine in calterm and gave me a good understanding of what is going on in there. I am not authorized to help anyone and nor do I want too because of how much knowledge base is needed and I still don’t have enough to feel comfortable messing with someone else’s livelihood. The more you learn the more you will realize how much you don’t know. I would wait for Uniliever or Mamaburt sometimes patience is key.
