been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

While at home for christmas, my brother took me over to his friends house who has a 03 dodge pick-up with the cummins motor in it. (mind you my brother is a huge diesel performance nut, who is a 4cyl hater) Then he simply stated, "i gotta run into town, wanna go with me" so we hop in the truck, he pulls out onto the highway, and throws me back in the seat,the tires are smokin like a mother, of coarse smoke is pourin out of the tail pipe, this thing is haulin ass! (little did i know, my bother staged all of this) then we get back, and my brothers friend says take a look at this dyno sheet. -this was the first ever dyno sheet I have seen that was maxed out. make a long story short, he maxed out a 800hp dyno before he hit the propane 8)

anyone else ever ---- around with diesel performance. he says he only has an upgraded turbo, IC, and fuel management. -then the propane

this is my brothers "homemadeturbo.com" site:
http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/
there are some serious trucks on there... :o
if i werent going to japan, i would be lookin into getting a dodge as my next vehicle.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

my dad has an 04 chevy duramax 4 door, that thing already hauls some balls, and he has this "banks 6 gun system" or some bullshit coming in and the shop that's going to install it is also putting in a boost and egt gauge and a 4 inch exhaust. needless to say I'm going to make a grocery run once it's in, crank that ---- to 6, and let the video roll for you homies to see, it should be some hot ----.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

that ---- will be pretty insane kyle.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

when i get a truck eventually, ill definitely be getting a turbo diesel and doing a few upgrades ;)

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

My room mate works on diesels all day long. He had a pretty fast F350. We raced one time in my old Civic and he ------- raped me off the line(he launched in 4wd) :o

The Cummins seem to respond very well to mods. I went for a ride in a new Duramax the other day that was all done up and that fucker hauled ass. It also rode very nice for such a big heavy truck. Don't be fooled by those diesels, they can go fast too. ;)

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

very much. I was on my way home alone in my dad's truck one rainy night, I was doing about 25 at part throttle and I just floored it and the back tires broke loose and the back of the truck was slidding side to side, it was alot of fun.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

anyone ever check this out...
http://www.bankspower.com/sidewinder.cfm

http://www.bankspower.com/Sidewinder...s/dragrace.jpg
http://www.bankspower.com/Sidewinder...acetime-sm.jpg

...The Sidewinder made its 12.16 pass with a single turbo and no nitrous oxide or propane injection ....

...Amazing Overall Top Speed: 222.139 mph...

still gets 21mpg 8)

...not too shabby for a truck with over 700 HP and 1300 lb.-ft. of torque on tap ...

my brothers friends made 800hp :o

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

has anyone seen this?
http://www.bankspower.com/Twin-Turbo...tquarte-lg.jpg

http://www.bankspower.com/Twin-Turbo...-Engine-lg.jpg

this banks kit is $2000 and garantes 1000whp (this is a gas powered v8 though. still kick ass for $2000. i would buy it.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

I saw that kit installed on a Ford Superduty during one of those shows on Spike TV. When they were done he did some pretty nice burnouts, smoke almost hid the truck. I forget all of what they changed out on the truck though, but I do remember the IC for sure.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

holy ----, anyone watching TLC? they are doing "free walking" ::)

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

$2000, huh Frank?

I might have to sell the Civic and use the money to work on the Caprice :P

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

I told you!

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

banks = voided cummins warranty

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Bullshit. I have proof of that. They can't void the warranty. If they try, it's a law suit. I've seen so many old people bitch about their warranty being voided for adding a chip and an exhaust and blah blah blah, but it's not true. I can supply all the paper work you want to back this up. They CANNOT void your warranty so don't let them tell you anything like that.

If they can prove that the chip or whatever caused the problem then your waranty claim is denied. Other than that you get waranty :P

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

well you see, cummins is a columbus, IN based company. My father works there in R&D. my nieghbor works as a contractor for warranty claims dept. its true, they will shaft you if you put this kit on.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Let's see them prove it. They can't. It can't happen. It won't happen.

Call this number tomorrow between the hours of 9-5 928)505-3010 and ask about the warranty issues. They will fax you all the information you need if you are having doubts.

dont get me wrong boost I totaly agree with you, they cant prove ----. I am running a edge juice box stacked with a predator program( its like having two chips) With 4 inch exhaust, no cat and a k&n filtercharger on my superduty.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

you dad is an ------- >:(

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

you know him?

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Yea, they had a little thing about this on horsepower t.v.! Banks himself was there talking about the kit and how it make nice hp numbers. Plus they installed it in less than 30 minutes :P

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

also, if you use a KN filter on your diesel, you are asking for problems.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Bah, more bullshit. I've seen literally thousands of diesels running K&N filters. Tell your dad to stop feeding you that bullshit. :P

my dad didn't tell me that, a mechanic did.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

I know, more air& more dirt= more horse power. :-* those 6.0l are only $15,000. Not much that more than a d series :-\

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

even someone using one is agreeing with me on this one^^^

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

they work fine on the street but they are not recomended for offroad if you plan on keeping it for a long time. My turbo gets dirty with a k&n and stays clean with the stocker but you give up about 30 horse on a 6.0l :P

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

so i still wanna know why my dad is an -------.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

he raised you didn't he ;)

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

maybe he is an -------, and i dont even know it.
he still knows more about a cummins diesel then any of you.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Find me a company that recommends off road racing to test out their products.


I've had mechanics tell me Honda's blow head gaskets for no reason at 75,000 miles N/A, I've had mechanics tell me I need a whole new front suspension which will total over $800 when it was actually just some bad upper control arm bushings, I've had mechanics tell me I need a whole new motor when the timign belt was off a tooth. Just because the guy is a "mechanic" doesn't mean he is right. ;)

I am just ------ with you. thats what this means ;) , Tell your dad I love him and I would bare his children if that was posible. You could call me mom, it would be nice 8)

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

he is the top mechanic, at a honda/ford dealership. he said that the powerstrokes that come in there and need major repairs about 85% have a K&n filter in them. would you chance it? this isn't just "some mechanic" this guy knows his ----.

Re:been thinking about turbo diesel performance...
 

Yeah, I would trust it since I've seen thousands of problem free diesels running K&N filters and I live in AZ which is as dusty and dirty as they come. No problems out here. :-\

its not going to explode from running a k&n, Its not like it can suck up a ------ ground squirle. They just break in a little quicker, and were out a little faster :P
