Has any one done this.....would it be hard....waste of time....wouldnt it be more efficient? How much possible HP?

tbarbee1

Due to the lack of response I'm guessing this is a stupid idea

I think ATS has been advertising one for a while (for the Cummins) but has not released it yet. It seems like an awesome idea, but I THINK Ford made one on one of their motors and owners often replace it with a standard turbo.

My 6.0 had one it seemed to work well I know the 6.7 have them I thought it may be an easy switch. Benefits may not warrant the $$ spent.

Give it a try .. If you can get one they aren't that hard to swap!!

tbarbee1

Are there extra electrical components ? or is it part for part I havent even seen the one on the 6.7's yet

Whatever happened to the Banks version that was talked about in an early Diesel Power Mag. The one where banks had the Red Dodge, Chevy, and Ford. Tried to find it on the Banks website, or info on it to no avail.

I'd have to stop in and look at one to tell ya.. I can't remeber everything when I was looking at one..

Yeah, a computer to control the turbo.

tbarbee1

One more computer is the last thing I need

That turbo on the 6.7 has a ton of electronics on it. Speed sensor, position sensor, boost sensor, senor sensor. I'm sure you could almost bolt it on directly, but you have no way to control it.

Ford did use them on their 6.0s, but it is a VVT design (Variable Vane Turbo), where each vane moves. This design has dozens of moving parts and Ford had lots of trouble with these turbos. The Cummins unit is a VGT (variable geometry turbo) with a sliding nozzle design - only one moving part.

I remeber that dodge in the Banks add if i recall they used a garret turbo but idk if it was a VG turbo of if it was just a ball bering turbo

banks was on one of those Spike TV shows last year and they installed a VGT on a CTD with all of his other stuff. They installed the turbo and the computer to run it. Never heard anthing after that.

Yeah that's a negative ghost rider.. Looked today.. You might get it to bolt up but after that there is too much Crap hooked to that thing for life support!!
