You guys are carrying the 5.0 cummins platform on your shoulders! Excited to see more exhaust clips/ single turbo titans, very tempted to pull the trigger on a kit

[@Starethefurry]

Just bought a 2017 nissan titan cummins and researching a lot on these and came across your videos. Very informative.

[@thecliffold5879]

How are you liking it?

[@notworthit1096]

Yeah bro let us know I have an 2018 with what i looks like is an oil leak behind the crank

[@braydenrich6060]

I want some videos of single turbo exhaust sounds! Always been so curious of how they sound out the back with the big single

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

We have bunch of those videos already posted from 4+ years ago.

@@CFTPerformanceINC I never saw any from the outside. Just from in the cab. I’ll have to check again

@@braydenrich6060 unfortunately we didnt up load many youtube videos years ago and started really doing them this year and most all videos found on social media, groups, forms. Some in our shorts might be found that we reposted.

Are you guys selling complete re worked engines? I’m not looking for 600 pony’s rather a bulletproof 450rwh setup

[@Syzygy77]

I was about to buy the XD 5.0 but, I just decided to get the 5.6l gas engine. I just think that if we’re to get a Cummins it would be the 6.7l. These 5.0l engines are niche and I do enjoy seeing guys get the most out of them.

[@notworthit1096]

Best decision you made, i bought one 5 months ago 78k miles, good service record and since I bought it I haven’t put 100 miles on it and it’s currently on the shop with a out of nowhere oil leak in front of the crank turbo actuator might’ve been stuck and it overboosted. Waiting for diagnosis on Tuesday

[@notworthit1096]

@@imabebebebe2496 they opened the filter and found some metal. I have it back they wanted to put a new engine without opening that one. Im going to be opening it up in the next few weeks and see whats really up with it.

[@travisaugustine7264]

Questions: 1.) What is involved with swapping out the factory turbos with one of these single turbo options? Specifically I am concerned with eventually have to replace the actuator and getting it programmed when the closest dealership that still works on the Titan XD Diesel is over 200 miles away. I have no real interest in doing a total delete of the truck, just want to know my options if I end up loosing the turbo actuator and can't get it fixed because of how far away the dealership is. 2.) How reliable to you feel these engines are. The internet is full of horror stories and my own truck (that I bought about 3 months ago) is on its second engine due to the original engine developing a knock and having metal chunks in the oil.

[@wideopenthrottle6508]

Badass🔥 we need exhaust clips with them single turbo set ups👌🏼

[@edgarlira9595]

i am curious about the info you gave about rebuilding the factory turbos. do you sell any parts for rebuilding the factory turbos. that would be a life saver for someone like me that wants to stay close to stock out here in California. any info help. bad ass products by the way. no one else is doing what you guys are doing.

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

We do not and still working with companies for factory rebuilt and upgraded turbo options.

[@HunterSkiff]

Love this style of video

[@michaelperrone51]

any rec on what best option would be if i want to have good combo of towing still and run and gun more or less?

[@tommybally03]

Thanks for video and all the information. I use my 2017 as a daily driver so my question is how does the single turbo affect the driving characteristics? I would like to have more fun to drive power. However, not sure where to start. My truck has about 80k on it now and the EGR cooler was replaced at 68k.

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

nothing much changes but the fact you have more tap in power

[@BrianC-y2z]

Love it

[@mudchamp2139]

Thank you Soo informative!!do they make rods and Pistons for pushing big power? Compound setup?

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

no and not needed

[@cadcamfreak]

Hey Josh. Great vid! I installed one of your trans oil thermostats in my '17 XD with 80k miles, and am still getting some shift flare mostly between 2nd -3rd gears. Trans oil temp is within spec range. I did do a transmission flush & replace with Nissan fluid at 60k. Before the fluid change and your thermostat, I wasn't seeing much of any flare. Should I change to another thermostat? I do have a delete & tune but nothing crazy. Any ideas? Thx!

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

If you are factory stock. Thats beat it be. Only way be better is thru tuning. Theres only one tuning built and developed for it thats only found thru Brad at synthetic offroad.

[@NavySturmGewehr]

It is possible to get the low pressure turbo on the m2 almost down to 1:1 drive pressure ratio.

[@HuntsT]

You mentioned you guys worked with fluidamper. Did you guys ever get them to develop a damper for these trucks?

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

No them and every other company pulled out of any development and support in the platform long time ago. We tried our best to push it into spotlight. Spent tons of time with every main stream company. But with out end user support, and backing it was for nothing.

[@HuntsT]

@@CFTPerformanceINC that's a bummer. Thanks for letting me know.

[@jstitan2972]

Nice!!

[@oinchadoomandwolfboy]

Question. Could we buy the turbo kit without a turbo? For people who wanna play around with different turbos. I see it’s a 90 degree for the inlet, is it a T4 type base? Or are your kits built specifically with the 4 turbo options?

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

everything is built onto the turbo. So you have to select a turbo

[@danielclanton8781]

Who is making custom tunes for these kits?

[@cadcamfreak]

Another question. All is good now, but I heard when/if turbo actuator goes, there's nothing in stock from Nissan to replace. At least a few guys I know couldn't locate one. Is there any alternatives that would be a direct bolt on that is a available if I can't find one from Nissan? Thx!

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

Unfortunately there is not at this time. We are working on new ones and upgraded factory turbos. We dont have date or pricing for when they will be done.

[@2NationRaider]

Which tune do you recommend? That's reliable for everyday driving

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

Thats all covered in tuning video posted and where to go to.

[@Dieselpwr]

How do you keep from breaking the crankshaft

[@CJ-ff6cd]

Nice

[@brycejohnson3533]

Is having a solutions kit a requirement in order to make this fit?

[@manillagorillaent.321]

I’m just curious if I was to purchase this kit would I be able to bolt it in and just go, My engine bay is already a Sea of CFT green, now all I’m missing is the whistle of a Stainless 363 kit

[@CFTPerformanceINC]

Requires custom tuning.

[@pootiefootball11]

Who should I go to for timing on my 16 model. I have bought the truck deleted and tuned but have no knowledge of what’s on it or anything.
