BEST Turbo Upgrades for Detroit Series 60 12.7 and 14 Liter

[@damonhuberty3696]

Year 2000 BK at 525hp+ with 171702 with high flow exhaust from end-to-end, dual mufflers, w/ turbo blanket. Run 1200-1400 rpm 98% of the time and pull grades at 1300 rpm. Spool is not to bad but opening up exhaust is a must. Summer IFTA 7.5mpg 78k back-and-forth over divide. 61mph. Goal is fuel economy; I run slow in the flats and pull long grades in the torque band. The slightly bigger turbo helps on both points at the expense of responsiveness but with exaust mods its not bad. On grades truck pulls down to 1150rpm & 20psi really helping to hold the gear and enable low rpm shifts. When hot on a grade with the blanket it spools back quick between shifts. EGTs 950F+ though if pulling in 1100 rpm range. Cold spooling below 1200 rpm takes forever. But I'm a slug and tunnel vision on high IFTA with lots of mountain miles for OTR.

[@dudarewaleriy4225]

I'm new to the terminology you are using. I would appreciate if you could explain what does "high flow exhaust from end-to-end" / "opening up exhaust is a must" mean? I have 97 60 12.7 / 500 hp with a $280+ stock turbo from JMT that wouldn't go over 21psi before I did a custom reflash in Houston tuning shop that raised turbo to 31 psi . Sitting on a fence thinking what turbo to buy: same stock, k31 or 1702? Any information will be highly appreciated

[@cargotoolshop5319]

The real gain to the 171702 is no waste gate, it does lack a little of low end power, bought my turbo from highway and heavy parts, interstate MC bee $504 it was a good increase over factory, also put in 5195 injectors, large 8 hole, keeps the EGT down by spraying the piston with fuel, works great, but my fuel mileage is not great, but I run over the road and I push it hard pulling 80,000# all the time

[@cargotoolshop5319]

Yes sir, I have a 171702 from interstate MC bee, it was $504, it works great but can see where it lags on low end power, it's an 12.7 with factory 500hp and 1650tq tune with 5195 injectors which are 10%over for my tune, it runs hard if I'm about 1600rpm's

[@gemcitylord4037]

14 liter 500 hp stock injectors 12.7 exhaust manifold. With k31 is lit 🔥. So cheap you can carry a spare turbo with ya. Enjoy.

[@RocSteadyNY]

Did you tune it? Or just bolt on?

Yes I used a remote programmer literally took him 20 minutes to change my truck.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

There are tunes from Diesel Control Services that are 750hp for the 14 liter. 14 can be a monster. I run a hot 12.7.

[@beamerzboyzclub9270]

Hey bud . For a Detroit s60 14 liter 2009 what turbo do u recommend ? I’m running k31 now but I would like more boost /power . Engine is 500-525 hp

[@Whistler42]

Thank you this is exactly the information I was looking for! So with 5915 injectors, a marine cam, and a “550” tune that’s running +7 in a truck that is running long haul 80k lbs would the 11 blade house turbo be the recommended one?

[@keontayrhone8596]

How about a freightliner cascadia dd13? My current turbo is shot and I think I should upgrade it rather than replace it.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

you are on the wrong channel, none of these are for your modern crap

[@matthiggins4965]

That was mean...lol

[@bigpif165]

What about a k31 for an isx 15? 450 hp stock. Guy that replaced my turbo said he tuned to 500 hp

[@nigelgina]

I just put the Sx on my 825 marine motor, it works better then my old billlet wheel S475. lower egts, and I picked up nearly 15hp at the back wheels with no fuel changes, now currently running 621hp at the wheels.

[@dayanacastillogomez7286]

somebody told me that a 1.15 ar is too short fro a 14L S60 515hp. but I'm having troubles with the 171702 with stock 515hp. ill definitely order a K31 ASAP

[@fcguy7]

I've got a friend who is repowering a big yacht with twin D60s. He bought marine DDEC IIIs that were very worn and they are currently at the machine shop before he finishes the builds himself. My question is should he be sourcing factory turbos or something different to suit reliability and fuel efficiency?

[@michaelbundy3506]

Im running a 12.7L bk with 7014 injectors, full tilt manifold and a 550hp tune from Brent. I took a 1702 turbo and stuck a 1.15 exhaust housing on it. Was wondering what your opinion is on that setup.

[@achaosg]

I'm looking at buying one right now with 12.7L, 800 Marine Cam, 7014 Injectors, Stainless Manifold, 78mm Turbo dyno and tuned for 650hp

I'm looking to do and engine build 12.7 1998 through 2000 so what do you recommend for a daily driver with a combination of great horsepower with efficiency. So what Cam, Injectors, Manifold, Turbo, Air to Air Charger setup. I stay under 80,000 lbs . I run from Texas to Pacific Northwest. So mountains. I currently have MX13 Paccar, 18 speed, T680 kenworth but I'm doing engine glider kit swap. Any advice is appreciated in advance Thanks

I have a no egr 14.0L engine where do I get it rebuilt to handle 700hp turbo on crazy hand welded header for series 60. Get you the name

[@ramirovargas4823]

Hi. My name is Ramiro. I have 2009 S60 14L Detroit. I did the cancellation on the EGR and all the staff. I got some Chinese torvo and is working but take to long to the engine pic up I wander if you can tell what turvo be best for my engine?

[@johncalvo1743]

Hola Ramiro. I have the same engine on my 2009 Columbia. Did you find out what the problem was?

[@henrygarcia7367]

I have an 07 classis with a egr 14 litter detroit, I deleted the egr and replaced the turbo with the borg warner K31 turbo, the part number is 171743, it is the best turbo to keep it stock, meaning you don't have to upgrade injectors ir anything, I did though replace the manifold with the ceramic coated high performance manifold. It works great with that set up.

[@stevenalmanzar4628]

[@jtchu613]

[@TheRoadhammer379]

just use the k31 from Garrett. 171702 is too much for any motor under 550-600hp

[@zaidchalabi1599]

what is “ throw alot of fuel at it” ?

[@momentumworx]

more aggressive fuel mapping via larger injectors or file

[@ciaranbrennan16]

Whats the thrust thing?

[@dmitrygrigoruk3405]

Watt is the difference between your k31 and the Zeki k31 hybrid turbo you did not include that in the video

[@momentumworx]

The Zeki K31/GT43 hybrid is a GT42 frame turbo with a billet wheel (like the K31). This turbo was not included in the comparison because we can only cover so many turbos in one shot. This is a solid option and very much comparable with a K31 for the sake of comparison.

[@warriorman547]

Whats recommended for DDEC IV 14l non egr set at 550 currently. would like 650-700 in the future. Thinking the 76mm

[@RocSteadyNY]

Did you figure it out?

[@Bacontexas1]

Cummins later ISX upgrades? What’s the specs on the ISX 451ve and 561ve would the 561ve be a upgrade for the 2250 2350 to keep the VGT

[@momentumworx]

depends on which 451 and which 561 we are comparing, they both come in different sizes. If you are hell bent on upgrading the VGT on a single cam, I would recommend just having your 451 modified with larger wheels.

[@Bacontexas1]
