How to Build a 550 WHP 6.4 Powerstroke For Under $2,000!

[@WillfulMirror8]

I just finished up my 6.4 rebuild about 200 miles ago, new maxxforce 7 pistons, had to go .030 over to get the cylinder walls straightened up, feelts a whole lot better! Its at 349k miles and hopefully will go another 350k!

[@8020Media]

W - Nice! Sounds like a beast. It for sure will get 350k more.. Thanks for sharing!

[@oscarreyna9581]

What was the cost of all that?

[@WillfulMirror8]

@oscarreyna9581 so the pistons I bought on rock auto were about 900 with rings, Misc gaskets and studs and stuff like that were probably another 1000, machine work was 350 and I assembled it all myself and put it back into the truck, in total I spent probably 4k with new rocker arms, oil cooler, fuel cooler, and such

W - Thanks for answering a viewers question! This will certainly help future viewers.

6.4s are crazy ive seen them hit over 600 with just a tune and delete

[@8020Media]

P - Very possible!

[@parkerchan4456]

A tow-tune 6.4 will walk a lot of built diesels 😂

M - Damn! Sounds like it was a good one! What happened to it?

[@tacticalcamel703]

I’ve seen a tune only 6.4 run 641hp on the dyno

I guess if you run it on a kill tune in the right conditions, but anyways thats awesome!

[@cosimor2.068]

Thank you so much. So with all the other upgrades what tune should i put in? Is a spartan tune good? Also it will have around 600hp and 1,200lns of torque with all upgrades?

To make 500whp what would I need for it to be reliable. Could I have a 3 switch tune for it to? Being eco, towing, and race? (Race being the 500hp one)

[@8020Media]

C - We have the list of mods in the video. Yes, you certainly could.

[@XavierJ514]

When would things like, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and downpipes need to be addressed? I have a 6.4 with everything you mentioned plus a few extras. Looking for other things I can add that would be worthwhile

[@8020Media]

X - They're definitely good supporting mods to consider. There really isn't a "need" to be addressed, it's more so of a want. Replacing the things you mentioned will make your vehicle more reliable at any stage.

[@XavierJ514]

@@8020Media awesome good to know, I love my 6.4 even on a lower power tune, the temptation is there to experience the full effect though here and there. Really good video, will be subscribing !

[@8020Media]

X - Thanks for the support!

[@johnoconnell1406]

Where's your shop. I have a 6.4 that needs help.

[@8020Media]

J - We are a fully online company, as of now. Therefore, we don't have a shop for customer vehicles.

[@peteperkins3859]

$2,000 every time? That can get expensive.

[@8020Media]

P - Sure can!
