What are your thoughts on heating the bolts up first one at a time before u put the wrench to them ? Heat then till they are red hot is what I was told. Then while they are hot you put the wrench on them. Can u reach that bottom bolt with a crows foot ? And extension ? Great video. All the great ones make it look easy. No matter what they do. Baseball , chess , race drivers or In your case, working on trucks. U give some of us bolt on bolt off bandits confidence to tackle these bigger jobs. Thanks.

@@pdidiesel If you heat those bolts up first like the person above said and set the TQ it will be wrong after they cool. We were taught that doing this changed the TQ as the metal cannot adjust. Don't really know if it is correct or not, but going through aviation mechanic school they said it took away from the metal strength.

question, why not just make the manifold one piece and eliminate the seals and potential leaks?
@pdidiesel5 жыл бұрын
Great question! The manifold needs to be able to expand and contract as it heats and cools with engine exhaust temperature. Thus the reason for the expansion joints. If it were one piece it would shear off the studs holding it to the cylinder head as it expanded. Thank you for the question!

Do you have any proven power gains to your big boss? Very curious to know how it makes more power and increase fuel ext ext?
@pdidiesel5 жыл бұрын
The gain in efficiency and power is the air flow, the Big Boss utilizes the stainless steel exhaust housing to maximize the air flow, combined with our custom designed compressor housing it creates a very efficient turbo, great drive ability and no turbo lag. Lowering the exhaust temp allows you to work the truck down lower while pulling a grade and get the best fuel efficiency possible.

how much turbo boost can you safely run on this turbo i had to put a waste gate turbo on my 3406b because my borg warner turbo which was rated for 550 hp was pegging my gauge at 45 psi
@pdidiesel5 жыл бұрын
Most engines with our manifold, turbo and tuning run between 30-38 lbs of manifold pressure. The turbo will safely handle 40+ lbs, but with the right set up it should be in the mid to upper 30's.

Whats the difference between the regular exhaust manifold and the low mount exhaust manifold for the c15? and how can I tell which one I need for my c15 6nz?
@pdidiesel2 жыл бұрын
It is the angle of the turbo mounting flange. Most long hood trucks have the regular/standard mount, and the sloped hood trucks have the low mount. The low mount sits the turbo down lower to create better clearance for the turbo to clear the hood. You can be certain which one you need by getting the casting # from your OE center section of your manifold and call us to cross reference. 1-800-511-1231 Thanks!

@elijahrobinson23625 жыл бұрын
pdidiesel I as just nitpicking since the C-15 (note the dash ‘-‘) is the 6NZ and the C15 (no dash) is the ACERT. Never could understand why Cat kept such a similar (and often misused) identifier for their different 15L (14.8/15.2) engines. There’s a guy on here that builds 6NZ engines with the ACERT crank giving a 15.2L displacement. 16:1 pistons, 4 bolt rods, stronger cranks. Definitely inter dated in that along with one of your turbos/intakes/exhaust manifolds (extrude honed) and tuned by Mr. Haney (Kurt).
