SMEDING NON VGT DROP IN 6.0 POWERSTROKE! WILL IT LIVE!

Exciting video as we test out the new smeding diesel drop in non vgt turbo! We spec our turbo out as a 64.5 billet compressor wheel with 360 heavy duty thrust, 68mm exhaust wheel and .70A/R housing. We go over the turbo and installation. Then we RIP this turbo to see what it’s made of!

That truck sounds good too. The turbo was louder than what I thought it would be. Cody your content is fantastic man.... Really appreciate all these videos you do for us.

🙏🙏🙏

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

You know what works really good to keep boots on pipes? Clean with brake clean, then a very light coat of Permetex high ttack spray. It's red in color(the product). I've NEVER had boots blow off. I've installed hundreds of cac boots, never had a single one come off with this method. I have seen them blow apart, but they never slid off the pipe. Sounds like this turbo light stupid fast! I was skeptical, but this seems like a good setup if you want to roll non vgt.

[@tonye1524]

Love seeing your videos man your our only 6.0 guy on here that does videos like this keep it up bro 🤙🏽

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

🙏🙏

[@Bacongrease00]

Cody can we get an update on the turbo performance? How have EGTs been affected? How does it spool? Any issues ?

[@janamaro5894]

I really love Smeding Diesel and MDC Diesel are both the same kit. I bet Mack from MDC Diesel is a phenomenal man.

[@tylerkellogg2294]

Wow Cody your neighbors must love when your in test and tune mode

😂they love me, I bring joy to their lives

[@brettkennelly1322]

Id be really curious to what its like towing

[@bradleymchan]

I absolutely love your content! Where did you purchase this turbo? What tune are you running? Who wrote the tune?

[@Bacongrease00]

Any updates bro???

[@michaelroth3471]

Cody - Mikalor clamps will solve those boost tube blow offs, no hair spray needed.

[@damonclemons9547]

How has the turbo held up?? I am looking to get a drop in s300 from smeding for my 6.7 psd just wondering about the reliability in the long run

[@gtijoemcnair]

Does the funky music come with the turbo

[@GearJamminHank]

So that's what that sounds like! I've never hear a tube let go.

[@burnout245]

Video didn't do any justice, thing sounds like a shotgun going off under your hood in real life, enough to make you jump in your seat

[@dylantylerday1]

What turbo u like better ur non vgt dyi stage two or the smeding turbo

[@OutdoormanPost]

Since the 6.0 doesn’t have a waste gate and uses the VGT to control boost is there a concern with overboost?

[@denvermedick9876]

For normal headstuds I think yes but if it’s studded it can handle up to around 75 psi of boost before stretching the studs

[@alanbeatty7410]

Curious did you have to get your pcm tuning?

[@GearJamminHank]

“OMG, Damnit Cody"! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

[@adamcarlson1255]

Cody, what tune are you using on the daily? I have plan on using a very similar setup. I have an sct ts livewire as well

[@johnnycortez46]

Just got your up pipes in the mail. Awesome quality. Super fast shipping 👍👍👍 However I have a question in regards to a engine build. On your previous 6.0 engines builds when u replaced the lifters and guides. Did you use the Oem stock ones from ford???

[@kshepthedrummer]

I can't imagine the drive pressure is very good with that little exhaust housing. The exhaust housing looks smaller than the one on my 1.8l Honda.

[@Bacongrease00]

It’s a .70 A/R

[@michaelsacy]

So I been thinking about this set up also. With the MCD/smeding Is it legit. Or a waste of money and should just get the more expensive one. And also is it gonna be good with stock injectors.

[@janamaro5894]

Right, I know the pros and cons for Smeding and MDC Diesel.

[@michaelsacy]

Which are ??

[@janamaro5894]

​@@michaelsacy Both of them are decent good price.

[@matthewlolmaugh5900]

Do you need any sort of tuning to run this turbo I was told you need pcm tuning

[@bradeng9130]

I’m looking to buy one of these turbo but I was wondering do I just leave the vgt plug or is there a way to remove it completely

[@scubasteve7946]

Nice work and video. She sounds nasty 👍. Might need a dyno session in the future. I like rerouting the CCV to help prevent those boots from getting only and blowing as easily. What's your thoughts on that?

[@jillianhoffman8854]

Did you end up keeping this turbo ?

[@LimaTangoZulu]

I can’t wait to get a 60mm for my ZF6 truck.

[@dakotathompson8062]

I’ve heard these drop in turbos suck. What’s so bad about them ?

[@stroken_7.3_the_legend]

They aren't actually as bad as people make them out to be. Are they borg or precision quality maybe not but they are not bad products.

[@stroken_7.3_the_legend]

I'm just excited about having the case and you can do anything to it that they do too other 363SXE turbos

[@ivorymack1272]

Update ?

[@huronhockey8]

Are you tuning after going from vgt to non vgt?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

Yes absolutely

[@tylerbanning4099]

Could you run this on stock injectors with tuning

[@braddurham145]

I thought it would have more black smoke but was wrong that is awesome

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

It cleans these 155/30s up no problem. I was amazed. I see now they are rating it for up to 550hp (64.5mm turbo) and I believe them with how well it’s cleaning these injectors up. I could feel it ran out of fuel during these pulls, but turbo was ready for more

[@joshheld2090]

@@LeftLaneDiesels do you think the 364.5 with 175/30s would be a good pair with some occasional towing

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

@@joshheld2090 100%- I think 175/30s are going to be the perfect match for the 64.5 sized option

[@Wyatt_obs7.3]

Definitely gonna do it to my daily lol my trans hates life too 🤣

[@GunFarm1776]

Are these made in China? I'm on the fence, just bought your up pipes, showed up today. Nice looking pipes! Considering going Nonvgt. Thanks

[@janamaro5894]

No, Smeding Diesel is made of materials for building turbos, manifolds, and components. They're proudly built in the USA.

[@davidwells2848]

Cody, how did you finally address the odawg 3 and the 12an fitting that sits under it. Used a low profile 90* and just not enough clearance to snug it down so getting seepage. Can I dremel down the intake a bit or is there another way l see in video you have a 45* thanks for any advice

Thanks so much. You always think this is the fix and it rarely is. The internet has so little relevant info. Xdp who would have thought

[@irock3018]

What is it like for towing?

[@dannypontv]

What was the max boost you made

[@kwhopper5409]

So is this turbo better than a kc 10 blade turbo??

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

This is almost impossible to answer, it comes down to personal preference and what you are using the truck for. There’s advantages and disadvantages between vgt and non vgt

[@chrisrogers8694]

when going from a VGT to a non VGT is there any programming that needs to be done?

How much boost did the diy stage 2 make, i cant find much info on them

It would peg the factory map sensor which maxes out at 28.9psi. I really need to get an aftermarket boost sensor.

[@TreyMulder]

@@LeftLaneDiesels thanks for the response I’m highly considering the diy stage 2 I think it’s definitely worth the cost savings

[@henrytheboss2658]

i have 205/75 injectors how do you think it would pair with this turbo?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

No unfortunately I think it would be way to much fuel. I’m thinking the cut off for this turbo will be 190/30

[@Bacongrease00]

The biggest wheel they say is only good for 550 so you wouldn’t clean up those injectors just not enough air

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

@@Bacongrease00 Your point is true, but tell me, when are you driving around at WOT using all your available horsepower??? Or have us diesel guys never had more injector than turbo???190/30 is good for 600hp on a all out tune at full throttle. However your everyday driving, this turbo should be perfect! Just realize that it won’t clean up 190/30s on the top end.

[@Bry_nlch]

The shop I work at has a dealer account with smeding. I’m about to order mine tomorrow fuggg it

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

You won’t regret it. What size injectors do you have and what size turbo are you thinking of ordering?

[@Bry_nlch]

@@LeftLaneDiesels same as you, 155/30’s. I’ll get an identical turbo too lol. I also have a stage 2 cam. I’m gonna go with bigger injectors eventually but this setup is such a fun truck to drive and super street able. My buddy had a s364.5/68/.83 with 190/75’s and the truck was pretty fast and a good time but laggy as hell and ridiculously dirty. He’d be cruising at 60+ and smoke would just be rolling. With that being said I’m pretty sure he never got it retuned which would explain a lot of that

[@Bry_nlch]

@@LeftLaneDiesels you gotta start selling “fixed vein gang” stickers now. I want a personal discount code on the site for that idea😂😂😂

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

@@Bry_nlch I’m a huge 155/30 fan for your everyday guy that wants a good bump in power over just a tuned truck. I plan to bump up to 190/30 in the future, curious to know how this turbo will do on that large of injector. Hahahah I like your idea!!

[@Bry_nlch]

@@LeftLaneDiesels I’m curious too. If they could configure that with larger compressor and turbines with the .70 I think it’d open up a few doors. I’m assuming they probably can’t because of fitment restraints like you mentioned in the video. I gotta get to work on getting a turbo and we both gotta work on figuring out how these will handle 190/30’s. I’m hoping they won’t be too much fuel cause I think that’d be a pretty badass daily/street truck. In all seriousness if you wanna make stickers like that feel free. We’re not in competition in anyway so it affects me none.

[@LimaTangoZulu]

Would the cast 62 make better early power for towing?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

I’m not going to recommend the cast 62 option to anyone. Being that all options come with the same exhaust wheel and turbine housing, you might as well go with the 63mm billet or sxe-r option if looking to run it on stock injectors.

[@LimaTangoZulu]

@@LeftLaneDiesels in short, does a smaller compressor wheel decrease lag?
