I dont get how it loaded twin turboed trucks, garrett turbos, turbonetics turbos, a ford "bi-turbo" and not a dodge cummins vgt turbo$.02
Yes we will, yes we will.Yeah figuring it by trap speed is alot more accurate, as long as your not afraid to drive it all the way there then leave it in the parking lot.oke: We'll see how my ET numbers compare to the dyno numbers in a few weeks.
Every truck and set-up requires a differnt load % to get the best power. Its not just a "Load it and go" kinda thing. There is alot to tuning with the load cell loaded right.
At Left Coast Diesel, we have spent up to 3hrs on a single truck with different load %'s to get the MAX from a particular set-up!
So I could easliy see how a VGT truck might not have been loaded right for max numbers...the part that really throws the tuning a wrench is the fact that the turbo is already spooled well at 55mph...so finding a good load % to start with and how to run it is part of the fun.
We will be bringing Backhoeman's truck back down to LCD for more in depth Smarty tuning with lots more time spent on getting the right load % to spool well and make lots-o-power!
it is not gonna have a vgt for long:rockwoot: I just wanted to post some numbers I was pretty happy with them for what I have done. As for the other trucks not making power I can not comment there is a lot that goes into tuning and one little thing can screw up your day. Along with lack of fuel weak converter slipping clutch on and on. Who knows I fought that fight for awhile and all I can say is I pugged in smarty on default setting and made power, playing with the tuning yielded more power.
Come on man VGT's can make for some fun power... don't give up on them just yet....
well wait a minute ... can we have your core when you get rid of it....:evil
I may need it in the future for emissions :bang I am curious to see what Brayden comes up with for us 6.7 guys maybe twins with a vgt in my future:evil
The 66mm VGT we are running right now seems to work very well.
That would be great!
Thanks,
