The 1,000 hp C18 injector flow part interest me. I've heard rumor it is possible to build a C18 out of a 3406 E or a C15. Any truth to that?
Sorry to derail the thread...
Fighting with Cat over this one. 75k miles on a platinum overhaul. Either the USED skirt failed or the liner. Took out the oil pump and block too.
Exhaust manifold? PDI seems to be the only way to go. Full Tilt/Bullydog is about the same as stock. Press fit breaks studs. New PDI slides together with seals and has huge turbo mount studs. Really nice piece

Have you played with the CT engines yet? The slip joint they have for the EGR is sweet.

What about a B manifold?

Never tried one, was told there is a turbo spooling issue.
The block is the same c15/16/18

So the next question is, will caterpillar build this 700+HP engine and warranty it? I'm thinking no.... but I could be wrong
No sir. Has to be the EPA registered engine rating for OPT coverage.
Had to take a 625 back to 550 a few weeks back to enroll it for coverage.
Hardware only and you would have to know the failure to get that covered.

Good call man. didn't think the EPA angle. but Cat Cert Rebuild warranty would cover parts with labour, just not whole package right?
clone ECM that doesn't fire, but reads all the parameters?

Haha yea I bought the parts to build one just have to go pick them up. All the parts are the same except pistons, liners and crank. Head/block/rods are the same as C15. Mine is an Acert, so I'm using an MXS as a donor motor. No C18 injectors though, going to be a nasty street motor for a glider.
I was thinking about this in the way to work. I have been told more than once that the rods are the only parts reused. Is that what you mean by "used"?
