Improving The Performance Of The Dodge 6.7 Cummins L

By Shirley Rogers


It is incredible knowing that the performance of the Cummins is higher than that which has been provided by the factory. Before going for more torque, it is important paying attention to the required support upgrade. For example, a pyrometer is recommended for an engine that is to be modified. This will change the characteristics of fueling. You should plan effectively. Also, the factory transmitter may be not of the same strength with the stout engine. The good news is that many aftermarket Dodge 6.7 Cummins L are available for off-road users.

The first upgrade that you should deal with is the upgrade of the exhaust and the intake. In the case where you are dealing with the exhaust system, you need to find a kit that will have all the replacement for the factory exhaust parts. The kit should be from the tailpipe to the downpipe.

When you are upgrading your intake unit, you should not forget the air horn. This is usually not included in the kits for the air intake. The main purpose for the modifying the exhaust and the intake is so that there is easy transition through the losses reduction. You should choose a kit that has super filtration when you are looking for the one to buy.

You can use the tuners to unleash the horsepower in 6.7 L. The tuner can also be known as a programmer or the module. The tuner adds parameters, modifies the engine calibration, changes the injection timing and maximizes the delivery of fuel. The settings available are of various types. You should pay extra attention to the manufacturers guidelines when you are buying these machines. You also need to keep in mind that there will be more stress on the drive items when there is more power.

Using large injectors leads to more fuel flow. The Cummins engines have the upgrades for the injector in the market. Before you purchase any set, you need to contact the manufacturer of that particular injector. When you do this, they will give you the recommendations depending on the use of the pickup. Do not think that the bigger the device is, the better it is. Get an injector that is ideal for the upgrade characteristics.

The intercoolers require upgrading also. Though their performance to cost ratio is low; they help in reducing the temperatures of the exhaust gas. Many owners do not carry out intercooler upgrade in their first stages.

You should be aware that Cummins engines do not use the conventional glow plug. Instead, they use a heater grid located in the intake tract. Many owners consider the restriction to be minimal since it does not cause high loss of power. To enhance the performance of applications, the heater grid is removed. This will increase the airflow. The ordinary truck should not be modified in this manner. This is because starting it when it is cold will be difficult or even impossible. 6.7 Cummins will have the worst performance when the heater grid is deleted.

The turbocharger performance is poor. The good thing, however, is that there are various turbochargers that will help to improve the airflow. You can maximize profits by upgrading the fuel system and the factory turbo. These are the main upgrades that your 6.7 Cummins needs.
