Outbehindthebarn Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Can you easily mount a water/air cooled tip turbine to a later model 4 valve e6? This would be for a B model re-power.

steve p Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 2 stacks what do mean NO .I put a tip turbine on my 350 4v e6 years ago and it works very well,so I don't know where you get your info from to make a statement like that Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32631-tip-turbine-4-valve/#findComment-203933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 No.Well im going off 35+ yrs of experience on just macks and the fact that when a local company bought a bunch of trucks in 86 or 87 and they wanted tip turbines so mack put 2v heads on for the tip turbine. these were 350 12 speed combinations Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32631-tip-turbine-4-valve/#findComment-203980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve p Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I used everything off a 320 ,nothing special was done .the 350 4v turbo 4le flows less than a 5316 by the way 285/320/350 2v all use the same turbo . if mack had changed the cylinder heads to 2v they would have also changed the camshafts being they are totally different .I've used this setup for over ten years on this engine and it stills pulls as hard today as it did when i did the change 10 odd years ago,it's a working truck not a show truck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32631-tip-turbine-4-valve/#findComment-204175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbehindthebarn Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Did the water/air cooled tip turbines make more horsepower than the straight air cooled tip turbines?

2stacksuperdog Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Did the water/air cooled tip turbines make more horsepower than the straight air cooled tip turbines? yeah they do but the water ones have special hoses and the mack museum had to track them down for us in another state.

Outbehindthebarn Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Well, how about mounting a tip turbine to a mechanical E7 then? Same deal or different?
