Bigjohn4300 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Drivetrain is in excellent shape, 157k, conservatively operated and well maintained for 110k of that, will the 375 file and injectors eliminate the 4-6 seconds of lag on initial takeoff? I really want to get that gone, makes pulling out in some situations really sketchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantees it would be eliminated. It’s all pioneering.

Or just that it would run better if it had the dealer tune it after? Just curious, if there was a way to convince the engine brain that the engine had boost, say 10 lbs or some low number like that, by fooling the boost sensor/manifold pressure sensor electronically, would that allow more fueling earlier? Maybe allow the actual boost to build quicker, minimizing the low end lag? Maybe a resistor or something in the circuit?

Mackpro Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 As far as the “Turbo “ pipe ( pipe coming off the turbo) The very first CV’s with regular ETECH’s ( very few made) their pipes were 5” in diameter all the way down under the cab to where they necked down to 4” where the flex pipe slid on . On the CV’s with the AI engines, the turbo pipe necked down to 4” right behind the turbo. The original ETECH pipe is still available through Mack and will fit the CV’s with the AI engine but is really tight. I used this pipe for a buddy’s 2005 CV and chopped off the 4” necked down part and did a full 5” flex and fab’ed up some elbows to a full flow 5” in/out muffler. We experimented with some software (. 427 Australia file) along with the exhaust but he sold the truck before we could see if it helped the performance.

Those two old ones are going to start bothering you....better crank on em! 😉 Did you take Mackpro's cue on replacement of the rocker shaft bolts? They have a history of snapping and killing the camshaft. Be easy to R&R one at a time. Edited October 12, 2019 by Mack Technician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, while you have it stripped for kingpins you better add an extra leaf to the front right spring to support that turbo, we don’t want to create a lean!! Careful about running with no pyro, it’s your insurance policy against a blue turbo. Old Milwaukee.

Its a little bigger than the s300 and definitely spools earlier and flows nicely. Im no expert but the larger exhaust manifold and GR pipes in conjunction with the turbo and injectors from K&S have really made this truck a pleasure to drive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our 93 with the S475 (171702) we see 42 psi. Have you considered getting the blixxton 200? We have on the 99 460 E-tech and boy it brought that baby to life.
