Mackpro Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Whats the model of the truck? And complete VIN would be better, There is a 300A, EM7-300 and regular 300. Plus being a 2001 it could possibley a CCRS engine as well.

Mackpro Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Your engine is a CCRS engine which is good because to do any HP changes, you dont have to change the Cam gear key way like in the older ETECH engines. You have the EM7-300 engine with 1460 FT lb of torque. The injectors are all the same regardless of HP till you get to the 460 HP. To get any gains in HP and torque you got to go the 427HP which is 1560 FT lb of torque. This requires a turbo change and download. I never suggest the 460 HP in a CCRS engine. There is some Boost pressure sensor wiring that must be added and the wastegate turbo required for the 460 is very problematic in our experience. Then you run into your trans which is really suited to the torque curve of the way your engine is set up now. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52849-e-tech-300-upgrade/#findComment-394623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Quite honestly the alleged 460 of this period in time was borderline power wise due to emission standards ! The 400 would be fine I believe you would be disappointed with a 460 upgrade if you could do it anyway! These engines would max out at 33 psi boost and were programmed to derate At 34 psi ! absolutely stupid !

Mackpro Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yes, FJH, the 460 CCRS was not worth the hassle. We got some in trade and we detuned them to 427HP and never had a issue. Constant wastegate issues with over boosting or under boosting then de-rateing.

beco822 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Mackpro do u know off the top which turbo that would be?And I take it my nearest Mack dealer would have to do the download or is there another source for that?

Mackpro Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The download has to be done at a dealer. The dealer first has to send a request to Mack then if Mack approves it , they turn on the download for the dealer. I will message you on the turbo part numbers.

Maxidyne Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Should be interesting to see what upgrade Mack will offer for that engine with the wide ratio transmission- IIRC there was a 370 HP Maxidyne offered.

2000CL713 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Idk why i read alot of problems with 01 and up 460s. We had a 01 and 02 460 and they both ran great. The 01 turbo let go at about 500k but so did mine 2000. Other then that they both did great and other then my truck now with a 460XT file on it the 2001 and 2002 would run laps around my 2000 when it had a 427 file. The 01 and 02 where 8LL fullers with 393 or 392 gearing and 24.5 tires.
