Tim Modine Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Wondering what the psi range is on this engine. I’m getting 28psi at full RPM with 27 ton machine on low boy.

fjh Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Firstly u need to be pull at the rated rpm not full rpm to develop full boost you should be seeing 33-38 Edited May 29, 2019 by fjh Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57421-turbo-psi-for-mack-07-chn613-ac-460/#findComment-423900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short I’ve developed a howling noise and trying to determine if turbo is beginning to fail. A shop said it sounded like an exhaust manifold leak.

41chevy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Rated RPM is where the factory states you develop max torque. Over or below that RPM point your Torque drops off. Here are some examples as I don't know what your engine is. A 300-horsepower torque is 1,160 foot-pounds at 1,200 rpm. Torque jumps to a massive 1,360 foot-pounds in the E7 with 350 horsepower. In its 400-horsepower , torque peaked at 1,460 foot-pounds at 1,250 rpm.

As for your noise judging by your comment an exhaust leak would show up as soot trails at the ports ! Check for broken studs ! After cooler could be cracked and leaking ! If the cooler is cracked you should have some black smoke trailing the truck under load and the pyro will be getting up to 1000 quite quickly!

Mackpro Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We alway tried to achieve 33 psi of boost under a pull with the 460 AC engines. I have seen a few go higher but we were happy at 33 psi. Worn out boost pressure relief valve or cracked after cooler or malfunctioning turbo actuator were some of the reasons for low boost Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57421-turbo-psi-for-mack-07-chn613-ac-460/#findComment-423949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
