    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    This 69xe on its own now spools up very quicky, faster than my friends 63 fleece cheetah and previous vgts. My ultimate goal is to stay under 1000hp so ideally 900 so I don't worry about another engine failure. I enjoy the hell out of this turbo so far, maybe I'm just too picky. If at all...

    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    As far as tuning goes I agree, Starlite made adjustments as I requested and is on top of their game. My issue with the vgt was I was melting turbines. I melted a DTS 72 vgt then a 72R vgt within 3 months of each other so I tried this 69. Everyday driving is better with it all around in my...

    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    A turbo brake would also be a plus compared to the xe69. although it was non existent before on the 72. The end result is to have a 8-900hp truck that can be a weekend sled pull or drag race truck and tow a heavy trailer during the week without sacrificing hp or mileage

    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    I figured it would also, not downing anyone's products at all that turbo was nuts when it lit. When I was towing it was a constant haze and egts were crazy high. It made the truck overheat big time in the summer. I switched to the sxe369 without any tune changes aka the same kory tuning for the...

    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    I currently got away from vgts as I went through 3 of the 72s, one of them being a 72R. I couldn't really pull a trailer that good with it which is why I switched to a sxe69. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of power and fuel are you throwing at your 68R/480?

    Anybody happen to have any real world experience with a similar setup?

    Weighing out turbo options..sxe369/480 or 68/71vgt/480

    Looking into doing compounds of somesort here in the future, love the single 69 but I'm looking for some more lower end torque while towing. Anyone have any experience with towing a Danville 68/71vgt stg2r paired with a 480? Along with a sxe 369/480 towing or street driving? I'd like to stay...

    Checked fuses and they're all good. I also tried trying to run it without the radio fuse in, sometimes that makes a difference while efi flashing. No luck

    Just polished up all the grounds and checked fumes, the ficm is labeled ecm2 correct ? It's an 01. And miles don't matter, it has 220k.

    Grounds checked and tried an ficm off another running truck here and no such luck. Any other ideas before i pull the front clip off to check the cam dowel pin?

    Put a stock ecm I have licensed here to my v2 on it and still has the same symptoms. I tried a spare ficm here and didn't cure the issue unfortunately

    I used s+s. No fuel leaks or anything internally or externally. No coolant issues such as a blown head gasket or cups leaking. It was running great all the way to work and back and close to home is when it did it. In my video it'll run without injector knock for a few seconds then it'll begin...

    Cruising home one day in my 01 lb7 that I put new s+s injectors and fpr in back in september. I went to plug my CTS monitor in and when I did I got a big pop backfire along with white smoke and injector knock. Went into limp mode also. I trailered it home and checked all top engine harness...

    LB7: Weird LB7 cyl 7 and white smoke after new injectors

    I took all 8 glow plugs out and turned it over by hand to flush out the coolant before trying to turnover via starter. I am beginning to think it's electrical in the harness or maybe rubbing in certain spots. Anyone ever ohmed out a harness to test it ?

    Running a compression test here soon when I get back. No change after changing pigtails and unplugging batteries for a bit. #7 cyl still unresponsive on selecting individual injectors

    LB7: Weird LB7 cyl 7 and white smoke after new injectors

    Balancer isn't wobbling or doing the normal crank issue. No crank position codes either. Going to try switching an ficm off another truck to try it. Anyone know where you can find the correct thread adapter for a compression test through the glow plugs?
