Standalone VNT Controller for LB7's Available!

[MMLMM]

still use LB7 os and tuning as well I guess, just add the controller?

no trying to cause any problems... but that sure is an expensive package to go VVT. But no one can argue this will have some serious interest.

If my math is right that is like 800 for the controller which is very resonable

Like the title says, those who were wanting the ability to bolt a VNT onto your LB7 it's now possible!

Here's a teaser video of it in action on a 2005 CR Dodge.

They're available now. BTW it's fully user adjustable with maps just like EFILive!

Thanks,

Very Cool Brayden!

So what kind of maps does the software use to adjust the vanes?

68mm Cheetah VNT Upgrade would be 2785.50 if you bought one today... That's not too bad for a turbo, an AlliLocker and a TurboBrake. That's cheaper than any other performance turbo that I know of..

 

[JoshH]

So you can't buy a stand alone controller without buying a Cheetah?

 

[KEVINL]

I assume you need a core for the Cheetah

It is expensive but a 71.5 Cheetah on a LB7 would rip quick spool and big top end power.

The LB7 is a pita most of the turbo upgrades do not have quick enough response for me and with the IHI they are hard to twin

 

[Brayden]

interesting another thing to play with, maybe a controller could be added to read drive pressure and boost pressure and limit the DP/Boost ratio lets say past X psi of boost... cause some people like to keep things turned all the way up and maybe a switch could be added to switch it to turbo brake mode to get the best of both worlds

edit, looking at the controller i do see lots o buttons on there... ooooh

Drive pressure will be an option as a limiter. It's set up like your boost table in EFILive..Our table has desired boost pressure on the X axis and RPM on the Y. Vane position is the variable. It's very easy to map out and there are modifiers to limit overall boost, min and max adjustment from the boost knob, etc...





It will be in a TurboBrake enclosure so the turbobrake mode is available on a switch. You also get the allilocker features activated on this as well.

Sure you can!

 

[Brayden]

leave it to you...

Nice, work Brayden, alot of people have been asking for this for along time, you guys are really stepping up to the plate in innovations it seems. That turbo is music to my ears.

Thank you.. We try (All 3 of us)

Correct.

so how much for just the controller?

:cool2:
will it work with lly, lbz, and lmm turbos

 

[JoshH]

That's a really cool option for people looking for something new for the LB7s. You always seem to come up with some new innovation. I think it's shops like yours that are helping the Duramax continually improve and evolve. :thumb:

:happy2:


I guess I need to get a LLY turbo

My neighbor has a LBZ with a turboback and I always love to hear the VGT as he drives off

Yes it would Jacob Sorry for answering for you Brayden

 

[JoshH]

An LBZ or LMM turbo will spool better than an LLY turbo.

still have your stock turbo laying around henry

sorry for the OT

fleece setting the bar again

Yep... 6.0L powerstroke as well.. I'm actually sending a pair of turbos to austrailia with controllers. That was the push to finish this project.
