Improving The Performance Of The Dodge 6.7 Cummins L

By Shirley Rogers


It is incredible knowing that the performance of the Cummins is higher than that which has been provided by the factory. Before going for more torque, it is important paying attention to the required support upgrade. For example, a pyrometer is recommended for an engine that is to be modified. This will change the characteristics of fueling. You should plan effectively. Also, the factory transmitter may be not of the same strength with the stout engine. The good news is that many aftermarket Dodge 6.7 Cummins L are available for off-road users.

The first upgrade that you should deal with is the upgrade of the exhaust and the intake. In the case where you are dealing with the exhaust system, you need to find a kit that will have all the replacement for the factory exhaust parts. The kit should be from the tailpipe to the downpipe.

When you are upgrading your intake unit, you should not forget the air horn. This is usually not included in the kits for the air intake. The main purpose for the modifying the exhaust and the intake is so that there is easy transition through the losses reduction. You should choose a kit that has super filtration when you are looking for the one to buy.

Superior horsepower in 6.7 L can be unleashed by tuners. A tuner may be referred to as module or programmer. The tuner operates by adding parameters, maximizing fuel delivery, modification of calibration of the engine and changing injection timing. There are different settings available for the devices. It is important paying attention to manufacturers instructions when purchasing these devices. You should bear in mind that more power will result to more stress on drivetrain items.

When you are using the large injectors, there will be more flow of the fuel. The Cummins in the market have the injector upgrades. Before you buy any set, you need to talk to the injector manufacturer so that they give you the recommendations as per the use of the pickup. Remember that bigger does not always mean better. You should get an injector that is suitable for the characteristics of the upgrade.

The other part that should be upgraded is the intercoolers. Though the ratio of the performance to the cost is low, they will assist to reduce the temperatures of the gas of the exhaust. Most of the owners will not do the upgrade of the intercooler during the initial stages.

You should be aware that Cummins engines do not use the conventional glow plug. Instead, they use a heater grid located in the intake tract. Many owners consider the restriction to be minimal since it does not cause high loss of power. To enhance the performance of applications, the heater grid is removed. This will increase the airflow. The ordinary truck should not be modified in this manner. This is because starting it when it is cold will be difficult or even impossible. 6.7 Cummins will have the worst performance when the heater grid is deleted.

The turbocharger performance is poor. The good thing, however, is that there are various turbochargers that will help to improve the airflow. You can maximize profits by upgrading the fuel system and the factory turbo. These are the main upgrades that your 6.7 Cummins needs.
