Performance Upgrades Of 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 thing to do when you are upgrading is to deal with the intake and the exhaust upgrades. When you are handling the exhaust system, you need to use a kit with a replacement for each part of the factory exhaust. It needs to be from the downpipe to the tailpipe.

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 also need to have in mind that these engines will not make use of the conventional glow plug. They will use the heater grid instead; the heater grid found in the intake tract. Most people will consider this minimal restriction because it does not lead to a lot of power loss. Remove the heater grid so as to improve the performance of the applications. This also increases the airflow. You should not use this method to modify the ordinary truck as it will be hard to start it when it is cold. When you remove the heater grid, the 6.7 Cummins will have a poor performance.

The performance of factory turbocharger is not good. The good news is that there are many aftermarket turbochargers that will help in improving the airflow. To maximize profits, you must upgrade the factory turbo when upgrading the fuel system. Those are the major upgrades that are required in your 6.7 Cummins.
