Ok well i have a mack dumptruck with a turbo on it the motor is shot so can i take the turbo off it and put it on my tuck if i can get it to fit, Will my truck be able to spool it up and would it make any more power

Thanks
Dan

this is not my motor but its a pic so you can see how big

 

i never say never...but this time....... ..hey if it bolts up to ur manifold and then to ur dowpipe then give it a try in ur parking lot and let us know what the pyro tells u and smoke and such... im guessing uve been fooling around in ur local bone yard havent u....ive spent countless hours in mine....but because ur motor isnt a 12 valve i dont think u can fool around as much......i like ur thinking though...in my bone yard there are 3 5.9's with 7-speed trannies bolted to them ...im thinking conversion but like urs its just a dream

 

Those turbos are bigger but not better. Your modern turbo is most likly way more efficient. IMO i would look in to a new turbo that is proven.

 

I say go for it.
You'll probably be able to hit 650hp with it.

 

What is the model # on it? Does it say on the I.D. tag anything about it? You will need more fuel to spool it if it will fit up. Couldnt be that laggy, since the big trucks use it, and fuel is what spools turbo's. More laggy than what you have im sure, but it shouldnt be just horrible. It would be worth a try

If it won,t bolt up, then get out the welder.

 

if ur at the bone yard already then get a bigger turbo off a C16 cat or a cummins N14....or a 60 series detroit..all bigger than the mack motor..i dont think mack makes a motor over 13 liters..or just barely

 

ok well im going to try to but it on to night i have the superchip and a set of 275 you think that will be a good amount of fuel to spool the turbo i had the stock turbo all the was off the truck last night **** when makeing the plat to go from the mack turbo to my manifold i fu@k up so i have to start all over to night and as far as the downpipe i have the 4in one that should fit in my truck hope this all works

Wow....I don't know what to say?? .......To put it politely, don't waste your time with that turbo....at the very least, you MUST identify exactly what size the turbo is before you waste any time and $ trying to adapt it to your CTD......With what little information there is, the size of the turbo and the age of it, I would say you will be less than happy with the performance.....the condition it is in may also be a concern.

 

I don't think the pics are the real one he has.So the other one is probally in better shape.I say go for it,you can always put the stocker on again.

 

Thats gonna be a biggin for a single

 

You have RV275 injectors and are asking whether they will spool the Mack turbo?

I doubt it. I have 275's and they barely spool an HX40/35 hybrid adequately.

 

4/1/05 fellas.........

 

Oh boy!! ........Got me good!! .....I was starting to wonder what the heck was going on here!!

 

ok well i got the turbo on the truck after working on it for some time when going down the road its very slow then it starts to spool around 35 40 mph all it would make is about 15lbs so the stock turbo is back on the good old truck lol

Dan

i have pic up later with the set up of how it was all done
