Tuning?
Really?
Seriously?
Tuning?
Really?
I don't ever remember a Navistar Powerstroke ever having a turbo chuck it's guts out over a mild 30 lbs of boost, and if you haven't seen the thread title yet, I would suggest accepting the problem as something Ford has under engineered because there is a new replacement available..
Hopefully soon, you might accept that the entire engine is engineered wrong when it comes to strength, and stop blaming it on "tuning".
Nothing was more primitive than some of the old Superchips 7.3L tunes where the waste gate was adjusted with a "boost tube", remember?. Yeah, a archaic aluminum tube with a random hole in it, inserted in the vacuum line leading directly to the waste gate to produce a vacuum leak so the wastegate wouldn't ever work, and I don't seem to recall a problem with tuning chucking rods out of the side of the block then. I do remember high boost codes, EGT temps that would melt the pistons and tons of ugly unburned fuel coming out of the tail pipe, an even the turbo fan blades melting down, but I don't seem to recall a window in my block, or anyone elses for that matter.
Next excuse for laying down and accepting this paper weight from FMC?
And no Uga, I don't want to rebuild one...
Also, you are trying to sell gasoline tuning as some barometer for high compression, tight tolerance, high fuel volume and expanded injection timed diesel tuning? I'm out of laughs for that one because to compare the two rules out any more time reading your posts..
Dude, the 6.7L rods fold like jello at the same or less boost pressures than what the mildest tuned 6.4L lives at every day. Even the 6.0L didn't fold up like this. At least the 6.0L was strong enough in the crank case to blow the heads off before ever folding the rods..
Does reality hurt that much to admit that the 6.7L fails when pushed?
And if the next excuse is "don't push it", then I will have seen and heard it all.
In three or four years, you'll be looking back and saying what a jack job the early 6.7L engines were.
I guarantee it...
