Upgrading Your Dodge 6.7 Cummins L

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.

The air horn should not be neglected when upgrading the intake system. This is not provided in the kits for air intake. The main goal of modification of exhaust and intake is losses reduction through the easy transition. When choosing which kit to purchase, you should aim at one with super filtration.

You can use the tuners to unleash the horsepower in 6.7 L. The tuner can also be known as a programmer or the module. The tuner adds parameters, modifies the engine calibration, changes the injection timing and maximizes the delivery of fuel. The settings available are of various types. You should pay extra attention to the manufacturers guidelines when you are buying these machines. You also need to keep in mind that there will be more stress on the drive items when there is more power.

Using large injectors leads to more fuel flow. The Cummins engines have the upgrades for the injector in the market. Before you purchase any set, you need to contact the manufacturer of that particular injector. When you do this, they will give you the recommendations depending on the use of the pickup. Do not think that the bigger the device is, the better it is. Get an injector that is ideal for the upgrade characteristics.

The intercoolers require upgrading also. Though their performance to cost ratio is low; they help in reducing the temperatures of the exhaust gas. Many owners do not carry out intercooler upgrade in their first 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 factory turbocharger does not have a good performance. However, there are the aftermarket turbochargers that assist in improving the airflow. When you are looking to maximize profits, you should upgrade the factory turbo with the fuel system. These are the main upgrades that you require for your 6.7 Cummins.
