![VE Fuel Pump Tuning for a 3.9 Cummins 4BT #CumminsTahoe [EP9]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wayyF15RR7o/mqdefault.jpg)
I know I did not pressed the like on all vids in this tahoe series, but any how I loved each vid and it was awesome to watch you build this Tahoe. Its too bad even if I had the money to do a build like this the vehicle could never be registered in my state due to the emission regs. Awesome build
This was awesome and thank you for uploading . I’ve been toying with the idea of swapping in a 4BT in my 06 dodge 1/2 tone
matrix777able bout to do it with my 05
I love deboss from years past, because his custom exhaust looks like mine.
His welds look like what I can do.
Rich. Your new stuff is too good.
You have improved the small details of your builds 10 fold in the past couple years.
Very nice swap! Thanks for showing all of the sticking points and your solutions to them as well...really helps take the mystery out of my plan and hopefully will save me some money when I do my swap. Be interesting to see how your stock 4L60e holds up.
Great job man!! Also about the passengers probably not likeing the turbo spool noise. I got lucky, my Wife loves it. Sometimes she makes turbo noises to when she is in my Cummins with me. hahahahahahahaha.
I really enjoy watching the Tahoe build series and all the other videos on your channel, great editing and narrative . Thank you for the videos!
"just cruising at 90", then i realized it was KPH not MPH haha
Brett Bowersock yeah. Had the same thought in a previous video, when he spoke about engaging the lockup at 60. “100km/h before the lockup engages, thats a lot!” i thought. But then again. Canada. As a european, i struggle to hear the difference between US and Canadian accents.
I like your electrical tape bandage. What happen?
That was a lot of fab work! Love this channel thanks!!
The closer the fuel is to vapor the better the fuel economy.
Smaller injector hole sizes reduce the fuel droplet size. Smaller size holes require more psi to drive the injector.
Green Diesel Injectors are 160,000 psi, built with syringe technology, also containing a piezo hydraulic fuel pump.
On a 6.6 liter diesel these injectors help achieve 500hp with 40mph.
See Johnny Magic videos.
Loving that wristband
Have you considered a Banshee 2 vgt controller from steed tech in Colorado for a larger quick spooling vgt turbo that won't have such high egt's they are 750 US dollars but well worth it. I run one on my 12 valve and absolutely love it
Awesome job bro! 10:42 was godly!
Nice
I’m envious of your setup
great video. I need to get rid of my h1c. I've been looking at a hx30w.
Your one smart mechanic
How does the power compare to a 5.3?
Smart mechanic
Awesome video! Thanks.
turbo looks similar to something on a vw. Frankenstein turbo!
Yo you are smart enough to build componds just do it they are awesome
Have you seen his duramax tow truck ? ;p
Could you put one of them cheap GT3582/3576/4582/2576. Would any of those variations work good on a 4bt. There's no videos about it so I'm guessing that it would just blow up the turbo
Great vid Rich as always. Will you be adjusting primarily the boost on the turbo to get better gas milage? If so, will you film that and explain that? I have zero experience with turbos and would love to learn. Thanks.
+Erated78 Getting better mileage is a balance of boost and fuel. The more fuel you put it, the more boost you get, the worse your mileage. It is finding the right turbo for your application and setting your fuel accordingly. Adjusting the wastegate is a safety feature to make sure you don't get overboost. The cylinder head gasket can only take so much. Replacing your cylinder head bolts with studs allows for more boost but again, I don't need that for everyday cruising which is why I will be setting it at about 40 psi. The different Turbos, and the different compressor and turbine wheels all make a different graph that takes a speacial kind of genius to figure out. I will share everything I know and learn along the way though.
I have two questions how much horsepower does it make with a 4 cylinder Cummins and why didn't you just put the 5 9 Cummins in it instead I would like to know please
What do you think of the engine? Im really tempted to buy one soon off a member.
Can you post a link to where I could purchase the black bracelet your wearing in this video please
DIY wristband
Great work and great videos, can't hget enough of them. Question: I put an OM606 engine with 90cc of fuel on a 2002 Silverado. The stock kkk14 takes long to spool. Would you happen to know how the HE221w might work with my set up, if it might be able to imrove spooling time? I'm currntly seeing about 5psi at 2500 rpm, I'd like to see more boost a bit sooner for comfortable daily driving. Also don't have an EGT gauge just yet but I suspect high EGTs.
What transmission do u use?? What changes have u made to comensate for the power delivery??
Did it give him better mileage in the end?
So, I have a 99 Silverado 1500. The 5.3 is a great motor but I am driving a lot, probably 400 miles a week. I want to throw a cummins in it. I would love a 6bt power wise but the 4bt will most likely crush the fuel mileage. How do you like the power/speed of the 4bt? Any guess on what you are pushing out of it? Were you able to make the cruise control work?
+Jay Gile If it has a 4l60E, the 6bt will rip it to shreds and if it is 4x4, the torsion bars won't be able to hold the weight. 6BT will have lots of power but the 4BT has enough for cruising and occasional towing. I have towed 9000lbs with no issues.
+DEBOSS GARAGE Were you able to figure out the cruise control? Did you ever dyno the Tahoe?
I looked into the dyno and the shop wanted $450 sooooo, no. I havn't had time to look at the cruise yet. I need to set up an older vacuum setup but have to figure out a vacuum pump yet. A 6bt is nicer for that as you can use the Dodge setup. The 4bt really doesn't have any room for the pump
Right, I'm just trying to get some better fuel mileage without destroying power or drivability. It's a nice build, and I'm looking forward to seeing what your fuel mileage gets to when you get into tweaking things more. I looked up 0-60mph times for the stock Tahoe and it looks like yours is about 1 mph per second slower(the conversion is a pain) so like 2 seconds overall which isn't bad. My truck has 4.56 gears and runs 35" tires, with the hyper tech tuner I get 14 mpg mix of city and highway, would love to double that.
Old video, but new subscriber. What size exhaust housing did you go for? 5.5, 6 and 7 cm seem to be popular but I'm not sure if I should consider anything but the 6 cm for my 4bt in a 77 f150 4x4 swap at 4500' feet home elevation.
Where did you get that flange? I have a new turbo but its electronic actuated. I wonder if I can make waste gate
What kind of transmission did you use for this engine?
Gildardo Felix stock 4l60e from the original 5.3 I think
What size exhaust housing you have in HE221W? 5.5, 6, 7 cm2 or bigger?
My isuzu 4bd1 3.9 with a gt 22 and weighing 2500kg gets from zero to 80 in 7.6 seconds
was this the 5.5cm2 exhaust or the 7cm2 exhaust?
i love your vids and you are one of the reasons im pulling a 4bt out of a bread truck i snagged. with some luck i will be pulling it soon. im tossing it into a 1970 bronco and i was wondering what you would do to a stock 4bt to get it streetable/quick but reliable, nothing to crazy. im assuming its stock.
this turbo seems to be a solid choice
Where do you find the 4bt
Bread trucks have them
Do all of the OEM controls work? Like cruise control?
looking at this turbo for a different build- what rpm do you first see 10psi?
Love your Channel Rich! I wanted to ask you or anyone who would know. What was the weight difference between the 4bt and the 5.3? Did you have to add any extra suspension up front? Thank you!
3.9 vs 5.3 un mundo de diferencia
what size intercooler pipe do i use with this turbo ?
how final horse power and N/m ?
Newton/meter
What is the deal with the flickering?? Interior lights??
Can't see the flicker in person. LED lights always flicker on video when the frequency refresh rate is lower than the camera's shutter speed.
what's your current MPG?
+Andrew Molln about 20-25 mpg but its winter, and they are a lot of shorter trips. Hoping to get to get a long trip soon and the better weather will be here soon
@@DEBOSSGARAGE
My 1996 Dodge with 5.9 CUMMINS & 5 speed manual, getting 22+ m.p.g. on the Highway. Thanks for all the help.
1st :) if you come to Michigan let us know .. it be cool to meet you and see the cummins Tahoe. I'm in the Detroit area .
did you hook your tps sensor up to your pedal or install a tps sensor?
pedal
what mods would you suggest to do to a 6bt ve44 with a 46re to make affordable realible power ?
+sam grabel Fuel pin, and governor spring and adjust pump. watch the tuning video on the Tahoe
why the gauges and what not flickering like that?
The camera does that, they don't actually flicker. Same thing when you video tape a computer monitor
Aww I see..
i was like your camera is jacket up lol
I have pedal travle issues with my gas pedal hits floor before wide open is there any adjustments I can make it got 2 or more inches of upward travel It a d250 cummins
+sam grabel I have never heard of that before. Is it a VE or a P-pump? Either a linkage is bent or the end of the cable housing slipped out of the holder.
+DEBOSS GARAGE Ve pump
On the cable where it connects to the pedal itself, there is supposed to be a little rubber dampner between the pedal and the ball on the end of the cable. If the rubber is gone, that is your problem
sam grabel your truck does not run on gas
Which brand/model gauges do you use?
Pretty clear in the vids they're Glowshift
holy shitty welds bud, dam so many holes. I'd be happy to weld some stuff for you send them my way.
what torque converter are you using?
+Andrew Molln Still stock convertor but I have it set to lock up at 105km/hr. at 90km/hr I'm turning at 1800 rpm. If I have it lock up at 85, It seemed to lug a little and I didn't like it. I was just thinking today of dropping it back down though and seeing if the new turbo makes a difference on lugging. I did have to replace the torque convertor on my Silverado with the 5.9 in it because I had a heavy load and it locked too soon so I am careful....
You can control the lockup with your stand alone controller?
Sorry not to familiar with auto transmission but just sold my 05 Cummins today and am looking at a few Tahoe's
Thats a sweet ride you'v built there my freind. How can i contact you? Do you have a facebook page? Great videos.
+Erez M Thanks! you can get a hold of me at debossgarage-at-gmail-dot-com and our facebook page is facebook.com/debossgarage
600 egt,is frigin high.should be half,.needs an intercooler.safer.
how difficult would it be to put the 4bt into a 2007 jeep wrangler and do you recommend the VE pump or the p7100 ?
why 221 over hx30w?
Haha. Good one.
I hope your compressor cover doesn't reclock itself and cause an overboost issue from removing the locating pin. That said, nice truck.
Even though it hasn't happened in the 20k km I put on it since the install, the boost gauge was still a good investment. I might be good looking, but I'm not stupid
+DEBOSS GARAGE lol subbed
Awesome to have more guys with a sense of humor! Thanks
Look Man don't over do the entertainment. A Cummins is a true diesel engine Stone cold torque monster The Legendary Cummins 5.9 & the 4bt pull 20 thousand pounds up a 7 percent grade at posted speed limits before the turbo kicks in...Duh
I had 18 thousand pounds of fertilizer behind a 90 3/4 ton pickup hit a 7 percent grade turbo screamed Scared Me darn near to death, I pulled all kind of things, had the truck 10 years over 2 hundred thousand miles not a 1 major repair bone stock , I never heard my Cummins whistle like a big truck OMG Sooo sweat ..Bottom line the school didn't need all that boost to get the butter from the bull, great entertainment for the people that are not truly mechanically enclined....
