My un-official research from 3rd party says Bosch rates the MW for max 50hp per cylinder. Having a pump flow tested on a bench would be the only way to know, as that is exactly what having a pump "flowed" or "benched" does. The MW pump is also common on DT466 engines, and they can get 400hp...
Be careful of opinions. I personally doubt the MW will flow 400hp of fuel and have yet to see that, maybe it does, can be verified by having the MW pump bench tested for flow output at max fueling rate. I think the MW pump is 10mm plungers, as where a P-7100 pump is typically 12mm plungers. A...
That's why I went with a modern EFI 400hp 8.9L ISL from an RV (not yet installed). Has 40 psi VGT boost from the factory, roller lifters, 4 valve head, genuine Jake brake, multiple injections per combustion event, and 2 piece steel topped pistons so EGT is no concern. Plus SAE certified...
Holset is mostly viewed as a technology follower, not leader, yet they are a sub of Cummins so will always be used by them. BorgWarner has paved the path as a leader in turbo technology, they are the supplier for the majority of Ford EcoBoost turbos, etc..... In situations where I have heard...
Not sure this is making sense to me. A 5 ton is quite off road capable by design, so unsure what a full off road build would mean beside locker axles. If you want brute low end power, you should maybe get a 250 powered truck. Or, possibly a turned up 8.3L in low range, but don't use reverse.
Everybody is fine, some of my best friends in this thread. Let us know how it works. Holset is supposed to be lagging in technology compared to BW, so we're staying tuned....
