The amount of boost a Cummins motor can handle varies depending on the specific model and modifications. Generally, stock Cummins engines can handle around 30-40 psi of boost safely, but with performance upgrades and aftermarket parts, they can tolerate higher levels, often reaching 50 psi or more. It's essential to consider factors such as fuel quality, tuning, and overall engine health when determining boost levels. Exceeding safe limits can lead to engine damage, so proper tuning and monitoring are crucial.
Only about 7 or 8psi safely on a stock motor anymore than that your asking for another motor. Experienced this with 12psi was fun lol and I was impressed with how much it held up to.
about 60psi
Won't be an easy fit.. the Cummins is an inline six, with a much longer block. You'll almost certainly have to go to electric fans.
7 psi is safe to boost on a stock d-series motor
The f22b1 is a great engine for boost it has a compression of 8.8:1 and can handle 12.1:1 so you boost about 11-12lbs. On the stock internals no problem.
If it hasn't got a turbo there's no place for it to get boost from.
Yes, it can only if you run more than the heads can handle. With the proper amount of boost she will purr like a kitten.
Stock turbo can run close to 14 PSI...but you can increase as much as your turbo can. The engine will not last as long with higher boost. Upgrading internals such as pistons, rods, crankshaft, camshaft, and valves can allow much higher boost.
8lbs max, anymore and you better cross your fingers.
It's within the realm of possibility, but not of practicality. First off, the 6.5 LB7 is a V8 engine, whereas the Cummins (whether the 5.9 or 6.7) is an inline six with a much larger block.
you might be running too much boost off of your turbo especially if youre running a stock turbo
You can get a re-manufactured cummins for around $8000.00.
