1989-1993 Cummins
5.9 engines have a variety of large turbine housings that all result
in a large turbo lag before boost is developed. The above years
will benefit by changing to a 16 sq cm housing to a non-waste gated
turbine housing part #1045910 on stock or engines that have had
high flow injectors installed
1994-1999 stock
engines have the 12 sq cm w/g hsg that can be quite restrictive
when the power is increased above 300 flywheel HP and results in
high exhaust temperature.
2001 automatic
transmission equipped engines have a 9 or 10 sq cm hsg that is too
restrictive for a high power increase (beyond the 300 hp)
2003 and 04
BD twin turbo's include an adapter so the turbo mount exhaust brake
can bolt up; later models require a remote mount exhaust brake.
2003-04 Engines that have any more than a 100 hp increase will cause
the stock turbo to over speed, surge and fail.
The ultimate
“bolt-on” for the Dodge Ram! BD’s twin turbo's
for the Dodge 5.9 liter Cummins engine can develop between 350 to
700 rear wheel horsepower (rwhp) with adequate fueling (diesel only)
while remaining responsive and durable enough for street and towing
applications. Not only do these kits deliver impressive horsepower
and torque increases, they look great and sound incredible!
BD twin turbo
kit features a pair of stage-compounded AirWerks S300 turbochargers
equipped with extended tip compressor wheels to keep air flow high,
and exhaust gas temperature (EGT) low. The kit’s high-pressure
turbo provides quick, low-rpm response, which is then compounded
by the low-pressure turbo for a broad power curve across the engine’s
rpm range.
Plus, the high-pressure
dual volute waste gated turbo in this kit is the same used in the
BD twin turbo kit, making it easy to step up to twin-turbo power
when you’re ready.
For competition
applications, even higher horsepower (675 plus) and boost pressure
(100 psi) can be obtained-- however a lot of fuel and a shot of
nitrous to overcome the inefficiencies of the stock intercooler.
2003-current trucks can also benefit from BD’s new Cool-It
intercooler; applications for earlier trucks are currently in the
works.
The BD twin
turbo kit comes complete with a stainless steel X-Intake, flow-matched
exhaust and intake piping and all necessary heat shields—plus,
’03-06 applications come with our new three-piece Pulse exhaust
manifold. Installation allows for the stock oil cooler to be left
in its place.
