1994 DT466 straight pipe, rev up

str8 piped, #0 fuel plate, tighter gov springs, and advanced timing to 22*, same as the other 2 466 vids I have. I had it in gear(Allison MT653) at the end of the video, loading up the engine to hear the turbo.

Does the straight pipe affect power and fuel economy.

@Jhordane1

Yes.

It will spool up the turbo a smidge quicker, and the free flow will keep exhaust temps cooler. Dont expect but maybe a couple hp, and possibly a gain of .1 mpg. A lot depends on the current setup.

I have a stock 2000 DT466e(Dt466 electronic) never been rebuilt.

And also a 1990 DT466 which also have never been rebuilt.

Lots of potential with both engines. I'm currently working on a package for both engines, the 300+hp pkg

I drive a beer truck with a dt466 it runs circles around the other route trucks. One is a peterbilt with cat, terribly underpowered for what it needs to do. Mine hauls, even loaded down, I love it. Still miss my road truck with a series 60 but I like the route truck a lot. Sadly I have to switch to a goose neck soon, gonna miss that truck. Just aint enough bays for the route..

This one is faster than most newer 300hp trucks. I had the timing set a wee bit too high, and another driver was on the go pedal too much when it was cold.....popped the headgasket.

Thanks, I got in a lot of trouble to get it that way, and it sure is more fun to drive. I'm going to make another vid of this one soon.

I ride a IC CE with a DT466.. you talking about power and speed. We're able to climb hills while gaining speed. My bus does kick some ass.
