How To Install Non VGT Turbo On Ram 6.7 Cummins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2023
- Get rid of the problematic factory VGT turbo and replace it with a fixed geometry turbo charger. In this video I am using a kit from Smeding Diesel, retails for $1500US. We also added a couple extra goodies. This kit should work for all 2007.5 - 2018 6.7 cummins. Truck had codes P2262 and P226B in case you were wondering.

This is not a job I would ever do, but I watched the whole thing. Your camera work and delivery are very engaging. I appreciate the warnings on the tricky parts. I can't wait to see you start ripping into that 5th gen!
Happy to see you making videos again!
This was a great help, definitely gonna be watching this channel all the time
Those cowls make the best tool trays!!👌🏻 good to see ya back man
fleece oil drain ftw. nice video
I actually bought a silicone fleece oil drain but it doesn’t fit with the aftermarket turbo so I had to get the metal one
Really nice Job on the 6.7 Cummins! Keep up the good work!🙏🏻👍
Great video nice to see you back
Good to see you back
Video is great. Is there stuff you can add, of course. But GREAT job with the video! Very detailed.
I just added a BD Exhaust manifold with the BD Iron horn, BD calls for 39 ft lbs on the bolts. Your right the Oil drain tube is a PITA. I went through the Wheel well and it made it a lot easier to get to the back 2 turbo bolts.
Great video. Glad you are open and honest in explaining and showing us the struggles that come with these upgrades that we will likely encounter! Very helpful. Now let's do some stuff to a 5th gen so I can get some ideas with mine! 👍🏼
I’ll be working on my 5th Gen very soon!
Good tutorial video...keep them videos coming
Holy hell I hope my turbo holds up because that looks like a super involved process
Power driven diesel makes the best fitting oil drain fixture that has a cap on it to hammer it in
Sounds like what we do. Any 6.7 that needs a turbo actuator or a new turbo we do a non vgt kit. Been installing a lot of the bd iron horn kits myself. Had good luck with them so far
Welcome back brother glad too see your back making videos again……you got rid of your new new Cummins and got yourself into an older Cummins less bullshit lol kidding man glad to see your back awesome video as always.
I felt your pain on the oil drain leaking lmao! I was laughing while simultaneously feeling sorry for you... I despise those freaking drains!
For the oil drain I’ve took hose removal pliers (the round ends ) and clamp it on the drain, then hit it with a hammer. It marred it up some but I was able to get it out
Mine was so tight I couldn’t believe it but maybe I’ll try that next time
Bummer with the oil drain, great video
Great video, thanks
I thought that the replacement VGT turbo would do fine for at least another 10 years, but it only lasted 6 weeks (just under 1K miles) and took a dump, I will be getting the Non-VGT set up on Monday, those clips at the back top and bottom can be worked off instead of pulling with a rachet strap, I will pull the turbo out before I take out the exhaust manifold, and I did get a longer oil drain tube for the 3rd GEN, I was hoping to use that Fleece VGT drain tube, but you do what you gotta do.
fleece performance has a really nice flexible oil drain like $100 us but really eliminates the hard non flexible one
I actually bought one for this truck but it doesn’t fit with the non vgt turbo, so now I have a fleece drain pipe sitting in my shop haha
@Dark Iron Diesel good to know was thinking about doing same turbo kit on my father in laws truck
great vid, I appreciate the honesty in pointing out the issues that one might encounter. When going to a non-vgt turbo don't you lose the engine braking function?
You lose the exhaust brake but also get lower egts, lower drive pressure, more response, more power, 1-2 mpg more
However for 920 you can do the bd exhaust brake that runs off an actuator and directly plugs in and restores it so total 3000 for a system that is much more reliable
Good video but May I suggest using guide studs with gaskets hanging when mounting the exhaust manifold
That’s how I do the gaskets
That’s not a bad idea
Kyle I’m not on any social media platforms
How can I reach you
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Limited megacab and want tune it and other things. It is basically stock. Except for the banks Gen 2 grid delete
And ram air intake
If I was doing that I would have to do the second Gen swap big time. I wand to do that so bad and it’s on a 05 5.9 with a 6 speed manual .
Great Video !!! 5 Star....
Hey nice video, someone on CF directed me here and I'm glad I watched. I was prepared for a fight with the oil drain... Now I really know what I'm in for! You might hear me cursing from Okotoks, AB next week...
The coolant lines... You referred to the top one as the feed, and the lower as the drain... Do you know if this is the case, or were you just using good logic? The reason I ask, is I'm fixed vane swapping to a Garrett BB with coolant lines. As I understand it, the upper coolant line is the RETURN, and the lower is the FEED. The reason I think this, is because the upper line plumbs into the hard line that runs under the manifold and RETURNS to the water pump inlet near the oil filter. Then naturally, that only leaves that lower line as the coolant supply. Did that make sense, or am I way off? Do you have a reliable way to verify? Another reason I think that hard line is the return is because when you follow it upward I comes from the heater core, and then you see the other heater core line next to it which comes from the head... And I ASSUME the head SUPPLIES the heater core. That was a long comment, sorry!
Haha I’ll listen for you. And I just assumed it goes in the top and out the bottom like the oil does however I could be completely wrong. What you said makes a lot of sense.
Running one of there turbos with zero issue's
That’s awesome. How long have you been running it for?
@Dark Iron Diesel probably about 3 to 4 months. I went with there s464/1.00 2nd gen swap with billet wheel and upgraded bearing. It's an absolute blast to drive paired up with a g56 transmission. I have nothing but good things to say about Smeding also. Everytime I had a question they answered it. With the setup I have at about 2k rpm it starts to spool and is gone. When the boost hits it hits hard. I love the fact that it's a very reliable setup not having to worry about vgt failure and honesty I thought I would miss my exhaust brake but I don't. Oh and the truck sounds like a Peterbilt now 😆
Did you have to plug in a can bus terminator into the actuator connectors to keep the can bus at 60 ohms?
I’m surprised there’s no coolant feed line for the turbo. You’d think they’d want coolant flowing to cool it down too. I get oil does that as well as lube but extra cooling is nice
Oil only needed for a non VGT turbo….the vgt system is what requires coolant
The oil drain can't be upgraded to an AN fitting and line can it? I've never seen them in person.
Where is your link to the 4g install, I’m about to do a Smeding s369sxe this weekend and wanted to see on a 4g
Since this is an old video did you ever replace your exhaust brake?
What do you do with the speed sensor? When it doesn’t see the actuator does it go into limp mode?
Did you end up needing to connect the exhaust back pressure sensor?
Can you run a non vgt turbo with the H&S mini maxx?
Do you have to do the coolant reroute
I have the dreaded “turbo module” codes on my 4th gen, if it actually needs a whole new turbo, I think I’d rather go this route, because it wouldn’t be much more than a new factory turbo. Mine isn’t deleted yet, so I’d have to get a delete kit, and I live in the us, so deletes are harder to get. Is there a Canadian company out there that would send a full delete kit with the tuner pre tuned to a fixed geometry turbo such as an s366?
Check the description. You can get the efi live tuner with non vgt tunes from dirty diesel customs. They will ship it to you. Get ccs tunes and use DARKIRON5 for 5% off. You will have to order the exhaust from the other link I have there, diesel dudes will ship exhaust to you
What about the exhaust brake?
Did you ever find out whether running the truck with no back pressure sensor messed anything up? I’m doing this same kit on my 2012
Hmmm if I remember correctly it didn’t matter
Hey any experience 3rd gen swapping a 5th gen?
It’s a two piece manifold so you just tighten one side and then do the other.
Christ, you’re right. I give up lol.
Dorman part for you
That's weird. Every time I read the comments, people are pretty positive. I'd like you to do the heater grid delete and banks monster ram install for me, but that's a far drive... 😢
Ok fair, most comments are positive, but there’s always that one guy that rips me apart for every mistake haha.
@darkirondiesel There's always at least one a$$hole in the crowd who ruins the party for everyone... Some people are just ignorant PrIcKs.
Any discount codes for semeding?
I got BOOST5 (Military Discount)
I like your German method gooduntight !! Ha Ha
Bet he really misses that exhaust brake on the truck now
I mean... a vast majority of folks dont use it. Also the BD inline EB not only ties into the factory button and functions but its a superior EB to the VGT. $1500 fixed kit + $1000 BD EV is still less than a "good" crappy VGT.
I think Bundy Exhaust Brake makes one for the 6.7 Cummins.
He can not or I would not get ride of heater grid if I lived in Canada.
Does it pay divideds to repost old videos?
stop yelling at us hahaha. should have donhe AN fittings instead of those crappy flexible tubes.
Fucking kit says 10-15 business days to deliver Jesus or $600 for 5 days
This is a reposted video of an old you tube channel 😂
Can I have you delete and tune my Ram later? Let me know but j gotta drive to Canada or ship my truck up there.
