Water/Meth turbo selection

TXlineman83 · Jan 15, 2014

I'm looking into the Snow Performance stage 3 water meth kit and was wondering if a 72 atmo would be sufficient to push the extra horses. Or even if my stock fuel system would be able to keep up past that point. No need for wasted money that could be put elsewhere. I hope I've explained my inquiry well enough.

72mm is great and the stock fuel system isn't an issue. Don't bother with water/meth. The 6.4 doesn't respond well to it.

Doesn't respond well to it even for MPG

Nope. Complete waste of money on these trucks. Throw the 72mm on and run it.

Water meth does absolutely nothing with there trucks testing has shown. There was a write up in Diesel Power magazine with the testing as well. Didn't do squat. Save your money.

Does anyone know why some respond well and say the 6.4 could care less? Efficency in modern motors increasing??

turbos already do too much of the compression. me and bft did the dp mag testing and literally gained nothing, cept a headache.

Ok. I'm trying to see how far I can push the MPG of my truck. The power is welcome and fun. I'm looking at a ported intake and the 72 right now. Any other suggestions for what may help. I do not want to worry about raising my EGTS with propane. Can NOS Be applied in the manner water meth and used for economy purposes in moderation

It's a 8,000lb Brick! MPG's will never be good at that weight, and how
aerodynamic a truck isn't. I don't think you'll recoup the cost of the aftermarket parts with the fuel savings. Your best bet would be lowered, skinny tires, reduced weight, and use the skinny pedal a little as possible. But that does not sound fun to me.

Well my inquiry is because my old company has a crew cab dually flat bed 4x4 that use to get 25mpg on the highway and had a sick turbine sound from the exhaust. I don't know what they did to it but it ran better then my current 6.4 and I've dropped a few bucks into mine already. I just wanna see if I can get to 25mpg myself

I think anything can be attained when someone has the ambition to try for it.

Was this going off the lie-o-meter or hand calculated. Mine on the highway will sometimes show 22-23 but I know that's untrue

TXlineman83 · Jan 16, 2014

That was driving from Austin TX to the coast on an ice storm hand calculated

25mpg is a dream.

in addition to what you have stated, i would purchase all the no limit fab goodies to complete your air upgrades.

TXlineman83 · Jan 16, 2014

The lie-o-meter showed 27mpg

If I can not attain 25 mpg I understand. Like I said. I do not know what the company did to that other truck. It sounded unlike any other 6.4 I've ever heard in person or on you tube. Wicked cool music to the ears. I just wanted to see if I could match its economy.
