5.9 Cummins December 26, 2009 02:03PM
Anybody using a 5.9 cummins 12 valve motor in a Single Turbo Prostock (Diesel). Just wondering what size of charger it could turn and what a reasonable HP number would it be good for ?

Thanks

there are rumors of them turning 4+ in chargers as a single.who knows.also 1200 hp is a realistic number depending on turbo and fuel system.just my thoughts.

There are 4-5 single charger 5.9 Cummins powered tractors pulling with MSTPA and MMTTPA in Missouri.They pull at weights ranging from 5700-6200.Heres Jeff Dobbs from the Lebanon,MO area on his Cummin For Nuttin White.

I belive swampy is right. I vaguely remember reading a post on Competitiondiesel.com, about a truck spinning a 4"+- charger. To the best of my knowledge, most of the high horsepower pulling trucks are using the 12 valve head. You can put a 24v head on a 12v block. The 24v is supposed to breathe a little better and be less prone to cracking. You can also put a P-pump on a 24v engine. Stay away from blocks that have a "53" cast into the driver's side. They tend to crack in the water jacket, regardless of horsepower.

we made 1250hp on a 3X4 charger with a intercooler on our 5.9

theres rumors of people using 4in but I know of a 3.6 with an E turbine working on one for a fact again with an intercooler.
