As with all engines, the 6.7 PowerStroke is prone to its share of issues. The cold side charge pipe is among one of the common issues on the 6.7L diesel, especially when tuning and modding. An upgraded charge pipe not only improves reliability, but can also offer some power and performance benefits. In this guide,…
For over a decade now, the Ford 6.7 Powerstroke and Dodge’s 6.7 Cummins have been the top of the line for turbo-diesel power plants. Yet, besides their displacement, they actually share very little in common. For starters, the Powerstroke is a V8 while the Cummins is an inline-six. However, they are two of the most…
Crankcase ventilation systems take dirty gases and pass them back into the intake system to have them burned during combustion. While this is a positive for emissions, it is a negative when it comes to performance and engine longevity on the 6.7 Powerstroke. For these reasons, deleting the CCV system is a popular modification to…
If there is one downside to the 6.7 Powerstroke, it was Ford’s decision to use the Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump. The CP4.2 is notorious for failing early, and it also struggles to adequately fuel past 500 horsepower. A much better option is the Bosch CP3 fuel pump. For those looking to push their builds…
When it comes to 6.7 Powerstroke performance modifications, nothing adds power like a turbocharger upgrade. Furthermore, the 2011-2014 models had an unreliable and problematic turbo, making it a great performance and reliability upgrade to swap in a new turbo. However, there are tons of routes to go and differing options based on your engine generation….
Upgrading the intercooler and intercooler piping on the 6.7 Powerstroke can add some substantial power gains, up to around 40lb-ft of torque. Additionally, it will help lower EGTs and improve reliability making it one of the best performance upgrades for the 6.7 Powerstroke. In this article, we are going to discuss the performance benefits of…
Tunes are one of the best performance modifications you can make on your 6.7 Powerstroke. There are a lot of different tuning options from off-the-shelf flash tunes to custom tunes to dyno tuning, etc. Whether you are just looking to add an extra 50rwhp or trying to build a 700rwhp monster, tuners are an important…
6.7 Powerstroke emissions systems tend to be common failure items and are very expensive to repair. While the diesel particulate filter and other emissions systems are great at reducing emissions, they do have a few downfalls. First, the DPF system is prone to clogging. Secondly, it creates a lot of backpressure in the exhaust system…
Ford’s turbodiesel 6.7L PowerStroke V8 is already an impressive engine from the factory with new models producing over 1,000 torque. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for improvement! Just a few basic performance upgrades can add over 100whp and 200wtq to the 6.7 Powerstroke. We’re going to cover the best performance upgrades, focusing…
One of the biggest challenges with the 6.7 Powerstroke is the addition of advanced emissions equipment. It’s one of the reasons that I still prefer a classic pre-emissions diesel for reliability purposes – but they just don’t produce the power that these newer versions do. The 6.7 Powerstroke has a few common problems relating to…
Ford introduced the 6.7 PowerStroke diesel V8 engine for the 2011 model year. In the decade since, it has remained one of the most popular diesel power plants on the market. Displacing 6.7 liters, or 409 cid, Ford’s 6.7 Powerstroke produces outstanding performance, but only average reliability. Ford nicknamed the engine the Scorpion, and it…
Intake upgrades are a great simple mod to free up power, sounds, and efficiency on the 6.7L Powerstroke engine. In addition to power gains you will also get a 1-2mpg fuel economy improvement alongside improved turbo efficiency. With years of modifying Powerstroke engines under my belt, an intake is always one of the first modifications…
