DIESEL POWER SOURCE
The Diesel Power Source “Monster Compounds” are completely
ready to bolt on and are equipped with a 66mm turbo over an S483
capable of 1200 horsepower. In this kit, both turbos (66mm and the
S483 turbo) come with a Billet Milled Wheel and race compressor
cover designed using the latest in Computation Fluid Dynamic test-
ing. Using a T-3 manifold and waste gate turbo greatly assists with
turbo spool up and drivability that is typically uncommon at such
high horsepower. This kit is specifically designed to fit in Dodge
trucks with a Cummins engine and also Ford trucks with a Cummins
Conversion (Fummins). The kit allows you to retain your battery, air
conditioning lines, etc. Designed for trucks between 1994-2007, this
kit can be installed on trucks up to 2012 that have been previously
deleted. (801-930-8404 // http://www.dieselpowersource.com)
The word turbo kind of says it all: take the existing engine and ramp up the power with a pressure boost. Here we
have a selection of manufacturers offering various kits you can use to soup up your truck. This isn’t all that’s out there,
but it’ll give you a taste of the possibilities. A word of caution: make sure to check your local laws before installing one
of these systems in a truck intended for the streets.
COMPOUND TURBOS
DOUBLE YOUR BOOST, DOUBLE YOUR FUN
HYPERMAX
This Hypermax dynamometer-developed
turbocharger system improves the already im-
pressive performance of the 7.3L International/
Navistar diesel engine with an increase of up
to 50 percent more power! Throttle vehicle fuel
economy is comparable to a naturally aspirated
engine. Combustion noise and cold smoke are
reduced as well. The Hypermax turbocharger
system is optimized for 1988-1994 Internation-
al S-Series trucks with 7.3L International/Navis-
tar diesel and 5-speed manual transmission.
The installed compound system makes over
150 psi of boost, allowing the truck to run at
6,000 RPM and make over 2000hp.

BD DIESEL PERFORMANCE
BD Diesel’s engineers have designed and tested each of the 800,
1000, 1200 and 1400 fly wheel Cobra Twin Turbo kits for maximum
power and efficiency. Borg Warner’s SX-E turbos were matched to
provide the wide range of air needed for use in Street and Strip perfor-
mance applications, and this Cobra kit includes everything needed for
bolt-on next-level performance. It’s a compact, clean, space-
optimized design that keeps air conditioning, both batteries
and shock tower in their stock positions!
The kit includes BD’s waste-gate-ready exhaust manifold,
exclusive cast divided T6 hot pipe turbo connection that improves
turbo response and top end flow, the Cobra Head 5-inch close-radius
turbo exhaust outlet casting, 5-inch downpipe, rigid steel piping with
V-bands, custom coolant tube, formed silicone hoses, 5-inch Velocity
stack air filter with fresh air filter shroud, and all necessary hardware
to make for a complete, no-fabrication-required install. Coverage for
Dodge Ram 2003-2012 5.9L/6.7 Cummins engines.
