Anyone know how to turn a 3306b cat up? its in a 1989 kenworth. Its to slow on the hills:CRY:

 

[JakeDiesel]

Sorry don't miss with ***** cats. :lol3: just kiding. What type of pump does it have on it, is it a common rail?

 

[justadonor]

that engine would not be common rail injection, im not sure hjow its done, but i ccan find out, i used to be a cat technician

 

[tractorpuller]

No its not common rail. It is some kind of inline pump. I think maybe cat made their own pump?

That is a fairly small engine in that size of a truck. I think the strongest was without me looking up specs, 330 HP and somewhere under 700 lb ft torque. Give me the serial number of engine and I can get specs off of Caterpillar web site and tell you if you can improve any.

model is 3306b serial is 63Z12417. I think thats right its kinda faded. hopefully there is something i can do for it.

[hockeyman]

I saw on the 1st test the boost was35-36 in HG=17-18lbs , not very much IMO. Somebody, somewhere has or could have some Mods to put more fuel and boost, but probably custom made.Think double the power???

 

[tractorpuller]

Truck has 250000 some odd miles, so hardly what i would call wore out. We tow a 35000 pound Ag-bagger with it. I dont know if i am just used to cummins power LOL! but i think that that engine should be capable of more. it hardly smokes so i dont think its at its potential LOL!

 

[06BANKSBOY]

There's a pump procedure thats pretty involved that will turn the fuel to er'. I have a PDF on it at work I'll get it this afternoon and post it for you. That turbo has a mechanical wastegate which can be "adjusted" or Tied off. This will get you some more boost but with that size engine you are close to where you should be.

Thats a good little motor you've got there. Now if you had a 3406......eelout

 

[justadonor]

if you had one of those you could EASILY get 550 horse out of it, maybe not out of a B model 3406, but i KNOW you can out of a 3406Eeelouteelout

Sure thing ours is over 800 :$:

This will give you an idea about what these big diesel guys are doing

Again I say a small engine for a lot of work. I would think the Cummins is double the size of this engine. If you are anywhere 10,000 hours or have used 30,000 gal of fuel, it's probably worn out. I measurement of the blow by would be a good indicator. Even my service truck has a C7 set at 300 HP and 860 lbft torque.It is 33,000 GVW and I would not want it any bigger with that engine.:T:

A 3406 is double the size of the 3306:rof

 

[tractorpuller]

What size is the 3306? cubic inch or liter wise that is. I would have to look at the hour meter to be sure but I dont think its anywhere near 10000 hour.

Your are just under 640 CID.. and a 3406 is 962 CID. Big difference . I would think 90 + % of trucks that size have the larger. :$::$::$:

250,000 miles @40MPH average works out to 6300 hours . That is with no idle time or warm up. Over the road trucks at best only average 45 MPH. Think about it...:CRY::CRY::CRY:

 

[Bomaster238]

im sure there are no electronics for that, as in programmers etc, but im sure there has to be a way to turn that pump up. maybe bigger injectors?
