Duramax Experts Boost Power And Torque
 ✖  |
Pacific Performance Engineering (PPE) has the tools to upgrade your Duramax engine with massive horsepower and torque or both. If you prefer, PPE can simply replace your old engine with a new Duramax, loaded as you like it. The company also offers products for Powerstroke and Dodge Cummins engines.
“At PPE, we produce products that add not only horsepower, but increase fuel mileage and reliability, too,” says Matt Emery, PPE. “PPE’s agenda has always been to use the very latest in electronic and manufacturing advances to gain the absolute maximum in performance benefits.”
The company supplies high performance engines and engine parts for racing and pulling competitions, marine recreation and racing, as well as work or towing. PPE will rebuild existing blocks or supply a new one customized to order. Kits and components are also available for customer rebuilds and upgrades. They include the PPE Dual Fueler, Duramaximizer Adjustable Power Chip, Standard Xcelerator, Hot Xcelerator, Compound Turbo kits and more.
The Dual Fueler ($1,450) is just that. It adds a second fuel pump with a microprocessor to double pumping capacity. The second pump reduces drive load on the OEM pump for greater pump reliability. With the addition of a PPE Duramaximizer ($599) or if tuning is modified, fuel pressure can be increased as well for additional horsepower and torque.
“The PPE Dual Fueler Kit is great for highly modified engines that produce up to 1,200 hp and need that 28,000+ psi,” says Emery. “The PPE Duramaximizer was designed for racing engines with the PPE Dual Fueler Kit. It provides up to an additional 100 hp and 180 ft./lbs. of torque.”
Additional fuel pressure can be dialed into the fuel system beyond what’s requested by the factory powertrain control module. It’s activated only above the 70 percent throttle position that the driver determines. Setting the unit is easily done with just the turn of a knob and can be done on the fly.
The Standard Xcelerator ($599) was designed for those who simply want improved throttle response, transmission shifting characteristics and general overall performance with a Duramax engine. It was designed for 2001 through 2010 Duramax diesels. The Xcelerator provides five power-tuning levels of additional horsepower and torque (40 to 225 hp, depending on model). At the same time, it provides significant increases in fuel mileage.
“The PPE Standard Xcelerator can also make adjustments for larger wheel/tire combos, raise top speed limits, transmission shift points and other benefits,” says Emery. “Down the line, it can be upgraded to the Hot or Hot+2 Xcelerator models.”
Emery suggests the Hot Xcelerator ($899) for the performance minded diesel enthusiast and entry-level racer. It provides a Duramax with up to 300 hp and 460 ft./lbs. of torque with up to 6 levels of tuning. The Hot+2 E.T. Xcelerator ($999) takes the Duramax to the next level with 6 to 10 levels of tuning. Transmission upgrades are recommended for both.
“The Hot Xcelerator is the perfect choice for those who have or are planning to make upgrades to their fuel systems and may add a mid-sized turbocharger,” says Emery. “For everyday driving, all Xcelerator models increase fuel efficiency of your vehicle by 2 to 3 miles per gallon.”
Compound turbo and compound twin turbo packages, high flow exhaust manifolds and more are also available from PPE dealers, on their website or from the catalog.
Just how much can be done with PPE components was displayed in the company’s flagship truck. It features a water/oil-cooled turbocharger, intercooler, Hot+2 Xcelerator, Dual Fueler, Allison 6-speed upgrade kit, hot rod wiring harness and stainless steel exhaust.
“We took a 1970 Chevrolet C10 and cleaned it up nice and pretty and installed a 6.6 Duramax engine into it,” says Emery. “We used a host of hot PPE performance products to give it a cool 700 hp of fun. Fun enough that it ran the 1/4 mile in 10.53 seconds at 132 mph!”
