What you guys think about this setup? I have a minimax and love it but a friend of mine just bought a low mileage 2010 6.4 and wants to delete it. This looks like a good price, has gauges and provides 70 extra hp. He doesn't want to adjust tranny and doesn't need much more power. Thanks,

For a 6.4 or 6.7?

 

Well suppose to be for 6.4 but I see I put in wrong forum. Can it be moved? Sorry think this 4th margarita is working on me. Lol

 

Everyone that I know of likes the DPF R setup. Low cost.


Good alternative if you are not going to run big HP.


Still need gauges though.

 

Senix, I went to their website that shows a controller with the package. Electron might be the name. Would this not act as the controller? Say like the h&s minimax or Spartan dashdaq?

Thanks

 

I haven't been to the website in sometime. That looks like it would do the trick

 

Moved to the 6.4L forum.

 

I think so too. I just hate to see him spend 2K on H&S Minimax when he really just wants a dpf delete, erg disable, little extra HP and plus no need to tune transmission. Also, I mentioned to him one thing I don't like about H&S is that on their trans running (not sure what you call it?) they allow the transmission to come out of gear under 50mph or so. Then when you apply fuel again it re-engages. This drives me crazy on curvy side roads so I end up using tow mode to stop it. I have no idea why they do this in the first place as I see no advantage.????

 

I agree on all counts.


For the H and S maybe they have a TCM that you could replace yours with that will give better lockup of the tranny?

 

To be the odd man out.... who is Electron or who is behind the program?

 

Best I can tell it's just a monitoring device like Spartans dashdaq etc. probably lower end but has similar functions. Over all decent price for programmer, monitor and dpf delete pipe.

 

So how long would it take to swap out this stuff? I'm lucky enough to live in the front range so I have to pay every year for emissions tests.

 

I'm looking into this tuner as well as I can't justify the minimax. Look forward to hearing some reviews!!

You might be better off with a Banks 6 gun that maintains the DPF and is CARB certified so nothing has to be removed. It is a plug and play inline with the PCM.

 

The hardest part of the exhaust delete was the joint where the DPF meets the muffler and tail pipe. Unbolt the hangers from the frame rail instead of trying to get the pipes off of the hangers. Leave the stock sensors in the pipes and use new sensors in the delete pipes (I used pipes with Bungs). I used an air chisel to slit the external pipe to help loosen from stock pipes. That way you can change over the exhaust for emissions testing in a couple of hours. It is easier as a two man job though.
