This is our new Standalone VNT Turbo Controller running a 64mm/71mm Cheetah on an '05 CR Cummins. It's making 48 psi and spoolup is instantaneous. It includes the braking features as well.

The good news.. It will work on an LB7 to allow those engines to run a VNT Cheetah turbo!

Thanks,

Brayden

Thats a cool product Brayden alot of guys have been waiting a long time for this ! It would be great for guys towing and such , i guess it would allow them to have the turbo break features too :D

Yep!

Thanks Trent.

so will LB7 guys need EFI to run it? we can just run the lly cheetahs now?

Would this work on trucks already with vvts and you wanted to add a second bigger vvt?:D

Hehe. "Can't be goin' a 100 by here."

Completely bolt on.. No need for EFILive.

You got a PM dude.,,

Nevermind saw your post on duramaxdiesels


Yes it would.. assuming the second VNT is oil controlled.

Hehe. "Can't be goin' a 100 by here."



Hehe... I wondered how long it would take for somebody to catch that. I figured he would've slowed a bit but he was going to keep on pulling 6th gear out and that tops out over 120.

Was that on the stretch of road by the shop?

Yeah :)

There will be a whole heard of LB7 guys grinning over this one :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I hope they like it!.. I've tried setting a VNT turbo down into an LB7 before and it interferes in a few places but nothing that can't be overcome. I'll post pics tomorrow morning.

Brayden you have seriously made a lot of LB7 guys extremely happy(including me) Like you weren't busy enough huh?

This is BS I don't all the other trucks to be able to make the cool jet sound. The LB7s ok but you just had to bring the cumapart guys into this?????


Way to go Brayden that is bad ass I was hoping this wouldn't get dropped because of EFI.

Why would it get dropped because of EFI?

I'm lost too on the EFI thing..but thanks!

Back in the beginning several guys where trying to get EFI to give us live controls over the VVT too. Maybe I remember wrong never mind

The LB7's didn't have the VNT capability anyways..

A huge VNT would be PERFECT on my 12v Cummins drag truck!!!!!!!! Cant it work?

Haha you guys think it sounds cool, you should ride in it. Now because of my big fat mouth Im behind the power curve in the ole cottage, now Im the one playin catchup with the roommate. No serious this truck is rediculous, It makes boost instantly, and I mean Instantly, and when the vanes are closed down keepin it lite it holds boost even through shifts, with almost "0" lag.

And yes it will work on the ole 12v, It is completely standalone, so you could put it on your lawn mower and put the Dixie Chopper to shame, I donno im just sayin.

Hmm. A VNT charger on my Toro Z master....Hey Brayden, maybe you could ship two to me Monday?:D

Well I need a price PM'd, I seriously need to look into this. I have more than enough HP in my old VE cummins to run 12's but keeping the turbo lit between shifts is going to be hard. I plan on being the first VE powered cummins with a getrag to run 12's, and this wouls certianly help.

Holy awesome! I have been waiting to see something like this come out

Sorry guys I am a little new to the game, but I can buy this and it can tune my stock turbo and I can get more whistle etc..??

No you can buy a variable turbo like on lly lbz lmm and put it on any other diesel and have the vanes now work with the standalone controller. Plus it can be used as an exhaust brake.

whats the price on this unit?

how does this work just a 12 volt power source that you adjust the power source

Brayden is still working on putting the final touches on the kit to be sold, I dont think he has a set price set as of right now, you can PM him or contact Fleece Performance via the contact info on the website. But bear in mind this thing has drummed up alot more interest than I think anyone anticipated, My roommate got a call today from a guy in the north west wanting to talk about this setup on his truck, so like all the cool things these guys have put out, were just going to have to be patient and see what comes next.

Mine ships tomorrow with an LBZ Cheetah:D Can't wait to see the diff between this and my LB7 Cheetah. Oooh baby Christmas is comin' early!

thats the one i want an lbz cheetah ha it would come early for me to

Hehe... I wondered how long it would take for somebody to catch that. I figured he would've slowed a bit but he was going to keep on pulling 6th gear out and that tops out over 120.

You were shooting the video Brayden lol, you gave no instructions. haha I didn't know how much you wanted.

Yes it does top out at over 120, we made 105 right there by the shop, my mistake just warn me next time haha :HiHi:

That guy had a hard time understand that it was a DURAMAX turbo and DURAMAX controller.

It's actually for anything.. dodge or duramax, ford, fiat, briggs & stratton ;)

I give, you guys pretty much will find a way with just about anything Brayden.

I tap out :)

I will have to get a divorce to be able to buy all these freakin' toys he keeps coming up with! They just don't understand!

LOL See I told you guys you could put it on a Dixie Chopper. Brayden lets try it, Ill donate one:D

If we get a group together and challenge him enough, I bet we could get him to muster up the motivation to get it done.

I'll 2nd the Dixie Chopper :whip: hahahaha

Brayden, i think we need one of these on the Big Black Dudge ... :D

Lets show them how this puppies tow ... :cool:

I keep looking at the video. Man that thing sounds sweet! Anyone else here going with a VNT on their LB7?

Brayden, i think we need one of these on the Big Black Dudge ... :D

Drop it off.. I've got everything at the shop except a downpipe to make it work! I want to see how it will work on the auto truck as well!

I stilll think this needs to be done to the wifes 01, After we get moved in to the new house I will have to call you

I guess I don't quite understand how this works. Is there a base boost curve programmed into the unit and the dial just adds a percentage throughout the curve? Say turn the dial 10* and that adds 15* of vane position. I am curious as to how it works. I am not nocking it at all. I just don't see how one unit can work for infinit different motor combinations. Just like a little more info

You're close..

There is a base map that is adjustable via software. That can be tailored to your engine setup and turbo size. It will control the turbo based off that map and the inputs to the controller. When you want more boost you can dial in more vane position, or cut some boost out of it at cruising situations by dialing it down.

Hope that helps.

Brayden

Give me a shout :) Ask Tom for a ride in his LLY.. Absolutely wicked... Hope she holds up until the big motor is done.

Any pics of the in cab contoller?

any updates on this kit yet?

Mine should be here any day now. The wait is killing me!

I really want to do this swap now! Been following all the threads on this and still can't figure out what other parts I need besides the turbo,and new down pipe. Brayden, what other parts should I be collecting for this swap? If you can supply me with everything needed then I don't have to worry. Now the I need find the $$$ for this! Can't wait to see your results duramaxdiesel.

When I talked to Brayden he said all I needed was the down pipe. He's going to take the front cover from my LB7 Cheetah and put it on the LBZ VVT so that I can keep my aFe Stage II for now. I am bouncing off the walls waiting for the turbo to arrive. I can't wait! Man, I can't wait!! Results will be posted right as soon as it's installed.

Nick

That's awesome Nick. Thats going the nice using the afe you already have. So the pedestal is the same then? Or is it the same because you already have cheetah? I'm freakin excited for you man! You might push me over the edge buddy and make me
break down get on the phone! Make sure you have a camera on hand and even better is a video camera. . .hint hint.

Talked to Jeff at FPE today and there was a little delay but it was shipped out today. Can't wait!
Yeah it's really cool that I don't have to buy a new air intake. There is no pedestal that needs to be bought. From what I know the LBZ Cheetah should bolt right up in place of the old IHI. I could be wrong but all I bought to do the swap was a Diamond Eye down pipe.
For the price, it's really not too bad if you think about what you get. AlliLock, turbobrake, VNT controller and Cheetah turbo. Hope you get one too. Maybe seeing her start up for the first time with that whistle will push you over the edge :D

Nick

Yeah Nick seeing it start up and hearing that whistle is going to do it. I know that already. If it just bolts up, that is going to be great upgrade for us LB7 guys. Now the wait is going to kill ya isn't it! Any other LB7 guys waiting for their turbo and controller to show up?

Sounds cool, I'd do it for $400, but $800 is to much

I think it's a pretty good deal for what you're getting but I'm a little biased :)

I think it's a pretty good deal for what you're getting but I'm a little biased :)


lol

I guess im of the opinion of selling 100s for a small profit rather then a dozen for a moderate profit.

It's a pretty specialized product. I don't think the market is there for selling hundreds, but I'd like that!

Too much??! Have you priced a Banks Speed Brake and ATS Co-Pilot? ? $895 is VERY reasonable IMO.

im seriously considering this, as long as i can find a used lbz turbo for cheap.

Brayden do you have a complete parts swap list for us LB7 guys?

You want to put a stock LBZ in place of the IHI?

i want a little extra umph, my current truck isnt worth building the engine with 325 xxx km and i want to be different. Isnt the lbz turbo bigger than an IHI?

EDIT: and i might be able to get a stock (used) turbo dirt cheap from my dealership.

Yeah I hear ya. I'm pushing 450000km. No that's not a typo lol. I believe the LBZ charger is bigger.

my truck saw 263000km of pure bush beating before i got it, so its only a matter of time before somethings gonna go pop. gonna ask my dealership tomorrow about getting a turbo

cant wait to put my order in...anyone get the 71.5mm VNT cheetah yet?

Turbo just arrived at the border!!!:D:D On the way to pick it up and going to install asap!
Talking to Brayden he said that I shouldn't see a difference between my 71.5 LB7 Cheetah and the 68 LBZ VVT Cheetah. The tuning that Brayden did to my truck is incredible. Also having 40% injectors helps some. Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! Should be up and running by the beginning of next week.

Nick

please post some video I need to hear this on an lb7.

Will do. As soon as it's installed I'll load video onto Youtube.

any luck gettin it on yet?

Not yet. Tuesday is the day that it should all come together. In having the guys work late this Monday Tuesday and Wednesday so that I can have the rest of the week to test and tune. The minute the turbo is installed I'll post video of it.

Nick

cant wait to see it!

You and me both. I keep watching Jneal's truck on Youtube everyday and drool...

Lol....

I bet when that vvt lb7 video goes up this thread is going to EXPLODE. I remember the old lb7 cheetah thread.....ohh boy :D

Too bad Brayden doesn't need any beta testers.... :(

any luck with a video with this on lb7 yet?

Yeah I posted a link to the video on Youtube the day I got the truck back. I'll dig up the link and post it.

Nick

How are you liking the turbo so far as opposed to your old bigger non vvt charger?

we need a vid on this

I'll second that...can't wait for the vid

Hey Brayden in the diesel power magazine they said the #1 thing they wanted for 2010 on theyre wishlist is a to use VGT's on vehicles they don't already come on... maybe you should contact them, I guess they don't know how to use a computer to find new parts, go figure.

Or at least check youtube.... LOL

The varible on a 5.9

LMM unit....?

Yeah they know about it.. Article(s) in the works :)

Something for the LMM soon?

Lmm already has a vvt... It doesn't need a controller, all done by the ecm.

MMm... maybe I'm missing something here, but I thought a controller would allow better braking control for one....And Brayden says there will be something for the LMM in the future. All I'm after is better grade braking for the fiver, and thought I'd look at this option.
The 02' with exhaust brake was far better down the steep stuff.

IIRC EFI Live has exhaust brake capabilities in the LMM already... maybe you could contact JK since he tuned your truck and see what he can do for ya? Maybe you could just buy the EFI part and a DSP switch and have him setup the tunes or give you a hand...

That way with the DSP you could have a designated "tow" tune that has exhaust braking built in and then some other tunes of your choice.

Just my $0.02 :D

That would work alright. I guess with the 02' I got used to being able to have the brake on or off with the switch, and I also ran a larger switch with an in cab controller so I could crank it down more when needed. In other words having adjustability on the fly would be nice. The Banks unit looks nice, but it is kind of set it and forget it....and expensive.
