We are very excited about this addition to our high performance product line and the Cummins/Cat/Detroit community should be as well. The Pittsburgh Power is an add on engine computer and does not affect your existing ECM. The factory ECM remains in place and is unaffected by our system. This product has been in the field for over eight years and, in most situations, is more than paying for itself in fuel mileage savings. That is not even mentioning the fun factor. For performance/power fuel mileage specifications please read the FAQ.
Since the release of this upgrade we have
been keeping track of customer satisfaction. Most owner operators are
running on power level two or three, to do their daily driving, and are very
happy using those lower settings. Also, a minimum of a few tenths of a
mile per gallon fuel mileage improvement has been noted for the average owner
operator. Some have actually improved 1 full mile per gallon and
more! At a price of $2395.00 for the Celect Plus,
Note: The early first design Cummins Celect engines, built from 1991-1994, use one of two different boost sensors. When you place your order, we will need to know what style boost sensor your engine is equipped with. The boost sensor is located on the back side of the intake manifold and has a three wire connector attached to it. We need to know if the sensor screws into the manifold or if it is held to the intake by two bolts. See the Cummins installation instructions listed below for a picture of the screw in style sensor. The newer boost sensor and attaching components will have to be purchased in addition to the Pittsburgh Power.
The Pittsburgh Power is also offered as a
budget unit. For a price of $1995.00 you can purchase a Pittsburgh Power
that has no remote control. This helps to cut the cost but you will have
no adjustability of the power. On the N-14,
Below is a description of the Cummins unit:
Power at your fingertips! The Celect engine
was produced from 1991 through 1995. The Celect Plus engine began production in
1996. The performance computer for these engines is called
"Pittsburgh Power." Measuring 9"LX5.75"WX2.225"D
the computer must be mounted inside the cab with the LED readout attached by
Velcro to the top of the instrument panel. The display, measuring
3.75"X2.25"X1", will show turbo boost and exhaust gas
temperature (EGT/pyrometer reading). When the engine reaches 1300 deg. the
computer will cut back on the added horsepower until the EGT drops back to
under 1300. The LED readout has a selection dial with eight positions.
Setting "0" signifies that the computer is turned off while the
others increase horsepower in increments of twenty-five. This boils down to a
maximum increase of 175HP*. For example: an engine rated at 500HP will now be
able to achieve 525 at setting #1, 550 at setting #2 and so on until
setting #7 where it will max out at 675HP*. While driving in snow, heavy
traffic, fog, rain, off highway or if excitement levels become uncomfortable
simply turn the knob back to zero where your engine will once again run at stock
specs. At idle the computer renders the engine back to stock fuel
settings. As pressure is applied to the throttle and the turbocharger
begins to develop boost the computer will turn itself on and begin to add fuel
at ½ LB. of boost. Say goodbye to the turbo lag. Your foot will feel as though
it's connected to a mechanical injector pump. As you push so shall you accelerate. Your driving pleasure will be enhanced with
Pittsburgh Power!! Note: The Caterpillar 3406E is making approximately 10
more HP per power level than the Cummins and
Fuel
Mileage With The
With today’s extremely high fuel prices
please keep in mind when thinking about fuel mileage: This unit is a performance enhancement . Generally, when you improve performance, fuel mileage is also improved.
Fuel mileage can be increased when using this unit if you are an average owner
operator pulling 60-80K lbs. across country. Under these conditions an
average improvement of 3 tenths MPG is very common. Some of our customers
have seen over one MPG improvement in mileage. There are also situations
where there may be no improvement in mileage. These are:
Running
around empty
Pulling very light loads
Running on flat level terrain
Pulling oversize or over weight loads
Running high power levels
Using the
unit to gain enough power to run at excessive speeds.

* Horsepower improvements vary slightly between different engine configurations. Caterpillar is greater.
We have also developed a turbocharger kit for the Caterpillar 3406E, C-15 and 16 engines for our customers that have the Pittsburgh Power performance computer installed on your truck. (Not for ACERT engines) This upgrade will give you more manifold pressure and cooler exhaust gas temperatures. The price for this kit is $2995.00. We are converting the stock Cat turbo over to a Holset turbo with this kit. You must have a Pittsburgh Power computer to use this turbo.

New Products
Mercury filled crankshaft balancers for Cat,
Cummins &
This device fits between your existing crankshaft damper and the crankshaft. It removes rotational vibration caused by out of balance crankshafts and engine internals. This is the next best thing from taking your engine apart and having it professionally balanced by a machine shop. Your engine will run smoother and last longer. This unit is available for Cummins NTC and N-14 engines, Cat 425, 3406E and ACERT, Detroit DD-III and DD-IV engines.
Crankshaft Dampers $235.20-$590.00
Crankshaft dampers absorb the shock and torsional twisting motion of the crankshaft that is generated every time a cylinder fires. This prevents crankshaft breakage and damage to other related engine components. Our crankshaft dampers are quality built to OEM specs. Diesel Injection recommends replacing your crank damper every 500 thousand miles to prevent crank breakage and other problems cause by deteriorating damper function.
Oil Trap (engine blo-by tube oil containing system) $220.00
This is a canister that mounts on the oil pan rail and catches the oil that is sprayed out of your road breather tube that comes from the crankcase. It eliminates the oil film and drips that are caused by the normal breathing of your engine. The unit is 12” long and 4” in diameter and has a drain on the bottom.
Turbo Blanket (price varies)
Wrap the exhaust housing of your turbo to ensure all the heat is driving it and not dissipating into your engine compartment. This helps to spool the turbo faster and increases manifold pressure. It also reduces under hood temperatures. This works best on non wastegated turbochargers.
Coated, Ported and Polished Exhaust Manifolds $969.00-1550.00
Would you like to gain another ¼ mile per gallon of fuel mileage? Remember, a ¼ mpg improvement saves you 1186 gallons over 150,000 miles of driving. At $4.00 per gallon, that's $4,753.00 savings to you each year. This figure is based on a truck getting 5.5 mpg and improving it to 5.75 mpg. Along with the ¼ mpg, the exhaust temperature will run slightly cooler and the exhaust manifold will not burn out as quickly. To really put the icing on the cake, it looks great!! What we are talking about here is a ported exhaust manifold that has been flow-tested before and after eight hours of grinding has been done on the inside of the manifold. The ports are not enlarged, just reshaped and the rough edges are removed. When an increase of 110 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) is obtained, the engine will gain ¼ mpg. The average improvement to each manifold is 120 to 160 CFM. Once the porting and machining of the gasket surfaces is completed, the exhaust manifolds are then Jet-Hot coated to withstand temperatures of 1600 degrees. These manifolds look like they are chrome-plated when completed. The Jet-Hot coating on the inside of the manifold reduces friction, keeps the heat out of the cast iron, and allows more of the exhaust heat to travel to the turbo. Because of the greater flow, the engine breathes better and the truck will run more freely. The Jet-Hot coating on the outside of the exhaust manifold reduces corrosion and also helps to keep the heat inside the manifold and helps to make the turbocharger more efficient. Remember: Heat is energy and by not absorbing it in the cast iron, the manifold will live longer, the turbo will spin quicker, and the engine will breathe better. Plus, the Jet-Hot coating looks great! These manifolds are exchanged and a good core is necessary for trade-in. Most exhaust manifolds, especially on Cats and Detroits, will have cracks in the center section, so a new center manifold section may have to be purchased. I forgot to mention that an improvement of 25 to 35 horsepower will be realized, which means you should gain ½ gear on the hills.
