Just curious if anyone knows how high the torque and horsies can be turned up to safely on a 2014 model with 16913A tranny.
Currently have it at 1850 and 530 but still isnt cutting the mustard. Thanks in advance

Factory tuning cannot go any higher. Aftermarket can but not the place to discuss it.
When they first brought the engine to NA and were doing testing on it they had one at 900hp on the dyno for quite a while. Not a legal emission tune however.KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Im curious as to if anyone has went near 650 hp maybe and would it last at that. And Id like to go 2050 on tranny but only the top half if thats possible

What issues are you having that 530 is not enough piss in it's pistons? Gearing in the rears or gearbox may be a better way to go. Do you buy it used? The previous owner may had a different use for it.

Once again why do you think you need more power?
Do you plan on racing up Pikes peak?
If you are heavy haul you have to tall of gears or you need a different engine?
Do you know how to rebuild the engine when it blows apart, or do you have tons of money stashed to buy a new engine? -
There is a Dutch tuning company that can tune the previous 510 HP Euro VI engine to 616 HP, and increase the torque from 2500Nm to 2804 Nm. They also give a 5 year warranty on the engine. However, so far I have not found a tuner that has anything for the present 530 HP Euro VI engine.fargonaz and Oldironfan Thank this.
