A Maxidyne engine will hold on right down to 800 rpms Its not the best thing for em but they generate good power even below 1000 rpm!

It is real amazing! Huge power band As for the R never seen one sorry! Might be as stated Restricted upper rpm duno!

The conventional Maxidyne has a power band from 1200 to 2100 RPM. With an R suffix the governor is set for around 1800 RPM, reducing the power band to 1200 to around 1800 RPM. Their was also an L suffix version of the six cylinder Maxidynes that shifted the power band down to around 1000 to 1800 RPM.

So if we turn 400R up to 2100rpm's would it bring its whole 500?

 

And who is fjh? Bob Dingsdale??

So why wouldn't they just make them all lower rpm higher hp assuming the high rpm doesn't/can't make 400hp @1700?

Higher power band is for OTR I would think.

To get the power band up is the governor and I  believe advancing the cam to crank timing, You still have 400 h.p. but at 300 RPM higher.   Paul

Just a review, but, is there any R-E-A-L hard differences other than pump, injectors, timing, and turbo between an '82 EM9-400R or say a '93 CL E9-500?

 

I've heard time and time again there is no difference between a 237 and a 350 two valve.... other than pump, injectors, etc...

 

 

Oh, and one more thing.... what about EM'C'9-400R

Fun is what they fine you for!

My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers.
