Walkyrie_Engineering Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just doing a little research here, was kicking around an idea, we purchased our truck and it happened to be deleted, and as I understand it the cost to Un deleted it can get pretty expensive. But allegedly the fmcsa came out with a clarification that the emissions are based off the engine year, and if I could obtain a pre emissions MP10 for a similar amount of money that it would cost to replace the emissions system to make it legal why wouldn't I go for the option to get a little more HP out of my truck, and then perhaps be able to drop the extra weight and gain more frame space for more important knickknacks that the def tank and scr filter and such take up. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I love the idea, have you been able to source a pre emission mp10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx610 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Im not sure if there was a pre emission mp10 unlike the 7. I think it was 08 when it came out and I’m not sure if there was one that just had the nox sensor and egr like some of the early 2007 mp7s had.

Mackpro Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I believe the Volvo D16 came out in 2006 with EGR only and only in the VT880. Having worked on a few MP10’s , the engine is massive and is physically much larger than a MP8. Plus the radiator is huge. I’d think it’s next to impossible to cram it in a CHU. Now get a CL with a bad engine and put the CHU cab on it and then paint the D16 red and slap some Mack stickers on it and you might be in business however getting the Mack Vecu to talk to the Volvo engine ecm would be a miracle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree you would need a few good skill sets to pull off that miracle From Engineering to programing as well as pull your welding and mechanical shit out of the case if your up to the challange!

I haven't been able to see one up close in person, I figured they would be bigger but I didn't realize they were that much bigger. I had seen some videos of a guy with what appears to be a newer pinnacle 64t that had fit one in but he drag races it so I suppose he probably did a lot of work to fit it in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I think you'd need external air cleaners for room under the hood. But for what it'd cost to do injectors on an mp10, you could redo all your emissions. Go with an aftermarket one box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 If you can figure out how to make that swap then let Volvo know for they don't seem to be able to figure it out. Or IMHO they don't want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
