The 1991.5 thru 1993 Cummins Diesel/Dodge Ram was a 160 hp engine that is air-to-air charge air cooled, the compressor housing has a v-band outlet and a 4” compressor inlet.  

  These trucks are equipped stock with a non-wastegated H1C turbo with the standard 70mm dia (60mm exducer) turbine wheel, a 18cm2 turbine housing, except for the first approximately 70,000 trucks built with air to air charge air cooling that were released with 21cm2 turbine housings. These turbochargers all have a 54mm inducer compressor wheel. Note that there were some 1991 trucks that were not air to air charge air cooled. These upgrades would not apply to those trucks, for upgrade information on those trucks see our 1988-1990 turbo upgrade page.

  On these applications most people want a larger compressor wheel and housing (later years all use larger compressors) and a smaller cm2 turbine housing area (as on later year trucks) for quicker response and more power (especially those equipped with the 21cm2 housings, which are probably the most underpowered trucks the factory released, and those most benefited by a turbine housing upgrade)

   We have two complete new turbos marked with a * that We highly recommend because externally it is identical to the stock turbo and requires no modifications to mount yet upgrades both sides of the turbo for a reasonable price. There is also a turbo marked with a ** that requires moving the downpipe back but are also a great match and will do the same. It all comes down to just picking which size housings you prefer.

   This is a partial list, additional upgrades are available. Check our “All Years” page for additional upgrades available.
