Love this thread. Honestly would like to get into a diesel f15 one day so bookmarked it. May have to make a similar one for N55 engine’d F15s given the countless threads asking the same questions and my experience with it.
Great job OP.

I have owned both engines and honesty speaking. If mpg is your most concern, I would get the 35d as well. However, after driving 35i, I like the throttle response on this engine more than 35d. I always felt the lag in 35d and lack of horse power compared to 35i even though it has higher torque.

The N57 hasn't seen much for crazy builds yet, but he M57 has plenty out there as far as monster builds. I would love to have a high power build in the 35d but it's just not ideal for a daily. I find the diesel a good balance of working power and economy. I can pull anything I need to pull and still get good economy out of it.

Rod Sutphin transmission tune makes it more responsive and predictable. With no loss of comfort or efficiency. |

Agree. I tuned the trans and the engine on ours, definitely made a significant difference. I used xhp for trans and a euro diesel tune for engine.

If he didn’t hook me up I likely go to the dudmd guys. Fairly close to me and hear great things about them, and think my power gains are similar… and did no other upgrades other than air filter, and need to do ful filter, and still can road trip at 33-35 mpg.

Transmission tune will not solve the lag....this is the character of 35d and a tune wont change the way it drives.
I have driven other diesel cars and most of them if not all had this character |

Are you trolling? we are all on a diesel thread right? Pretty sure we all know the characteristics of a diesel engine, and personally have two gas cars as well so the differences are known to me as well and see pros/cons in either engine choice but ultimately having both is a win-win for me.

D, let me know how the Rod tune works for you, Have had the XHP for a couple of years and been good but my first choice was the Rod tune but to no avail when I purchased. For the 8-speed trans, but heard great thinks for the 6 speed. Curious to see and no issue switching over if the feedback is positive.

I recently bought a stock F15d and after about 60 days decided to try the Sutphin tune.
I am very picky when it comes to smoothness and drivability, and this Sutphin tune is great. It is rare for me to offer such praise. |
