I would see if you can get it a bit cheaper actually. I got mine for $4k with 249k on it 4 years ago. Now it has 330k miles and still runs like a champ and still hits the drag strip here and there.
Swamps, Casserly, Jim Rose(diy-injectors), and Nate @ unlimited all build some very good injectors.
i have had 2 sets from Jim. i upgraded to stage 1's the first time(160cc w/ stock nozzles) and i liked them a lot. were good for 352hp/731tq w/ the stock turbo. then i upgraded from those to...
talk to Jim @ diy-injectors.com. i have run 2 sets of injectors and loved both of them. both sets we bought the kit and built ourselves to save on money, but he does build and ship injectors as well. Jim is AWESOME!!! :hail
everything looks good on your list, but i'm not sure i'd pay the $$$...
when i priced a p-pump swap for mine it was going to cost me around $11k for everything IIRC. the pumps most are using are an inline 8 cylinder pump off one of the big IH engines. injectors are usually from an 8.1?? cummins and they use adapters in the injector ports to make them work. problem...
glad to hear you got your fixed up!!! i got mine fixed as well but not as cheap as you did. mine actually turned out to be injectors. mine was bleeding off HPO from the poppets in the injectors. haha
yes the o-rings can be reused. i actually have dyno proof that bigger injectors on the stock turbo don't do you any good, but they actually hurt you more. i did 352hp and 731tq on the dyno early this year. my buddy's OBS on the same day and same dyno with hybrids and stock turbo and basically...
hey guys. i'm about to get the truck repainted. it has needed a new outter bed skin and both front fenders for awhile. paint isn't horrible on the truck but i figure paint this old will be very hard to match the colors up so all paint and body work is on the list.
The truck is Oxford White...
my 4" 45* elbow is pure stainless. i can't say where it came from b/c i don't know where it came from b/c i got it from a buddy of mine. i of course painted it now. here are 2 pics. i gotta get some more constant torque clamps for the intake.. haha.
yep, that truck is a GREAT LOOKING TRUCK!!!!!!!!! i love that color. i wish mine was that color... you just made me jealous b/c your truck is blue... BUT it needs different wheels.... hahaha.
2 years ago at our annual dyno even we did a test on synthetic vs. conventional oil on the dyno. ran once with clean Delo. stopped, changed the oil to royal purple synthetic. dyno'd again. picked up 13hp just off changing the oil to synthetic. if i knew my engine wouldn't just leak synthetic out...
i have seen them done in the truck many times. it is possible and don't take 9 hours either. takes a few hours and nothing goes back in weak either. start out by cutting the crossmember enough to be able to get the pan out(NO THE ENGINE WILL NOT MOVE!!!!). do all your work on the pan then when...
being as the d66 has the stock center section in it i don't believe this turbo to be much more reliable than stock. the h2e setup can be had with or without the intercooler setup. they make pipes for the cooler or a bypass for non intercooled setups. i would go the h2e route. you can get the kit...
