I am considering purchasing a 6.9L out of a wrecking yard and overhualing it to run in my Scout for offoroad and daily driver. I will probably run a t-19 with 33 " tires and 3.96:1 gears or close adn cruise around 65 mph. I would like to put on a turbo charger and intercooler off of a 7.3L or a cummins along wigh free flowing dual exaust around 2.5" diameter. I am aiming for atleast 450 ft/lbs from 1000 rpm and be not less than 450 ft/lbs at 3300 rpm. I would hope I could get atleast 13 mpg mix driving and 15 mph highway. Do I need larger injecters to run boost? I am on a budget $1200 max into the motor, I will do all work my self and I am ready to learn to do this stuff. I do not suppose I could get over 500 ft/lbs?
Would I be better off just buying a used cummins turbo?
Also I do not want to mess with alot of sensors and computers if some of thes motors have a lot more than others.
thanks...
