Turned up the injection pump this morning.....

[Punisher666]

Finally got the pump turned up a couple of turns and holy dog S**t did it make a difference. A hill i had to grab 4th and hammer down now will run 5th at 55mph. I dont think screwing something ever gave me a better outcome than this ever before. She rolls coal on demand and runs like a raped ape. Smokes a lil blueish gray due to 50% UMO but **** who doesnt like to piss off the eco friendly s**t bags in the Prius when we hit the loud pedal right? Thats part of the fun in owning one of these. Pics coming soon of me smoking out the block i live on.

A "couple turns" enjoy that fast engine as long as you can. Hope you meant a couple flats(of the nut).

Turned up too much you will be sorry.

 

[FireFighterHill]

Get a pyrometer ASAP. If your not careful with exhaust temps you will melt a cylinder.

I'm known to run an occasional engine on the fringe of self destruction myself. I do have the advantage of having numerous canned replacement engines and a gaggle of new pistons and holes.

What he said

I'm sure I'll be wanting to turn my fuel up too once I get a deuce, but I'm def going to make sure I have a pyro gauge first so I dont wreck anything

oh and video or it didnt happen lol

 

[kennys@wi.rr.com]

Don't suppose you took any pics while doing it?

 

[jimh1985]

Turned mine up last week.. I just stopped when it got to 10PSI boost at 100% 2300 rpm.
Seems to be alright made one **** of a difference. Its also extra loud lol. No black smoke over 2000 rpm, only on the low end.

Please post pics of the coming blown engine.

 

[davidkroberts]

wow a couple of turns?

you know we call these motors "come aparts" and "self disassembling" for a reason.

military vehicles arent known for having tons of power on the high end and you have one that pulls hills in overdrive?..... at 55 mph no less. This probably isnt a good idea but its your truck. Your going to get real good at replacing multifuels in the future.

Phil looked at mine and said the screw still has the safety wire or whatever on it. Truck always starts and gets me there and back. Fuel seems fine just the way the gov had it.

When I wanna feel a diesel pull hard and go quick I put my foot in my 2008 Duramax. Let 'er blow - it's under warrenty.

Deuce is fine at 50-55ish. (down hill)

If you want speed just bob it to lose some weight, throw in some propane injection... I'm sure the motor can handle it lol jk

 

[mikeroot2]

If you want speed drop it from a plane. It'll go really fast and the end result will be about the same as too much fuel.

me too

Put in a boost gauge and turned the pump back down, pyrometer goes in tomorrow ran out of light today. Figured the boost is way to high so had to tone it down some. One short 20 PSI run was fun making clouds but back to a managable 10-12 PSI tommorow. Sorry no pics but will take some tommorow when backing down the fuel.

 

[goldneagle]

Well at least he listens to good advise!

 

[mechanix]

I got a boost and pyro installed in my 70 Kaiser M35a2 and went and flogged it. Managed a high of 950 on the pyro and 9psi on the boost. I figure I have some room to turn it up a little. I just want a little bit more power. Not too much.

 

[92RT-TT]

where did you put the pyro sensor? That will also be a determiner as to what it reads...
