Bypassed FDC Well I finally did it, drove it, watched EGTs. I must say what a difference, it's a totally different truck. It gets up and goes now. I will however say I deffinatly have to keep my eyes on the exhaust temp though. I can easily get it over 1200 degrees with ease. I turned the fuel...

I know with my little cummins motors that a different turbo can play a role in EGT temps. We swaped turbos on our "500"hp E9 Mack at work and it alone dropped Egts and water temp as well as gaining boost with out changing any fuel rate. Didn't know if a turbo from a later model multifuel has...

I gues I can always hook it back up if I can't keep heat down. So if you think I can make it work I may have to try. I will however get boost guage in first and see how she does then bypass and compare vitals. Thanks

I drilled and taped the pyro pre turbo on rear manifold set, Its functional. I wanted to see what she does before I mess with fuel screw or FDC to much. Normal acceleration and shifting it goes up to 950 degrees and would peak around 1040ish when id hold my foot in it for awhile. I then Went to...

You bet did it last nigt. Went smooth. Thanks!!

All our quads and heavy haulers at work are post turbo and recommend to not exceed 1100 degrees. I have two post turbo cummins pyros. But wasnt sure the best location on the multifuels. Ive also read and heard people drilling a running motor manifold and greasing the tap. Just haven't tried it...

Went for a trip yesterday to watch mud bog. Truck ran really nice and would get up to cruising speed nicely. I kept fuel psi guage in for trip to make sure there was nothing wrong elsewhere. I'm hoping today to intall pyro and bypass FDC and go for another trip. Compare the diference

Hey you two, here's more of the situation that I'm dealing with. I installed the new pump today. Plug is a little different style than the original but works. I was able to use the oil psi guage and have around 5psi with switch on, 35 psi at low idle, and 70-75 at high idle. Seems to rev up...

THANKYOU. Ya I'm going to have buy a tech manual for the engine. Thats my biggest road block, for now you good ol boys do very good at informing me!! Keep it comin!

I agree with your edit. I don't have a tech manual to know what pressures are suppose to be when and where on these multifuels. I greatly apprieciated yours and everybody's help and inputs. Even the greatest mechanics need help once in awhile ;). My knowledge on these systems is growing...

I'm just unsure if I want the mount a fuel psi guage perminately. I'm trying to find a clean looking place for it if I decide to. It's not like the Local parts stores have a pillar guage set for a m35 cab.

im fine with gaining power as long as I can still haul a full load of firewood and not have to baby the right foot so I don't build to much heat. I've done my fair share of gen 1 and gen 2 Cummins pump upgrades but also know what they can handle. This multifuel is fun and reliable as is but more...

Ok....I'm all for preventative maintenance.

I'm not trying to get ahead of myself or change topic to much here but should I concider bypassing the FDC? I'm installing boost and pyro this week. Is it a good idea to just do or?? What are the pros and cons of bypassing it? I do just go for a Sunday drive once in awhile but I basically use...
