Jason, the good thing about the kit I have is that it is bolt-on. As long as your block says "TD" you don't need to worry about 15 psi and you'll net about 300 hp / 600 ft lbs. Most will want around 190-250 hp, which will run all day like that.
Otherwise, yes an engine swap... That's a HUGE...
Well, you're on the right track. There are only 2 rules and 2 guidelines to making a diesel stronger:
Golden rule #1: More fuel makes more power
Golden rule #2: Better breathing combined with rule #1 makes even more...
Guidelines #'s 1 & 2: Keep EGT's low, Keep backpressure on the turbines low
I can get you a turbo kit we're working on. Bolt on for less than $1000 Add toys like Boost controllers, gauges, ect for my cost.
The current item I'm working on is a $4200 IHI turbo (for the turbo alone..) and I should have that for sale soon for $1800.
Otherwise, you can turn up the fuel on...
They are IHI RCE7 Wastegated with custom compressor wheels. Good luck finding any documentation on a IHI turbo without workignwith the engineers there at IHI for a compressor map. The only public documents I've seen are one mass-rainbow-colored map and a spec sheet that was garbage. They're...
Flange for the manifold is on it's way. I finally talked to the guys - it is "under construction", so that could be a week or so.
Anyhow, 5 of these came in, worth $1200 each, and I'd part with one if you seriously want it without buying an entire kit for $700.00 shipped DHL to your door.
The...
Boy talk about a big box... The ups guy showed up just a few minutes ago, and made me sign for a package without anything else in his hands besides the e-clipboard...
He grumbled, "I'll be right back this is a big one."
I could hear the clank of his hand cart, and a few grunts, as he...
If you're gonna go street only, hit a truck salvage yard and pick up a filter housing there. Wallew has a lline on the proper filter to buy from k&n.
The under hood housings will net a slightly higher intake temp (decreased power levels), but will be a tad quiter because they muffle the intake...
True, but I'm thinking that he probably knows what stink is what stink, and the stock turbo puts out such a low amount of power that you probably won't notice much difference on this motor unless you normally race your rig everywhere. It will drive a bit more "choked" but nothing like a 12.7L...
I should edit this a bit:
I meant to say to test this when the engine is running. Remove the intake and LOOK at the vanes spinning with a flashlight. This is a way to see if the exhaust vanes are at least there and not frozen, or if the darn driveshaft on it isn't broken.
Anything after...
