Besides switching to a P7100 pump, that's probably about it for the stock 8.3L. You could switch to a newer 24v 8.3 and convert it over to mechanical injection (been done on YouTube), but at that point if changing engines just go with something stout like an ISX, Series 60, etc....
Our engines are equipped with piston cooling nozzles already.
Need to advance ignition timing, it supposedly brings EGT way down, and makes sense if you think about it. The marine 480 injectors will make power but will likely be hot EGT and smokey as their spray angle is not optimal for...
He needs the entire injector(s) to be able to dial in the (increased) pop-off pressure across all of them. Not just the nozzles. Your injectors will be seized in their seats. Start soaking them with penetrant as soon as you get off the plane. You may need a puller that threads onto the fuel...
Will be awesome. After 5th gear, I'll be completely lost, and like hmmmmm, what does this lever do? At the same time, going like 25mph on the freeway and watching some old dude on my phone YouTube row through 13 speeds on a non-synchro tranny with a square hanging out of his mouth, never...
May be picking up a donor 923 roller and an 8v92ta to go with it. Wolf in sheep clothing. If transfer case won't live, then we'll just dump 2 lockers in the rear and extend the prop shaft.
10-4 to all. Trying to keep the 8.3 for its RPM range. Any other engine would require a trans change for durability and to take advantage of the lower RPM range of those engines. The sound of a 2 stroke DD says "Satan is coming", just like on Maxium Overdrive. Ha ha ha!
I would have no problem stabbing a P pump in mine if the benefits were there. But, if the stock MW can take it as far as 400hp, that is probably enough. Next step would be 8V92TA, 14L 515hp series 60, or 500hp Cummins isx.
Very exciting! Can we reach further by swapping over to a P pump? Also, could you at least attempt to quantify performance gains? For example, a simple timed 0-40mph run for each iteration. Stock injectors/stock pump settings, stock injectors/increased injection pump metering, then ...
