    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    That might not get people to help you.

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Turbo big block is pretty fly. Should be the best of both worlds. Those that do it seem to have EGT's in the basement, I'm guessing because they have not upped the fueling rate? One would presume you can go a lot more fuel than where you are at now (lower button #?)? Nice job, regardless...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Understood. Looks like you could up the fuel even more then if you wanted?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Does the stock Cummins 250 PT pump has a provision to add fuel under boost? I would guess not, and you are just pouring more fuel in?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Nice tune. EGT actually seems a pinch cool?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Spot on. Found it. Looks like maybe try a historical way or apply as a business with less than 3 trucks, or keep it registered out of state, or...? https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/onrdiesel.htm So, about that 250 turbo power up....

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    It will pass the laws of the emission generation it was manufactured. In my case, it will be a 2005 engine, in a 1990 truck. But, I think emission laws are based off the vehicle mfg date, and not the engine? Interesting case though. If for some reason your area requires a sniffer test, then...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Because I am waiting for a clutch for it. HA! Secured trans when it became available. Plan was always to install it once the MT654CR goes south. New engine may shorten it's time remaining. Engine will go in even though 6CTA8.3 is alive and well, but I gave the seller a lot of time to pull...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Swap out the old dinosaur engine with something more modern. It can be done cheaper than you think. I am doing it to my M925a2. I just bought a 24 valve common rail Cummins ISL motorhome engine for a song, much less than what people here spend trying to hop theirs up and then battle smoke and...

    Pop-Rocks in the fuel tank provides for some good entertainment. Love the You Tube commenter that said "That was knarly, do it again!".

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    That's good enough reason right there! Anything with a spooling turbo sounds like it is going to rip the guts out of whatever it is hooked to. 300F is a fabulous drop, that sounds like in increase in reliability to me... It will help to prevent this (advance to 2:03 for the fabulously funny...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Yes, I'm 2 pages late. It is natural to want more and proceed that path. Keep in mind these trucks were designed and built via lowest bid contract to meet specific performance requirements, which they did. They were not built with the intent to be personally appealing as race cars after their...
