Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Going back to larger injectors

[proflow]

OK folks, I swapped out my DD3's for a new set of Mach1. 6 for towing/egt reasons.

To hell w/towing , I want my power back.

I drive my truck at least 5 days a week & tow once every two months.

It's time to put some bigger sticks back in it.

I'm thinking in the 200-250 hp range. Nothing less.

When EGTs go up, I guess I'll have to twin it, bummer

So who has the best injector out there now a days bang for the buck ?

I dont want some mismatched piece of crap running like *** in my truck, yet dont really need my *** hurting for no reason either.

Anyone needing or interested to swap hot injectors for a good set of low mi. Mach 1. 6's w/origional box ?

Reason I bring this to the top is I know alot has changed in the injector world last few yrs.



Thanks in advance----Proflow

I feel for you! I run 240's in the '01 and can tow anything I would like, but then again it's a stick and twinned...

I don't think I would dare run such injectors in my auto, even with twins; I think it would be way too hot. Why not settle for a good set of 150's or something?

Can't help you with who's best these days as I have had mine for a while now, and they are Mach injectors anyway...

My truck has 410's & rolls on 37" tires, so 3rd @ 65 is right around 2200-2500.

I just miss the power !!!

I really didnt see a huge drop in the DD3 to Mach 1. 6 on power, but to go back the other way I'd go bigger than 3's.

I'm also considering swapping out my modded hX-40 for possibly a S400 or something of that nature.

To be truthfull, I dont have the cash for twins right now, but plenty to trade if someones pulling a good set off !



Keep it coming ----Proflow

Got a trade on a set of Mach5's.

Just need to have them cleaned.

Dr. Injector recomended Seattle Injector, I'll call them tomorrow for cleaning & pop test. Anyone have an idea of cost of this service?

Last time I had injectors cleaned and pop tested it was a little under $100 for the set.

Thanks again Mishkaya

Amen Joe! Great shop and service.

Good luck with the Mach 5's... wow. I run Mach 4's in my truck and it gets fairly toasty real easy.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Proflow did you get the Mach 5s in yet?

all of the mach's I have had I sent to Don and they were done free. just paid shipping. might want to check that out

 

[proflow]

Sorry for such a late reply

Well I'm finally going to have my hands on these by the end of the week.

The truck they are in is being traded in & I just bought a set of H. O. sticks from fley bay for 130. 00 shipped.

My buddy wants 150 for the swap, so I'll be in them 280. 00

I do know they still need to be cleaned.

So if I send them out to Don I may get this done for free ? That would be awesome ! Possibly pop test them to maybe ?



OK, so how do I get a hold of Don so I can talk w/him about these ?



Also, for towing, my guess would be Edge box on 1-1 & smarty on fuel saver ?



Anyones thoughts on all this ?



Thanks---Proflow

In general, you do NOT want to tow on fuel saver because it advances the timing a lot! If you also add in the timing of the Edge, I think you will have too much timing.



I have Jammer 4 injectors, 125hp, Edge, and Smarty. For towing I dont use the Edge at all. It makes the cruise not usuable, smokes a lot more, and doesn't seem to help mileage at all. I have been running the Smarty on SW#5 with the Torque at 5, timing at 3, and duration at 2 I think to keep the smoke down. Runs pretty well like this and pulls hard. This is for towing pretty heavy FYI. Good luck!

Soon to come !

OK, so the cleaning went well & should have the injectors back this week ! Sweet ! Thanks Don !!! Mach 5's !!! Mach 5's!!! YEH !!!

I just found on Craigs List a brand new ATS Arc-Flow intake & put that on.

Results are a small decrease in EGT when climbing Mt. Pass empty so far.



I Been doing some money/parts swapping w/Shane @ Performance Diesel Warehouse lately & will also have other stuff showing up this & next week.

I got my ARP head studs on Monday. I'll install those when the injectors show.



The Silver 64/74/14 is being built right now & hopefully should have that by the end of the week. ATS exhaust is on backorder till next week. So---Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have studs & injectors in. Hopefully by the end of next week manifold & turbo will be on. We shall see.



I've already had a few requests for my Mach 1. 6's I bought new from Bob Wagner, I have saved those P. M. 's in this forum and another.

I'll try & figure out a fair price for them & start going down the list.

The PDR HX40 from Piers (still rocks) will also be on the selling block also. I dont want to sit on these parts for long but need fair money from them both to partially compensate for new purchase !

P. M. me respectable offers on these parts if you wish & when its time to pull next week, I can get it all worked out. I know this isn't the swap meet area.



I'll keep everybody posted of my opinion on this new install once completed & I take a day to tweak. Cant wait--I'm Stoked !!!

 

[proflow]

Got the Silver 64 today. Still dont have my injectors. This sucks.

I have the ARP studs, gonna do them w/the injector swap. Dont have.

I have the new turbo, gonna do that w/the 3-piece manifold. Dont have.

Damn-it !!!



PDR HX-40, Mach 1. 6's , stock intake & exhaust manifold for sale. PM me



Thanks---Proflow
