    12v p-pump motor in 03 CR?

    Steve, no offense but what crack-head told you this cant be done??? this is the CONVERSION forum. You could put a Briggs&Stratton in a semi if you wanted, there is no such thing as "it cant be done" TJarecke, I say go for it, I just finished putting a 07 commonrail into my 98 12v...

    12v to commonrail swap pics.

    LMAO Forrest!!!! perfect description!!! Odly enough, mine doesnt have that goose-fart sound. It actually sounds pretty good! The exhaust tone is much louder and deeper than the 12v and doesnt cackle. Its just a simple diamond-eye 4" system. also to everyone who has asked, I built my own harness...

    High EGT's w/smarty boost fluctuating

    Bob 4X4, In the book for the TNT software it clearly states that their hp. settings were achieved on a Bone stock truck meaning stock intake and exhaust. I have a holley blue lift pump and a BHAF and 4" exhaust. Has been running much cooler and seems quit a bit stronger since I set it at #5...

    High EGT's w/smarty boost fluctuating

    I dont have many choices for an intake since no-one builds one for my application.

    High EGT's w/smarty boost fluctuating

    I am noticing the boost fluctuating when between 23-27psi and part throttle no load. you can hear the turbo speeding up and slowing down. Also It seems to get to 1450-1500 deg pretty easy, 3/4 throttle accelerating gets to 1400+, smarty set at #4 tnt w/stock timing, my 12v didn't get that hot...

    12v to commonrail swap pics.

    Vaughn, It runs and drives great, sounds awesome!!. Diamond-eye sent me a down-pipe for a 03-07, I had to rotate the outlet elbow on the turbo and cut 4" out of my intermediate pipe and it fit like it was made for it. If you check around you will find that it is not on common to see a 04...

    12v to commonrail swap pics.

    Hey guy's, I took a 225 mile trip this weekend and averaged 27. 8mpg!!! Smarty on tnt #4 w/stock timing. It hasnt so much as hiccupped since the first time I started it up. I do notice at part throttle around 25 psi the turbo surges up and down, if I give it a little throttle it goes away...

    Finished Finally!!!! Wow!!!!

    TDC, I made my own harness, thats where the "special thanks to my friends" comes in. It turned out to be incredibly simple, I have been driving it for 3 days now without a single glitch. It simply runs fantastic!!!! I loaded the Smarty with the TNT program on #4 stock timing, Holy Crap!!!! My...

    Finished Finally!!!! Wow!!!!

    Drove my commonrail powered 98 home last night, Wow was it worth it!!! After tightening the last bolt I filled the engine with coolant and fired it up. After the t-stat opened and one last search for leaks or problems, I closed the hood and took it for a drive at almost midnight! It ran perfect...

    Starting my commonrail swap!!!

    Its Alive!! I got the wiring all done and put some power to it, Wagners re-flash did the trick!!! Thanks Bob, I had one ground wire that I thought was for the fuel heater and turned out to be much more important!! When I hooked it up the smarty worked without a hitch. Cranked about 2 seconds...
