93 power upgrade

[CESpitz]

A buddy of mine has a first ganeration he ask me how much power he can get with out changing inj. pumps



he would like to get around 300hp and around 700 torque is this possible on first generation



any info I could pass on would be great

Diesel Power magazine did one "Project Rust Bucket". Check out there series
http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/dodge/1008dp_1989_dodge_d250_ve_pump_nitrous_system/.
They were also using nitrous, but made good power without it. I don't recall all of the differences between non-intercooled and intercooled VE pumped 6BTs but most of the power recipe should be applicable.

You will need injectors to get that kind of power. For reference, my 91. 5 with 50 hp Bully Dog's, #16 turbin housing, turned up pump, stock intake and exhaust minus the muffler runs 263 hp/708 trq at about 28 psi boost.

My 92 did 320/811 with 370's, HX-35 16 cm, and a tweaked up pump. 300/800 is pretty easy with some injectors and a little pump tweaking.

Thanks Guys I will pass this on to my friend I have been trying to get him to become a member of TDR

Keep in mind that a stock clutch or a stock auto transmission probably won't last long if he uses the power much.

not lying, I made 398hp (spike but a realistic 370) on arron Rudolf's (Rudy's) dyno in my 90 non I/c with stock fuel pin rotated 90* afc and smoke screw bottomed out and full power screw on the edge of runaway timing bump and hx35 with stock gov spring and injectors and a fuel tank full of heating oil (good old fashioned high sulfur #2) but melted a piston later that week grossing way over 20k without gauges pulling hills 80mph on the interstate without thinking

Some lessons are easy.
Others are expensive!

Just turning up the pump and changing to a 16 housing makes a huge drivability improvement. He may be satisfied going that rout and save a ton on less driveline carnage
