most power w/ turned up stock pump and POD's?

[bgilbert]

Well Forrest, with my non-ic'd, stock turbo, pod's, slight tweaks of the pump, decent air in, air out, I will put it on the rollers next weekend at Scheids diesel event here in TH and let you know what I'm putting out. Stock everything, virgin pump, air in, air out, I put down 177, 417.

"Stock" is a relative term. I am assuming that the pump never comes off, or the governor housing separated. The POD's make good power, but if you want big power with a stock pump, larger injectors will be necessary.



The only real advantage I see using compound turbos over a single is EGT reduction on a first gen. I did gain some HP by building a compound setup, but EGT control was the greatest benefit. Not including the stock turbo, I have had six different singles on my rig. The HX40 and DD Jammer were the best of the two for around 400hp. The Jammer being the faster spooling charger. Both allowed for about the same EGT's. Compared to the compounds the 40 spools about the same, but makes more EGT. I could burry the pyrometer with the 40, and only make about 1225* with the compounds. For most higher HP applications I think that a 40 or Jammer would be the best choice. There are several smaller benefits to the compounds besides the EGT reduction over a single, but it's really a lot of money, and/or time, than really necessary for most to spend. Last week our shop made over 700hp with just a single H2E on a p-pump rig. 800hp is do-able. So it really depends on what you do with the rig, how much time/money you want to spend, and what your goals are. A performance cam can also be used to reduce EGT's instead of compounds. The cost of a cam installed is much cheaper than the cost of a set of compound turbos installed. There are some setups that work better than others, but there is no one "best" setup that will work for everyone.

If you look at that again, it was "Old Mokey", kind of my southern drawl coming out in my typing. Hey, if you want to put an "n" in there, THAT is your coice! :-laf :-laf :-laf



BTW, what a "injecors"? Do I need some for my truck?



J/K ya man! Got that big soot pipe under your truck looking black yet?

Some day, I plan on twins just to clear up my excess smoke. BUT, that will be after a good converter, a little head work and "O"rings, and some trans up-grades.

Now if you ask my opinion on injectors, I really like the DD3+'s I am running. I don't know how much power I am putting down because of the converter I have, but it runs clean, has good milage, and great overall driveability.

I guess I want the twins for the "cool factor".

Carl - I guess that’s why I shouldn't post after a long day of work. :-laf I think all of the powerstrokes are getting to me. The "sewer pipe" is getting a little black. The right rear wheel now matches the tire! I may have to get a turn down tip to keep things clean.



I agree with Dave, the DD injectors are the best I have seen. Now only if he would start on his "to do" list.

Well Dave, When you get ready to do that transmission and feel you need a little practise, I know one that needs some internal fixin up to practice on! You know what they say, practise makes perfect.



Want to do the TC/VB/internals in the, hopefully, not to distant future. Working on getting some pricing on a Hughes convertor and rebuild kit.
