    Power Steering Pump

    Hey I’m interested in the hydroboost conversion since my vacuum booster is leaking and I’d rather upgrade than replace it. Where did you get the rest of the parts for the conversion? Can I use the same steering gearbox that I have on my truck currently or do I need to change that as well?

    Expected boost

    Here’s some added anecdotal data from my experience. When I had Justin’s stage 1 injectors and his drop in turbo with the wastegate locked shut + CDDs 110 pump I was getting like 20-22 psi. When I switched to Russ’s injectors I’m down to 17-18 psi. But they don’t knock which is really cool...

    EGT questions

    I think generally electromechanical equipment like your relays and ignition coils will be fine unless it is a VERY large EMP. Electronic equipment that operates on low voltages like integrated circuits and microchips, where there is hardly any insulation because everything is so compact, are...

    EGT questions

    Yeah but when you get EMP’d by some high altitude nukes those solid state electronics are done. Also with these advances in the tech, who knows, maybe you’ll get ransomware’d or hacked and not able to use your vehicle. My allure to this truck was the simplicity and knowing that if SHTF I’m...

    Cold timing advance problem

    ok, send me a PM with your address and I’ll send them over. good luck diagnosing which one(s) may be leaking.

    Cold timing advance problem

    I tried that when I was having that problem and sending it actually made it get really stuck open and knocking bad. Sounds like you’re in the same place I was with those injectors. Though I didn’t send them back a second time. If you want, I’ll send you mine so you have extra. I had 7 good ones.

    Cold timing advance problem

    How long does it smoke for? I had the same issue with the stage 1 injectors. On cold starts the truck would smoke a little, up until it was pretty much warmed up. Once it was warmed up the smoke was gone, I think they were leaking down over night or leaking until warmed up. With my new set from...

    EGT questions

    I used Justin’s 3” down pipe with his stage one turbo. I didn’t modify anything to get more clearance. Just wrapped the pipe good, then remove the transmission crossmember + driveshaft and tilt the trans and engine back and downward to get room to install it, then just jack it back up and it’s...

    EGT questions

    https://a.co/d/eidozQQ I used this kit. Made a huge difference for me. My stock exhaust was too restricted and I had trouble building boost.

    EGT questions

    Dang, unloaded with a 110 cc pump I have trouble getting EGTs up to 700. I really have to push the throttle all the way to floor going up hill accelerating to get that high. I am also 4” straight piped + 3” down pipe on the exhaust and Intercooled. I would definitely start with upgrading your...

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    @Nero @KansasIDI Sounds like multiple bad injectors, yikes! Hopefully that’s it though. If you confirm it is the injectors, I’d be weary about sending them back. I sent mine back to justin and they came back okay, but ended up knocking again not long after. I really think Russ’s injectors...

    High pressure fuel pumps

    Yup, I tried it and can tell you that I had wayyy too much return pressure, literally a geyser of fuel squirting out of return . I tried then running a larger line and tee’ing it into the return along the frame right before fuel tank selector valve to see if that would help…. It didn’t help...

    Go to reman injection pump

    The one thing I liked about CDD was that you’re able to send your pump in and know that you’ll get it back in 10-12 weeks. I really wanted one of the R&D pumps but anytime he puts them up for sale on his website they sell out in a few hours. And you can’t get on a waitlist or anything. So far...

    CDR Alternative Poll - Looking for your feedback

    AN12 works fine for now since my rings are brand new. I didn’t get total seal but still no blow by for the moment. AN16 gonna be very tough to fit. Not sure you could do it. I like the hose barb better if you’re gonna go that big. Plus I think elbow is the way to go. Not sure how you’d make...
