    Still catching alot of flack for bringing this up on other Powerstroke sites, but I can't leave it alone. It is starting to bother me now. I need to get my hands ona long block and do some dissecting. I want to do a build.

    YeaH, MECHANICAL PUMP MAY BE the way to go...I think what happens when really good ideas aren't used to the full extent, this case with Hypermax....You need a real good salesman to sell it...You need to burn interest into people's minds...I have seen some of the best products never make it to...

    Keep your ideas coming,all are good....as far as enginemanagement it would be as simple as looking nat a few parameters,,maybe as little as 2. THe darn OEM's overcomplicate the sub-systems of the engine to the point that they are doing more work than what is required....I always say work smarter...

    I parked next to an IDI the other day..I love the body style...a little boxy... a little 80's... but man all truck...She started it up and the cackle is not hard to distinguish....But who knows,anything is possible if somebody stays on track and works hard....

    Keeping EGT's as cold as ice cubes is something that I have made my money doing , no problem there, what it sounds like is 2 much fuel is being delivered and the engine VE is trailing as RPM builds, rendering the extra fuel useless. Get VE up, and EGT's will go down...We can electronically...

    You are thinking like I am...The 6.9 is in need of aftermarket support...I can engineer electrical and mechanical components but I will need an interest from the public, that is why I have been conversing with guys that own them...

    Just keep the coolant level in the bottle lower than usual, just a switch below the min mark when cold. If you are running a hot tuner you may need to make a modification...

    Modifications for the 6.9/7.3IDI

    I need to persue this further, I read an article on a guy that was looking for more aftermarket support for his 6.9L...It inspired me...Then I found some old sales brochure on the Banks Turbo kit for the 6.9L..At one time the 6.9 was the top of the heap diesel engine for light duty...

    Modifications for the 6.9/7.3IDI

    Some good stuff here, I know that it would cost a lot of money, and a one off design would be the best bet, getting the interest up will be the hardest part of anything that I do. I will probably look at a lot of different gas engine intake manifolds to get the best idea of a manifold runner...

    First of all my understanding of the 6.9 block is nill. But I would think a redesign(where it counts, more material in the block, sorrounding the cylinder bore, sleeved, main girdle kit. oil cooled pistomn squirters, forged rods, coated pistons. redesigned cylinder head etc...Could be a real...

    Modifications for the 6.9/7.3IDI

    The whole reason why i ask this is somebody is already casting 6.5 GM blocks with much more strength. Now they can boost higher and make a lot more power. I was thinking if enough interst is here for a 6.9 block somebody can start casting , machining these and we can see some PSD 7.3L output...

    Modifications for the 6.9/7.3IDI

    Looking into the 6.9 platform, anyone want to give advice for me as far as competition goes. I want to do a 6.9 build and push it all the way.
