Found this when pulling injecors.

I decided to swap my injectors and turbo kit with another truck as well as the sidewinder turbo to upgrade my first gen ats.

I found several wet tips 4 were dry n mildly sooty like normal the one i was concerned wiith is covered in oil ( see pic). Ideas on cause i know the injectors dont have oil like a psd does.
It runs pretty good just was smokey n i had a feeling a couple were leaky as its been eating glowplugs

Thanks yall

I'd say that you had leaking injectors. That Sidewinder will be a good improvement over a first gen Banks.

I hope so wasnt happy with the low end on that older ats. I suspected leaking injectors which is why this whole thing got started.
The oil soaked one still has me puzzled

 

[IDIBRONCO]

Sorry. I got your current turbo set up wrong. Either way, it will be a good step up. Are you certain that it's oil and not a lot of soot mixed with diesel fuel? From what I could see, I couldn't see any oil in your pictures. What was on the injectors looks pretty clear and not black like oil would be.

 

[Azidiguy]

that makes sense. It didnt really smell like diesel but the copper paet didny look too good when removed. I had about condemed the pump before finding those betting pump.is good to go. Thanks for the help hope it quits eating glow plugs now

Just be sure to have the timing checked afterward.

 

[Azidiguy]

Going to order the tool to do it

What a difference in the sidwinder vs that ats kit wow.

I thought you'd like it. With the fueling we gave them, as a group, the second gen Sidewinders seemed to get the most boost, as a whole. With all new engines (and sometimes rebuilt turbos if needed) they usually got 12-13 PSI. The ATS 093s, as a group, seemed to be slightly less at usually 11-12 PSI. The most boost that I saw was with a 093. That got 14 PSI. That was empty, in 4th gear (ZF5), 3000 RPM, and, admittedly, probably not enough fuel. Our fuel settings were based on the info from out pump/injector rebuilder. We had some "turbo" spec pumps that we put on engines with turbos, but we didn't always have one on hand and had to turn up a "N/A" pump.

You're welcome. Just remember that nobody has the exact same experiences with these trucks/vans/engines so all of our input is valuable.
