Is That Black Smoke
Good Morning,
I bought this truck a little over a year ago (my 1st Diesel), pretty much stock, with the best I can figure out is a Stock ATS/Garrett Turbo Kit? Pretty much been that way, outside of a DIY Intake w/6637 filter, till now.
Been driving my idi for a little over a week now, off & on, after changing out my injectors and return kit. Got Bb's from Typ4.
I also had a Banks DP purchased last year which I finally wrestled with & installed as well. Then took the truck to my local exhaust shop, and now I have a 4" straight pipe to a 5" tip.
Regretfully I am Not as impressed with results as much as I thought I would be.
So I'm just a little
It's definitely got a little more punch, and it sounds great. But it's lagging at the get go.
No real quick throttle response. I was hoping for an immediate feeling of.
Not sure if my MPG'S are suffering or are better, or unchanged?
Downloaded 'Gas Cubby' App, to track that. Will post results after a couple fill ups.
I knew there was some stuff that needs to be done after what I did, but did not expect that to be too dramatic (didn't say 'important' because I sorta knew it probably was...).
So now I guess I need to adjust the fuel screw? I thought that was also called Timing?
But I think from what I was reading this morning, those are two different things?
So i guess that I will also need to Time it as well?
I read that if injectors were changed, from one code to another, the timing is definitely affected.
That's how I understood what I've read so far?
I don't know what I took out, but they were Stanadyne's. Couldn't see a code. I installed Delphi's bb.
And the IP needs to produce the correct delivery of fuel?
I don't really have Black Smoke, unless I really stomp on the Skinny Pedal.
So, how does one go about getting an IDI Turbo (mine in particular) running right?
Where do I find, what do I do, and how do I do it? Please help. I'm not afraid to tinker.
I am definitely no mechanic and I don't know too much about the subject of auto mechanics, and I am just learning about Diesels. I've had my hands pretty dirty and greasy many times, but not with anything too intense. So...
Is this something I (a novice - diesel newbie) can do? Do I need special tools, meter, gauges?
If so, where does one find them?
Or is there a place in the Willamette Valley of the Great State of Oregon, that does this?
Really could use help from this forum of experts, so I'm asking, please help.
Thanks to all.
