MORE POWER in my 1993

[edward.tabor]

I have a 1993 W 250 Cummins, 5 speed Getrag. I want and need MORE POWER, yet I can find nothing for this truck. I would like an open air intake, like an Afe or the like, all I can find is 1994-. What gives? I would also like bigger injectors, again, same trouble.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, would like to have some WHOA with my GO. I'd like a real Jake Brake, not just an exhaust backpressure flapper brake. And source for these? Also is there a rear drum to disc kit out there?

Thanks, ED[email protected]

Piers has a few 1st gen performance parts Piers Diesel

As far as I know a true engine brake cannot be instaled on a B5.9, only an exhaust brake.

EGR has a rear disc brake kit

http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/more_power/Power_ve.htm THIS will help you with that little VE pump of yours. I had my full powr screw in as far as you can get it, boy it made some torque, not too much horsepower...but it will help

The best place for the first gens is the site,

Their are a few guys on thier with some impressive first gens. KTA-Cummins(Brian Block) and Old Smokey are at 485RWHP. They are currently having custom built HOT ROD VE pump parts. Hopefully by this time next year thier will be some 550-600hp first gens running around.

I can vouch for the factory airbox trick. I cut 2 license plate sized holes, leaving just enough side structure to hold the lid on. I'm not sure why, but it seemed to raise my max boost about 2-3 pounds. Now I need to go back in and reset the pump again.
It may be minor, and it may be my imagination, but I'm sure I noticed a difference in spool-up speed, and accelleration.
I've seem bigger mailbox slots than the hole in that factory airbox.
