    R&D vs Type4 cam?

    I wasn't asking for solutions russ. I had double and triple checked if I had any issues that would cause the cam to under perform, and everything was setup correctly and running normal. In my opinion, anyone will get more out of their money upgrading an IP and a turbo/bigger then stock turbo...

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    Had tons of free time today, so I went ahead and tinkered with the fuel screw. It is easy enough for me to do in 20 minutes and went for a drive. The result was the pedal was less sensitive and it makes sense because now the governor has more upper end fuel range to work with. MAN it sure pours...

    R&D vs Type4 cam?

    When I rebuilt my IDIT, i ordered a torque cam. I am sad to report that my butt dyno did not feel a damn difference before and after cam. Same turbo, injectors, pump and it still was the same. Won't know till I get on a dyno I guess. I ordered one during the sketchy time (late '16 early '17)...

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    It is running great and it is more fun to drive! Makes total sense that it is happening to me not having a regulator in my fuel system. I will tackle the problem once I have free time, and I will let you know if I ever need another return valve if I still have problems, but I will wait till I...

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    Retarded the timing a dimes width and the results were less clatter and about 2 psi more boost. So I decided to throw together a small video project with the results, I had found a 35 to 70 clip from a few months ago that motivated me to go out and get another 30 to 70 mph run clip after the...

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    I did most of these steps and I can say I am very pleased. So far in the tuning, I have punched out the pressure relieve valve, backed out the torque screw all the way, and bottomed out the "minimax" and boy did it wake the motor up! I do have Stage 1 injectors so my throttle response is much...

    Why does is smoke black if I time the injection too advanced?

    Watch this video first then read the first 1st ten pages of this manual http://www.stanadyne.com/dealerportal/ssi/english/Product%20Manual/99834.pdf It is not exactly the same as our pumps that are made for 8 cylinders, but its all the same concept. Before seeing these two sources, I had no...

    R&D Stage 1 Drop In Turbo

    First off with performance wise, it's still an IDI and she's a heavy truck in terms of HP to weight ratio, this is why I am excited and eager to try the first heavy tow and see if it'll hold 4th gear up some steep grade and see what it does. And of course a dyno so I can get some numbers. But...

    R&D Stage 1 Drop In Turbo

    Here are the videos for the stage 1 drop in. So far, I am loving the extra grunt my truck has after upgrading to a stage 1 turbo and injectors. I am hoping to get another couple videos on an easy intercooler install using parts and pieces commonly available. I am still waiting to find a dyno to...

    Before and after

    The new headlight assembly far better than the ones that came from factory IMO. The "cheap look" i believe is just because we are used to the modern day vehicles that have fancy looking headlights from factory! Nice truck though man!

    IDI MPG

    When I ran 500 miles across the I70 pass and back, I was getting around 15 with an unloaded trailer and about 12 with a 4500lbs vehicle on the trailer. I could get a better timing for fuel economy and i was boosting 11-12psi which I don't think it helps with milage because it superheats the...

    Towing upgrades

    The reason why I run a stack is because I hated puffing some smoke into cars in traffic with the stock exhaust. the smaller diameter makes the velocity faster and if I really got on it, the smoke would easily shoot across a lane coming off a stop. Now with a stack, I do not have to worry about...

    The Official "Show Us Your Ride" pictures of member's trucks thread.

    '94 factory turbo, ZF5, 265/75/16, 2 inch body lift, ram air intake and modified 2-1/2 down pipe to 5 inch smoke stack, RDT. It is my designated tow rig and I am looking to maintain good reliability and oil leak free. Will eventually put a torque cam and water to air inter-cooler for better...

    HOLY CAM!

    All make sense! I am wanting to do the cam and the thing holding me back is I don't want to deal with cam bearings, how many here reuse the bearings? Sounds like you can't slide by reusing the hydraulic lifters, where does one picks some new ones at? Thank you

    HOLY CAM!

    What are the steps in the install to ensure that you will have valve clearance? Or what reasons why it won't clear and what has to be done to prevent contact?

    Factory turbo rebuild kit?

    Hello, Before posting this, I tried searching and searching through threads and the tech section for more info. I have the stock 94 7.3 IDI that came with the factory garrett tubro. The turbine has some play, but its minimal and truck has 250k miles, i think its time for a rebuild. As i can...
