    CDD Shipping Department Closed Sept 19th-Oct 31st

    The shop where I’m working on projects will remain where I work on trucks, the next shop upgrades will be to pour a slab in the two bays where the trucks are and enclose the back of those bays where the old mill and tool boxes are for a clean area for engine building. With concrete I’ll be able...

    Project Rewbrooks

    Got to see my favorite big red obs yesterday, good to see the truck back and to catch up with Rick. Made some major advances yesterday, found the wastegate arm had popped off and the intake hat gasket wasn’t sitting super square so after some adjusting truck was running great again with barely...

    Crazy IDI build ideas

    It’s not that simple, the pumps turning even with the ignition off are still pumping fuel through the transfer pump, and with the fuel shut off solenoid closed the metering valve is shut so the transfer pressure really doesn’t have anywhere to go. You run a high output pump with the ignition off...

    Anything special about the 12 point bolts for the timing gear?

    That’s because the timing cover itself is holding it in place, the gear physically cannot skip a tooth or come off the cam gear with it bolted on. The three bolts are to attach the gear to the drive and minimize thrust force on the pump.

    Anything special about the 12 point bolts for the timing gear?

    Yes they are special. Run new u joint strap bolts (similar but not the same hardening) and get the install kit from Russ with the stanadyne bolts to install later.

    Questions about Facet pump conversion

    Another no for the fac-et. A moose junior is a pretty small pump by today’s standards, it’s at most a 25% bump from a factory turbo spec so you may have no issues with a lower output electric pump, I would go with a Holley red or mr gasket 105p. The mr gasket comes with a regulators that works...

    R&D vs Type4 cam?

    The problem isn’t airflow with these engines it’s getting enough fuel to them and handling that cylinder pressure, they already flow better than 4 valve 6.0 powerstroke heads in stock form. As for using a different engine’s cam spec in our engines, best I can tell the torque cam on the market...

    CDD Shipping Department Closed Sept 19th-Oct 31st

    I'd love to have another IDI get together down here but its not gonna happen this fall, way too many irons in the fire for me to make it happen, but hopefully in the spring I can do it and may have the shop truck going then too!

    3208 In-line Pump Conversion for the IDI

    I’ve never maxed one out, but they make 80-100cc stock depending on the application

    Building a better db2

    The build thread for this truck will be up in a few weeks, but a local customer who’s been running my drop in 3582 turbo and a 110 pump recently broke a rod in his low buck na 7.3 build so he’s going to be building an idit for 500hp and wants a pump with plenty of fueling for that range. I...

    CDD Shipping Department Closed Sept 19th-Oct 31st

    Hey Oilburners! Wanted to let everyone know that there will be a period between Sept 19th-Oct 31st that I will not be shipping parts out from the online store, not for some time off, but to allow me to knock out some projects in the shop and train up an employee to help me with parts prep and...

    Crazy IDI build ideas

    Each pump is a different beast, so far a 145cc pump is the largest I have been able to build and still have adjustment down to stock na fueling, so if you were wanting a big bore big fuel pump you would be best off planning on running at least 350-400hp of fueling from the start. I could...

    3208 In-line Pump Conversion for the IDI

    No progress on this project, as said above Justin is working on his own inline project and personally I believe there is still a lot of fuel to be had with the dB platform. If you were to do one of these 3208s definitely go with an turbo model for .5mm larger plungers but realistically I don’t...

    Crazy IDI build ideas

    The dual disk street clutch should be very comparable in feel to a typical stock replacement clutch like luk. The clamping comes from all the extra surface area instead of spring rate, so we can run clutch master's street clutch material and should be very nice for a street/tow application...

    They will all be a full kits, na or turbo flywheels, all the hardware, hydraulics, throwout bearing and new fork. The dual disk kits run a very lightweight billet flywheel.

    Building a better db2

    Thanks guys. Here's how the GM pump turned out, pretty good fueling adjustment for 350-500+hp, looking forward to seeing how the 6.5 performs with this much fueling.

    I’ve got some custom clutch kits I’m fixing to add to the store in a week or two once I get some inventory from sb that’ll be good for these higher power builds. -13” single disk that’s a streetable hybrid material for 500hp/1000tq 27,000 lbs $1100 -13” full ceramic single disk (clutch is...

    You shouldn’t need to, strength wise the idit and psd crank is very similar and guys are running stock cranks in 1500hp 7.3s, I’ve never seen an IDI crank fail due to torque, always been rods that fail first.

    Crazy IDI build ideas

    Yeah those are my pumps, the 150 is really only good for low 400s, you’ll need over 300cc to reach your hp goals. You’ll need a custom big bore/big stroke pump to be pushing that kind of fuel.

    You’re also missing the bushing on your striker pin, that will help too.

    Twin Turbo 7.3 IDI?

    For just a 110 pump I would just run a single turbo, if you plan on pushing 400-500+ then twins or compounds would be worth the work, but for setups running less than 400hp youre going to need some tiny turbos to have decent response in a twins config.
