    Water-Meth Injection in a 6.9l idi

    A couple of things- You can build your own system with all new parts for about $120.00. Non-turbo'd idi's stand to to gain just as much, if not more benefit from a water/alcohol mist system as turbo'd engines, especially from the standpoint of keeping EGT's in the sane range. As WMO Guy already...

    Conversion Ideas

    As to M-B, if you can get your hands on an OM617.952 (1981-1985 cast iron head) put a bigger turbo on it and turn up the pump, it will be anything but gutless. As for tinkering, it's a pretty straight up diesel, just make sure that vacuum lines are fresh and vacuum pump is good. They are like...

    Moose or DPS pump on WMO

    There's a Hess station about 4 miles from the house that has the hose to the K1 pump passing through a big U-bolt in the base of the pump housing- so you can't pump it directly into your vehicle... But that's OK, I just take three 5gal. fuel cans up there whenever it's time to cook up a batch...

    Moose or DPS pump on WMO

    Garbage?;Really Whatever sir, that old saw about opinions comes to mind... My mix is filtered 20X finer than you can buy at the pump. My mix is centrifuged 5 passes hot and dewatered with the 'fuge output going straight into a 0.5 micron filter bag over and over and over. I have the utmost...

    About HAD it with this air intrusion!!

    Goofy- I use a cheap SunPro boost gauge as a fuel pressure gauge- it's mounted in a piece of 2" PVC tube with a steep angle cut on the end that's glued (that's right Brad, glued) with a hidden bead of Goop to the hood, ala old Trans Am. It's very sensitive- I can see instantly any change in...

    Old Spice to the rescue

    This sounds like a problem I had a few months back... Ended up being the plastic multi-wire plug that plugs into the ignition switch proper under the dash. Ended up costing me a new starter before I found the actual problem. Drop the steering column down and look at that connection, and also...

    Well not an IDI but pretty funny...

    Indeed, what is this "ice" material, and why would anyone ever apply it to a roadway?? Sounds dangerous to me, all that slipping and whatnot....LOL:D

    Unconventional 1983 6.9l

    As an update to this, at some point a previous owner replaced the 6.9 controller and harness with a 7.3 system. Mike had purchased the proper GP's (spade connector) for a 6.9, so you can imagine our surprise upon seeing little bullet heads and a 7.3 controller tucked away right where it belongs...

    Let down by the blue oval...

    The way he worded it I thought it supplied power to the fuse panel- maybe like a homebrew theft deterent?

    Unconventional 1983 6.9l

    Welcome to Oil burners- from a fellow Jacksonville OB'er. Have you checked that all of your glow plugs are good yet? Did your controller start clicking almost immediately or did it take ten seconds or so? Three turns of the engine really isn't too bad at all.

    Let down by the blue oval...

    -As opposed to an intermittent duty solenoid, one that wont burn up being left on continuously. I use this 150A one (oversized, I know, it was for something else) for my fuel heater.

    i need some feed back starting on wmo

    i'M CURRENTLY ON MY SECOND DAY (sorry) of triple mix- 60%WMO, 10%WTF & 30% K1 and I have to say that this is the best yet. The viscosity is almost indistinguishable from #2 and the smoke level also appears to be no different from #2. Where I am seeing a difference is improvement in smoothness of...

    150psi Air Tank Used with 200psi Compressor?

    Sean, It's not 5X across the board- it runs from 1.5 to 4 in most cases and dependent upon useage. Some folks will probably jump my ass for this, but 50psi over the tank label rating at the absolute minimum FoS of 1.5 still puts you 25psi under. If my tank was in good shape/fairly new, I'd do...

    Heads up!

    Yeah, I feel your pain... That's why I made this- I get a solid 6psi post filter now. Sounds funny though, the Holley goes errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, and the Facet goes bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. A couple Powerstroke guys got out of their truck and were walking past my truck at Home Depot when I switched on...

    No start

    Hot rpm transitions through the resonance points of the injection lines shook loose the crap and clogged the injector tips. Fill a new filter with Howes, pull the lines and throw an old towel over the pump and spin the starter/engine for 30 sec, let cool & do it once more. Refill filter with...

    Water Pump Time

    It looks from your photo that the sheet metal in your new "shroud" fits right up against the back of the radiator, is this the case? If so, why? That may be a kick ass fan but it's only pulling through one (much reduced) area, and you lose all of the benefit from driving induced airflow...

    Water Injection Really?

    Long thread and I was trying to work from memory- I thought I had read that your pump was @ 60psi, sorry.. No wonder it looked like a fire hydrant blowing out of that nozzle! To address a concern you stated earlier- if you still have your intake screen in place, there's no way in hell that big...

    Water Injection Really?

    Josh, I get my nozzels from these folks- http://www.cloudtops.com/fog_systems/fogging_system_parts.php And the ones that I use are these- PN 00004 - BRASS FOG NOZZLE .015" STAINLESS STEEL ORIFICE 10/24 UNC - BEST AT 45-1200 PSI My system is completely home built and very simple, made...

    Water Injection Really?

    Wow, both of those nozzels seem to really throw out a lot of water... I'm running Three nozzels of a much smaller orifice size and only putting out about half of what was showing for either of those things. I'm no engine scientist/technician, but my gut feeling is that's probably a little too...

    zf 5spd towing

    It seems like I only glance at the tach after the fact, so couldn't really tell you my shift point rpms.. From a seat of the pants aspect though, I'm like you and ease into throttle & next gear in city traffic- call it halfway to two thirds up the torque curve. When getting on the highway...

    WMO/WTF filter lifespan?

    I heat to about 130F, centrifuge 4 hours on 50 gallons @ 1 gallon a minute, and use a bag filter of 5 microns inside of a 0.5 micron bag. I hot circulate non-pressurized through the bags. Final filter before the nozzle is a Goldenrod 10micron water block (oil is already clean at this point)...

    Oh man.... Well, it's time to move someplace warmer anyway.:D

    Flexpipe Downpipe

    Why does it necessarily have to be a hack? I imagine it could look as good as anything else under the hood of one of these trucks.
