    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    So another question then, does the engine that I'm hopefully getting being bored over .030 change the compression?

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    Oh, the harmonic balancer? I've never heard it called a damper pulley I have a solid flywheel and zf5 transmission(wish it was a 6 instead tho) So I would need a flywheel that is balanced specifically for a turbod engine then

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    This may be a dumb question, but what's a damper pulley? What would better as far as fly wheel goes? I have a solid flywheel in my truck right now

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    Thanks for all the good info, I tried looking up Ricardo comet V but all I could really find was info about the guy, maybe I didn't look hard enough, but that's all I found What's the flatlander 6.9?

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    So is it just because of the way the fuel sprays in that makes them need such high compression to be able to stay nicely?

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    Good point there sir I think something like that would probably be a bit out of my price range

    A direct injection idi? I didn't know that was possible

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    So lowering the compression would be more detrimental than anything?

    I might have to contact him, thanks I didn't realize indirect injection made such a difference vs direct injection

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    Awesome, thanks I was planning on getting Russ's cam already and putting the turbo I have on my current engine on the new one and going with the moose injection stuff Does anybody know how to figure compression ratio so I could figure out what it would be if I machined the pistons? And if I...

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    And what would it take to machine pistons? Cuz I have access to mills and lathes both cnc and manually operated so I might be able to do it myself

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    My intent would be just try to make it as powerful as I can I do intend to stud the heads, and I know they aren't PS but I was mainly just curious if it was possible, I didn't realize they needed that much compression to pop off, why do they need such high compression to pop? I did try to use...

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    And if possible how would I attain that compression level? The engine I will hopefully be buying is already bored .030 over

    compression question for possible 6.9 build

    Lowering the compression would allow for a higher boost level correct? Do with that in mind would it possible to lower the compression of a 6.9 from the 20:1 to say 17.5:1 to make it closerish to a psd and therefore be able to put more boost to it safely?

    egt temperature question

    Thanks for the info everybody, I actually got the turbo installed this weekend and it did lower my EGTs a little, and wow what a difference that turbo makes

    egt temperature question

    So where she running right now should be fine then?

    egt temperature question

    I put a pyrometer on my 6.9 earlier this week and I'm hoping to put my turbo on this weekend, but I was wondering what appropriate egt temperatures are for a N/A 6.9 I've been seeing 700-800* on acceleration and 550-650* cruising at 60-65mph in 5th gear with zf5 Is this normal temperatures for...

    6.9 sputters and has no power????

    That is how I torqued it down that is the same pattern my shop manual shows

    6.9 sputters and has no power????

    Just the IP and lines so that I could leave the gear there so it wouldn't skip time

    6.9 sputters and has no power????

    I have tried tweaking the timing of the injection pump and it didn't change, I double checked all the injector lines and none are leaking, running out of ideas, it ran fine yesterday before I took the ip out to do the intake manifold gasket

    6.9 sputters and has no power????

    My 6.9 is for some reason sputtering an bogging down as soon as I hit 2000 rpm or higher and I can't figure out why, when it does it it sounds like its missing. What is going on??

    need to find pedestal for ats 093 turbo

    Well I have spare lines from a 7.3 that I got off my parts truck and it looks like the line from the 7.3 will work with that airbox but the 6.9 one is too tall I think

    need to find pedestal for ats 093 turbo

    Whoops phone didn't want to spell glow plugs in last post, never done those yet

    need to find pedestal for ats 093 turbo

    I have never done the how plus since I bought the truck so I should probably do them, I downloaded the install manual as PDF from ats, i know that the 6.9 #2 injector line won't work with ats airbox but if I use one from 7.3 will that work? Thanks for the tip, I will pick up some pb blast on...
