    auto power

    I just checked out the Diesel Dynamics calculator and for my aplication it only allowed me 190 hp. Is my automatic only capable of 190 hp? How much is too much for the trans? I know that heat is the enemy and plan on doing some stuff to keep the temps down.

    Injector Question

    I'm curious about how diesel injectors are labeled. I'm seeing them advertised as anywhere from 30-150hp. Is this how much they make over stock injectors? Does the injector pump need to be bumped up to keep up with the new injectors? I'm sure if you start adding a whole lot of fuel you'd...

    BigNorm's 86 Bronco Diesel Conversion Build

    So far this is my list of potential candidates: My favorite so far. (But also economically unfeasible at 6K a copy) is the 2.8L Powerstroke manufactured in Brazill and it is a stock option for Rangers and F150s down there. It's my favorite because it only weighs like 450 lbs and produces some...

    6.9 conversion in the Bronco

    I'm keeping my future options open. I like the look of the Cummins 4BT but availability seems to be a problem. I like the 6.9/7.3 ideas because Agnem said it's basically bolt in. Well. the engine is anyway. I have some questions to Agnem or anyone that might know. I've read up on all the...
