or maybe ive finally gone off my rocker??
It would be a COMPLETE waste of money. A moose pump would simply melt your pistons to a liquid form....and I am not kidding.
I have seen a youtube clip of the moose truck gettin some and it smokes just as much as my truck does with the pump bumped up....without a turbo in my truck
Yes, non intercooled boost is warm, sometimes downright hot, but it IS more air afterall.
Excessive fuel in the cylinders is jsut that. It will wash down your cylinder walls, and cause premature ring wear. Then the excess soot will get into your oil and start working against your engines bearing surfaces, and your rings will soot up and you will lose compression among many things.
I HIGHLY suggest getting a turbo first!
I am in the process now of talking with some members on building the ULTIMATE engine. I have stumbled across a COMPLETE IDI turbo (factory) and I am going to tear it down, rebuild it from the ground up, bigger compressor wheel, compressor bigger housing, torquer cam, matched injectors, shaved pistons, studs and to start, a maxed out factory 1992.5 - 1994.5 IDI turbo pump WITH the torque screw. I am also looking around at intercoolers for good measure.
Even WITH all that, I would SERIOUSLY doubt I could run a turned up moose pump....I fear it could deliver more fuel that I could burn.
BUT, as I always say....it's your truck, and you are free to do with it what you want. But, if you insist on running a moose pump on a N/A engine, I will send you a cheque and a box right now.....so you can send me that pump when one of your pistons melts and destroys the engine.
You are on the right track though for a good working NA idi engine.
A 6.9 with the torquer cam, COLD AIR INTAKE (cowl induction maybe?
) matched injectors, TRUE DUAL EXHAUST and the upgraded 7.3 valve train....you could have one hell of a performer.
