Hey Justin,
SC is one of those limited info type of projects, just like electronic dash boards when they go bad, there is no deep well of knowledge readily available to peg a question.
Unfortunately, you may have to do the leg work up front, but when you do have questions at a stopping point, there may be someone who either knows or knows where to send you for some more info to help solve your problem.
Also, there will be answers you do not receive because #1, no one really knows, or #2, there's a "Just do it" because that's the way it is mentality v. knowing the actual answer- which you will have to dig for yourself.
Don't ever take it personal, just know, sometimes even on this site where knowledge runs deeper than any other site, there will be times where you just gotta do it..... but then share it with others, even if it is just a piece of a greater puzzle.
I'm king of pizzing off people.... but then again, it's for the right reason .... I'm crazy.
Welcome aboard!!
hey sports fans! i would like to supercharge my 6.9 idi if you couldknt tell from my title. Seeing how there limited information on the subject since sc diesels went out of style ages ago, u know shortly after turbos arrived. i was lookn for any hints, tips, suggestions, links, blogs, and pretty much whatever i can get my hands on by those of you that have done it or know somebody that may have, in the hopes that i may do it right the FIRST time (maybe). so if anybody could help me out with that, it would be super super flippn awsome of u. thanks
yup, been doin that... got to wade thru a bunch of b.s. hard to find the facts between all theoretical crap and the trash talkn against the use of sc on a diesel. thats why i specifically asked 4 ppl that have done it (or know someone that did) so i may b pointed directly to usefull information.
well not necessarily trash talkn... but ya know the whole "turbos r better this, turbos r better that, "well that seems pointless", "well if u wanna waste the your money", that sort. either way not helpful. but yes there are constructive threads out there... like that "supercharged diesel here" thread... thats a pretty good one.
LMAO! ...yea i get it... im honestly not trying to argue, and im pretty sure im in no position to b demanding anything here. lol.
ps the wise remarks was more geared to the "lets not try to reinvent the wheel"
When you're asking about the viability of a certain project, you need to look at both sides. You seem to have decided before researching what the answer is, and only want to hear the supporting arguments. Anything else is already BS in your mind. Good luck with your search, I have a feeling you're going to struggle a lot on this project.....especially insulting the opinions of the board that you are soliciting.
If you notice I suggested searching for the info your requesting.....sometimes it's simpler to duplicate an already proven or working setup...and just modify and improve on it rather than start from scratch!. I call it quite quick and direct...simple nuff
towcat man... i know, believe u me, i know like i said, i am lookn threw the threads, theres just alot of "stuff" to sort threw., hence the question for any one out there whod like to share and save me some time lookn, ya know. im lookn tho
And given the results of the tests, it would seem some of those statements are warranted. SWS did his project and mentioned that it didn't turn out that spectacular. Why reinvent the wheel to get the same or less results? This is a message board. We are allowed to have our opinions here. I apologize if they don't line up with your predetermined conclusions.
