Popular Post brettj3876 Posted November 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Our 2 trucks. 93 mid roof that was a 350 vmac1, we converted to a full mechanical with a pump off a EM-7 300 maxidyne, rack opened up all the way, Stg 2 injectors from Rochester and S475 turbo. Rockwell 3.91s, Lo pro 22.5 and an old school RTOO14613 with the .62 over. Triple digit truck. Big red is a 99 460 E-tech only 685k miles on it. T2180 4.42s and tall 24.5s rebuilt engine in 2013 has less than 200k on it. Both have full gauge packages Figured I'd post these. Make someone happy to see some not ratted out CH's. The pic of big red was a few months ago when we're rebuilding the transmission. And that paint job on the 93 my dad did Edited November 29, 2022 by brettj3876 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the other one quite a bit. Unlucky I guess Lol. We've had that one for almost 4 years now. We took it out of service in May to do the trans, rear main and clutch and a few other odds and ends. I think I've seen that black CL in your avatar. Edited December 3, 2022 by brettj3876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the process of replacing 4,5,6 injection lines with PAI ones since these new Volvo shitty lines crack every few months. I'll take some better pics tomorrow when it's light out. Used a cable and the stock pedal after getting rid of the electronics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has slightly less ass than before but we're going to have another pump built. The guy that put together this pump has a core were gonna buy and build one that flows just a tad more, that's all I'll say for now. Factory had 16.9:1 pistons and now it has 15.3:1 (that's what the 650 marine engines run) If you ran the high comp 16.9 or 16.5 I don't think it would live very long if you weren't careful. This right now is setup so you can have your foot to the floor and pyro won't go above 950 down around 1350-1400rpm. You really have to work it for the water temp to get to 200.

Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Nope you’d have the pyro gauge spinning in circles if you had that big compression with serious fuel and bigger turbo. That’s amazing you can keep the egt under 1k. Also you’re up in the mountains so that plays a big role in your temps and power too. Are those temps loaded or unloaded? Is there anyway to put something like an air dog or fass 200gph electric fuel pump to feed the injection pump on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to put something like an air dog or fass 200gph electric fuel pump to feed the injection pump on these? Temps are loaded. Fan comes on at 195 I believe but I always turn it on at the bottom of a hill. On a really hot summer day it might see 205-210 for a few minutes No a FASS won't do anything, the pump is maxed out and you can't get anymore without opening it up and swapping in different barrels/plungers. Bigger turbo moving more air so less EGT. Timing also plays a role. Advanced will be lower EGT but higher cylinder pressure/temp. Retarded is higher EGT and more boost because it's dumping fuel in later closer to TDC before it fires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Advanced also makes harder cold staring. So i bet you got her plugged In now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I’m well aware how it works, just saying I understand why you guys knocked the compression down. At the same time too more air with more fuel becomes a blow torch to the pistons and exhaust valves. You got any vids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) sounds like you got her running pretty damn good Especially up in the mountains and with all the hills Edited December 3, 2022 by Onyx610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to find the vid I've got one cracking the throttle a few times right after the conversion. It does start a little bit harder with the fixed timing but not that noticable until it reaches about 10 degrees outside. No place to plug in down at the yard.

Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Get a go pro and mount it on the back of trailer and pull some hills loaded for a good vid haha. Edited December 3, 2022 by Onyx610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettj3876 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 I would like to do something like that. Or have it mounted on the passenger side mirror. I'd like to get another spotter mirror and mount it on top of the mirror to see if it's putting out a haze on a hard pull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
