Yea Jmaz, Dustin, Rob, and Guy spend a bunch of time helping me figure this out, I have never tore into a diesel before (one or two gassers) so it was interesting
Anyways, here is what I have done/doing please let me know if I’m missing anything.
Fuel system-right now just the stock CP3 with LBZ regulator until I have $$ for a dual CP3. I ported the little bullet looking things behind the fuel rail fittings, stock they were only about 0.032”, I ported them out to 0.113 (the size the inlet/threaded fittings were). I also plan on doing a sump and looking at upgrading my AD II 165 to something bigger when the time comes. I have shimmed the FPRV also.
What is the best way to clean the fuel system? The injector lines were rusty down in the fitting, I plan on cleaning them really well with brake cleaner (it was so bad rust dropped down to the clean surface of the line) then flushing the crap out of them with diesel. I’m planning on hooking the lines up loosely to the rail off at an angle with bottles, hooking my AD up to the input lines and running a couple gal of clean fuel though them before I hook it up to the CP3 and injectors.
For air I have Scotts triple 300s so I decided to not port the heads, I have run out of time and $$. Same thing with staying with the stock cam. I do have the banks IC and a 3” Ybridge
I put a new water pump on it with the welded gear, my old one looked ok so I’ll just wait and see on that…
I went with Hamilton springs, but leaving everything else stock up top
I put a new drivers side manifold on it (again $$) but wrapped everything up to the pedestal with header wrap. I got bored one night so I did a little porting/polishing of the HTT pedestal.
Putting the ATI damper on it and figured with the balance it should be good to go, and a new flex plate for the back.
I’m leaving the mains lose per what I was told, and keeping the stock oil pump. I’m a little nervous about the stock oil pump with lose mains and 3 oil cooled turbos- eventually (before summer) I’ll get some sort of oil cooler on it, with the stock bottom end I would hold 30ish at idle and 60 at 2K rpm.
So what am I missing here? I know I also need to do a billet input/output shaft for the ally. I also have Mike L’s cooler up front for the trans. I have a PPE center link with sleeves and going to better tie rods
Thanks for the info in advance!
