G'day, after a little advice on how to get the most HP as possible at 1700rpm max on a 8.3, has a PES6A inline fuel pump, currently rated at 234HP @ 2200 rpm. We are building a test bench for a hydraulic pump that we are refining some controls for, the pump needs to be at 1700rpm max, we can...

Just chasing some opinions on power r&p...... Have a Chevy C20 front subframe, control arms and spindles etc that I am using on a Inter D1310 project (roughly a C30 sized truck), I have a busted chev steering box which Im using to mock up and it isnt doing it for me. It is going to sit in a bad...

The reason I ask is that the return orifice in the regulator is calibrated to the intended out put of the rotor and injectors, it is designed to supply a repeatable and reliable timing curve for the given flow, as you have said and I also assume that with larger injectors you will loose the...

Thought this may be of interest to some, was trying to figure out the flow volumes of the vane pump vs the piston pump, and its relationship to case pressure, did up a bit of a spread sheet. Using the measurements of 2 of the pumps I have here and measured the orifice sizes of the pump...

Hi, yet another PCS thread. Putting together a early 70's IH truck with a 6BT and a 4R100 2wd version with pto. Wanting to keep the dash as simple as possible, speedo, tacho, oil pressure and coolant temp is pretty much it. As with any compound turbo set up I want to read a heap of different...

Can get my hands on a GT55 new for a good price, has a billet comp wheel (from OEM Detroit diesel) and a 1.12 a/r T6 exhaust. Wondering if its worth putting on the shelf for a rainy day? I've only got a VE pumped 6bt at the moment but if I upgrade in the future to a big set of twins what fuel...

Hi, I have just started the install of a VE pumped 6BT into my old truck and am chasing more HP like everyone else so in searching millions of turbo threads the problem of inadequate fuel supply on the VE pump is the biggest problem I can see. I definitely don’t have all the solutions to these...

G'day, I'm in the process of designing a torque arm rear end and just wondering what people are using for lower control arm bushes? Its going in a 5t truck, F350 diff. Anyone using the del-sphere joints from Spohn? How would they go on this size truck?

I am looking to build a work/street truck. Ve pumped. Not looking for all out but would like to get all I can while staying streetable, usual dream. Fully loaded the old girl is good for 10000lbs. I have picked up 2 turbos coincidence has put them here as a k29 and a k31. Both bought from the...
