Hello this is my first post and been a long fan of the cummins new to this forum and figured id introduce myself. i just acquired a 1990 1st gen d250 with a nv4500 swapped into it. its 2wd and non intercooled bone stock and very clean frame still has factory marks and black paint no rust. starting parts aquisition have been diesel mechanic for 8 years and know my way around a thing or two. have idea of what im going for in mind and wanted to run it past some of you good folks that have some pretty great threads on this forum.
Goal out of truck is 800-1000 hp range.
First thing im attending to is air flow and temperatures of things first install parts as follows:
Snow Performance Water Meth Kit Stage 3
Stuck Between Searco intercooler and banks technicooler up for suggestions(goal 80-90 PSI boost eventually) needs to hold up to high psi
3 piece Either HTT Exh manifold or ATS Exh manifold Sugg?
New intake to move inlet from over engine to down driver side for intercooler piping
Air Dog 150Gph lift pump with dual filter and regulator
Hamilton cam Agressive 188/220 or hamilton Cam Puller 200/220
60LB HD Valve Springs
Billet valve retainers
Hamilton Extreme Duty Push Rods
Oversize fuel lines from pump to nozzles
also biggest thing i want personal input on is compound setup i have done lots of reading on this forum on the subject and would like some input on these setups and any recs regarding? old school hx35/ht3b or S362/S475 or like a ats twin setup? price isnt concern just final outcome dont want cheap parts needs to last dd
Full fire ring set on block and head 14mm ARP head studs
Port polished head
Desert Radiator High Capacity
Billet rebuild and upgraded internals of NV4500 once time comes already has south bend clutch never an issue with contact
Also ARB Air locker for Rear Diff with 3.73 Gears
Ve pump will be built once all parts aquired and build starts. if it cant hang p pump will be installed.
she will be a sleeper street queen to an extent:hehe:
also was wondering about NOS setups? never really messed around with nitrous on a diesel only gas so is do you get your bag for your buck or is propane or cng better?
Im sure i forgot a couple things but will address later got the just out there. First High HP Build up from ground so wanna make sure im on the right path from get go ya know? Any thing worth doing worth doing right the first time.
Thank you all in advance look forward to responses.
Also Fabrication wiring etc not a problem
