Truckers, lets see your rigs!

Any thoughts?

Not without changing the complete rotating assembly is that possible. Jfaulkner will confirm but I don't think the older injector quite match an acert piston bowl either, and the 16:1 pistons that you would want to use are still fairly difficult to find.

Correct, not going to happen without changing rods/crank. Spray pattern is off too, Acerts will work in older engines but not the other way around.

We got 16:1's by the bushel. Lmao

You finally start getting them or are these the fixed ones?

Cutting new 18:1's. 16:1 Pistons bare from cat were as rare as unicorn farts. Never be able to find a kit with them.

Looks like there are 4 at the Clayton warehouse and 8 at the Morton warehouse, I only had it check on 12 of them.

Will the 18:1 be going in an ACERT or a single charger engine? Why a higher compression ratio? Steel or aluminum?

They are being cut down to match the 16:1 piston, they are steel monotherms.

What kinda mileage can a guy logically see out of a big cam?

5.5-6 isn't out of the question but realistically high 4s low 5s is probably closer depending on how it is setup as well as the truck.

I had figured 5 was about what a guy needed to figure on paper.

18:1 is stock acert, we're having them CNC'd to match factory genset 16:1.

Can I run MXS injectors in a 5EK

That isn't terrible.

yes, they're close to a 58 power wise so depending on what serial 5EK they could be more or less power than you have now.

What's to know? Single conversion and pdi tune is the only way to go.
