How Much HP Possible?

Bruno2 · May 30, 2011

What is the potential for max HP with a 160cc inj with 80% nozzles.

350-380hp should be expected... Anything above that you're doing good.

Gearhead · May 30, 2011

425-450

2.8hp per cc is possible? Does that apply across the board or just that particular size injector?

400 average, some dynos are stingy and some overgenerous.

Looks like from 350-492hp. My opinion on it is- I would look into the supporting mods on each of the setups using the same size injectors. No two trucks will put out the same hp with the same injector if nothing else is the same....... And some peoples dynos just put out different numbers than everyone else's..........

Sometimes there's a VERY big difference between what a dyno reads and what that truck actually makes for power. I do not think there is any doubt about that

Homesteader · May 30, 2011

So which the best dyno or most accurate?

Short Bus · May 30, 2011

with all the supporting mods i'd expect low to mid 400's tops.

Gearhead · May 30, 2011

It depends on the truck and the charger really.... if you aren't seeing a bunch of drive pressure then 450, if you are running the stock charger 400 if you are lucky.

TARM · May 30, 2011

400 on a stock charger. Och that is one unhappy turbo LOL

Bruno2 · May 30, 2011

I am running the D66 turbo. Something is keeping me from making more power. I still have the stock 15. I just cant see the oil making another 50-60 hp though.

After I tested out the ADR on my old truck, I can.

what they said, beans told me my set up was there basic 440hp package and that they had numerous trucks running the exact thing and made from 420hp to 450hp..... we live tuned mine on the dyno. they said mine was a freak and had no idea why it made 40-50 more hp than the others....

Its the dieselsite boots and aih delete! LOL

lincolnlocker · May 31, 2011

they even called casserly and asked what the magic nut juice is that they used on my injectors, it was funny i heard the phone conversation! cass even thought he messed up and gave me 238s but the tunning was consistent as every other stage2 setup..... like i said not probable, but possible!!!

TARM · Jun 1, 2011

Didn't you guysbhave a flow sheet on them? If so didnthey flow anything outside the norm? I would think any magic would end up showing in the flow data as if you are talking about a typical nozzle the flow/time should tell the tale would it not? Unless there is something different about your motor. Maybe the cam installed with degree advanced a bit more? It would be interesting to see what those injectors flow compared to the standard.

lincolnlocker · Jun 1, 2011

cass said mine are normal

TARM · Jun 1, 2011

Then it has to be something else. I know the degree you install a cam in can effect the power in carbed big block gassers but no experience at all with its effect in these diesels. But Matt has mentioned it to me briefly.
