for your boost issues with the T popping off, is the intake you're gonna be running, the special one, still gonna use an elbow? I'd say tap the elbow if ya can or even the manifold maybe. harder for it to pop off i'd think.

Adrian, sounds like the problem you're having is that you're using that stupid plastic T that they send ya with the boost gauge...those are garbage and i will never use one. I only use brass fittings threaded into my intake elbow with compression fittings for a boost gauge.

yes, I'm using the plastic tee, I'm getting a brass one and going with new fitting off manifold. That not that big of a problem, the injectors are the big issue. So I'm going to work on some other things, I wanted the 175/75, but if the injector buider has my 205/150 so be it. At least I can lay down some big numbers with those injectors. I really didn't want to spend so much more money all at once. I have to get HPOP, oil feed system, and a transmission about 4000.00 dollars wroth of upgrades.

UPDATE:::

Talked to my injector guy told him the problem I was having and he has a set of injectors coming in for me. They are the 205/150 injectors and he had them ready for me anyway, so it looks like I'll be running those. One little thing I didn't let anyone in on but will now, these injectors are not what they seem. Then again most of my truck is that way....:D, these injectors are a speical set made for me, they flow 205 and have the 150 nozzle and little extra stuff. They are suppose to idle just like factory, no choppy or eratic idle, nice and smooth. They are also suppose to put some serious fuel for that size. The other thing is a upgraded oil pump is not needed with these injectors, so atleast I get to save alittle now, but do plan on the upgrade. Once I have them in truck, fine tune, and run them for awhile I will let everone know what they are, and my injector guy will be selling them if they are a success. So I will be the tester and with the stage 3, to see what kind of power this combo will make. I have a guess on the power but I will wait till I put down dyno and track numbers before I even say my guess.
I also just started on my other little project for the truck to see what it will do. I will be showing that one too, so I have alot of things going on, and it sould be alot of fun.:hammer:

My 205/150s arent holding icp on an 05+ pump tuning is going to need to be right to get all the useful power out of those injectors.


Shoot me a pm would you Adrian?

wonder if that's because of your 150% nozzles cause i thought i remember Ellerton saying his dually held ICP with the 205/100's he ran on it and that's why he switched from the 225/100's.

update::

Still waiting on injectors, I know I wanted to put truck down, but I love to drive this beast. So I drove it last couple of days,trying not to get on it too much so egt's don't go crazy on me, but I didn't try hard enough. So the other night on way home I went to a closed non public road:)angel:), so anyway I did a boosted launch 2wd and had water meth on. At about 12psi rear tires started to turn and I let it go smashing pedal down. Truck moved about 3feet and tires just started to go up in smoke, so I let off just a little and to get traction and nailed down again. The truck pushed my entire back into the seat and pined me there until I let off at well over 100mph. Egts only hit 1600 and I have noticed that egt are some times higher and lower. So I decided to get a CTS and hook it up to check the HPOP. I might have a weak one and if I do I will getting a pump from diesel site along with the feed system. I will also change all the orings out and then try out truck again before taking injectors out. I also noticed that 32 psi is all I can get and seems to drop 1-2 psi as I drive truck. truck is also smoky, which would also either be injectors or HPOP.

update:::

Truck looked better with the 37" tires, but I now have 35" nitto dune grappler. The tires are making a differance, the truck has really come alive, throttle response on freeway is very fast. Truck did drop about 150 degrees at wot, but still not running 100%. I'm buying a go pro camera so I can take video of drives and runs, I no longer can hold the phone camera to video runs, truck pulls to hard to hold and drive at same time. I can't wait for the new injectors, this truck is going to be a monster. I will be going up to stage4 on later build with the new injectors, and supporting mods to see max amount of power I can make with the new injectors.

I talked him into buying a CTS on Friday to check everything. It should be here Monday and then we'll know whats up. Adrian is old school, he loves his analog gauges. It really took some convincing to get him to go for the CTS, but it worked out in my favor since I'm getting one too. No mo monitoring on the LiveWire for this MOFO, thank you Adrian!

NEWEST UPDATE:::::::::

I remove the injector yesterday, and replaced them with the ones I got from Sheldon at Renegade Diesel Performance. I will send injectors out for flow check for two reasons, first to find out what they are, and second to know if it was injectors or my truck, at this point I don't have a clue. The reason I don't have a clue is that the new injectors are very smokey also.

The new injectors are 200cc/150, and tune was for the 175cc/75. I'm going to get a tune for it tomorrow and try the truck again, to see if smoke clears with a tune for the injectors. I should be getting the Edge cts tomorrow so I will be checking voltage to see if I have a weak oil pump. The truck started good and the idle is smooth as silk, throater, but smooth. I can feel a differance in the truck for the other injectors, but smokes hard.

I took truck out for a drive and hit it a little, transmission flared on me bad. when I changed the injectors I unplugged batteries so truck needs relearn, but since I'm changing tunes, I'll let it relearn then.

I really do think that I have a weak HPOP, truck just isn't running like it should. The cheapo feul system is dropping about 4 psi, has a little rough time keeping up with the injectors.

After I get truck dailed in, and if stage 3 won't clean these injectors then, I'm switching to stage 4. I know that stage 4 will clean them and I should be able to put down big numbers with it. I also need to get the tranny changed, might do that next week, and rear end.

I'll try to get video of truck starting and idling so members can hear it.
I'll keep everyone posted as I get dailed in. Thanks, Adrian

I noticed that with my truck when tuned...ICP voltage will not read any higher than 2.3volts. And PSI will not read any higher than 1520psi. When turned back to stock...both volts and PSI will be much higher. Must be a tune thing with my truck.

Chris, I may be mistaken, but I believe from talking in depth with several tuners, that most tunes read low ICP. The idea is that the tune changes the reading to trick the computer into thinking the pressure needs to be raised, therefore making the HPOP work as hard as possible. Maybe a tuner will chime in, but I think you should always check ICP on the stock tune. Could be wrong though.

checking icp at stock doesnt do anything for when the truck is tuned. reason being,theres alot more oil needed being tuned. especially with aftermarket injs.

the only thing checking hpop at stock will show you, is that there is, or isnt enough oil to run the truck stock.

ive data logged enough modified trucks, that will hold full icp stock,and not,once tuned.
