My Build....Finally!!!

08PowerSmoke · Jul 25, 2013

Just getting around to putting my build on the forum.......I have a 2008 rclb and still have a little more to do but:

STAGE 1<----GETTING DONE NOW

5" MRPB exhaust
4" Downpipe
AFE intake w/ Elite tube
Spartan tuner
ARP head studs
OEM gaskets
EDE valve springs
EDE push rods
EDE EGR delete
Rockers and arms were replaced
No Limit cold side pipe
DieselSite boots
Tow power X 76/59mm turbo's
Dirty Diesel exhaust manifolds
HPFP has been replaced
Air dog LPFP w/ upgrade
Ported fuel rails
RCD intake manifold

STAGE 2 <----NEXT MONTH I HOPE

dual pumps
60hp maybe 85hp nozzles
No Limit intake
Livewire w/ Gearhead tunes
Built transmission

What does everyone think? I am sure I forgot something....YES I didn't get pistons done and I will probably regret it. I will eventually have High Powers but this will do for now.

NOW MY QUESTION: I put a new HPFP in stock location. Would you use the "old" pump for #2? It had 110,000 miles on it! IF it goes will it mess up my new pump and nozzles?

Any help and feedback will be appreciated.....

Get a new pump. Dont take any chances.
Nice build BTW! You are going to love it!

smart move on the intake change. Elite saw 11hp gain with mine vs the AFE upgrade they offer. and yes use old pump up front if you're confident in it. its easy to swap but if it fails and contaminates the system , its all a $hitstorm . i personally wouldnt chance it at this point !

Looks like a really strong build !! You will deffintly be all smiles !! Im pretty sure i seen a brand new set of coated international pistons in the forsale section !! Lol

I'm looking forward to hearing how those Tow X's do. Great build.

FordPSD64 · Jul 29, 2013

should be a pretty nice set up! youll love those tow x's

STROKIN N STYLE · Jul 29, 2013

Gonna be a nice set up!!

I call the towx's when you upgrade to high powers!!

08PowerSmoke · Jul 30, 2013

Well.....Good thing about the tow power X's is it comes with the 76mm from the high powers so all I need is the 62mm VGT valve cover and other lines etc to upgrade.....

I think it will run good I have one thing going for me its light weight.....I will have pics up soon I hope!

They are the exact same atmo turbo? Are they back to billet wheel on it?

the high powers have the precision and the jr's have the modified stocker

Originally the wheel on the X was billet, then went to cast and I haven't kept up with it lately. Are they back to billet?

webb06 · Jul 30, 2013

the wheel on the high power atmo is different than the tow x atmo. same size though

08PowerSmoke · Jul 30, 2013

Yep I have the Precision 76mm not the Jr's.......I looked on Elites website they don't have the Tow Power X's on there. Go under the Atmosphere section and its there but I have a Factory 59mm VGT hooked to it.

Its the ones like Corbin had the first time around!!!
