It's been fun watching your journey with the VE trucks. I remember back in 2000 or so watching the hp wars with the ve. I remember breaking 300, 350, 400 then when you blew the internet up with the 600 plus pull. The early 2000's were the best times for diesel enthusiasts I think.

Hardly any aftermarket parts available back in those days. You really had to work with the stock stuff and modify it to make it do what it wasn't supposed to do. The crew cab is a much more refined 400+hp than old yellow was. The smoke level and driving manners are much more like a new truck with good throttle response and no idle haze. Old Yellow will be making a comeback though. 🙂

Well done Brian....lots of HP without having to get hp to buy it.

I put the s300G on my 89 several years ago. I am at 300 hp to the wheels but have the 727 so that is not bad. Pretty close to runaway with the stock non ic sticks. That is not a horrid price. I paid about a grand for mine long ago. I am on the original head gasket, and bolts so I don't push it any harder. Pretty fun at the power it has. I put the 99 all aluminum power stroke intercooler in at the same time.

great video, thanks for the good info, I'm going to bump mine up a bit, maybe not 400 lol

Well you can folly the same recipe and just don’t turn the fuel screw in as far. It would be just as happy making 300hp as 400hp.

Awesome work. Not everyone is willing to go in depth about what's needed. One day I'll build another one. But, I enjoy generation 2 just a bit more.

I bet that truck feels pretty snappy with a trailer hooked up.. great setup..

Whoa, 235 extra bolt on horsepower 😮 oh my God Way cool 😎

O ya, and I paid big money for the " Stans exhaust " kit many moons ago, before diamond eye started producing half price kits. Stans was the only 4 inch back exhaust in the late 90's when I started hoppin up the 89.

Kentucky windage and elevation for the win. Blessings

Do you have any tricks to keep the little fuel pin that rides against the AFC fuel pin from sticking. Mine starts sticking once the motor gets up to full temp, when the motor is still cold it seems fine. I’ve taken it apart and tried several types of grease and oils on the pin. After a couple thousand miles it starts sticking again. I can tell because the truck will make 35lbs of boost fairly easily when it’s free, when it’s sticking it only builds about 20lbs, unless you put it to the floor. Thanks

What are your egt's with this set up?Is towing going to make it super hot? Please and thank you

I had literally just unhooked from my dual tandem gooseneck before dynoing and that is 16000lbs between my truck and trailer. I regularly gross mid 20k and do fine, I probably can sustain low to mid 300rwhp levels and keep egts in check. At full kill and 3300rpm it’s like 1800f though so it would not live there long.

Hi Brian, I have an Automatic 93 Dodge 4x4, which Turbo would you recommend, it is a stock truck with upgraded Bd exhaust manifold, upgraded Ve pump and a above stock rebuilt transmission, no upgrades to the head bolts. And what brand of oil do you use? Thank you!

@bcbloc02

If you don’t have injectors the stock turbo will be just fine. If it still has the 18 or 21cm exhaust housing on it changing to a 12 will make it drive WAY better. Oh and I have used Deere 15w40 oil for years in all my vehicles. It is good stuff.

Hello Sir, I really want to do this recipe to mine just wondering if the power jet pdd injectors you bought were second gen ones that you adapted because on the website the power jets are all second gen. Also I really want the 300g but my buddy has a hx 35 w/ exhaust brake for 700. Do you think it will be ok?

@bcbloc02

Ай бұрын

It depends on your ultimate power goal. An hx35-12 is an excellent choice for 350rwhp and under. If you want to crank the pump up to that 400+rwhp range its going to be really high on egts. I found the VE powerjets on PDD website no problem. They list 3 stages I recommend the 2's. The 3 gives a touch more power but with noticeably more smoke for the limited gain I don't think it is really worth it.

@@Wjones450 I was envolved with some of the Jdq testing several years ago before the plus 50 2 came out and I can say the Deere oil is impossible to beat for the price in an engine that is run hard especially if you take advantage of its extended drain interval. If you run rotella you better change it twice as often like Deere recommends because it won’t last like the Deere oil. I have seen it on the dyno and in the oilscan results.

Yes it appears to be a scam along the lines of the achates deal. There has been testing similar performed on aerodynamic mods to diesel pistons in sae papers. Their results were more in the -4 to 7% range for fuel improvements. Combustion dynamics is still to this day a complicated thing best proven out by imperial testing. Computer models still struggle with accurate prediction Any gains seen with these pistons likely come from other proven techniques that they employ like thermal and friction coatings along with ring changes for better cylinder sealing more so than from the dimples themselves.
