THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Yeah, the only nice thing about the multifuel is that they run on anything, and I'm pretty sure mine's had the fuel compensator removed already.

I completely agree, no sense in blowing money on putting in another shite motor. I'm hoping to find a 300 or 330hp 2500rpm rev limited cummins 8.3 for it, but won't have any money for something stupid like that till quite a while from now.

There was a complete 8.3 truck for sale on FB a little while ago for $1500 I believe. From the cab back was just bare frame rails, perfect for a swap candidate.

You were supposed to use srt4 injectors
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Fartsmello, try spraying the boost hoses down with soapy water or simple green or anything that will bubble and then running the truck. Ive heard of a lot of those having pin holes in the hoses you'd never see, but will blow the boost right out. If the truck doesn't see boost it won't deliver as much fuel(duh) but that might be why unplugging the MAP sensor makes a difference, it could be defaulting to a rich mixture. You roll coal now bro? Is it intercooled? Any holes in the charge air cooler? Spray that down too when you run it.

Completely different animal, your injectors are not oil fired and go directly into the combustion chamber. Its the same reason a diesel gets huge power from a tuner, and a car gets a few hp.

Get a Subaru. You'll be getting a much more reliable car for your money if you plan on spending less than $3k. Any 2.2 5 spd will run forever and get you 30mpg.

There are a million 8.3s but most don't have the 2500 rev limit or 300hp. Those are harder to find without spending lots of money. 300hp isn't needed but it will still be painfully slow if I don't get the high rpm limit.

I almost got an 8v92 silver a while ago horse trading but then realized id have to cut the frame rails, entire grille/rad, and fenders out to fit it. Other problem is DDs are 2 stroke and really slow rev wise and id be limited to some obscenely low speed without a double over tranny or something.

So i get to spend the day hoisting sections of chimneys into place. And its at a cemetery place. And its for the big furnaces they have. And its not for heat either. I lift the strangest stuff sometimes.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Ken, the only logically swap is to just grab a p-pump 12v then. Hell get a p-pump 8.3 and you can do whatever you want to it. No need to worry about the rev limiter, its all easily changed around. I bet even a 5.9 would be fine, couple little tweaks and it'll be at 300hp no problem.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I don't really want a juiced up motor, I want a stock one that is bulletproof at that power level. The last thing I need or want is a mildly unreliable replacement motor for my current mildly unreliable motor.

5.9s are in high demand, everyone knows what they're worth on craigslist, etc. I've got no idea what my plan for getting an 8.3 is at this point since I have probably 6-8 months at least before I can even think about spending that kind of money, but it probably involves auctions and a smashed up RV.
