Fuel/ oil questions

Bulletproof7.3 · Jun 19, 2011

Ok so my truck runs just fine right now but could be better. I have a little extra $ to spend so i was thinking about upgrading the fuel system and hpop. Would i see much if any benefit from either with stock injectors and turbo? I was just thinking it might make it run smoother?

anyone that has or is running this same setup?

What do you plan on doing with your truck?

Its always good to do the tank and pickup mods. Have you done intake/exhaust/gauges and tunes?

I like my custom fuel system but I say you would see some power and response from the oil pump but I really didn't notice any difference with the fuel system on stock injectors.

truck is my DD and i plan on leaving it like this honestly. I just thought maybe it would help it run smoother and help the injectors life and be on the safe side for my hpop. just an idea that i stormed up one day lol

Oh i see. Well have you looked into the fuel cross over (riff raff diesel) which connects both heads to the return on the fuel bowl and the high pressure cross over for connecting both sides of the high pressure cavity within the heads? Do you already have an intake and exhaust too?

Yeah have intake, 4 inch down pipe to 5 inch silverline exhaust ported compressor housing. Gauges built trans . Those are all my bigger mods. Looking to get rid of ebpv but don't really wanna take a turbo off again .

What does that fuel system do ?

It just gets rid of the dead end in the fuel supply by letting the fuel run from the opposite ends of the head back to the return. Probably not as good as a full reg return deal but I put one on my stock truck & am pretty happy with it as it gives the air someplace to go besides going thru the injectors. Did make a diff in the injector cackle.

Another thing that will keep your injectors happy is an oil bypass filter. You won't notice anything differently about drivability but oil filtered down to 2 absolute microns has to help with wear on the oil side of the injectors.
