[QUOTE="Muskrat, post: 1428155, member: 23495"] I've been flip flopping back and forth, constantly finding or learning something new in my quest to improve my 7.3. This means I don't know exactly what I'm doing, so it's time to seek help. My goals are modest. It's an E99 ECLB with 223K and currently the original stock parts work flawlessly. She passes all the basic tests with flying colors and I've spent the last year ensuring that all maintenance and minor mechanical issues are resolved (i.e. fluids, fuel strainers, EBP tube, fuel heater, ICP, CPS...). Last January I installed a DP Infinity with 80E & 40T but mostly to monitor, also has dual EGT probes. Now I've noticed the up pipes are leaking and that's not a cheap fix so it's time to start planning. Almost everything I've read basically say's "convert to L99 parts and don't look back". But there's a lot of dated 7.3l info floating around the internet and an L99 swap will set me back $1,500-$2,600 for zero gain. My goals are modest, I don't tow much or heavy, I don't race, drive like madman, or compete in anyway. 350-400hp sounds like plenty to me. Most important is driveability, reliability, efficiency and longevity in that order. The stock E99 fails in driveability unless you like that 80's school bus feel. Oh, and I don't have a ton of money to play with either. This will have to be a step by step process. So here's where I need help, this is the order I plan to buy and install (Unless something gives up sooner); RiffRaff E99 up pipes [url]http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/riffraff-diesel-bellowed-up-pipe-kit-94-early-99/[/url] T500 HPOP or similar based on price and reputation. FFD 160cc maybe 165cc injectors. I'm not opposed to Rosewood or others as long as they last. But which nozzle for my goals, not just max power but characteristics as well? I understand what the size does but don't have experience to know what will have driveability and longevity for my engine. It seems some cc/nozzle combos work better than others for different tuners. DP Tuners only shows a fraction of whats available, is there a reason? KC Turbo 38R E99 drop in (when/if is comes out) [url]https://kcturbos.net/collections/new-products/products/94-98-obs-kc-tp38r-turbo[/url] Will is lag? I don't care for crazy top end power, I want low to mid power. OR Dieselsites E99 drop in [url]https://swampsdiesel.com/products/dieselsite-wicked-ball-bearing-turbo-early-1999/[/url] Thanks in advance Muskrat [/QUOTE]
