to add nozzles or not to?

94forddiesel · Jul 23, 2013

well cylinder 1 decided to leave so im about to pull the engine out and see what i get to replace gonna do headstuds and prob coated pistions was just wondering if i should add some nozzles while im in there or just go for some air upgrades? i dont have the funds to add dual fuelers so im just seeing what my best option would be. i would like somewhere around 650-750hp any input would be awesome thanks guys

If you are on a limited budget that won't allow dual pumps, I would do a 71 or 72 turbo, valve springs and push rods IMHO. Hope the tear down doesn't reveal anything unexpected.

Where did the cylinder go?? JK Good luck with the rebuild.

If you're not going with dual fuelers I would not do nozzles. There's been some speculation in this but elite has tested nozzles with stock pumps and JD actually lost power. I would go with the 72atmo charger instead and that will get you probably pretty close to that 700 mark

What these guys said ^

You wouldn't gain anything with nozzles.

I think most will agree on this. If you dont have a modded hpfp or duals i wouldnt waste my time or money.

From what I have gathered from a lot of the guys who know a ton about these 6.4's, they push a lot of fuel in stock form. So its more bennificial to add air before fuel.

These trucks fuel pretty hard stock. With the help of a Vgt you can run pretty good sized hp chargers and won't notice hardly any difference in lag as well

thanks for the input guys, and hd 250 i was also thinking the same with the pushrods and springs that sounds good any extra money i have once the engine is back together i will focus on chargers! not that i have the money but man some tow power x's would be sweet:naughty:

If your planning to run a big tune all the time, an upgraded lpfp is probably a good idea also, if you havnt already. Some say it will help prolong the life of your hpfp.

yeah i was thinking that would be a good idea. i noticed you had batmowheel in your hp did you notice a difference or

I'm currently running batmos in both turbos, 72mm is on the way. I installed both batmos at the same time so I can't say if just the HP made much difference. Honestly I'd put that $400 In the kitty towards an upgraded Vgt.

Yeah I looked for almost a year to find mine. The 5R is a good trans but I still like the ZF-6. Its hard to pass up a good deal on one of these trucks too!:fordoval:
