6.9L Diesel Build

[RamRod]

I have a 85 ford f250 and I am thinking of building this 6.9L engine for sled pulls. Has any one ever build on of these engines for max power, and if so do you have any dyno #

[SUPERF350]

I'm tryin to build one, it's just a slow process. Especially since I got an 05 that I keep spending money on to mod! I figure my 6.9 will be a one hit wonder. She's either gonna go or blow! :popc1:

Ken at http://www.dps-performance.com/ built a high HP 6.9 with a few pulls under its belt. He's real knowledgeable about IDI's but hard to get a hold of.

Ken is extremely hard to get a hold of. So if you do get a hold of him, have a list of questions to be ready to ask.

I had Ken rebuild my injection pump. Wow what a pump!!! I finally built a cold air intake and have now run out of fuel (since I'm pumping so much air), so back to the drawing board to get more fuel through it.

[Godzilla Jr]

Which rebuild did you get? Hi Perf- Calibrated?
Did you get matching injectors?

Chriss

[TurboYT]

Yes he sent out a match set of injectors as well. Did you run the Dyno at the 3rd anniversary? If you did what where the numbers?

This last weekend hooked bumper to bumper to a DMAX and WON!!!!!! put the old girl in 4 wheel low 2 gear and let her buck gust love those 4.10s Afterwords my budys excuses were flying but my personal favorite was he didn't have his chip on. What could I say to that but smile. My old truck is a 85 with HD front axil 4 speed manual trans 6.9 with 235,000 and the spedometer has not worked sence may of 1998. I have a new dodge cummins (scared of the 6.0) But this old ford is the one I will never sell and someday restore

RamRod,

I know what you mean. Take a look at my pics. Mine was pretty beat up and is now starting to shine again. And I still get 18+ mpg. Not many 1 ton trucks can say that.

[Godzilla Jr]

Ramrod = :appl: :yay:

Turbo = Did 194 hp w/stock injectors and maxed out stock pump.

[TurboYT]

Wow 194 isn't bad at all. Who won the IDI most HP on the DYNO?

Who won the IDI most HP on the DYNO?

IDI
199 H/P GodzillaJr

I am going to build a high HP IDI. I will get my rods and pistons, head studs from DPS. A local injection pump shop says they can get the pump I have up to 300cc's per shot. How is that in comparison to what Ken does up there at DPS?

I am going to run 18-1 compression. the truck I have is a 93 f350 reg cab single wheel. I just picked it up. My only interest when buying it was to yank the motor out lower the compression and turn out some hp #'s some ware in the 400HP range. I do plan on sledpulling.

So what are some of you guys running for compression, HP & boost with your IDI's??

hmm ill dyno my truck next time i get a chance i bet i have a lil more than 199. Especially when i get the intercooler all hooked up.
I think im going to have a custom pupm built and get some injectors soon but my car is taking all of my money right now. The highest egt ive seen is 1300 on the floor 2 rhinos and 2 quads on a heavy ass trailer. I only held it there for less than a minute but it took a long time to get there on a extremly hot day.
