I'm just about to put these in my manual 96, and I'm curious if, or what, overlap there is between tight 3k and loose 4k? Second question, is there overlap between tight stock springs and loose 3k springs? Last question... How many clicks are too many? (6 or 7?) Obviously the more clicks, the less spring travel you'll have, but there must be an acceptable range. Thanks for the great videos and great aftermarket parts!
looks like I'll be the first guy doing a review on it. Can't find one single good video on RU-vid using that turbo. I'll do a sound review too ,5 inch straight pipe. Before and after stock hx35, and then aggressor 64 without a tune, and when I get quad zilla, I'll do it with the tune.
Hey. So I followed your video pretty much to the T and my cummins seems to idle a bit too high. I tried to set the idle lower with the idle adjustment but it will not start. It idles around 850-900RPM warm. Is there any way to get this lower?
What springs did you use? What company did you go with? Some of the cheaper ones arent machined to the exact specs of the factory ones, if you have factory injectors put a bigger injector in itll help drop the idle a bit
I've already upgraded my injectors to 5x.014 and pop tested them and got 191 del. valves and 3/4K gov springs ordered. Still thinking about AFC Live, but have to collect financing first.
Hola tengo un camión y le cuesta levantar vueltas al motor tiene inyección nueva pero me dijeron q puede estar muy ajustado el gobernador de velocidad me puede orientar y ayudar para ver cómo puedo resolver el problema.gracias
I'm only just starting to build my engine and have noticed there is a kind of thin coolant passage between the bottom of the screw in core plugs and the exhaust outlets of the head. Anyone know how hot it might be getting there typically? The operating temperature for loctite 545 is up to 150.0 °C (300.0 °F) is that working temp high enough or should I be looking for another sealant?
My truck is ready to camp. Except for the Compound turbo kit I ordered and paid in full during the Thanksgiving sale in 2022. Still waiting to receive it. And yes my EGT's are still high when I tow. I am Tired of waiting. If I burn my valves I will expect serious discounts on replacement pats. Come on guys it is time to get these compound turbo kits out the door. Tod, Will, are you aware of the massive delay on this kit.
is the 4000 rpm make power up there? it could rev there but is it useable or are you just going to piss the EPA off for no reason and just make it run hot? legit question, not nit picking.
No 4000 rpm is not useable nor will that be your peak power level. The main reason you do 4000 instead of say a 3500 setup is because the pump starts defueling 500 rpm or so before the max rpm. Highest you’ll probably actually rev usably is around 3200-3500.
DV's add power regardless of injector size. Generally the biggest DV's are paired with the biggest injectors simply because the end user is looking for maximum fueling. In testing, mild DV like 055 with stock injectors work great. Aggressive DV like 7mm with stock injectors still works great but a cleaner burn would be a mild DV like 055 mixed with a mild injector like 5x012.
Anybody that puts "patriot" in a product name then proceeds to garnish it with a flag... an eagle... It screams cash grab. My pillow guy level marketing... I'll stick with ARP.
We aren't part of the marketing team at OptiTorque, but our guess is the Patriot line of studs were not created to compete with ARP since they are not in the same price category, but rather, they offer an American Made "cheap" stud to compete with all the new imported studs popping up all over Amazon and Ebay: brand X, brand S, etc.
I did a stupid and broke one stud that holds the springs, drilled it threaded the hole drilled out the broken stud and threaded it also works fine, so far. Did it all with injector pump still on motor
Yes, a 625 is much better fastener but at nearly 4x the price, they should be. Patriot series studs are targeted at the lower cost entry level head stud market.
Loved my extra hp I got from your 7mm valves then #1 delivery valve failed and destroyed my injection pump thank you pdd will be contacting your customer service and seeing what can be done
Shimming the largest outer idle spring taller so that overall preload on the inner springs is reduced will create a stronger idle. Idle spring shims from Bosch are available for purchase from us.
@@powerdrivenproducts7835 idle was strong maybe too strong cause I made no difference if it was at 800 or 1200 rpm. It still would die after putting it in gear. It’s been five months ago so I forget exactly what it was but the governor springs ended up being too tight or too loose.
Ive installed a 95 p pump in place of the old 6.5 that was in my 98 siverado k3500 even only at 160 hp its still funner to drive...3/4k springs are my only mod so far
The plastic pin is probably a safe guard in case you forget to turn it back around, it will break and not likely damage anything. Billet left in pinned position things will probably be damaged $$$. Plastic NOT billet. Make any sense to you?
thanks for this new video i love you guys, when i was doing my gov springs last year and watched your original video i was confused and left with a lot of questions
They aren't "freeze plugs". They are core plugs. And better to have them push out from ice expansion than to have the casting crack, which is likely with threaded plugs. Check your coolant for adequate freeze protection.
Great tip on the idle adjustment, d valves should be here soon and socket behind it. I ordered full cut, truck is stock other than fuel plate and exhaust
