why not turbo diesel
I don't need to dyno, they did that for me. Duh. And I emailed them telling them you all thought they were lying, and they sent me a new graph with torque curves. And you can tell they're real cuz the hp and tq crosses at 5250.

that being said i still believe them.. also somebody said" i dont believe the original poster is makeing 600 hp like they said" that is who this comment is directed towards
in any case, fireo quit trolling my thread .. this was not ment to turn into some dumb arguemnt
but i can tell you these results have been dyno proven on diesel forums many times...
just because i dont care enough to dyno my truck dosent mean that all these major companies havent already backed up their products and that others havent spent time on the dyno with their trucks

Sounds right.

Now all that being said, I couldn't do that without alot of mods to handle the extra fuel. Billet trans for one. But first and foremost was a bigger turbo (SilverBullet64). Diesels don't have to worry about detonation like a gasser. Diesels are compression ignited. Compression and boost is our friend. Heat is the only enemy, and with a stock turbo on any manufacturors truck, there is no way to make 600rwhp without melting some very expensive stuff. Stock turbos are meant for stock fueling. They are a choking point, and as you add more fuel your egt's will skyrocket. Bigger turbo, less restriction, more boost = alot of freakin' power as long as you've got the fuel to burn. I'm flirting with the 12's at a weight of 7740 with me in my truck. Nothing crazy but it's pretty quick for almost 4 tons of iron.
There's alot of guys out there who plug in a programmer that they say adds 300hp and they think they have 600hp. Uh-uh... no sir.... well maybe for a few seconds before they melt their pistons and turn a $12K engine into scrap metal. It happens almost everyday on alot of the sites.
And that's why I'm here.... I'm interested in an easier way for speed (LSX). My truck is a monster, but I know it's limitations. It is fun to keep up with or dust the unsuspecting car on the highway... Usually they pull up next to me with a look of
Im Sure By Now This Thread Is Beat To **** By The Flammers But The Original Point Was Just That I Thought A D-max F-body Would Be A Cool Project With Alot Of Potential
its a bit off topic, but sticking stonking deisel engiens into little hatchbacks (about the size of a mini) is getting popular over here! it all atarted with the VW Golf TDI but there are several pretty cool swap that makes for some very intresting cars! also the deisel engines are dirt cheap and can normal match NA motors for power but smash them on torque. plus with our astronimical fuel prices they save you a few quid to! lol
on swap is a guy putting a golf deisel engine into a lotus 7 style car. prett cool and should be stonking to drive once he has finshed!

thanks Chris.
