yea me too. i think i might sell the ones off my truck and give the buyer option to have them machined first that way its not a gamble.
i didnt want to have the down time so im getting every thing up front |
Wish I had the cash to build mine up like you are man... Ive got enough boost to satisfy me for now though.
|
its all about planning haha. its now or never for me since were buying a house this summer haha.
|
Thats my probem.. I already have a house, and lookin to build a second. no free cash for the truck.
|
yup. all the extra money will go to that after this is done.
|
Ill have mine built up bigger and faster than yours.... in about 20 years ha ha
|
Lulz at 20 yrs. you could get a 6.7 for cheap by then
|
Shyeah.. Our trucks will be classics by then.

Strictly diesel Fuel pressure adapter setup
http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/t...S/03b26ebe.jpg thing i cant use it after the studs so it might be for sale soon |
What brand gauge you running for fuel psi?
I have glowshift....they are so so. seems like my fuel psi reads good for about 6 months, then starts to read high and slowly creeps higher, sender keeps going bad, been through 3 sending units now and it starting again! But you get what you pay for! I bought them cause they were cheap, and now I am paying for it! Saving up now for the edge eas so I can read it with my cts. |
Got a glow shift black 7 color from a buddy for 40 bucks. I will be going with a quad or triple pillar of isspro ev2's later but for now this will do.
Couldn't bring myself to drop 200 on the edge setup plus I like the look of the pillar gauges. |
Pillar gauges FTW!!
|
I love pillar gauges too, I currently have a quad pod with egt, water temp, oil temp, and fuel psi. But I could never get the water and oil temp gauges to read correctly. I have tried several different locations but just cant get it right. I was really want to check the deltas between water and oil temp to see if my oil cooler was ok or not so I finaly splurged for the insight cts.
The glowshift gauge will be good for ya, if it starts reading funky just give em a call. They have great customer service. And even if you need a new sending unit its only like $15. I love the look of their gauges, just wish the sensors were better quality....but great customer service helps! |
dont get me wrong i love my insight cts but i need a more visible boost gauge and one thats not being fooled by the computer/tune.
wanted at least fuel press and boost so i said ill get a triple at least and add HPOP snapped a pic of the gauge mocked up in the pod. the dash holds the pod on there pretty tight and had to make sure the gauge would clear the steering wheel. http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/t...S/9af80138.jpg |
Y U NO Have steering wheel cover :yuno:
|
lawl the steering wheel has been on its way out for a while now and i said F it. one of these days ill drop the money on replacing it but i tried a cover when i first got it and the generic ones at autozone etc were too small.
|
Installed the fuel pressure gauge Saturday morning and it was very simple actually. And thanks to ford for running wires through the firewall and leaving both ends free only have one wires passing through the firewall and easily disconnected on the other side.
Pressure never got. Below 60 psi. And I also loaded my geadhead srl+ tune that's got more boost than the srl I was running. Playing the game of how long till I can lift the heads hahaa http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/t...S/6c353bea.jpg |
psi looks good. When I first put mine on last year it was 50 at idle and would drop below 40 at WOT!! So I did the blue spring upgrade and it has bee. Right at 72 at idle, and will drop to 55ish at wot running my looney tune. Seems to be a bit low still at WOT to me.
|
Yea this is with the blue spring installed. Haven't gone really WOT yet as its not exactly safe with this tune haha. Didn't want to lift the Rafa just yet haha. But tells me that the stock pump is good for now and I can hold off on the a1000

You bet. Especially since we're gonna be buying a house sooner than we were expecting to but it'll be nice to have a place to keep my stuff hah
|
Looks good jake....I gotta get some gauges in mine.....
|
|
lawl. i think i might do a triple overhead pod instead of a pillar possibly.
|
The one up by the mirror? Those are pretty slick.
|
them around the instrument cluster look dope
|
Yea above the mirror. I think it might look clean and it'll let me keep my a pillar handle also.
I like the ones that they have for by the cluster but it cuts off the gas gauge etc. |
Updates!!!!!! truck is going in next week. heads will be back in my possesion on monday and i ordered a bunch of my fuel system parts hoses and fittings today.
finally got it all lined out and going to draw it up to make sure it all come in right. have three orders with jegs today along with one at summit haha. getting one of these, thinking green hahah http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/a...-54-11_885.jpg got these in a few weeks ago http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/t...S/80289b2e.jpg last things ill need to get is a fuel filter and base from Cat and napa and then order the new tune. |
