Jeremiah, thanks for the link, I remember that thread as one of the very first ones I ever read after joining this forum....and I recall saying: "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKEN ABOUT /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif!" I didn't know injector mods from a spare tire then, even though I'd been around diesels (heavy equip) my entire life.

Wow, have things changed in little less than three years....

Ya that's some pretty cool stuff.

Reading that, scratching your head in confusion, kinda makes you have to respect how much these guys know and the patience it must take.

Swamp: Also, I wasn't planning on getting into the injector business--I figure that there really isn't a big market, because of the price, and I figure that the prices are high because its expensive, not because the companies are raking in the $$$. My idea is to make this knowledge public so people can do it themselves for $300-$500 (?), rather than paying $1,000-$2,500.
However, if for some reason I find I can do it significantly cheaper and still make a fair profit, I might do them!

you should read his post where he rebuilt his engine, something like $9k worth of stuff, ceramic coated everything, then had to take a lot of it off after his engine locked up... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

Its funny how back in those days we talked about injectors like they were Taboo or some kind of black magic voodoo stuff. Now with all the advancements these guys have helped us understand we do a set of injectors like we were rotating tires........ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

At some point the quantity of oil required to move the piston these increased distances will exceed the high pressure oil pump's capacity, and many people with stage 2 injectors have had to change to the 1999+ hp oil pumps which have higher flow rates. A 6mm piston stroke will require 28,992 cc (7.52 gal) of oil per minute at 3,000 rpm. If anyone knows the output specs of the stock pump, please let me know.
Now comes the get in, sit down, shut up and hold on part!
In the Northern Hydraulics catalog are 13 different hydraulic pumps capable flowing over 7.5 gpm at 3,000 psi or more, with prices ranging from $137 for just a pump to $309 for one with a belt-driven electric clutch. The solution? Mount a belt-driven pump with an electric clutch on the engine with the inlet plumbed to either the oil pan or the existing high pressure pump's reservoir and the outlet plumbed into the spare ports in the cylinder head oil rails. Use a boost switch to engage the clutch, and it will only run when you need the extra oil flow. The cost? I figure under $600.
WOW! Is that killer, or what?? Makes my spine tingle! (If only my pay check could keep up with my imagination.)

Ya, I know someone that tried the belt, didn't work to well. Besides there are better options already, that work great! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif
