Alright, now you can start turning your fuel up. Never a good idea to do tuning with bad components in the system.
I can't remember at the moment if the MW pump has a fuel plate like the P7100 does ( it's very late and I'm very tired), but that's where I'd start.
You could, but the only benefit there is if you have an engine that consumes enough fuel that you need larger feed hose and dual inlet ports to the injection pump, along with a much higher performance fuel supply ( lift) pump.
There is no conceivable instance where anyone would benefit from...
Basically it's the whole banjo bolt that connects the fuel return line to the injection pump. It has a small wire spring in it and a ball bearing and seat that act as a pressure relief valve. They're very susceptible to corrosion and wear. This bleeds off internal fuel feed pressure in the pump...
Turbo flange gasket on my 936 is blown out too. Apparently it got loose and I didn't catch it in time. Of course nobody can look up a simple gasket without an engine serial number.... Morons...
So I guess what I'm asking here is: is it even worth going to the HX50 and bumping up the fuel, maybe stepping up to larger injectors if I don't go intercooled? I need sustained usable power.
But then again, more air and more fuel make for higher EGTs, so at some point an intercooler will become a must, especially in my case (wrecker) so that I don't melt a motor down. I need to be able to harness the extra power gained without having to take my foot out of it halfway up every hill.
For more accurate (and useful) readings, the probe should have been installed pre-turbo. You want to see the egt before it gets to the turbo so you know it isn't going to melt anything. Post turbo temps just show you high egt too late.
WM, I'm telling you man, I have over thirty of these trucks in my field right now that I keep running and I go through this daily. Only way to get it done is to push fuel from the tanks up.
Crack open the bleeder on the IP and put some air pressure to whichever tank it is set to draw fuel from. I have a fuel cap with a schrader valve on it for this because these trucks have such notoriously crappy fuel systems. Pressurize the tank until fuel drips out on the ground from the bleeder...
