I'm not picking a fight, I'm just trying to add fact about the piston/squirter debate. I just know what I have in my hands. I totally agree with you though on these engines being a hodge podge of LDS and LDT parts. I'll also be with you on the last statement of "install a pyro and boost...

Sorry, but I can't agree with you on your "everyone can agree" on statement. In my hands on experience, I removed pistons from an LDT engine with FOUR rings. I used a LDS piston liner kit (NOS), those pistons had three rings. The LDT engine had oil squirters as well. Although, the liner kit...

That is very much correct. However diesel engines lack a butterfly throttle, so stoichiometric fuel mixture is never sustained during normal operation. Compression ignited engines swing from rich burn to lean burn without issue. The burn condition is determined by engine load and fueling. It...

Fuel ratios, fuel rail, upping the boost. Sounds like someone is going off half cocked and misinformed/mixing facts. Diesel engines don't have fuel to air mixture ratios. They adjust power and rpms by the fuel delivery amount and duration. These engines are a rotary pump. Not a common rail...

Oh yes, I'm not denying there's power to be made, but the original intent was to clear up emissions. There's just not the same punch to be packed as a modern MATCHED turbo. I know I instantly loose 100hp or more when I blow an intercooler boot on my dodge. LOL

I don't have specs on any of the turbos, but there are certainly differences between the C and D turbos the LDT's have and the wastegated LDS turbos. The turbos weren't added for power on these trucks. They were added to clear up some of the smoke.

Having owned a few LDT and LDS engines, I can tell you what I've found. LDS's have a different turbo (wastegated), less piston rings (3 rings vs 4 rings on the LDT), two port oil squirters, two port injectors, and the LDS injection pump. I've had the LDT engine apart in my deuce. I installed...
