Injector suggestions?
#46
My guess is that there's a tiny issue somewhere that hasn't been found or it's just craving more air which is why I got Glenn to do some updates to his existing turbo awhile back to see if it helps at all. Live tuning may help it a bit and it should, but I have this feeling that he's working his truck harder than any of the rest of us and that's why the 66 falls a little short for him, but not everyone else. If that's the case, he needs to force more air down it's throat.

I was thinking more along the lines of an S300 67mm FMW.. such an animal does exist now. It didn't exist when Glenn got his turbo or else I would have tried to push him towards that from the start...

So Live tuning I am sure will help, but regardless the Stage-2's move a LOT of fuel quickly and very, very good tow tunes are required to be able to keep temps in check. I never recommend Stage-2 injectors for a truck that will be towing heavy. If the customer insists then I try and push to get Live tuning. The difference will be amazing if everything in the truck is working correctly.
A few years back I sent Bill at PHP a set of 350/400% that he put in his stock Excursion (if I recall correctly) and he drove around for a couple months live tuning it. He was rather impressed how well he got them to run, smoke free and all. But he said forget about trying to tow with them.
My point is just about any injector can be tuned back, but there are limits to what tuning can do.
I think if I was Glenn, I'd probably run 160/30% or 200/30% with the 366 and Live tuning and have an awesome towing machine.
In fact I have a set of 200/30% I will be swapping into my '96 (which has a 38R) and pulling the Stage-2 as I am trying to make decent power with no smoke. Even the Stage-2's on a low tow tune smoke more than I like, yet have all the power I need or want for a daily driver. So we'll see.

I won't argue too much Travis, but some. If you see what Jim said and go a little deeper. You are dumping the same amount of fuel, but faster. Ya gotta "burn" that, so more fuel = more heat. You need a real good tow tune to make 2's work, well my ones work pretty darn good and I'm in my extreme tune towing a 48' 17k wall, not fighting egt's. Just sayin. I've actually never even tried a tow tune. My ones spray the same amount of fuel, but not as fast, so there is not as much heat at once.
Mine works real well, but live tuning would always be nice. However, I don't see that happening too soon where I live. I'm thinking I can get even better with some datalogging on my AE and sending my results in and get tunes updated for the hydra. That emailing tunes is nice.

Glad I carry extra parts with me for the truck and satellite! I got drowned by 4" of rain the other night and my satellite quit. Being out in the middle of nowhere now where there isn't even cell phone reception can be a little frightening for a FTE addict. Replaced my transmitter and I'm online just in time to hear my name being thrown around, LOL
The other day I was against 40mph head winds and went thru 6 gallons of water in 100 miles but I did pretty good EGT wise. But, I have better things to do then fill that container all the time. All this talk is right up my alley and is very interesting, thanks guys. I have to figure out when to make my appointment for live tuning! Next winter s367 and I's, huh?

It sounds like we need to build you a bigger tank! (I work at a tank shop.) That's a lot of water for not too many miles.
