I read, I think Diesel Power mag, they had a wish list of stuff they would like to see in '10 and one was a mention of a common rail conversion for 7.3 which they said someone was working on. Anyone know anything about this?

Also is injection pressure holding the 7.3 back? Aren't the common rails something like 10000 psi higher then the 7.3?

 

A real problem is that the IDM can't work fast enough to fire the injectors at a higher RPM.

Comparing the HPO system in a HEUI to the fuel pressure in a common rail is like comparing apples to oranges. JMHO

 

hypermax has a kit... Swamps is very close to having theres complete.

Hypermax is only about 12k for the kit... just the kit... No motor work to support it or anything else.

 

mmmm.. common rail injection... Sounds so sexy! I hear that it's on it's way.. I think the idea of a procharger plus turbo set-up derailed the idea for a bit.. but word is it's very close.. if you got the $$$ lying around

 

I would like to see some performance numbers but that is like 8 or 10 ball parks outside my budget.

 

LOL. 12 to 14 outside my buget. For that kind of money I would do a Cummins conversion.

 

The IDM can handle higher RPMs, I believe Kevin Barr (mech181) has his truck tuned to turn 4000 RPM for pulling.

 

I was remembering that post with the light setup and how the IDM would start falling behind.

4000 is pretty damn good for a 7.3, but still a limitation compared to his non-7.3 competition.
