I have a F-250, 97 and it has a very unusual engine. Its a MWM diesel 6 cyl, 4.2 liter, 3 valve per cylinder design and its all mecanical with a bosch VE pump. It's been reworked to put out 450 rwhp with twin turbos and a large intercooler. I really don't know about egts but don´t think its an issue with 45psi boost pressure. I really wan't more power mixing ethanol(we have it here at the pump) and water. So, what kit do I need? Will it improove power? How can I buy it? What size injectors do I need? I wanted progressive but boost build up is instantly.

You can go to the store front and order a kit, Just click the devilsown logo to get there. If your boost is pretty much instant then you can go with a boost activated Diesel kit. You'll most likely go with the M12 or M14 nozzle. |

Thanks, for answering. I forgot to mention I'm in Brazil. Here we have 100% ethanol at the pumps on every gas station. I only wanted to make shure what size injectors I would need cause I'm far from you. I'm upgrading the turbos and injectors so I want to secure I don't blow up my daily toy. Reading other topics I saw you recomended two injectors instalation on the cummins 12v wich is similar to what I have only smaller. Also I'd buy the varycontroler if you instruct me how I could generate a 5v signal. Could it be a TPS or Boost sensor? From where I can get the plain 5v? Does your controler provide that? I'd like to purchase a few more injectors so I'd test on a Dyno wich one is the rigth for the set up I have. |

Not trying to take sales away from the boys here but your totally backwards in your thinking... Diesel's want water/methanol to control EGT's & and as a plus a bump in HP. With the injection, we can run hotter tunes, advance our timing further, pour massive amounts of fuel in and not burn up pistons and turbo's... Your first mistake is saying you dont have an EGT probe... this is ABSOLUTELY necessary to preserve turbo life & to tune your engine properly for water/meth. Obviously you dont want the water methanol for EGT control, so perhaps your at the wrong place. The most bang for your buck is going to be Nitrous Oxide. The kits are slightly more expensive... but the HP your gonna pick up is allot bigger then water/methanol is going to net you. Go a bit further, purchase EFI live for your truck and really burn off the back tires. I bet if you install an EGT probe on your truck your going to be surprised at how hot it can run with stock tuning and 45 PSI boost. What type of turbo's are you running? Its just my 2 cents, water/methanol is amazing for guys sled pulling, towing 18 000 pound trailers up mountain passes, running fuel tunes that with out it would turn pistons to butter... It is definately not the first (or 2nd) step in making your truck haul ass!

Nitrous is fun makes more power but that is short lived. | |

There are building blocks towards making your engine go faster... you have to start with the basics before you can proceed. I see water/methanol as a great addition to my truck... its #1 benifit for me, is EGT control... if your not concerned about EGT's... there are other power adding devices that will by far out perform water methanol. Then, when he has added these other things, he will then be able to get the full benifit out of water/methanol.

Oh no arguement on the EGT gauge, Anyone modding a TD should have one. The best set up that is a proving winner is propane/water injection. Propane is just short of nitrous for power adding, is cheaper, last a heck of alot longer, this with other power mods is what most drag TD's are running.

Thanks Dvloc and Sneeze. I tottaly agree with you. It sounds dumb looking for more power without an egt gauge. I'l buy it soon. I do like nitrous a lot, but it's short lasting power. The w/m is a wise choice because you add power and help cool the engine down.The nitrous oxide system I had (100 hp shot) busted my turbos. It accelerates the small turbo to fast and snaped the exhaust rotor off. I will get a progressive kit to solve that problem. I just want to know how much w/m size injector you would suggest. I´m in Brazil and is hard buy stuff from out of the coutry. I need to aime rigth.
