    I did exactly that - BW turbo, Full tilt manifold and a tune - runs a lot better now.

    I still like the N14 better, but it did improve performance.

    Do you have to have facebook to view it? It'd be good to look at and gain some knowledge for myself.

    The best place to start is with a 14L HK DDEC 4.

    If that's not possible (because they're extremely rare), and you want to build huge power, the best best thing is to take a DDEC 5 block, crank, rods, pistons and put a DDEC 3/4 head on it with a DDEC 4 ECM. Then you can use the larger N2 injectors and, if you want, a marine cam.
     
    86coe, spsauerland, swaan and 2 others Thank this.

    That’s what I’m thinking, why not add the wristpin Oiler tubes when it’s OH. Whatever’s involved, can’t be much.

    Don't think mine is drilled for piston Oilers since it's a 96 model

    I was thinking about 750 to 800 horse to the ground. Can't do that reliably without piston Oilers and run it every day. I know for a fact that I can make 750 reliably from a 14 litre electronic engine with a good tuner and the right combination of parts if I did over 600hp and 2000tq with a 79 model big cam 1 and worked it every day.

    Anyone know if 14 litre intake, exhaust, and injector roller setup will work on a 12.7? Im going to throw a cam and injectors in my 12.7 and need rollers since I've got 1 bad and the rest have a lot of wear on them. I've got a 14 litre close by that was wrecked I could get parts from if they would work
