I know this is old, and I hope it's resolved, but I've seen several Star with a worn pin in the bracket where the two rods meet. The bracket then...
Here's a tip: don't replace the entire gear unless there's damage. You can replace the 2 bearings for a fraction of the cost and that's all you're...
Switching from 7650s to 7014s is like getting a decent tune.
Seems like it'll take a lot longer to get across the country if I'm going the wrong direction every afternoon, but I'll give it a shot
I don't think we're talking about the same 14L here
The 12.7 is an amazing engine. A 14L HK60 is basically a 12.7 on steroids.
For anyone with a DDEC 3/4 11.1 or 12.7 that would like a 14L, here's a cheap way to go about it: You'll need the head, injectors, rockers,...
The K31 is definitely the best option for a stock 470
I'd get the '98 for sure. The other two, based on the year, are ddec ii. They would be OK in a mostly stock application but I wouldn't even bother...
GU, GK, PK, TK, and HK all used 15:1 compression. 16.5:1 started with BK and MK. It was the low-nox programing that caused most of the smoking...
With stock pulsewidth (about 30 degrees) and 7473 injectors, my original compound setup would do over 60# boost but the gauge only went to 60 so I...
The 309 cam is pretty good for highway driving. I really like the 7014 injectors. You can get great fuel economy with them, make a ton of power...
I took my original turbo off around 1.2 million miles and it was due to the wastewater actuator failing. I gave it away and it's still working...
Clean all your electrical connections. Batteries, starter, all your grounds, etc. Don't be afraid to add a few extra grounds. Your issue with the...
If by better you mean higher flowing, the 7650s are the better option
Before may '98 nothing was drilled from the factory, not even the pk. Once they started drilling, they drilled everything.
I thought so. 6978s are the smallest n2 injectors they make. You'll lose a lot of power going to those
Don't plug your wastegate. That rise you'll see on the boost gauge is only because your drive pressure is going crazy. You'll over speed the turbo...
Are you 100% sure about that part number?
This is basically it but don't use the ddec 5 cam. Go to a machine shop and have them make you an adapter to run a ddec 4 cam. The fives use...
