    Actual, honest, real world MPG from your 6.5

    My mileage went south a long ways today. Got the ATT on and this engine comes alive!! It wasn't the bigger injectors, it was the "A" turbo. When the boost comes up, and I saw 18.3 today, and the propane kicks in (starting at 2 pounds of boost), YIKES!!

    What have you done to your 6.2/6.5 today?

    I took the 7 gallon water tank and the 8 gallon propane tank out and replaced them with a 32 gallon water tank and 23 gallon propane tank. The small tanks will be shipped to Turbine Doc. A few days ago I took my GM-8 off and installed the ATT I got from Slim Shady. Took it back off and...

    truck pull

    Truck pulls can be fun unless you break something. So a pull close to home is a good thing. I did a little truck pull up here where I live a little while back. I went down to the little store down the road a ways and parked my pickup and saw this bunch. A group of import 4x4's were out for a...

    The old 6.5 could have taken the 24V...

    If I didn't add water, thru the WMI, I wouldn't get any more power so the water use must add power.

    The old 6.5 could have taken the 24V...

    I'm using close to 1 gallon of water (2 stage system)to 1 gallon of diesel if I'm traveling in an area with lots of hills. Boost turns the WMI on at 2 pounds and the second stage at 10 pounds. The propane use is about .4 gallon to each gallon of diesel. Just a whif of propane at 2 pounds of...

    The old 6.5 could have taken the 24V...

    Running straight water does gives me an increase in mileage. Straight water is about a 28 HP gain. Add some methanol and that will incease to about 40HP. Just get a good system with a check valve built in.

    The old 6.5 could have taken the 24V...

    Detroit Dan, mine isn't lifted but I have some very tall tires and I ran low 18's before this engine. With this new engine, "FTB", "ATT", WMI, and Propane it has s bunch more. So with your setup now add WMI, but not too much methanol, and propane and that beast will really get moving. Then add...

    So, exactly who makes the ATT?

    I am waiting for the return of my ATT, should be this week. Ready for more life to return. And ready to pull the Racer to Bonneville and to show the difference between a (modified) GM-8 and the ATT! A few hills between E-burg and the Salt Flats to try. Ist one is just 5 miles long!

    Water injection, home grown

    2 quarts in about 5 miles, that is a lot of water. On a steady run at 62mph I use about 1gallon of water to 1 gallon of diesel.

    Raced a Duramax!

    When I get my A team back I'm going gunnin for that twin stacked Cummins again. He smoked me real bad a while back. Once when I was pulling a small front end loader and the other time I didn't even see him coming, he was just there and gone. But when I get it back on I will be ready and I'm...

    She passed her first emissions!

    Just and idea but a lot of people in the greater Seattle Tacoma area fill their tanks with Bio-Diesel, run it for a little while, and then go for their emissions. They all pass!

    Dual Alternators?

    The 3 electric fans better be inside the truck. You won't get enough cooling with electric fans. Upgrade to a better engine driven fan. Just get a higher output alternator.

    Has anyone read the new Diesel Power article?

    I, myself as well as others, know where his engine came from, Diesel Depot. Built to his specifications. I know how much one of those engines cost! I believe he wrote about in a post here quite a while back. The twin turbos work really well. And with enough money I'm sure anyone could build the...

    Which water injection system?

    Bill has a 50 gallon plastic tank behind his middle seat. My system comes on at 2 pounds, but this is not a very large amount, just a small percentage. At 10 pounds of boost the second stage comes in and again that is not a large abount either. A lot of boost is required to get 100%. More...

    Which water injection system?

    Are some folks putting in 20-30 gal water tanks? I'm not using any methanol, just straight water and I use quite a lot also. The 7 gallon tank is used up too fast. Installing a 10"x12"x63" 32 gallon water tank. On top of that will be my 12"x48" 23 gallon propane tank. These will be mounted...

    Dumb turbo questions thread.

    There was a big difference between the A team turbo and my sort of stock GM-8. The A turbo made my engine pull a lot harder than with the GM-8.

    Heath Stop Selling Nitrous and Pane

    Never mind what Paveltoz said, he was tired from his long trip! The ATT did make my engine really kick butt. But the bigger injectors were a big part of that too! With fouled injectors and climbing the long grade out of Ellensburg and stepping into the throttle the black smoke would roll out...

    Heath Stop Selling Nitrous and Pane

    Well Bill did get me an amount of HP he said it felt like, but I told him how much it felt like I lost. It doesen't throw me back in the seat. The Airdog is still on as well as the "Feed the Beast" mod. The bigger injectors and the 'A' turbo would be all it would need to be back to a 'go fast'...
