Truck build, thoughts opinions and insults.
 

So, truck needed new injectors, time to build it. Several things I need to just get on paper and get opinions on.
03 5.9l cr 6spd truck. 267k 90% DD 10% medium towing. Have edge Cs tuner

Plan is:
AD 150
Stock cp3 for now
Industrial injection 125hp sticks
Arp425 head studs
New feed tubes
Some kind of manifold (maybe?)
Bd super b special turbo.
Afe cold air
Clutch as soon as I find the breaking point
Maybe smarty s06 if edge isn't enough.

Things to keep in mind here, just upgrading everything while I'm in there so I can get some more life out of the truck. I'd like to make the most power I can without getting crazy (read twin turbos super duper injectors and cp3s)

Things I'm concerned with:
Industrial injectors were a good deal, but I'm reading some bad stuff here and there, is there a better/ more effective set of injectors? I've heard these II are smoky, lack power and not balanced very well??
Was reccommended s&s injectors by two builders I've spoken with,anybody used em?

What will be a good turbo to pair with those injectors that will spool reasonably well and still make good power?

Assuming I stay with the II injectors and they are "smoky" can I just go to twins and clean that up and make power with em? An s480 with the bd special should pair well I think.

I'd appreciate all opinions, ideas, and help.

I would get the Air dog 2 (Adjustable regulator built in) so you can adjust the Fuel pressure no sense in forcing 15-17 PSI at the CP3 IMO.
I have heard from some post that the CR injectors that are overhauled are not good. i wonder if buying a set of new bosch and doing nozzles is an option.
Either way have them pop checked and flowed to check them before installing IMO.
I am not an injector guy and have only done the mechanical injectors so the electrics are new to me.

Sounds like a great combination it should push 400 hp easy.

Looks like a good list of upgrades- I was in a similar boat to you just a few less miles with 230k on the odo- injectors I did new DAP- Bosch 100hp sticks - jkidd from the forum here can help with price- xenergy was the other ones that were runner up- I would go with either of those. Save your money and don't get new feed tubes- they will send enough fuel. Spend the money on injectors and with upgraded filtration from AD you'll have the peace of mind they will last a longg time. - rest of my setup is in my sig which is similar to what your list is- my EFI tuner advised with my setup with a trans to put it on the ground would put 500 on the ground. I would imagine with a smarty tune you'd be in the same vacinity

i have heard good things about S&S injectors, but i would go with BMS or exergy. DO get new feed tubes, they should be replaced when replacing injectors. as far as tuning, the best is HPT, next best is a UDC. they are both custom tunes and much better then a box tune. as far as injectors being smokey, tuning plays a big roll in that. thats one reason why you should get custom tuning, preferably HPT. you will get more turbo lag with the special b vs a stocker s475 compound set up. the stocker s475 is a common compound set up and it will be better for towing and daily driving then the super b. i would get the HE351 and put it over the s475. if you have a goal of what you are looking to get out of the truck, that will help guide you. i have the HE351 over an s475 with 50 HP BMS injectors and i dyno at 621 HP. stock CP3 with EFI live. i have the southbend SDD-3250 clutch and it holds. so what kinda power are you looking for?

Well I was recommended a stainless diesel 63/68/14 this weekend as well. I'd like to stay with a single at this time just because I don't want to convert it all, I know good tuning is where it's at with these, I'd like to be around 600hp when I'm done, would like to stay single turbo and moderate tuning

I would get at least a 64 if you're wanting to get around 600HP. I personally would hate to have a 64 on a daily diver, hell i hated my 63/65.

How laggy was that 63? I don't want to have to keep it tuned all the time to run it . Would be nice to keep it around a 70hp DD tune

It would really light up till around 2500 RPM's. I know it was getting fuel to get the turbo going, but maybe a little better tuning would have helped.

It would not light until 2500? Or stayed till 25?

It would make boost before 2500 RPM's, but not like the stock turbo would. The stock turbo is the fastest spooling turbo
