What mod should come first, injectors or turbo? Granted it will be some time and as money permits, but I'm curious as to which should be first. Just bought the fuel system and there's $1k in new tires looming on the horizon, but want to plan ahead. Thanks all.

 

what size injectors?
if they are to big befor you put a turbo on your going to run in to alot of smoke and high EGT's....

what size turbo??
a larger turbo you will just have alot of lag with out the injectors..

if anything comes 1st it's injectors.. personally i would do them both at the same time..
buy one and hold on to it until you can afford the other

 

X2 I agree with Bow.

 

bow2no1, make sense doing both. Just takes time to stash funds for each purchase so trying to do a little a time. I like to play a little bit with the truck but it's mostly for towing my toy hauler. So injectors would be 100's max, probably 50's. I don't have the turbo's figured out yet, as to how they can be configured for inlet/outlet sizing. Need fairly quick spool up and torque still though. I was concered if there's too much fuel and not enough air I would see black smoke while daily driving.

 

i think you can just buy a larger wheel and compressor housing to bolt to your stock turbo for around 200-300?

may get you buy for a while till you can afford a larger turbo and buy some 50's

then when you want to upgrade you can sell the 50's and stock turbo here or on ebay. to get the money to pay for the full upgrade..

 

bow2no1, if you or anyone else knows who upgrades the stocker that would definitely be up my alley for now. Haven't seen anyone else do that yet. Maybe HTT does it?

 

i think Htt is who i saw selling them

or just buy a hx35/hx40 h1c/h1e they are both pretty much the same but the HX series flows better and probably spools better too.

you can probably get some price quotes from one of our sponsors

Was just searching for my post and magically it was "re-titled" from the "Chicken or the egg?" I posted. Is there no humor allowed? I'm new to this site but not to diesel forums and the last thing I would do is ask a question that's been asked a thousand times. If the question I used as my thread topic was offensive just explain it as such and I'll adjust in the future. Thanks.

 

if someone had changed the title of the thread, you should have gotten a PM from the person who changed it.

But i think if injectors are good for a first bomb, the stock turbo the the cumins can run alot of boost, just make sure you add the boost fooler on top before the injectors.

maybe just maybe, if ur getting something like a aroura 2k for a turbo then turbo first i think would be better.

 

it was me and i just sent a PM. but to just get this out in the open, i changed the thread title because in the future if someone searched for First BOMB or something of that nature then they will find this thread. also changing it brought more people in here to answer your question.


i personally did the turbo first. mine is alittle large but EGT's were super cool. spool time was a lil laggy..... but i do agree with Bow.... order them and stash them in the cabinet. then when you install all of it you will be plesantly suprised.... i was just a lil' anxious and wanted my parts installed right then..... less than 1 hour after they were dropped off by UPS....
