Default asking the imposible

i have 100hp injectors. the high out put injection pump, quadzilla adrinaline. i want to be able to use all this fuel and not smoke one bit from start to finish. is it ppsible? and how do i do it. i have a 351 vgt turbo on my truck now.. its broke i'm going to look into getting it repaired but if i have to buy a new turbo i want to get exactly what i want. 40psi cleans my smoke up in later rpms.

I don't think you will ever not smoke at low Rpms.

Too much fuel and too big of turbo.

I'm completely smokeless now.

* RV275's Injectors
* BHAF
* Edge Comp (5x3)
* Stock HX35W Turbo

The problem is you need a smaller turbo that spools up faster and less fuel or use a defuel mode till the turbo spools up completely.

Edge Comp (Sublevel)

1. 33% of stock fuel till 20 PSI of boost
2. 50% of stock fuel till 15 PSI of boost
3. 67% of stock fuel till 10 PSI of boost
4. Some extra fuel at 0 PSI
5. Full fuel at 0 PSI.

So I get a small bit of fuel lag but what funny now is 2nd and 3rd gear I can break the tires loose. Even with the my RV in tow if I'm to heavy on the throttle.

VGT turbo have always had issues even in stock configuration. They had problems with the vanes jamming etc. One of the few reasons I held on to the stock turbo and tune to fit the stock hardware more so than tuning to a dream HP/TQ number.

What typically happen more than not is that people start Frankenstein there trucks together with a bunch of mods that claim bigger HP/TQ number without any design, calculation, or consideration and then end up with a mess of a truck that had really poor daily driving performance with reduced longevity.

Like the idea of a guy that building for a racing truck they want to get good quarter mile times. Understandable to build with the most fuel in mind. But now for a daily driver that you typically only use 1/4 to 1/3 of the HP/TQ just driving down the street and now street manner suffer and so does the efficiency.

I'm a daily driver design not a quarter mile designer...

thats gonna be impossible with the quadzilla all the way up, either get a 62mm turbo to clean it up or turn the chip down if you dont want a lot of smoke

I'm not sure of the the Quad's setting or tuning. But like on my Edge Comp I can run it wide open but set the defuel level down a bit to clean up the launching smoke.

Yep! That's something I just learned with my EDGE JWA. I had the 3-cyl high idle ECU update installed and apparently it came with other updates, some of which advance fuel timing/delivery from the VP$$. With my JWA defueling/low boost response set at 5 in all the levels, I was getting a bunch of new smoke before the turbo spooled up. After talking with a bunch of guys on CF (including the ever-wise Mopar1973man), I found that if I turned down the defueling/low boost response to 2 or 3, the smoke lightened up considerably and I still had all my power. My turbo still spools up quickly and I can still see what's behind me!

ok so ill set my adrinaline to do that i have played with it before but i always figured adrinaline new what they were doing soi just left it on ther factory settings. and as the boost thing i would like to be able to have all my fuel and burn it all.. but i get the time it takes for the tubro to spool so ill defuell on a turbo table. will this give me an even bigger lag off the line though? my power is already like an off on switch if i cut the fuel will it be worse?

That depends on a few things. For instance, Boost leaks, fuel pressure, engine operating temperature, intake temp etc. You'll never be able to burn ALL the fuel all the time unless you can find a way to keep your turbo spooled up at greater than say 10 psi between gear shifts and when running. Turbo lag is just a fact of life.
