I recently completed a 1990 Ford F250 to 1998 24 valve cummins conversion. During the conversion I installed a 4" custom exhaust system, K&N cone air filter, and installed a 3" rolled tube intake assembly, installed waste gate ajustable tee assembly, Fass 150gph fuel system, 500HP clutch assembly, and a boost fooler assembly. The engine other than these mods is 100% stock. It gets up a goes just fine just want a little more upgrades on the cheap? Kinda blew my funds up to this point. I cant use any type of programmer as I lost the OBDII connector in the conversion of the truck. I still have the cummins electrical diagnoses plugs though. Is there a way to take my truck to a cummins shop and get changes made to the electronic system and such through these plugs to get more power similar to what a programmer would do plugged into the OBDII port? And is their any other mods on the cheap I am missing? Or am I sounding freakin stupid? Sorry I'm new to the forum and the cummins engine.

 

You could get a Edge Comp, Edge Juice with Attitude or Quadzilla Adrenaline that plugs into the Map Sensor, Data Link Connection and VP44.

 

the quad adrenaline does not hook into the obdII port it wires into the pump(spliced),map sensor(plugs), and one other plug(data link),the oil/trans temp(optional),and drill the manifold for the egt probe ,here is a link to the instruction booklet

Luke got to you before me and Luke is the guy to buy from too,very knowledgable

 

if you dont have head studs, we can help you with our allen head bolts.

 

Besides those idea mentioned above, I think a small stage injector would be a step up for you. Rv injectors run around 250 to 300 bucks and you should see a 25 to 50 hp gain. You can go bigger if you want.

 

how was this swap? im looking at putting a 24 in a 96 that used to have a 12 in it

 

Just put and edge comp in it you will love it. they sell for a good price used.


why shoot yourself in the foot?

 

HAHA let me explain, bought a truck with no engine, puller motor in the plans, but in the meantime, if it wasnt too hard of a job i would like to plant the 24V that i have sitting on my shop floor till the new 12V was ready.

 

run a ppump on the 24 valve if not you need all the wiring etc for the 24v. I like the 24v but the vp still worries me. my next project is a 12v in a ford or chevy crew cab non ca smog year.

 

yea i agree vp44 is a piece of ****
