Please bear with me as this is my very first post on this site and thought this might be a good place to start. I am looking for some electronic injectors that will deliver enough fuel to make 2-3,000 HP or more with a diesel. I have not decided on a power plant yet, but looking at something 700 ci. or bigger. I know where I can get a C11 Catapiller that is a little over 700 really cheap...Has hole in the block, but easily repairable for my project. It will probably have 3 or 4 turbos and since I am a machinist, I am looking at building my own cylinder head with much better air flow and over head cam. I want to build a chromemoly chassis for it using the SQLD rockwell rear and then make the cab a little smaller and chop it. Similar to the "pissed off Pete" that I am sure some of you have seen. Would like to race it some at the strip just to see what it will do and cruise on the street, but first I want to build the motor and get it on my buddies dyno.

I have really become fascinated with the new electronic technology that is being used on the diesels today, especially after going to a truck pull and watching a class of Super Semi's! These things have ungodly hp and I am sure they are running over 3000 or so hp as they are at around 1100 cubes. Being that I am involved with computers quite a bit also, I really want to make this completely electronic controlled as far as the fuel system and tune it with a lap top. The problem I may have is trying to find electronic injectors big enough....Maybe, I need to use more than one, but that takes up room and would rather use a single injector for each hole if possible.

I am also hoping that there is someone out there that can help me put together the fuel management system. Hoping to utilize something that is out there already and modify it to handle what I am trying to do.

If anyone has any ideas or info as to where I may start looking, that would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

I also have a 8v92, but thought it might be easier with something newer and also a 4 stroke

 

well in columbus oh there is a shop you may want to try. its called columbus diesel supply. They do alot of specialty diesel stuff . well good luck

 

great lakes diesel is another place for cat products, pittsburg power for Cummins

 

Whats a Cummings?

 

i have no idea of where you could get them. but almost for sure have to be a custom set up. I would love for you to keep us posted on it. sounds like an awsome build

 

by a mtu 4000 ratings start from 600hp- 4000hp on there engines. but they wont be cheap... or small . . i would like to try a 60 series DDEC 5 NON egr with a compound turbo setup- easly 2500hp with some rod and cank, pp on the head and such

 

So far I havnt seen in person an Electronic Class 8 Engine make over 1200 to the wheels. Saw 1161 out of a Cat. Call Antrim Diesel Service @ (717) 597-7963 or 7964 ask for Phillip they can help you out. They do a bunch of performance Semis and Pumps and Chargers.

a mtu 4000 is like a v-16 motor they use them on frac pumps there huge prolly weigh 10 to 20 tons by themselves

 

home depot sells an electric injector for 3000hp.....its called a pond pump
