More Fuel for 6.9 IDI
Where can I get injectors and parts for the Stanadyne pump so I can squirt more fuel in. Plenty of air, Garrett turbocharger, plus another one if and when I get around to mounting it on the engine. That's another project all in itself. There is just not a whole lot of room in there, plus...goodbye air conditioning. I just need to get more fuel volume now. Any ideas? Stanadyne wasn't much help.

The moose misters are around $1000. Agnem(Mel) or typ4(Russ) on oilburners can hook you up witha set of brand new pressure matched BB injectors for about $300. These guys take the time to test/shim to ensure all the injectors pop at similar pressures. I got my injectors from russ and am very happy with them.
As for the injection pump, other than turning up the fuel screw, there is only one place to get a performance IP. Agnem hooked up with a stanadyne repairman and they created the moose pumps. They have a baby moose which is a factory rebuild that eliminates all the shortcuts taken by larger manufacturers. The regular moose pump is modified to allow more fuel than a standard pump. He recently came out with a Super moose, but it's only for decompressed, turbo'd, intercooled motors. He doesn't sell the pumps though, you send him your pump or a rebuildable core and he does the modifications and sends it back. So far I have only seen satisfied customers.
I lied before, I just remembered that DPS sell a performance IP. I've heard enough bad things about there products and service to avoid them though, at least as far as IDI parts are concerned.

Pump it up
Thanks guys for all of the info. That Super Moose sounds like a decent fuel booster. Like I said, I have another Garrett turbo but it will be a real booger to fandangle in the tight space. Plus, all of the plumbing is up to me, good thing I have a friend with a pipe bender and tons of fab tools. Compression may be a bit of a problem, but I don't think so. I just will have to keep one eye on the pyro(s) when I'm into it for a long time. Thanks again. Let 'er smoke!

Not yet, but since the heads are coming off anyway, now would be the time to do it. I have got some seeping on the passenger side rear corner. Oil analysis came back with small traces of glycol, so it's head gasket time. The stock head bolts are wimpy and costs about $110 per side. That's a lot of moola for the wimpy things that have a tendency to pit rust! If I plumb the other turbo in, how much would you suggest I lower the compression? I don't want to get into the throttle and start putting too much pressure on the connecting rods. Kaboom is something I would rather leave out of my vocabulary. The engine is fairly fresh, rebuilt (done right) about 60K miles ago.
