Compound's on DT466
Probably a little ahead of being anywhere close to starting this project but here goes. I bought a '47 Ford 2ton a couple of months ago and plan to build an oversize hot rod diesel out of it. My local school system has a '92 International Dt466/6sp bus w/105,xxx miles that I can buy cheap. The trans is pretty freaking huge but I want a manual and I want it to hold together. I'm thinking compound turbos w/S400 72mm compressor inducer 1.32 A/R ex feeding the stock turbo. Not sure if this is A pump or P pump. So what injector would be needed for something like this? Would the pump plungers need to be larger?

The stock turbo is a T04, which is around a 54mm compressor. Not too ideal in a twin setup. An HX40 would be a huge upgrade. They came with either an A-pump or MW-pump, and usually with teenie little 10mm plungers. You can swap over to a P-pump with parts from Columbus, or similar sled pulling builder. and.... pulloff.com is a great place to shop for used performance parts. They can also give a pretty good idea on actual injector sizing. I would say in the 5X.016 range with a 12 or 13mm pump.

That huge engine only had a 54mm on it with 10mm plungers? Man these things seem seriously detuned in stock mode.....

I aint chitting you, they really do. I think the couple years they had a 270hp version, it came with bigger plungers. I still have a couple chunks from a T04 from the 92 466 I took apart last year. The 466E has a similarly puny turbo, the GT37. Some say it's just a new version of a T04. At least those were in the 56mm range.

I guess that's the difference between markets driven by reliable 1,000,000 mile utility trucks VS. my 1 ton has 550hp and 700'lbs and yours only has 500/600.
If medium duty truck manufactures were doing the same marketing/engineering the 8 liter class would be 800hp/1500'lbs and scattering parts like the light duty market. |
Heck even my 5.9 359ci Cummins has 12mm plungers with, what is an HX35, 56 or 57mm?, compressor turbine.

Here's an HX35(yes, 56mm), and a T04 from a 92 DT466.

But, 3100 is close, and makes it scoot pretty good.
