Bombing a 93 CTD auto
Alright friend of mine wants to pull a fifthwheel around the country for his retirement, loves his truck.
He has a 93 2wd dually with a built aftermarket tranny but now he wants more HP Lots more power that he can use so here we go.
$400 The Lucas Pod injectors
Injector pump adjustments or does he to look to a HP version?
Govenor springs 3000 rpm
$450-to mod his w/16 cm housing married to a rebuilt hybrid turbo
3" straight or 4" muffled exhaust?
K&N
He already has gauges
So can he keep it cool with the hybrid or will he have to look to an HX40, will this work for him, will it run like a banshee, he wants to shoot for good numbers 700-800 ft/lbs? I have yet to play with an early motor aside from adjusting the screws so you all tell me how to build this up for a 65 year man who wants to lay down patches

I'd suggest smaller injectors, the POD's need a lot of air to keep them cool when working the truck and they are too smoky for many people. Tweaking the pump is fine, no need to buy a special pump right off the bat. I'd go with the larger exhaust with a muffler, this is a long haul truck that will be working hard, no sense in making the old guy deafer. If I've talked you out of the POD's, then just a 16 cm housing ought to be adequate for the turbo. The 3200 RPM governor spring is a good addition, too. I do not like oiled cotton filters of any brand if a large enough paper filter is available. For this level of performance, a BHAF should be enough.

With the latest price jump, the POD's would probably be cheaper and give you a nice down payment on an HX-35. With the POD's, you can always de-tune the pump to minimize smoke, and still come out ahead on power.

at $800 for the 190 injectors, i think we'll have to look at the PODs for 400 and de tune the injector pump to clean her up. What about timing is there a benefit with these to bumping the timing like there is on our gen 2 motors if so what would be a good advanced timing setting 2 or 3 deg past stock?
Thanks guys this info is helpful

The quick and dirty timing setting is 1/8" advanced from stock. In the 1st gens you just rotate the whole pump, much easier than the 2nd gen setup. So if it sounds like a 6.5 liter GM you know you went too far, but it's no big deal to back it down a touch. The problem people have with the POD's is haze at idle. They have 4 big holes so they don't atomize the fuel very well. If this isn't a problem, go for it! They are the most bang for the buck.
