What? Since when? I really like their pressure box, it definitely woke my truck up.

Sorry for the hijack

I have two trucks over 1000hp running it, rail pressure is never an issue, you can get 25kpsi at SSR 1.5a level 1. The one customer running it came from Dr. P boxes, but had one fail recently and obviously couldn't get it serviced, he was more then impressed with the rail capacity of the SSR vs the Dr. P.

Following the directions to a T on installing the DDP 90's but now I have small amounts of oil coming out of my blowby tube making a mess under the truck. Got to love the constant upkeep to keep a truck clean after modifying.....

I have a DR. P pressure box on it but it has issues when it gets damp out so I stopped running it. I have a 2nd gen puke bottle filter kit coming from Harry at Peak to catch the oily mess. I wonder if those new injectors have a bad copper ring or something. I have no blowby at idle or high revs with the filler cap off so I don't know why it's spitting oil out the vent tube?? Any ideas guys?

Mike, I tried every setting on the gate and I they highest I seen was 1410 degrees.

I'd definitely hold off on the intercooler. Its not leaking, so minimal gains are going to be had there. Get your fuel injection system up to snuff first. Poor fuel delivery will drive up EGT's considerably.
Hey buddy, just phoning around about ordering that GT5541R. What turbine housing you want? Might want to get a few in just incase.

Do you know what pressure its openning at? Stock trucks we run with the gate typically closed until high boost pressures. I would try boost leak checks prior to intercooler. I bought a spearco one and saw almost no change on egt's on my 02, I dynoed 678rwhp. Ran 65-70psi of boost with that combo, so chances are you could be very close with a few more tuning tweaks.

I just got a big dent in my 2010 cab (from quadding) and my rear tail gate cover is now MIA Sure hard keeping these truck minto

With the new injectors, I'm trying to stay away from extra pressure....

extra pressure isnt a bad thing,, it is controlled pressure that you are looking for. Also if you are running clean fuel (ie 2 micron filters etc) you will not have a problem,,, that is what kills injectors more than anything on a common rail is small particles in the fuel

Draining the rail on hard pulls isn't good for the system either. It is a balancing act to say the least.

The lowest I'm seeing on any pull is 15,000psi. Rail pressure holds at 23,000 psi until the transmission shifts into the last gear in lock up, then it drops to 15,000 psi and holds there. That's running Smarty TNT #9 with no Revo adjustments. Fuel pressure at 14 psi WOT.

I will throw that new II 33% CP3 in this weekend and see how she goes...

It's a totally supportive & optimistic guess!!
I'm in a good mood since nothing has leaked out of nor fallen off my truck in the last few weeks!


Seriously though, that's a ton of air & a ton of fuel.
There is nothing wrong with Jamie's engine nor set up so it's seems reasonable to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if Jamie dyno'd that.

A small amount of drip after being parked for a bit is normal but keep a close eye on the oil level.
If it's going up, fuel is going in the engine oil, raising the level, causing oil out of the blow by tube.

At hot idle, remove the oil fill cap. There should be very little visible blowby mist in warm weather. Note that in cooler weather it's much more noticable as it condenses.

I have no blowby at the oil cap even at highest idle. I thought I might have had a bad copper ring but I'm pretty sure thats not the case because it runs soooo smooth minus the small timing rattle on take off which is common I heard.

Hey Jaimie, really dumb question, but are you sure those are 90's and not something much bigger? That is alot of extra heat!
