Postby 91bluecummins » Wed Jul 23, 2014 7:36 pm

I am building a 91 ic motor with studs,fresh rebuild and 5x.012 dfi injectors, he351ve and a k31 71mm twin setup,custom water meth setup puttin it in a 85 c10. ive got some vw delivery valve im gonna try and hot wire ksb any thing i could do to make the ve fuel harder for some more hp. ive got the pump to the head and the regular pump mods star wheel ,dennyt 2, fuel screw, but is there any thing i could do to get more out of it. Thanks

Fuel pin that's not as aggressive as a Denny 2.
Jump the IP gear a tooth.
A good lift pump.
If it's a stock cam, I'd tighten the valves .02mm more than recommended (I think stock is .08 and .010 or that's where you want to end up)
M&H timing spacer

- Ensure all the injectors "Pop" at the same pressure (within perhaps no more than 3bar) . . . or whatever works for you. Just make them consistent with one another.

- Make sure you're not quenching the flame with too much fuel, down low, before the turbo(s) light. ~ Lean is mean!
Cleaning up all that full throttle with no boost smoke will go a LONG way in making good power across the board. Tweak the AFC: adjusting the Star-Wheel, Smoke-Screw, and fuel-pin ramp profile so as to have a relatively clean burn of no-boost fueling all the way up to WOT fueling. ~ Lean is mean!


~ Lean is mean! This is NOT a warning as would be the case with a gasser engine (mean: melting chit). This is a NOTICE you can have Mean power running clean as compared to an over-fueled pig.



- Cough-up perhaps $75 an hour and get a couple of hours of private dyno time.
Dial-in the AFC (mainly the Star-Wheel). Dial-in the injection event timing. When dicking with the timing, try it with the KSB ON, and OFF. (That will greatly effect the sweet-spot of the static-timing). Perhaps getting groceries with the KSB OFF, and flat-out racing with the KSB ON. - In this mode, set the static timing based on the best WOT power with the KSB ON.

NOTE: Your '91 may need the 12VDC power OFF to have the KSB ON. The later IC'ed 1st gens are backward from the earlier, NON IC'ed 1st gens.

- Now, while still on the dyno, dial-in the W/M. Increase or decrease as needed for the best power, where you want it RPM wise.

ONE THING AT A TIME, verified with a dyno pull.

If you've got your mess together, tools, no stuck bolts, KNOWING how to quickly loosen/tighten the IP bolts for example, etc. You can get in a LOT of dyno runs in two hours.

EVERY time I've been to a dyno specifically doing this mess, I've left with no less than 50 WOT HP over what I arrived with.

Hope this helps.

Everything I've read says the timing spacer is worth it.

Another mod I was going to try before I jumped the VE ship, was to put a pressure switch inline for my ksb. This would greatly help me spool at the line, give better bottom end, and still allow for a awesome top end.

What pressure does it come on at?

Yep, 20 psi.

I've got an on off on switch. Hot ksb, off, pressure switch setup.

So the KSB is off until 20 PSI? I also have some Hobbs switches laying around!

Did this build ever get off the ground? I'm curious about how that compound setup worked out for you.
