Turning up the VE

Postby 93_Cummins260 » Mon Feb 17, 2014 8:05 pm

Hello everybody, I was wondering about turning up the VE I/P I know of advancing the timing an eighth of an inch, power screw, starwheel, smoke screw, and etc. I had talked to a guy at my local diesel shop about advancing the timing with their tools for me and also about the power screw. He said that it was a pick-your-poison sort of thing and I just wanted to know about what all you guy are running and what you think of the situation.
Thanks for your time.

The Dodge 1st gen trucks using the 6BT series Cummins run the VE IP ('89 ~ '93).

Dodge switched to the ISB series Cummins half way through 1998. That engine uses the VP44.

While similar in overall design, the VE is purely mechanical where as the VP has electronically controlled fueling/timing.

Depends on what you'll be using the truck for. If you'll be towing much, keep it mild until you see how it responds, egt wise. For the full power screw, you could try 1 to 1.5 turns. Thats about where mine is at and it does ok towing, although I have a better turbo.
The smoke screw, mine is flush inside the afc cap. The star wheel is a few turns from the bottom.
