93 w250 aka The Roo Hunter

Postby DMan1198 » Wed Feb 19, 2014 12:20 pm

Ok so someone on here told me not to pull a cmann250 and just make a build thread already, so here goes.

I'll start off by giving a little background on the truck. My dad bought it from the original owner already turned up and turned, but all stock around summertime 2004 kind of as a spare vehicle I think. anyways it got occasional use mostly hauling water, our toys, and picking up parts for the business after we sold our 04 dodge dually (my dad ran a machine shop for a while. Still has most of the equipment too). Occasionally it was DD'd until we get to September 2010 when I started driving it.
shortly after that I was having a conversation with my dad where he mentioned the p pump in the shop could be fitted to it, and that's where the seed was planted to give it an inline pump. then when I bought the truck off my dad and got my new plate the decision was made to shoot for the number written on the plate (1209)
Things went well the first winter. No accidents and I enjoyed driving it. by the next fall I'd burned most of the tread off the back tires, so I had to get new ones. In January I picked up a new exhaust system (it was the flowmaster 3.5 dp back exhaust and not the one I wanted) and all chrome front bumper. then things went poorly. one night driving home from work after it had been raining, and that rain had frozen, I ended up hitting another vehicle with the side of mine (it wasn't pretty) it turned out there was actually a LOT of bondo on the truck from other accidents.
Image
Image

After that I still drove the truck when needed, and still really liked it, but was rather disappointed in myself. In June 2012 I ordered the first performance mod. A set of DDP stage 3 injectors. they took 3 weeks in which I called twice so ask what was going on. the first time they didn't know, the second time they knew and told me they'd shipped (hooray) we picked them up on a Saturday in July and put them in the next day. once we got her back up and running I took her for a spin, and was like :mrgreen: :mrgreen: the whole time.
Image
Now that she was making more power (and I was having more fun) I decided I wanted more air so in September I ordered a 60mm upgrade wheel, and 366 spring. then I had some fun taking a few of the turbos I had laying around the shop apart while I waited. turned out I had a high mileage wh1c rather than an hx35, but I had 2 hx40's so I took the cartridge from the good one and got that machined to fit my new wheel, and put it together with the turbine wheel and housing from the wh1c.
Image
Image
This was a lot of fun, and spooled so much faster than the stocker. a month later I finally got gauges. Then in January I swapped the gauge cluster lights for LEDs so my gauges all matched.
Image
This was also the time I got my steed speed manifold
Image
Finally I had my pyro mounted pre turbo, and discovered I was hitting 1400 degrees. Late January I got my DDP fuel pin, and went from 38psi of boost to 40. Then in February I started assembling parts to meet my lofty 1200 horsepower goal. I started with parts for compounds
Image
Image
Unfortunately I didn’t do enough research before ordering and the hot and cold pipe won’t fit so I am going to actually build all my own stuff. At the end of February I ordered my silver bullet s362 from industrial injection.
Image
I drove it for about a month like that till this happened
Image
Then I decided to switch my wastegate actuator to a spring type
Image
Then I did a bit of overdue afc tuning to get rid of some of the smoke

I also forgot that about a year to the day of my first accident with the truck I ended up in another accident that caused front end damage
Image
so I pulled the front bumper off and decided I'd get around to building my own bumper sometime. that sometime turned out to be the middle of May. I got a 3/16" wall bar for free and 6 feet by 8 inches of 3/8" steel plate, and took my first try at welding
Image
Image

In April I took the liberty of ordering the pump I wanted. it ended up taking over 4 months and several phone calls before it even shipped, and when I got it nothing came with it so I don't even know what's in it. In June I decided it was time to order my cam and whatnot, so a call to Hamilton, and I had a 188/220 cam, 165# valve springs, extreme duty pushrods, and a new set of tappets on there way.
Image

then at the end of July I made a call to Eric at the hungry diesel and ordered a set of extrude honed 5x16's.

on August 10th I ran into a problem where my diaphragm lift pump failed when I force fed it fuel from a pusher pump, and was left stranded at Castrol raceway just outside of Edmonton. Luckily I had a friend with a truck there and caught a ride home with him. The next week I bought my 4th gen, and borrowing a friends car hauler used it to rescue the old girl.

Image
since then I've been doing research, designing stuff, and putting lists of parts together to get her built and running

I'm surprised you made it as long as you did, it's really easy to pull the fuel pressure to 0 on even a mildly turned up pump with stock sticks...

Yeah it was a new diaphragm pump in 2011, but I could kind of tell I was hitting 0psi as I kept momentarily losing power, and when it ran with the pusher in it felt noticeably stronger.

Thanks Andy. The 4th gen looks even better now

What are you going to do for fuel supply now?

The plan is a gear driven mechanical pump. If that's not street able I'm not entirely sure what I'll do

you have a good point here. the plan is to spend the money once on the bottom end, and not have to worry about it again. Otherwise yeah it seems to be costing many moneys so far and more to come

Take lots of pictures when you do those 2nd gen seats, I have a set in tan that I want to put in The Pile.

I can do that. I'm not sure when they'll get done since my brothers sister in law is doing them, and it's kind of in her spare time deal so I get a pretty good deal compared to her other customers. I guess at some point beer ended up spilled on them

It's sitting in my shop. Could probably do with being balanced. Wanna buy it?
