Truck:

2001 1 ton Quad Cab 4x4 6 speed HO 24v 5.9 VP44 140k miles

So far the only mod is a Diamond Eye 4” stainless exhaust

 

Philosophy of use:

Truck is to be a safe and reliable daily driver.  Truck will also be used to tow a small camper short and long distances.  Reliability, fuel economy, and towing capability with low EGT’s are more important than a large dyno number.

 

Goal:

Reliable 24v in the 400-500hp range (Number is less important than a good running truck).

Removal of the VP44 for a more reliable system. (non negotiable)

 

Possible recipe:

Fuel Boss lift pump

VE Fuel Pump w/ dynamic timing

Unknown Injector (TBD)

BHAF

HE351VE with Arduino (open to other turbo recommendations but like the idea of a fast spooling VNT that can perform on the top end as well)

 

Questions:

Does the VE swap require a cam gear and timing case like the PPump?  Or is it just the VE gear and 1st gen cover?  (Basically a pump swap)

 

I have yet to see this swap on an 01-02 truck.  Are there any issues that I will see with this truck as opposed to older trucks?  I read something about crank sensors?h

 

Will the 1st gen cover simply bolt onto the 01-02 trucks?  No issues with harmonic balancer?

 

What are the differences in VE pumps?  I see recommendations are all over the place.  Intercooled? Non intercooled? 12mm? 14mm? Lift pump pressures?  What is right for my truck? Why?

 

Will the HE351VE w/ Arduino supply enough air for the low EGT/safe power I’m looking to make?

 

What injector should I run with that turbo/fuel pump?  What pop pressure should I run now that I’ll be running a VE pump instead of a VP?  Why?

 

THANKS!

DDP's are known to be smokey.  

 

you are also using tuning that is %100 above oem duration.  the quadzilla allowed me to pull duration down to offset the large injectors.  

I'll give you a call when I am ready for the Quad and update my injectors.  Thank you for all the info.  Have a good weekend and Diesel Drags in Pueblo.
