They went out of business in January.

You might could find a used Pulse monitor somewhere. . . You don't need to upgrade your turbo. If you get some bigger injectors you'll need to upgrade, but with +40HP injectors and the Quad, your HX35 is fine.

Injector Sizes And Turbo Discussion. . .
I'm just a dummy, and I was going to put it plain and simple - think about 1/2" lines vs stock plumbing on the low pressure fuel system? You can be running the same pump, but 1/2" lines increase the flow. (pressure) Same concept? :shrug:But War Eagle covered it in detail, since I couldn't.

How do we get to the home page?
For a while it disappeared, along with several others on the "toolbar" I guess ya call it, but now they're all back.

2001 no start/asd relay issues
Good deal about the ECM! Cummins is usually cheaper than the dealer -- I've been there before, but didn't have all the serial numbers on the engine, so they kinda had to chase down my part. :duh:I know one thing - 9 times outta 10, finding a short is not fun. Good luck, sir!

Harbor Freight CAN & OBD ii Scanner???
I haven't used it.I have a cheap scanner I got from Amazon.com for about 17 bucks - it hasn't let me down.Personally, if I was going to spend more than 100 bucks on a scanner, I'd get a scan gauge II.

Sounds like an ECM issue, even before you had the Edge. Have you pulled the codes?Welcome to the forum, BTW.

Injector Sizes And Turbo Discussion. . .
Thanks Mike, for asking me. I know it's not much information off the get-go, but I hope it gets the ball rolling.

Injector Sizes And Turbo Discussion. . .
#1 - I'm not an expert, and don't really have any personnel experience on the subject. #2 - This info is probably not going to be dead on or 100% true, but that's kinda gonna be the point of this thread. I want opinions voiced, and I want to be corrected if I'm wrong. Some of this info is old news to some of you, but I hope it could help some newbs that are wanting to upgrade injectors and/or turbo(s). First I'm going to post roughly how much horsepower a specific size 7 hole injector will add: (I use 7 hole, because it is the most common injector in a 24 valve - 6, 7, and 8 hole can be used on a 24V) 7x.0071 = Stock HO 7x.0075 = Stock SO 7x.0079 = RV275 7x.008 = +60HP/+70HP 7x.009 = +100HP/+125HP 7x.010 = +150HP 7x.011 = +175HP 7x.012 = +200HP 7x.013 = +225HP 7x.014 = +250HP Keep in mind, a specific size doesn't mean it adds a specific horsepower; it just depends on the injector. Here's some links to some very good information on injectors and turbos: 1( http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/216421-injector-myth.html 2( http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/216850-all-injector-info-youll-ever-want.html 3( http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/219043-injectors-turbos.html 4( http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/585794-turbo-spec-compilation.html As the first link talks about, a 7x.010 injector will work fine with an HX35, as long as there's not a wire tap programmer being used. It will just be very smokey. As the last link states, with a 7x.010 injector, a 62/68/12 turbo would be a nice application. With a wire tap programmer, a 62/+71/14 turbo would be a better application. Like I said at the beginning, I'm definitely not an expert, and I'm still a newb myself, but I wanted to get the ball rolling, even if my information is not detailed, or if it has errors, (which I'm sure it does) that's kinda the point; I want to hear different opinions on different turbo/injector setups, and and what worked best for your truck, whether you daily drive, tow, or sled pull. Y'all just pile any injector/turbo questions and information in this thread. Somebody with some first hand experience chime in, and correct all my mistakes. Thanks to JohnFak for more info:

Lets see your homemade air intake..
Cooler air is better for power, but not for MPG. The intercooler is there for a reason - it does its job:

What mods/maintenance do you guys have planned in the future?
I'm no expert, but I'd be looking into a 7x.012 injector instead of the 6x.012's, especially if you get a wire tap fueling box. If you don't wire tap, heck, I'd be looking at 7x.013's or 7x.014's. - - - Updated - - - Also, if you're dead set on using the 6x.012's, look into running a 62/71/14 single charger.

BHAF
My NAPA wanted $68, and I said eff that too!
-
BHAF
Thanks! A bungee cord would hold it better, and would make things quicker if I had to remove the BHAF. They're the same filter. Both are 10.5" x 10.5". For $46 (before shipping) you can get a NAPA 2790. It's outer diameter is 10.5", but it's almost 12" tall. http://www.fleetfilter.com/filter/wix-air-filters/42790.html Some say it's better, some say it lasts longer, but I'd rather save 12-13 dollars and use the 6637 - nothin' wrong with it, and it will last a long time. . . I don't see another 1.3 inches of filter giving you a whole lot more life out of the filter. . .

auto meter cobalt pyrometer
I'm guessing it's powered when the key is on?I hate to say it, but you probably need to start it to see what she says. . .

Which twin kit from DPS? Either way, you're gonna need a butt-ton more fuel.

New turbo=Worse fuel mileage
Maybe a set of 7x.009 injectors?HX35 = 56/60/12Super B = 57/65/14

BHAF
Thanks guys. Since y'all like it so much, you've motivated me to build another one, and I'll make it a little more beefy. (not sure when I'll get around to it) - - - Updated - - - Also, I figured I'd give y'all the price from FleetFilter: NAPA 6637 - $34.08 UPS ground - $9.44 Sales Tax - $3.59 ---------- $47.11

BHAF
It is aluminum, and it's really too light and flimsy, but it works. I used a side panel off of a 300 gallon tote, where they put labels on them; anyway, it's just a thin sheet of aluminum that broke off of our tote, so I cut a strip out and used it. I like a little acid on my steak.

BHAF
You mean the grease? It's there on purpose. It's a little flimsy, but not bad. It's just something I threw together this morning, so like you said, it works.
-
BHAF
Got my BHAF on, fellas: Here's the cheesy bracket I made for it: Please excuse the wire -- I will soon upgrade to a bungee cord. BTW, this is a 6637 filter. I ordered it from FleetFilter for $47, after shipping! They're located in Brenham, Texas, about 1 1/2 hours west of me, so the filter was here the day after I ordered it.

What fuel pressure do you run if you have a gauge?
That's how most people are running their Assassins - 1:1. I started out with a small pulley on the crank, and my idle pressure was too low, but I was using my stock return line at the time, and it was putting back pressure on the whole system, and my pressure would spike.I might just try swapping pulleys again. . .
