Lmackattack Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I saw a few years back someone turned a electronic cat into mechanical injection. Do these new diesels still have a auxiliary gear to run an air compressor that is timed to 1/2 the engine rpm? Was thinking a simple adapter for a injection pump and sleeves for an mecanical injector and 99% of these engine issues would be solved. Not interested in discussing emissions hurdles. Just how hard would it be? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35095-electronic-injection-converted-to-mechanical-injection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 the Cat pulling at elrodeo.com and other truck pulls that we have in quebec are electronic with mecanical injection pump. Can't tell you much about it, but that's what they're running now.

davehummell Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Wasn't that outfit back in the 70's claming 850 out of 3406 engines they never said how bad it would be on fuel. I talked to a guy that had a souped up 3408 and he clamed 800 hp. he said it was a blast to drive but the truck was a killer on his wallet for fuel so he just took it to truck shows.
