We have two oil pumps on our 7.3s, the low pressure pump is for engine lubrication and the high pressure pump supplies the oil to fire the injectors. You can run stage 1 or hybrid injectors off of the stock HPOP as long as it is in good shape. What year is your truck? The connecting rods will also be a major factor in deciding your HP goals.

Nope, this forum is for epeen measuring only..



BTW to the OP, go to user CP and then edit signature and fill out that space with what your truck is including year, auto/manual and all that good stuff so we can know what your working with bud..

you'll want to upgrade your oil pump if you want power and economy, plus your injectors will need it. you can do a good diy fuel system with regulated return get some good tunes intake exhaust and then upgrade your turbo, remember if the truck is auto youll need work doen to your trans before these motor mods.

CJ- im looking around 300+ i still want it relieable. as for money i still want it cheap but i will buy the good parts. i know itll cost alot other wise i wouldnt have got a diesel. ill update my info.

stroken- i havent finished all my research on the motor yet. but i was looking at the hybrid injectors. depending on what motor i rebuild there both 99's one is early 99 and i also got a late 99

Someone correct my if I'm wrong, but I believe the 99 and 2000 trucks had different rods than the later 7.3 ones and the early rods are stronger.

Trust me it wasn't anything you said or have done that impressed me about Beans, and I don't remember ever asking you what your personal opinion was either. I see your so full of your full of yourself that you must think that everyone going to Beans is because of you? The only thing you and I will ever have in common is we own 7.3s and have Beans tunes nothing else.
