6V92 Rebuild and hotrod thread

[Randy Dupree]

the SP will weigh about what a PT weighs,less the tag axle weights.
I bet the 3208 will outrun the 6v92..

You guys better set some rules...


Drag Race? If what distance?
Top end? Measured by what and who?


Road race? What is allowed? Food ? Drinks? Personal relief bottles? Bennies? What course? Flat lands? Mountains?


Us little guys don't want any hard feelings between Mr. Wanderlodge and Mr. Electronic Genius Wizard

Its all in good fun! (i think!!)
The 6V92 is no powerhouse,but its a good bus engine.
The BMC 37 will kick the 6v to the curb,anytime,any speed!

No hard feelers here! A race to a mile or two sounds like fun to me!

just installing Larger Injectors will cause greater cylinder temps =
shorter engine life, what IM trying to say is you just have to balance
it out a little, Fuel air turbo boost .you should be able to find lots of injectors
maybe a 9215 with a 9 hole tip to better atomize the fuel.
good luck and if I can help just let me know.

Lots of good info.. thanks Pat..

Hope your feeling better.. missed you at PM.. I did my best to "fill" in for you for a tech seminar on Detroits.. I know that I have a small fraction of your experience.. but I did my best.. Hope to pick your brain someday..

I guess we got off on a tangent here! I will get an appropriate turbo built or bought, and I will most likely build an air-to-water intercooler (or a CAC). I haven't seen a factory intercooler that would fit, it's all boat stuff.

The aftercooler in there now, I guess the jury is still out if it's worthwhile to have at that point or not. If the air bypassing the blower isn't higher than coolant temp it's not going to take any heat out of the charge air, so maybe it should go.

I think 400-450hp is desirable. I can keep my foot out of it when needed, and I would consider installing a boost-actuated throttle modulator if needed to keep the smoke show down at low speed. With the air throttle it's hard to module at low speed sometimes. The power would be there for the hills, which I think the cooling system can handle.

Looking around for injectors and I see a ton of problems with Reliabuilt reman injectors. I also see remans available from Interstate McBee, but they have the same part number, so are they different? I might call my local injector guy (old dude, old shop) and see what he can do with my existing ones.

Powerline components also remans injectors.. may check with them.
Like the OG route too though.. may learn something while your at it..
