First gen 6.5L Turbo Diesel Injectors

[Stumpuller6.5]

Anybody have some recommendations?

My truck smokes when you start it up cold, misses a tiny bit too, kinda embarrassing IMO.

The smoke smells of diesel, not oil, I had thought it may be leaky valve stems seals, but the smell tells me NO.

I`d like to replace them, but being the guy I am I like to go up instead of straight? I(dunno if that makes sense,lol)

Just thinking and/or wondering if anyone has experience getting modified injectors for their diesel 6.5.

Now I know the 6.2 and 6.5w don`t respond well to power modifications, but I`m thinking 25hp might be safe? Does anybody have any info on good brands or kits available for my ole 6.5?

I`ve been searching all over the internet and there are a lot available, but kinda want some guidance before I pull the trigger, been spending much more Money then I wlately.


Thanks,

Clancy

Don't know much about performance injectors for the 6.2/6.5 but I got a set rebuilt from a guy on eBay. They're great so far.

I do remember the guys on a diesel forum I'm on talking about marine injectors of some sort that were bigger. I'll see what I can dig up.

Lol, I haven't found that info yet, but I'll look more tomorrow at work.

I will tell you the guy I got the rebuilt injectors from is "kr_services" on ebay. I see he has marine 6.5 injectors for sale but doesn't say what's different about them.

Not much in the performance realm for the 6.5 that is worth the money. The biggest thing you may be able to do is rais the boost a little, but I personally would O ring the heads and install the O ring gaskets, and head studs if they are not already there.

Ok, I found it. The general consensus was that it's best to just get quality rebuilt injectors with BOSCH nozzles.

"Stock injectors will flow double the fuel they are fed with no issues.

The control is all in the IP.

The "HO" injectors myth, is just that. A myth.

If the injectors did control fuel flow then putting 6.5 injectors in a 6.2 would cause massive amounts of black smoke and high EGTs, as the 6.5 ran more fuel than the 6.2s did.

I did exactly that, swapped 6.5 injectors for 6.2 injectors and there was no difference in power or smoke.

Injectors never have, and never will control the fuel flow. "

Bosch injectors got a bad rep there for a while but I think as long as you dont get old stock you should be GTG
