RE: injector pump
the 89's are aftercooled, I wouldnt try and crank out some real power untill you get an intercooler mounted and get rid of that after cooler. if you do crank up some power you may not be able to cool the intake air enough and you'll end up burning a valve.
there realy is not much you can do to the VE to get big power, but you can bump performance up a bit by increaseing timeing, and there is a fueling screw, but it wont give you too much with your 89.

- The 1989 Dodge CTD had no charge-air cooler at all. Ref ~ Dodge Ram Diesel Engine Evolution http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Facts/e....htm#1991_mods
- The turbocharger AFTERCOOLER was introduced to the Dodge CTD in 1991 as a means to reduce engine emissions.
NOTE: An Intercooler is technically a charge-air cooler that is used In BETWEEN series plumbed compressors (Twins for example). In our stock, single compressor application, the charge-air cooler is correctly termed ~ Aftercooler.
Perhaps you air confusing the bus applications (or the like) of the CTD that ran the water-cooled charge-air cooler (mounts on the head in place of that we call the intake cover-plate. One of these ~ http://www.turbodieselregister.com/u...49&width=0).
Why we all call it an Intercooler is anybodies guess.
- In it's stock/OEM trim, the non-intercooled 9mm injectors are capable of flowing more fuel than the newer 7mm inter-cooled injectors.
- The VE injection pump on his truck is next to exactly like that on my '93. With that, he has the same adjustments to toy with.
Can't get big power from a VE? LOL!! While it's certainly not a P-pump, 250hp is EASY with simple pump mods. For little expense, the OEM turbo can be upgraded to effectively become an HX35 Hybrid. Slap on a 16 or 14wg exhaust housing, and 25psig boost is no problem (he has the Lag-Master 21cm housing). Slip in some mildly larger injectors, and 350hp is no problem.
And all fully reliable.
BUT!
Just like ANY CTD, he can turn it into a steaming pile of hot iron quick and easy without a Pyrometer. [X(]
