    Default An easy 100 hp

    Well, Looking at all the tables and checking things out, And of coarse, reading on how the heck these motors even work, "Still confuses me" lol,

    I have been playing with two tables in peticular..

    The main and pilot fuel injector tables..

    The pilot table was introduced with the duramax engine, and was a major contribution to why it is so much quieter than the previous diesel motors.
    And the more air and fuel you dump into them the more power they make, no limits until you cant supply any more fuel, or a hardware falure of coarse..


    For my testing,
    I have just been adding more to the Gm curve here and there and have had major good results.. You can even put more in a certain area and it makes it feel like a nitrous boost.. The more fuel you give it the power it makes, but i quit at 100 hp on the dyno. Ill play more when i have time. But if any of the new guys want the tune for thier truck just email me ill set you up with something you can use.

    Egt temperatures are pretty important to make sure they dont get too high. You can get a really cheap thermocouple for about 65 bucks and it hooks right up the the flash scan unit.

    I'm going to start experimenting with a friend's 01 Duramax and being a "diesel virgin" I'd sure appreciate some insight. I was going to start bumping the fuel table, but I'm not sure how much. If you have a base tune you can share, I'd appreciate it if you'd send it to dfe1@usa.net. Also, what's you're opinion on increasing boost? Is there any point in doing that if all you're looking for is a 75-100 hp increase? Thanks.

    Cool Stuff for the Duramax... Can't wait to save enough cash to get in on the tuning action. I have an 01 and am running a Edge Box. Can't lose the speedlimiter. Anyway, I've been following the advancements of EFILive on a board for Diesels. I'll be watching this for more advance knowledge. Great Job to all of those involved with the work.

    Jesse, let me know if this stuff works on the LLY motor as I have a 05' Duramax and as you know the dyno!

    If you can display UEGO voltage on your WB use that. You dont want to exceed 3.20 volts max 3.10.
    Engine life will be shortened if you get carry away. EGT's work but the lengh of time you load it influences it a fair bit.

    Diesels are lovely for making easy power

    Why do you reference a voltage(3.2v) versus a specific AFR or Lambda? With Stoich for diesel being 14.6 what AFR makes peak HP? Torque? What do you mean by "Engine life will be shortened if you get carry away"?
    Thanks,
