Hello all: I have installed Turbos on Diesel street PU trucks and I do realize that with turbo boost comes the need for more fuel. I recently came across a new Chinese turbo and waste gate that is advertised as correctly sized for my 1500 cc Caterpiller C1.5 Diesel. I can do the fabricating and plumbing to get the turbo on there, but I don't have a clue about ramping up the fuel delivery. On other Diesel vehicles, I tied for around 850 degrees at 6" from the exhaust valves using an exhaust gas pyrometer (EGT). I have been inside CAV DPA mechanical Diesel injection pumps like my Ford Diesel uses, but nada on whatever the Cat C1.5 uses. Any body know how to bump up the fuel on the CAT. My Ferris/Cat C1.5 runs wide open against the governor so you would think just watching the EGT and changing a spring, or turning a screw, or shimming something would do to increase the fuel??
