I am looking for some electronic injectors that will deliver enough fuel to make 2-3,000 HP or more with a diesel. I have not decided on a power plant yet, but looking at something 700 ci. or bigger. I have an 8v92 detroit, but I know where I can get a C11 Caterpillar that is a little over 700 really cheap and is really suited for this type of injector. Has hole in the block, but easily repairable for my project. It will probably have 3 or 4 turbos and since I am a machinist, I am looking at building my own cylinder head with much better air flow and over head cam w/intercooler and water injection. I want to build a chrome moly chassis for it using the SQLD rockwell rear and then make the cab a little smaller and chop it, similar to the "pissed off Pete" with the 12v92 that I am sure some of you have seen. Would like to race it some at the strip just to see what it will do and cruise on the street, but first I want to build the motor and get it on my buddies dyno.
I have really become fascinated with the new electronic technology that is being used on the diesels today, especially after going to a truck pull and watching a class of Super Semi's! These things have ungodly hp and I am sure they are running over 3000 or so hp as they are at around 1100 cubes. Being that I am involved with computers quite a bit also, I really want to make this completely electronic controlled as far as the fuel system and tune it with a lap top. The problem I may have is trying to find electronic injectors big enough....Perhaps an injector from a larger diesel would get me in the ballpark with the chance of getting even more fuel out of it yet, or maybe, I need to use more than one, but that takes up room in the combustion chamber and would rather use a single injector for each hole if possible.
I am also hoping that there is someone out there that can help lead me in the right direction as to find a fuel management system for this project. Hoping to utilize something that is out there already and modify it to handle what I am trying to do.
If anyone has any ideas or info as to where I may start looking, that would be greatly appreciated....Thank
