reliability yet ensure plenty of high-pressure oil volume makes it to the injectors, an Adrenaline high-pressure oil pump from Dieselsite sits in place of the factory 15-degree unit. Custom PCM tuning from Gearhead Automotive Performance—available via a six-position TS Performance chip— unlocks the full potential of the injectors and Adrenaline.
ELECTRIC FUEL
Supporting the Baby Swamp injectors is an OBS fuel system from Irate Diesel Performance. The electric fuel supply system scrapped the factory mechanical lift pump and fuel bowl assembly in the valley in favor of a proven Walbro unit (and its corresponding Baldwin filters), which is mounted along the frame rail. Irate’s system also provided for the retention of the factory selector valve (so both fuel tanks could still be utilized) and included a regulated return, complete with an adjustable Aeromotive regulator that keeps fuel supply set at a steady 65 psi.
The forged-rod 7.3L Power Stroke in Blake Younce’s ’97 F-350 has accumulated 265,000 trouble-free miles in its 21-year tenure. To date, the only work performed under the valve covers has been to add a set of 150cc stock-nozzle Baby Swamp injectors...
At the heart of the Irate Diesel Performancet4 turbo system sits this S364.5 SX-E turbocharger from Borgwarner. Thanks to a forged-milled-wheel 64.47mm compressor wheel, 73mm turbine wheel in a 0.91 A/R housing, and a 360-degree thrust bearing...
An electric fuel system from Irate Diesel Performance—complete with a Walbro lift pump, readily available Baldwin spin-on filters, and regulated return—bolts to the frame rail and ensures 65 psi worth of diesel is always on tap for the injectors to...
To get the most out of his injector combination, Younce did away with the factory 15-degree highpressure oil pump in favor of an Adrenaline from Dieselsite. While this high-volume pump is known to add 30 to 50 hp to 7.3Ls (depending on injector...
