Do you first gen guys run high flow banjo bolts, or do you just drill out the stock ones? If you run aftermarket where do you get them?

 

Hmm seems like I just answered this on a different site LOL.. www.genosgarage.com has them.. not listed for 1st gens but they are the same ones as the 24 valves.

 

I got mine from Wildcat diesel. www.wildcatdiesel.com
Good luck

 

Wildcat is no longer in business.

 

I'm running a pair from Geno's.

 

what is the reason for the banjo bolts. More power or just better flow.

 

Save your money and buy a scotty smart flow fuel system, simple and proven. There's also a new system out called the Vulcan, looks like a great system for the price, simple yet effective. You wont see alot of improvement from banjo's.

Hmm ~$3-4 per banjo bolt times two...= not a whole lot of money spent. I gained 2 psi when I went to high flow banjo's vs. restrictive stock banjo's. Just compare them and you'll see the difference in fuel flow. Best less than $10 purchase I ever made to my truck.

 

I pretty sure that the Vulcan kit and the scotty system are for you overvalved guys. The Vulcan kit relocates your stock electric lift pump to the rear by the fuel tank. Our fuel system just has a mechanical lift pump driven off the cam and has 3/8" fuel line already so the biggest restriction for us are the banjo bolts on the fuel filter housing.

 

If Scotty wants to make a kit for 1st gens I 'll get in line.

 

I was replying to rockjeeps who has 2nd gen 24valve and was inquiring about banjos.

I dont meen to hijack here, but, does these hiflow banjo's help the 1st gen.'s when they have been a little more than slightly modded. If so maybe they are what I need to think about.

 

Yea what he said. I am kind of wondering the same thing. Is it worthwhile to do on a first gen that has been slightly moded like mine and Timbs'? I have heard about some people drilling them out themselfs. What size and where at? Any first hand experience?

 

What he said . What are you waiting for???? BTW that 2psi was at WOT.

 

I'll let you guys know what the dyno says, my last dyno was with stock banjos and the truck really laid down over 2600 RPM. I think it was short of fuel up there.

The holes on the Geno's banjos are oval and slightly chamfered, that might be worth trying on a homemade set. If you drill your own, get a fresh set of crush washers and install them to 18 ft lbs.

For the price they want it was worth it to me to buy them. I figured if I broke one installing them I'd still have the stockers to fall back on. If I put the stockers on the drill press the truck would be down if anything went wrong.
