Thanks for all the feedback guys I appriciate it. I think I am going to try the 3200rpm spring and turning up the fuel pump see what happens. Where can I buy the spring from and. What kind of places put it in and turn up the pump. Im in richmond va boats in hampton norfolk area. The wheel is about as big as I can get I have an 18/17 the most I cm go is 18/18 I will also try that. Anything else for more motor power?

Ill try get a pic in the next couple days or ill find one on google and copy paste. And sorry for all the spell errors im using my phone I know how to spell just the phone types what it wants to

I don't think it has a 3200 spring already because when we got it the factory told us to get a guage that went to 3000. So im thinking ill need to upgrade guages and springs where do I get it and who knows how to put it in. ???? Much thanks

Once you verify that you indeed have a VE pump, there's a ton of info in the 'sticky' thread at the top of the 1st gen section. You mention adding fuel...I would definitely invest in at least a pyrometer beforehand...

Here is a guy that put a 6bta in a 25 foot bertram. Thought it might be helpful...Mark

Yeah I think im gointo change the spring bc when we got the motor factory told us to get a 3000 rpm guage where do I get the spring. And who puts them in. The wheel I have is an 18/17 the. Most I can go is an 18/18 maybe. But yea finding out where to get the spring and who does it would be great. Who also knows about getting someone to get the flange from a 2nd gen turbo to bolt up and changing the injectors out? I will prob need the pic of the fuel pump so y'all can see what iv got. Also sorry for the typos I have a new droid it spells what it thinks I mean just so y'all don't think im stupid haha

Ill look up 89 6bt cummins ve. Pump on google and see if it looks the same to my memory. And let y'all know in a few

I would think that if it is rated at 250hp that it is a inline p-pump.

Does it look like this? This a VE pump like a truck has (Cummins Dodge that is)

Is the fuel pump the silver part on top I don't hve anything with the silver. Part on it. Ill need to take pics but I wanna say that's not it

The INJECTOR pump is the whole thing...Mark

The shiny part is the AFC which mounts on top of the pump. The entire assembly is the VE pump.



without AFC


with AFC

Are you possibly thinking of the lift pump that looks more like an automotive gasser pump? It is on the side of the cummins near the starter...Mark

It could be a Lucas CAV pump, all of the stationary engines I have worked on have them.

I will find my picture of one.

Ok everyone i have just called my friend at the shop and he confirmed that i do have a CAV pump. and that i would need to find a bosh VE pump and have someone switch the spring and turn the pump up, with also changing the injector tips, would give me anywhere from 280hp-320hp. now the question is where do i get this Bosh Ve pump how much do they usually cost? also where do i get the spring and how much does they usually cost? any info will help thanks
