Yes. Yes.

Yes, 4500 now. Everything getting more expensive. If you need all the clutch parts (flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, bearings, etc), add $1500. If you need pedals as well, add $500.

Whistle and Soot out of australia has a bolt on kit for it. If you are ever interested. The pump can be a vsv controlled dual tune as well!

All those things are true...you get more power. It automatically adjusts air fuel, timing, etc...for sure......., but you have to deal with an ecu long term and there are LOTS of us who don't want that trouble. We don't want a chip. We don't want a wiring harness and wiring it. We just want...

Carbs.....they put those in a diesel, I'll be damned. lol. some of us still like mechanical setups!

Just got all the latest pricing in for the builds from Whistle and Soot. Just give me a call and I can sort out a quote for you for the whole setup!

That is the beauty of this build. It ISN'T an FT. It is an FTE, so the parts are available. But is a mechanical setup, so you don't need the ecu, pedal, etc... and there isn't any ecu tuning. You just build the injectors and pump to your desired output, pair it with the right turbo. The...

And you have to deal with.........................wait for it..........................ecu...................................no thanks.

Ther There are a significant portion of us (I include myself in that list) who don't want to deal with an ECU, but want the 24v upgraded output capacity. FT engines are less plentiful and usually bring quite a premium i price. FTEs are readily available used. So it is really just a path of...

Are you going to reconfigure the injectors from electronic to manual as well?

That depends on how you want it built (stock, overbuilt), if you want just parts and want to do the work or want it as complete motor as well as if overbuilt you want the matched/sized hybrid turbo? Give me a call to discuss!

I am building a couple 1HD FTE's back to mechnical FT. Upgraded pump, injectors and hybrid turbo from Whistle and Soot setup to put out 300+ hp and 350+ ftlbs of torque. One is sold, the second has 182,000 miles on it. Compression is 450 +/- across all cylinders. Origin of the motor is...

Yeah, T, FT, FTE. Difference is just max HP really. The ecu gives the motor more tunability that just pump, injectors and turbo so you can get an extra 75 hp out of the fte over the ft. But.......with ft, no wiring, just mechanicals! Fts are impossible to find, but FTE is plentiful and...

As I have said, I can get you any parts you need to go with it. Usually, most customers end up having me convert the FTE back to an FT i.e. mechanical injection and pump with upgraded turbo so that the unit is completely mechanical, easy to install (i.e. no need for the rest of those parts) and...

Lots of people spending $8k+ without this information have plenty of sense. That said, happy to provide that to anyone who is truly interested and not just trolling to complain. Move on.
