Power Stroke diesel

Apr 7, 12:11 AM

This brand new, monthly publication brings you original technical articles, news, product reviews, and more, all focused on the truck you drive every day. This diesel newsletter is focused on the Power Stroke diesel, and the Ford trucks that use them, although there are articles that include other diesels or that apply to any diesel.
Here are some of the articles lined up for future issues:

• Performance chip review, featuring several of the most popular brands tested under every condition imaginable, from everyday driving, towing, dyno runs, racing, and more!

• Turbocharger performance: what is “surge” and “stall,” how and when does it affect your turbo, and what can you do about it. This is not just a general description; we’ll look at engine airflow and the turbo compressor map to see exactly when and why surge occurs.

• Performance intake review: two popular intakes compared for quality, ease of installation and maintenance, value, and of course, performance.

• More turbo performance: how much boost can a stock turbo make, how does altitude really affect a turbo, and how to size an aftermarket or upgrade turbo to your engine’s airflow requirements. We’ll use flow equations and compressor maps along with real world testing to show the real answers, not just marketing claims from Ford or aftermarket companies.

• Easy how-to articles for the common mods, from fixing turbo surge to free horsepower. Would you like to learn how to build your own bypass oil filter for your truck? How about how to adjust your tire’s air pressure for maximum fuel economy and minimum tread wear? Or how to fill your tank faster without the pump shutting off? You’ll find out how here, with complete step-by-step instructions and pictures.

• Many more product reviews, including lift kits, shocks, tires, exhaust, injectors, interior upgrades and more. We’ll cover the products as well as the companies that sell them.

• Helpful hints for towing, off-roading, even your daily commute to help you get the most out of your diesel.

• More “how does it work” articles, from basic turbo diesel combustion to HEUI injectors. We’ll explain the concepts behind components and systems such as the high pressure oil system, variable vane turbocharger, and engine management computer.
