Come on guys think ............ :p

Hint ...........it has to do with friction reduction!

Yeah, but who wants to trade off having to charge their battery daily, driving around with no AC, and/or removing the water pump and using the early Ford convection radiator system just to save a few drops of fuel and a couple spotted owls? Might as well leave the electric starter off and install a wrist-snapping hand crank.....

That is your fault Art, because as a friend you have full access to my shop to fix your truck yourself & you have a model sitting here I wanted you to have.

There is no trade off to what I am about to release for information on this find!

Second hint is that this part is internal and more than one exist.
Any guesses? :rolleyes:

Having more than two crankshaft bearings is frivolous, and I suspect that there would still be enough compression to run with a piston ring removed from each cylinder. Both could reduce the parasitic losses significantly, at the expense of required extra maintenance and/or engine longevity.....

Must be something in the injection pump and/or injectors, or else you would have also included the PD engines.
You also said VE engine equipped vehicles...which means the item(s) in question are not necessarily in the engine, or even under the hood for that matter.
Camshaft caps?...lol, I dunno.

I am still thinking and am anxiously awaiting the answer.
I'm still skeptical and thinking the answer will sound like Nelson from the Simpsons saying "Ha ha"...lol.

Yes it includes PD engines and is not related to the pump in either.......PD engines don't see as significant of an improvement.

Remy thanks for taking this seriously because I am not playing a joke here.

Artie cut your shit sir this is a fun serious thread about real technical things related to FOD.

Again keep in mind this improves emission's and lessens harmful output while netting more MPG!

OK, my next guess is that you'd discard the intercooler and the 6 or so feet of associated piping that goes with it, and just plumb the turbo outlet directly to the intake manifold.

I'm guessing that the pumping friction losses in all of the ductwork eliminates the cooling gains of the factory intercooler.

You'd have to relocate the MAP sensor, but that's easy.

I'm really grasping here Jack, but you did say it was related to friction...but you're also saying that it is still related FOD somehow, so that is throwing me for a loop (again).

FOD can be anything omitted, installed etc. that is outside the original design.
In this case this is good FOD...........

Good guess on turbo piping etc. because that is absolutely true but wont help as much or isn't what I am going to be pointing to for removal.

Hey Jack, this wouldn't have anything to do with parts that you recently removed and discarded???...

Nope......but yes this is FOD for racing what you pointed too.

Not coolant related..........nor turbo charger or boost related.

Piston oil squirters? Are you wanting to run higher piston temps Jack?

Nope but I have found benefits to removing/bypassing piston squirters in race engines.

I don't think the engines Jack is talking about here, specifically "ALH,AHU, or 1Z", have a balance shaft, do they?

They do not........

Come on guys good job keep thinking......... it keeps your brain going and may bring alternate discussions.

Balance shaft?

A+ for effort.........but nope
