Whats that have to do with the differences of an LDT or an LDS?
Let me get my ****

Ok, this thread is about finding the differences between an LDT and an LDS, correct. However, it has shifted more in the direction of finding out what the RELEVANT differences are. Why does one make more power than the other? What would have to be changed to on one to get the results of the other.
If you just want a list of part numbers that are different, get out your TM and your highlighter. Not. That. Hard. If you would like to know what parts of an LDS cause the increase in power, then stick with us while we try to figure that out.
I brought up the idea of the smart phone accelerometer because it would give us a way to test changes such as, swapping an injection pump from an LDS to an LDT engine. I dont think the "Butt Dyno" is sufficient enough to determine if this is the deciding factor.
Some differences have been found in the TMs, but we have then found that they are NOT accurate. The rocker arms, the injectors, and a few other pieces that were supposed to be found on the LDS have been found IDENTICAL on the LDT. LDT engines found with the two whole injectors, LDTs and LDSs found with identical rocker arms, ect.
LDS engines have also been seen with C or D turbos, but still (Reportedly) out performed the LDT. This to me indicates that it was NOT the "Deciding factor" for all this power.
The only thing everyone can agree on is that the LDS has oil squirted at the underside of the pistons, and an extra piston ring. This would reportedly reduce EGTs by 100 degrees or so. (Allowing the fuel to be turned up a bit, but has been decided doesnt make "The difference").
The injection pump between them is DEFINITELY different, which has the potential to make a LARGE difference.
None of the facts in this post are my own, they are all things I read in this forum. If you are so unsatisfied with this thread, then you are welcome to contact a mod and politely inform them that you feel this thread has run its course, and needs to be shut down.
