Just wondering if there would be any noticeable benefits from upgrading my v2 to the v3? If there would be benefits, what would be the cost and would any other things have to be swapped out?

Should V1/V2 be upgraded to V3?

Then theres the whole cool factorabout upgrading...i say do it if you can afford it.

Oh, as far as the cool factor... I am leaning the other way. The more V3's are put out, the more unique my little V2 will become. As far as looks goes, I will give it to ya.... The V3 looks like it could come as an option directly from Ford, but my V2, with it "hardware store feel" looks home grown. I tell people its the system's flux capacitor, and that's what makes free fuel possible.

Also its quieter...can't hear it at all - unlike my V2.
I always say, don't fix it if it aint broke but i was in fact having some issues with my V2 so i was ready to upgrade. My dad still has a V2 and his is working fine since we got the pressure spring issues ironed out finally. So i tell him to keep it but he kinda wants to upgrade as well.
As far as differences, thats all i really noticed, other than being more reliable - oh and you don't have to purge air out when you change the filter, it does that for you which is nice.
Its a nicer system._____________

V2 vs. V3
I've got a V2 with 100,000+ on it and love it love it love it. But I just bought a new truck (well, a 2001 350 with 7.3) and am going to put a V3 on it (and keep the excursion with the V2 as well), so I should have a pretty good feel for the difference. It'll be a couple months 'till I get the new system from Jay and get it installed -- but I'll report back when I do.Vegistroke V2 & V3

I am thinking about the V3 upgrade to my system. My V2 is working great, but once my FASS pump gos out, it will be a costly replacement. Now that the new scorpion pump is being released, I am thinking about upgrading.
I preordered a Scorpion pump yesterday, but found out it will not work with the V2 system so i had to cancel my order (what a let down)
Do any of you know what it will cost to modify. I saw a cost in this thread from a couple of years ago, but I don't know if that price is still accurate.
For those of you that have upgraded, I have a couple of questions?
Will I need to rewire anything or will all of my current wiring work?
Will the current fuel lines fit or will I need longer lines?
As far as coolant lines, I can splice and patch lines to get the correct length

I also have a v2 in my 2000 powerstroke. I found a complete v3 on Craigslist last year and bought it thinking I would replace my v2 with this new system. Well, now we are selling the powerstroke and getting a cummins and I am going to put a Greasecar system in it and so now I am going to sell the v3 system complete (minus the 90 gallon tank/toolbox that it came with). if you are interested, let me know and we can talk about it
