    Ball bearing turbos?

    The only thing BB turbos hate is shitty, dirty oil. Keep them fed with clean good lube and the durability should be great.

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    I wonder how much ultrasonic testing is being done on these when being made...and what the detection limit is....

    3/4 Race cam

    No, not today I'm not, tomorrow, maybe :rofl: I'm surprised you still take the time to be a mod here.

    3/4 Race cam

    Looking for a new or used 3/4 Race cam. Let me know what you have. Billet or forged or cast is fine. All advice will be appreciated and replied to respectfully.

    ...which is exactly why I went on a rant. A response was entered without there being a question in the first place...:rofl: DO YOU HAVE RODS FOR SALE was the only relevant information needed.

    I would like to cut up some failed rods and see what they got going on inside them, if anyone can get some, I'll pick up the shipping.

    And you were the one who just HAD to spread yours around, whether invited or not, in the for sale section. What will we ever accomplish without your input.....:rolleyes:

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    You know someone hooked me up with the guy who made those rods, to discuss what went wrong, and the main issue had nothing whatsoever to do with forged vs billet, it all had to do with not understanding incoming material specs, preferred orientation, and heat treatment. I get tired of the...

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    I know Josh, and you're right. But it was heading that direction where for example someone says "I want a built motor" and then it becomes a 50-post moron-a-thon thread on the difference between a "motor" and an "engine". I think the OP knew what he wanted...all the rest of it was mincing...

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    Lovely. What kind of weird do you have to be, to hop in the for sale section and lecture people? Or what kind of God Complex? He jumped into 3 threads alone in the classifieds to spread his wisdom and knowledge to all. WTF :rofl: Every single topic has been discussed in the appropriate...

    Maybe you could come up with a bigger signature section in your spare time, with lots of definitions and help for the unknowing masses.

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    The OP didn't ask for an education. Do you have a set of billet rods for sale? Or not?

    Billet metal specialist thread (we argue cause we are dense)

    So do I, I'm a metallurgist, and you meant "quality." Discussion belongs in some other section, stop crapping up peoples' ads.

    Does anyone make a MAF sensor for the charge (pressure)pipe

    Are you running an intercooler? If so, you're better off for multiple reasons. There are a few companies making aftermarket MAFs and when I talked to them, they just said there was a temperature limit (350F ?) because of plastic components. They could make any size I wanted and have it scaled...

    Head testing for pullers

    Thanks Tim. Everyone should ponder the following: In all the equations covering the power output of radial turbines.....guess which factor is NOT included? I'm not here to win an argument or wage war or inflate anyone's head, including my own. But if more people started paying...

    Head testing for pullers

    I have seen comments like this posted many times (usually in the gasoline non-direct-injected world). I am not bashing anyone....but has anyone EVER shown any data to support the idea - especially in regards to diesel? Folks say "I been doing this for XYZ years" and such, and while I'm not...
