Gated vs. Ungated Charger
I am going to upgrade the stock turbo on my truck. The stocker has about 140k miles. I was thinking about either the GT4088, or the HTT. I am also thinking about eventually twinning the truck at a later date. I am planning to use the truck for daily driving, towing (7k# frequently, up to 12k#...- BlkMax

budget gas engine project options...for school
I'm all about the 383. My last one was based on the Keith Black pistons that used 350 rods and the 400 crank (they move the wrist pin up closer to the oil rings)-you do have to watch out for the clearance between the rod bolts and high lift cams though. The KB pistons got rid of the issue of...- BlkMax

LLY: Truck wont rev past 2 grand??? WTF???
How many miles on the truck? When that happened to me, I thought it was the fuel filter and it ended up being fuel pressure regulator on the CP3 pump :( Since I had 135k on the CP3 I took the time to upgrade to an II modded CP3, and EFI Live.:D I really do hope it is the fuel filter in...- BlkMax

HID's Installed
WOW...That is a lot of $$$$$, half way to my new turbo. I just ordered off the net for $375, $125 per pair for the lows, highs, and fogs. I have seen it less expensive recently than what I paid about 2 years ago. I'm not sure, in fact pretty certain that my lights are not DOT legal, but...- BlkMax

Help: Need help ASAP
I had something similar happen to me when I went to upload the DSP5 OS. I finally figured out that I did not have the cable fully seated in the OSB port. Scared the $hit out of me until I figured out what was going on....- BlkMax

Casper's Autopsy Bonneville '09
Pat, Sorry to hear about the pistons:( I don't know much about water injection systems in diesels, but I would be REALLY worried about injecting water before the second turbo. There is a thing called turbine impingement. If any water droplets hit the compressor wheel, the wheel would...- BlkMax

injectors = broken crank ?
Are the cranks breaking in the same spot, or does it vary with each failure? If the cranks are breaking at the same journal, it could possibly shed some light on what may be causing the failures.- BlkMax

source for lb7 injectors
The best price I found was at the dealer. When I bought all eight, they were 257.00 with NO shipping. I did find a guy that was selling injectors on the net out of Texas for about 165.00 or so, but I chickened out....after all the work and $$ to round trip injectors I figured that the $$ saved... -
Oil pressure at idle
I had the same problem and started using the Rotella T 5w-40 full synthetic. I bought up the idle oil pressure when the engine was warmed up.- BlkMax

LBZ: Fuel Rail Pressure Question
Aeroforce Interceptor scanning gauges will also allow you to see the fuel rail pressure without having EFILive up and running. It uses the ODBII port. http://aeroforcetech.com/ I like mine.- BlkMax

Belated Kudos to Aero Force
I should have done this earlier, but I have nothing but good things to say about the folks from Aero Force http://aeroforcetech.com/index.html on turning around their gauges. I purchased an Interceptor dual gauge setup from them with the EGT probe and amplifier. After installation I noticed...- BlkMax

Hey you guys with bikes!
Depends...... I started again (after a 20 year hiatus) with a 750 Honda Nighthawk (I know, not a cruiser, but hear me out). It was a great bike to relearn riding; it did NOT get sassy with my 250# frame, and could be coaxed to about 95MPH. The Nighthawk was a reworked newer CB750 in-line...- BlkMax

Allison 5sp: Measuring Transmission Slip w/ EFILive
Is there a way to measure the transmission slip with EFILive either by directly measuring or by calculation? My old Banks had the feature and it output in differential RPM from the input to the output of the transmission. It would be cool to have that ability with EFILive. I may just be...- BlkMax
