    Info: .83 AR for 73mm turbine wheel

    Sorry hadn't seen the other response from a few years ago. I am now running a S369 1.0ar/S488 1.15ar compound setup. I found out that the 1.0 housing, at least in the compound setup actually built boost faster, spool up took a bit longer, but was able to accelerate faster after it started...

    Vehicle Hoist

    Bringing this back up. I am rebuild the back garage at my house into an another shop that more geared for long term projects/fab/wiring. The slab is too thin for a two post hoist and the ceiling is kind of low. I have been kicking around the idea of getting one of the cheaper 4 post hoists, vs...

    Dimpled Pistons

    Yes, that's why I said with mixed results, from basic understanding I have, the effect it only useful at a high velocity. A golf ball travels at 200+ mph, but a baseball that travels at 80+mph wouldn't get the same benefits due to the lower velocity.

    Dimpled Pistons

    I have heard of dimpling the runners of cylinder heads for increase in CFM, but with some mixed results. Wouldn't the main effect of dimpling aside from the "boundary layer"on a piston be to lower the CR and increase surface area for heat adsorption.

    Turbo setup to make 1000hp

    Whats your Current DP ratio and how long will the truck be at or above the 1000HP? As far as modifying your kit, its do able, not sure if it would be worth it the effort or not.

    Blow off valve?

    Per usual, he wants it, not needs it. Yes, you can put a BOV on a diesel, but since a diesel doesn't pull vacuum, due to no throttle blade it can't be done like a gas car. BD, turbosmart, and other make a kit.

    Wastegate Questions

    Is that a twin scroll housings that your trying to keep divided? Definitely can do duel wastegates but if you can a single 50mm or 60mm it should flow almost as much or more than the 40mm's and would make your plumbing and maintenance easier.

    Wastegate Questions

    Turbo in the Valley/ stock position? Is he planning on Spaying the house down on the single? I personally wouldn't go the the effort of doing duel wastegates without doing some sort of front facing manifolds so you can place the wastegates in a priority flow position.

    LB7: CP3 mount that fits a ATS Duel CP3 Pulley

    Here is the crack, before it was just a hair line. It will open up a bit more by wiggling it by hand..

    LB7: CP3 mount that fits a ATS Duel CP3 Pulley

    I have a Aluminum cp3 mount, it had a small crack I found a few years ago and welded it up. Today I was changing my thermostats and and saw its cracked again, but worse than before. Does someone make a steel replacement mount? Currently weight options between trying to weld it back together...

    September '22 chat thread -- "The View thru the Smoke"

    Sadly Duramaxs aren't super conducive to a budget, but this is most budget compound kit I have done. Not sure the kit I built for my Lb7 to save some money ended up being any cheaper than just buying one.

    Changing turbo setup

    I have similar sized compound turbos but Borg Warner, to what they suggesting on my truck with a stock parts engine and it drives better than the single 69mm did. I generally drive on a 530hp tune, with Marks tuning, it's a smooth power transition, plus to there is no new bay windows which I see...

    Lb7 limits

    The engine's limits are right before it blows up, so by that time it's to late to worry. The real limit is on your wallet and time. If neither of those are a problem, beat it like it owes you money and have a new engine ready for when that one blows up.

    Going back to stock or stay aftermarket

    Hard to say, but with the C head gaskets I wouldn't be surprised to be in the mid 15:1 range if all my rods are all still straight.

    That kinda what I am thinking.

    Going back to stock or stay aftermarket

    About 1000ft, I think most of my problems are related to pretty low compression from the delipped and flycut pistons and something wrong with my wiring harness that I have not desire to find.

    Going back to stock or stay aftermarket

    It doesn't like temps below 50 degrees, runs really rough, smokes like crazy until it gets some descent temp into it. The during the summer intake air temps are about 150 and the truck is pretty lazy . Then there are random other things that happen like reverse will randomly not working with out...

    Well, almost 8 years and many changes later I am back thinking about this again. I haven't been much over 60% throttle in like 4 mouths and I am loosing the desire to DD temperamental higher power truck. What are peoples thoughts on getting a complete stock engine and trans to put in and use the...
