    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Just to keep everyone up to date on this I wrote both Paul and Ross an email this morning including our findings and how we tested and were able to positively identify the problem. Hopefully with this information they can fix the issue relatively easily when they need a mental break from their...

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Sent you another email this morning Cindy. As I said I will gladly talk to someone who is actually going to do something to fix the issue. You asked someone to do the work to positively identify the issue, I stayed late one night and spent hours doing that with the expectation that my work...

    LLY: LLY Rod Bolts

    So you are not using stock rods? Or you are using stock rods? If you are talking about aftermarket rods then the bolts that come in the rods are more than sufficient, but Carillo does offer the rods with 2 different bolts - so there is no reason to buy them with standards then add ARPs.

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    But it depends on what the truck is doing at the time you shut off #3. Under some conditions that will shut off one cylinder (not 3) and under other conditions it will shut off a different injector (also not 3).

    LML Tuning?

    You forgot to mention the rattles....

    LLY: LLY Rod Bolts

    Are you using these in a set of stock LLY/LB7 rods? I've never seen a rob bolt that failed before the rod itself so I just don't see the point.

    Depends on when that makes the knock go away.

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Like I said I have completely figured it out and it is more complicated than you are thinking. I am working with EFI Live to have it fixed. If I post my findings then someone will refer to them after it is fixed and still be wrong.

    batmo turbos, fact or hype?

    Just going to throw in a quick comment: When the BatMo wheels came out I was very skeptical that they were anything special or worth buying and thought they were just a fancy leading edge on the blades. I took 7 blade cast, straight 6 blade billet, and 6 blade single Bat S475 wheels and laid...

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Spent a few hours last night figuring this all out. It is more complicated than any of us even thought. It has no correlation to firing order. I'm going to discuss things with Cindy and Ross first and see if they can fix it before wasting time posting how and what we found, only for them to...

    To Dyno or not...

    There are different models of DynoJets, both inertia and load cell. On inertia dynos bigger tires and heavier rims can sometimes help you out because the extra load will help get the charger to act more like it does with the weight of the truck on the street. On load cell dynos it will...

    Roll Pan Hitch

    I made my own as well. It looks similar to Josh's with 4 x 4 x 1/4" square tubing. My tubing is a little lower so that the receiver would be running through it rather than notched into the bottom. I also kept the spare tire cross member and notched it out for the hitch so that I could still...

    batmo turbos, fact or hype?

    He must do like I do and order every charger with a double bat wheel. When someone wants a cast or billet wheel they are easy enough to get and swap in, then we end up with extra BatMoWheels for guys like you.

    How much $ to rebuild turbo?

    It's unfair for me to answer this question.... I would tag that turbo as needing disassembled and cleaned and set it on the shelf, then grab one of the 10 known good chargers and a BatMoWheel off the shelf, put them together and install it on the truck. I would only end up doing anything with...

    Wastegated VGT

    Ben, you need to stop thinking about boost as power. Closing the vanes will give you more boost but drive pressure will rise exponentially when you get out of the turbo's effeciency range. Opening the vanes will lower drive pressure and bring the turbo back into it's effeciency range, it will...

    How much $ to rebuild turbo?

    My advice on rebuilding stock turbos is to not waste your time or money. Run it until it breaks and then buy a used one for a couple hundred bucks from someone that upgraded and repeat the process.

    How much $ to rebuild turbo?

    Turbo parts are individually balanced - the compressor wheel is balanced by itself, and the turbine wheel and shaft is balanced itself. You can put the 2 together any way you want and it will be balanced. Think of it like this: if tire companies zero balanced tires and rim companies zero...

    Wastegated VGT

    We have found that an LLY with a drop in BatMoWheel could use a gate for anything over 3400 RPM. Any compound kit that uses a VVT could use a gate to "get the small turbo out of the way" and let the big one do it's job. The VVT turbo's vanes moving is like changing the AR on the housing, but...

    batmo turbos, fact or hype?

    Isn't it funny how after BullsEye decides to only sell the BatMo stuff as complete chargers all the shops that used to buy cheap turbos at the BW distributor and swap on BullsEye wheels and covers then sell them for at a ridiculous mark-up no longer like BullsEye stuff? The best is that you and...
