    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Ok Ok.. How about I build ya'll a $50 CANbus based PWM controller that reads TPS, Load, Boost and or MAF signal? Can even plug into chassis harness at CANbus terminator near rear bumper. Could probably do it with an arduino teensy, and even make it Bluetooth programable, with real-time voltage...

    Oh I'm wit ya on that one.. And these got no water pumps anyways. However I remember a guy having small issue with one working too good a few years back. So I prefer the "remote" shutdown options electrics provide..

    Need to add that one to my engineer tee-shirt collection.. Engines out. Time to clean em up, and resolve these few remaining issues. So I can start on a new project. Please [emoji120] Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Those are pretty sweet looking pumps. Never thought about magnetic drive also working as a pressure regulator.. If I recall, the mechanical lift on the 12mm is pretty capable of keeping up by itself.

    Let me know what they are. Interested in anything that fit the bill. Both engines probably be out this weekend. Time to crack these puppies open and see what they look like at 100hrs.

    What did you do at work today?

    Nice view. But I can never get my buddies to let me run the combine.. Something about growing up with me they say..

    Not the first perosn to suggest those.. I'm trying to avoid re-plumbing the fuel system if I can. So internal regulated is key. However FASS sponsors an offshore race boat, gasser at that. And while at the shootout event, I hit up their sales exec thinking maybe he might have a 250 model in...

    Looks like Voodoo will be back in Ohio for a few months. I fired up Port engine yesterday, and she purrs like a kitten. As expected. Beside some nagging lift pump issues, it's been the finest piece of rotating steel parts I've ever had the pleasure of wrenching on. Just eats everything thrown at...

    My latest peeve should be the NAPA industrial ignition switches which attempted to burn the boat down while I slept.. But after further review with an ohm meter, the rain water intrusion only caused a very low amperage drain across the power and crank terminals, which was enough to trigger the...

    Yes they make great power, is what's keeps em in biz. There is no real substitute for that extra 100+hp that fits this build. For drag racing, where ya can inspect the turbos between runs, probably best thing out there. But by no means are these ready for prime time. I was told the big rig...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Before I get started on a company who took another decent design and screwed it up somehow, Voodoo broke 90mph on the 800hp tune in fresh water at LOTO shootout last month. :cool: While this RPM recall was a small precursor to what was to follow the next day when I turned up the PW to the...

    Welding the bells in position once you get your map groove where runs best is "Suggested" by Bullseye if you call and speak to them. No where in any documents does it state, make this your #1 priority. Do it like first day, or our stuff will come loose and destroy your engine.. That's where I...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Not to a negative Nancy, I mean chit happens, things break, multiple times, same part, doesn't mean it's bad does it.. Maybe I'm just not following instructions.. So lets start from scratch, loosen all the set screws, adjust the bells to a more realistic map grove gap of say 3 turns out ".200"...

    So I get the intakes tubes all re-fitted, turbos spinning, and head to the boat ramp with a buddy one cloudy afternoon. Map groves are set at widest opening, as requested on my official work order. Boat gets up on plane, runs about a mile, and I stop to check the engine bay. Sure enough, 1.5"...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    The whole surge topic got them wanting to replace everything but the turbine housing on that unit. Which brought the grand total to more than buying two brand new units with larger turbine housing at a deeply discounted price.. They really wanted those old models out of the spotlight, and I...

    Actually, when I cracked open the rebuilt unit, guess what surprise was written inside the compressor housing? Dated after I agreed to the $900 bearings and a new compressor housing.. So, I had zero issues chopping up these units.

    Moving on.. Wait, still sinking another 10hrs into turbos today. Seriously need a pit crew. Apply omline.. Tonight's project, hacking the end off brand new compressor housings, and mocking up intake tubes. Figure if I do it right and weld Vibrants right onto the housings, then if adapting new...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    In all fairness, I was told especially with these new ones, once I figure where I want the map ring to weld the bell in place. Mark brought this up to me also. Not like I wasn't warned I knew from the previous one walking loose that it could become a problem. However no warning from the...

    Let me give ya s side by side comparison.. 3 points where bell held in place by threaded lands and set screws. They added 4x the meat on those new housing and modified the bell. One change being shrinking the outside diameter on velocity stack side. Which it needed because old stack had zero...
