    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Ok I spent half the weekend researching supercharger options. Like 10 Things You Didn’t Know about Superchargers. Never did find the exact blower design I was looking for. It's a non-roots, with post like fingers on the case and shaft that created boost without the normal positive displacement...

    Ah without a doubt she needs a little upgrades to the turbo pipe work. But like me, few changes along the way, things keep getting moved. Believe that's same pipes they through together to test compounds on the dyno. So far he's only cut up about a hundred bucks in pipe. I scrapped those nice...

    That Roots clutch setup on the Interceptor was purely for looks. Can't suck thru a roots. However it has been done successfully on a whipple I believe. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Tuned a guys LB7; he now claims 6+mpg loss??

    Yeah those are the two common mistakes I've made in the past that had me head scratching on mileage. And it could have been that edge had it reading high, and now you have it correct again. Tough call, but your following the right path to figure it out. Sent from a reclined position using...

    Make sure Fuel Tank size didn't get changed, have saw that one throw it way off before. I would reload the Canned tune he was running, then read it out with V2 and compare to stock and your own work. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    No instructions, no diagrams, like the rest of this project only exists in one person's head. Reason spent time with said head. LOL In short, it's a Powerglide. The shifting is done with a set of solenoid valve, One releasing after the other on the shift. We've been tested with air hose and...

    Here is a good shift [disregard the misfire blips] where it stayed on plane at 2300r after shift. But you can see the 2sec flare where I pulled the throttles back, then jumped on again after the shift. Starting shift RPM was 3600r, flared to 4200, hooked up again at 2300.. Sent from a reclined...

    Was going to attempt a test bench setup for the Transmissions before they go back in. However if I can add an external mag pick up to a V2, I can track output shaft against engine rpm to diagnose why / where they are flaring. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    It's a drum planetary set up. Why we are trying to diagnose the flare. Either of the electronic valving isn't correct, or it's slipping the pack on engagement. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Yes that is the key. However that Flair onshift was pushing the engines to the 6000 RPM limiter. About like driving a Powerglide, with drag slicks, on a wet Road. It may be shifting at 6000 RPMs and 10 miles per hour, or 4500 RPMs at 50 miles per hour. Previously it would just blow the props...

    Yeah after spending the weekend with the only other idiot out there trying to push 13,000lbs or more 100+ mph across the water with sub 7.0L diesels, we realized someone needs to buy both boats, and then ya have one less idiot in the world... His attempt of running compounds, big 40+ pitch...

    Couple new videos for the up all night gear heads.. Last trip out before pulling the trans. Testing line pressure and shifting Rpm range. Something up with the shifts, and she doesn't like the sub 2000rpm range with big props hooked up... Source: https://youtu.be/EuFKfK0_a58 Source...

    $100k rebuilds every 200hrs after you spend $150k up front, is about the wildest things I've ever heard of. Besides the 1550hp that is.. It has 20hr rebuild windows after just $200k down. https://www.yahoo.com/news/crazy-1550-horsepower-engines-cost-211201887.html

    While in MO last weekend I stopped by LOTO to check out some other big boy toys. And just so happened to stumble across the engines that ate up those clutch disks pictured above. If tranny's held up to these puppies at 200mph, pretty certain we can work things out... Also a couple cute 9.7L...

    Ok I learned more today about wet clutches than I ever wanted to know... In the end, we found the exact same clutches I pulled out in 2019, which were the Alto "black" with a Radial or sunburst grove pattern. Not a waffle pattern, nor is there any waffle pattern options available besides...

    Thanks much. (y) I believe those are the "Greens" that actually came up in a discussion yesterday. And may be our goto if we can't source the others. I did actually find some pics from when we tore these transmissions down first time in early 2019. The original Alto is NOT a waffle as I...

    Sweet. We believe that part# is correct, but best ask they send ya pic. Last time he ordered any was 2006. I'll take 50 if ya can find em. 20 to rebuild mine, and Tyson would like to keep some spares. He also has couple hundred of the papers veraion if anybody has a use. Sent from a reclined...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    That would be super. Issue we ran into is everyone keeps cross/ref the Alto # over to over to a standard Borg 4T80E 3rd gear, which while correct, is a paper rather than fiber. I was told by someone yesterday that Raybestos make them in a fiber, but guy didn't call back. Here is a pic of what...
