    Sinister Diesel "Blue" It!

    I basically called them out 4 times on Facebook. Then I started receiving calls from people who got nasty letters. Unfortunately my box has been empty... I know they have my address cuz I purchased parts from them. LOL Any of the big names get served? Or they just picking on small fish today...

    They are literally getting pummeled so badly that I had to toss a picture up there just so as not to be left out... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Ok time for a little something new. Broke out one the NLX turbos today to try and see how, and where I'm gonna mount these puppies. Gonna have to be tight to the Banks intake, and low as possible to clear some boat restrictions. Also need to finalize the positive air shutoff placement. Just...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I brought second engine home Danville last night. Will pop the head off tomorrow and compare the innards.. Then I'll make the call on which way we go forward. Leaning hard towards cleaning polishing the piston tops, since there looks to be a few scuffs in cylinder walls that don't match up with...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    After I sold the little boat, I bought a big cat with full intentions doing this build. Then I realized I sure the hell couldn't afford it. So I sold that boat, a month later I get a call from some crazy dude in Australia, who says no one over here we'll attempt this build for me.. think I...

    This thread so far off topic now, we're going to have to change the title to none of the above... Edit: maybe we call it all of the above... Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    For reference I found a couple pic of these pistons before and right after they were first installed. Here is what Diamond has to say on hard anodizing. http://blog.diamondracing.net/what-is-piston-hard-anodizing

    IAT relocation mod on LLY

    That's interesting. I don't have a lbz ecm to compare right now, but will check this on a LMM. Typically open temp circuits go -40. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Anyway to test these adhesion theories outside my customers two very expensive engines? I'll have the second engine back home Tuesday. While it has less run time, we know it saw higher heat and cyl pressure than this one. Should be interesting to compare since all 16 pistons are from same bake.

    IAT relocation mod on LLY

    Be sure which IAT value your reading. There is a IAT and IAT2 value. If you unplug the MAF, it should read -40F on torque. The one in Ybridge is IAT2 and I don't believe torque has that pid by default. But easy to tell by just unplugging the MAF. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    I concur. My failures were unrelated to the pitting. Sure looks nasty however. So what's your thoughts on polishing the tops?

    IAT relocation mod on LLY

    Toss a POTs in place of the sensor and do a slow sweep while watching on Torque. GM has a history of padding some sensors in ECM, I've noticed this on oil pressure values. Don't recall if the IAT is padded or not. Only issue with the resistor I can see is that it will impact fuel tables under...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Looks something like the examples below?? Made me dig up pics from 2010. My first cracked Duramax pistons.. Ah the memories... :hug: Back then I thought it was just due to 1800F EGT for extended periods. But if you look closely at the cylinder wall you can see the etching of a water line where...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Popped the other head off, and more of the same. However a strange coincidence, cylinder #1 which had a pressure probe in it rather than a glow plug delete stick, and a EGT probe in the exhaust port, has the least amount of coating damage. Go figure.. The lifted coating patterns appear very...
